from Sunny Fuerteventura, this song reminds me of what I am missing! 

The street lies dark
and sergeant O'Neil
is on night patrol
both hands on the wheel
The drunks and the thieves
He knows them by name
and it weighs on his heart
to see what they became

Every night is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

Father Mulholland
looks at the crowd
Five lonely souls
all with heads bowed
His sermons once flowed
with drive and conviction
now all he can muster
is drab repetition

Every Sunday is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

The excitement of youth
The thrill of the stranger
The great unknown
The sweet edge of danger
They fade over time
To tired resignation
To stay was a choice
is their pale justification

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

Sally O’Brien
pulls one more beer
As it fills it reminds her
Of malt soaked tears
The drunks tell her stories
She's heard them all before
Their whole lives determined
By where they come from

Every Friday night is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

My Vibe

My Vibe - Kerry Sheree

This moody song that I like to classify as 'Dark Pop', was written earlier on this year, inspired by a couple of traumatic events last year. There were many occasions I felt suicidal and utterly defeated. This song is about a battle and strength, a battle against everything that once made me feel weak.

Eptir

Singer songwriter based in North-West England. I take inspiration across a range of genres including blues, folk, jazz, Americana and World music but try to appreciate individual songs at face value without assigning a particular genre. Friends have made comparisons to the likes of Nick Drake, Sting and Jake Thackray among others, and used words like jazzy, chill out and acoustic to describe my original music. I mostly sing my own originals with some cover versions.
Among my musical influences I would also cite the work of Fleetwood Mac, Eva Cassidy, Del Amitri and above all John Martyn. Recently I’ve discovered quite a lot of musicality in the extended family tree which has been a pleasant surprise.

I sing at local open mics, jam sessions and songwriter circles.

Some notes about some of my originals and covers are here:
