Cup of Coffee is a story about recovery from a dark place. The song describes the warm consistent reassuring way in which Jesus and God give strength, peace and love. Take a moment to relax in the face of adversity or anxiety, trust and listen to the voice of the Lord, and take one step at a time to achieve one's calling in faith with fearless energy.

This is a powerful track about the awesomeness of God, a call to praise in the event that the judgement comes. It references Psalm 47; of particular inspiration was verse 6 - Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. Hope it gives you ENERGY.

Memories of Spring

For Goodness' Sake is a kooky song about lots of nasty stuff that seems to get regularly ignored or that some people don't ever hear about because the information isn't widely publicized. I could have probably created about 100 more verses, because that's humanity for you! I don't wish to down play a lot of really good things about humanity, but there seems to be a massive recurring problem created as a result of putting money ahead of people (acquiring more wealth than needed). So many examples of pain and suffering that wouldn't have to exist if people were able to simply love others as they love themselves and love God and all of creation with their hearts and souls ahead of buying lots of stuff. 

This song has a jokey vibe, because we all carry a certain level of denial about the bad things that happen that are seemingly outside of our control. These issues are not a joke at all, but it sometimes feels like people carry on habitually enabling them to perpetuate, which is a bit of a shocking joke, and I thought it might serve to shake people up a bit and inspire some action. 

We all do bad stuff sometimes deliberately for our own gain, or accidentally when we don't know, and it's often hard to know sometimes what good or bad is when the lines are blurred, but still the above truth "love people ahead of money, is a winning philosophy", this song is positioned to spread that message. The challenge of this song is, to not blindly continue habitually doing or facilitating bad stuff once you know about it. The challenge also is to make sure you do plenty of research, assess the science, and form a viewpoint to support what you believe is right and wrong (as there's a lot of fake news out there). Together we can stand up against injustice and improve life for all. I believe that Jesus came to forgive our sins, that we can seek forgiveness when we are truly sorry for what we’ve done, remove the guilt we harbour in our souls. But I believe we have to actively stop the wrong behaviour too. We can find peace by living this way. 

But, whatever you believe, there is opportunity to reap what you sow personally. Actively stopping supporting the bad is so rewarding to ourselves (almost every philosophy supports the idea that helping others is good for you). And, at the end of our lives, we'll be able to stand up and at least say we tried to do the right thing, and others will remember us for it.

Newborn is a love song about loving someone so much that you want to have a child with them and then having a child with them and the dreams and aspirations you have for that child as you hold them for the first time. The lyrics are inspired by observations of Rien and his wife's relationship, the news of his new arrival and of course by Jim's experiences of the birth of his two kids.

Newborn

From my debut album Feet in the Water this song is about that moment in life when you meet that certain special someone who changes your outlook.  Eyes are opened and you start to see beauty in places you wouldn't have considered.  It's great.

Beauty In Everything

This song is about avoiding stagnating in life, taking a risk every now and again, going against popular opinion.  Essentially it's an anthem to stop people who's perception of life stops them from doing what they want.

Lullaby

A nice song for relaxing to. It's about music and how much I love it, simple as that.

The original track is written by me but produced by Patrick Wood who also wrote the additional base and the secondary guitar parts. The wonderful additions from Patrick make this song absolutely beautiful.
