LYRICS: 
See the lightning on the skyline
Hear that thunder roll
Feel the storm rising in the midnight air
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

See the snow capped mountain in a big blue sky
Hear that mountain stream begin to flow
And that stream becomes a mighty river
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

So many questions
Where are the answers to be found?
Is my head way up in the clouds?
Are my feet on solid ground?
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

From this headland looking out to sea
As the ocean breeze begins to blow
Wave after wave washes over me 
Reaching out for my soul
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll
Tell me can you hear 
Can you hear that thunder roll

Hear That Thunder Roll

Since rediscovering the songwriting bug with How To Human, I wrote another one in a similar alt-country vein.

Some songs take something special to bring them to life and in this case it is the Amazing voice of Finn Eces. Finn has a quality to his voice which is able to release the magic from a song and really express the message of the song in the Vocal with passion and beauty, very happy to have this collaboration with him. 

this song has been bugging me for months trying to get it to realize its potential and to get the feeling out of the song, i have already released  it under of the name of " Searching for your love" but i was never 100% Happy with it I hope all my SoundCloud friend agree that this is now a really Beautiful song. Finn can be found @finn_eces

 Lyrics ( MoïRa )                                                                                                              
I was going down to Glencoe           When I saw an owl settle on a branch                                                                                               So I sat down for a while                  To admire what surrounded me                                                                               
And I saw what I missed so much     Since I moved to Philadelphia                                                                                                         The sound of the wind in the trees   And the soft runoff of rivers                                                                                                                        ...                                                                                                                                                          I kept holding on                                                                                                                          Because I knew that one day I'll be back again                                                                                 In the land of my childhood                                                                                                             The place I feel like home                                                                                                                      ...                                                                                                                                                           I was on the edge of Glory    And everything was smiling to me                                                                           
But the only thing I saw in my dreams                                                                                           Was the greenery and beauty of Scotland                                                                                           I was missing the freshness of mornings                                                                                       And the rain that was falling almost all the time                                                                              The mystery and depths of Lochs       And relaxed rythm of life                                                                                                                        ...    I kept holding on  ...                                                                                                                 And every night             I wished I could open                                                                                                                      The door of my favorite pub       And raise my glass with friends                                                                                   ...  I kept holding on ...                                                                                                                    Now I'm going down to Glencoe                                                                                                    And it's not a dream anymore

Jimmy T had fronted rock bands for many years in New Zealand but took some time away from music after moving to London. However, during the 2020 COVID lockdown in the UK, he was flooded with inspiration which led him to pick up his guitar and start penning brand new songs. Jimmy T is back once again and stepping out to bring his rock n roll energy to his new introspective and personal songs.

Jimmy T has always been influenced by Americana-style music and most recently taking his inspiration from contemporary singer-songwriters and lead singers like Nathaniel Rateliff, Butch Walker, Brian Fallon and Brent Cowles.
