'Medicine' is my first song out in six years. After a break, I slowly started working on music again, learning more about songwriting and recording. This song is about the feelings that you get late at night, when you miss someone. I can't believe it's been two years and the song has made it this far. I never thought it would be shared, or that I would be the one singing it. Thanks for checking it out and check back for more music soon!

'Medicine' - Lyrics

Late night, I’m lying
Phone lights replying

Wish that I could see you now
Your face right next to me
Wish that I could see you now
To taste the air you breathe
I’m addicted to you now

The feelings are back again
And you are the medicine
Come and take me through the night
With you in my arms again
I’m strong as I’ve ever been
Wanna make you feel all right
I thought I lost my mind
But you arrived
To help me see the light
The feelings are back again
And you are the medicine

Fever is rising
Heat your supplying

Wish that I could feel you now
Your love’s a drug to me
Wish that I could feel you now
Your touch is ecstasy
I’m addicted to you now

Chorus

Break

Chorus

Oh,
The feelings are back again
And you are the medicine

Medicine

'Never Living Without You' is an upbeat, tongue & cheek, pop-rock song that puts a fun twist on the idea of 'love at first sight'. I wrote this song earlier this year, challenging myself to finish all the writing and recording in three days over a long weekend. Cutting myself off from 'over-editing' the lyrics helped me commit to some of my now favourite lines like 'UNO on the stairs' and 'Like kiss on a bike'. I hope you can find some fun images in this one too!

'Never Living Without You' - Lyrics

Hey, you over there!
I’m feeling I’d like to meet ya
Something in your stare
Tells me I’m about to feature
As someone you like
I’ll do all the fun things with ya
Like kiss on a bike
Or kiss as I paint your picture

Baby, hide yourself
In my lovin’ arms where you could belong
If you watch yourself
We’ll be lovers by the end of this song
Baby, I can tell
You the things you’ve never heard of before
If you want the world
Then you better come and knock on my door

Take all you want from me, yeah
Locked eyes at the moment that I knew
I’m not going back
I’m never living without you
You are a part of me, yeah
Knocked out now I finally found you
I’m not going back
I’m never living without you

Come back to my place
That’s where I can introduce ya
To all of the ways
We’re spending the night together
Like musical chairs
I’ll dance to the rhythm with ya
UNO on the stairs
Twister underneath covers

Never Living Without You

'Get Deeper' is a dark synth/funk track about 'deep and meaningful' conversations. Those times when you stay up late with someone and share thoughts about life... even if that's not what it seems to be about at first!

I wrote this song on my birthday a few years ago while staying at a cabin in the woods. I came up with the title while making dinner the night before and in the morning decided to try and write something. This track is what I came up with and recorded when I got home. I had lots of fun playing with the funk/synth sound I ended up with and thought it worked well with the fun, suggestive lyrics. Don’t just get down, ‘Get Deeper’!

--------------------------------------------------

'Get Deeper' - Lyrics

Don’t worry about it
I’ve done this with other people before
There’s no need to doubt it
Just give it a chance
Ah-ah

Open your mouth and let it all go
Feel the darkness taking control
In next few hours
I’ll know you more

Stay here tonight
And talk about love and space
Till morning light
We’re talking back face to face
I’m stolen by the words you’re about to say
But don’t repeat back
Don’t repeat back
I don’t want that
I wanna get deeper
I wanna get deeper

I’ll tell you my secrets
If you share with me your deepest desires
Your fears and your regrets
I’m here for it all
Ah-ah

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

As you confess your innerness
My interest goes on and on and on and on
And on and on and on...

Get Deeper

'Our Turn' is song I wrote about living in the system for the first time and how confronting it can be. Having to get a job and make money, getting told what to do and how to do it, not knowing if things will work out for you. It can be overwhelming and sometimes you just want to break out make your own decisions without listening to everyone around you.

Starting out as a straight guitar rock track, I didn't see what 'Our Turn' could become until Benedict Roff-Marsh worked his magic, adding new drum sounds and synth ideas to bring out the elements of Goth Rock and Post-Punk living inside the track.

'Our Turn' - Lyrics

We play games that they control and break apart
Woah
Shaking for a better roll so we can start
Woah

It’s no fun
Won’t you dance with me
Can’t you see
If we won
They won’t mess with me again

Now it’s our turn
To give ourselves a chance
We never have the money
So, we never pay the rent
And it’s our turn
To take a little more
Been living on Blue Gatorade
And sleeping on the floor
As we watch our free world burn
Now it’s our turn

They don’t ever want to tell us what they know
Woah
Money straight into their hands so they can grow
Woah

Our Turn

After six years away from releasing music, I am so proud and excited to be back with my debut album, 'Falling Down In Love'!

'Falling Down In Love' is made up of songs written over the last four years but weren't intended to be part of a project.

It wasn't until my friend and the album's producer, Benedict Roff-Marsh picked these songs out of almost a hundred demos and noticed how they all sing about love from different angles. Then when we pulled all the songs together, they then created an image of someone who wrestles but at the same time relishes in the struggles of love.

The songs on the album talk about the love of music, the love of someone close to you, the love of someone far, the love of someone who comes back around when you least expect, the love of yourself and the love of life. All things that are a deep part of the human experience.

We chose the title 'Falling Down In Love' because it suggested that life is not just about giving into the happy moments, but giving into the sad moments as well, and finding joy in experiencing love and all that comes with it.

Thanks for listening and supporting my music!
