Co-written with twice grammy nominated Annette Bjergfeldt This song appears on my debut album of original songs 'My Cure'.

Lyrics:
VERSE 1

Are you a mirage in my mind?
An illusion of a love that I once knew?
Am I moving back in time?
Re-living crazy nights I spent with you

BRIDGE
I know that I truly loved you
Inseparables pulled apart
How did we get us wrong?

CHORUS
When I hold you
All these feelings come flowing back
When I’m near you
I wonder if we’ll start to crack
Familiar eyes
Will I lose my first love twice?

VERSE 2
Am I losing track of time
Once bitten not twice shy with you
The temptation i my mind
Is to do the things that we used to do

BRIDGE 2
I felt that you were far behind me
And there was no turning back
Here you are by my side

CHORUS
When I hold you
All these feelings come flowing back
When I’m near you
I wonder if we’ll start to crack
Familiar eyes
Will I lose my first love

MIDDLE 8
Whatever mistakes we made
Age has made them fade
A long forgotten time

CHORUS
When I hold you
All these feelings come flowing back
When I’m near you
I wonder if we’ll start to crack
Familiar eyes
Will I lose my first love twice
Will I lose my first love twice
Will I lose my first love……..twice

My Cure

Will I Lose My First Love Twice?

Written for anyone that is struggling to sleep through over-thinking.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
I wrote this song to help you sleep, When your mind keeps turning, thinking deep
Mind escape to someplace else, somewhere you can be yourself 
Chorus 1
Life is one big journey, No destinations here 
Take each day as it arrives, Tomorrows disappear 
One lesson l’ve learned, after 40 years of life 
Savour every moment, Relax....its just a ride. 
Enjoy the ride 
Verse 2
Imagine you are on a beach, as the tide moves gently to soothe your feet
You sit and watch the sun go down, take a long deep breath, remove that frown
Chorus 2
No matter how alone you feel, there’s at least two that care
Even if they’re far away, imagine they are there 
One lesson life taught me after 40 years survived	
Anything can happen, relax.... its just a ride.
Middle 8
You make the choices that you make, Nobody can judge you, No-one is to blame, 
Just take one minute at a time
Relax....... 
Chorus 3
(Start high like a harmony) Those that care the most for you, are sometimes not around
(Normal from here onwards) But anyone ? that loves you, won’t want to see you down
One lesson i’ve learned after 40 years alive
No-one knows the future 
Relax, its just a ride. 
Enjoy your Ride

Lullabye

We seem so meaningful to ourselves but in an infinite universe how meaningful are we? Our planet has been around for millions of years - is it closer to life or death?

Sixth Sense

Kintsugi - Becky Thomas featuring James Parkin

I'm an independent singer/songwriter based in Hampshire, England.
I have been playing guitar and singing in public for 20 years and have released 5 Albums (3 as a solo artist). I generally play quite chilled out acoustic music and have a gentle but emotive voice.
I have approx 30,000+ followers on Facebook and 200,000 video views at last count.
​
My latest Album 'My Cure' is my first Album of completely original material and features a wide range of styles including Rock, Folk, Country and Classical styles. The album tells my story of 2016. It is said that the best art is made in the face of adversity and 2016 was a tough year that saw me battle the worst kind of illness, as well as fall in and out (and in and out) of love and question the meaning of life and my place within it.
​
I am over the moon with how the album has turned out and its been overwhelming to see how moved people are by my story as told through the songs.
