lyrics
don't I look like my mother
when I've passed out on our kitchen floor 
from fighting drunk at the bar

don't I look like my mother
when I'm jealous and insecure 
and throwing holes through our bedroom door

I never thought I'd be cut from the same cloth
my eyes burn just like hers when I'm fucked up
I thought I'd learn
But ain't I my mother's girl

Don't I look like my mother
when I cry over lovers you never kissed and I'm talking tough and clenching fists

Oh I never thought I'd be cut from the same cloth
but my eyes burn just like hers when I'm fucked up
I thought I'd learn
but ain't I my mother's girl

ain't I my mother's girl?

Music & Lyrics by Philip Whitehead

Like a maze, the first half is free
The second takes you farther away from me
What kind of world we'd be
If no-one heard him say I have a dream

They said we'll fight them on the beach, yeah
Like it's a good thing to give each his end
Never mind what the good book teaches
Ignore the gospel that his creatures send

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

Like a crown, I wear my regret
Turns out the truth is just a silhouette
Made of nothing yet
We trace the outline and at once it's set

See my father in my history
And in my future he's still all I see
This kind of symmetry
Is what makes all of us so hard to beat

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

The Maze

A track about questioning

Lyrics:

How can you stay awake forever?
How do you keep no regrets?
When it appears to be nothing
That's letting me down?
If you could tell I feel different
Then I would play any game
When life appears in my system
Will I feel down again?

Never made sense to die for love
How could I stand
Alone into The Great Alone?
One night I'll be there
Through my life I'll try
Remaining far from it
But not enough for me to forget

It doesn't care if I'm ready
It doesn't care if I'm right
I just don't feel like I'm steady
And that's letting me down again

Never made sense to die for love
How could I stand
Alone into The Great Alone?
One night I'll be there
Through my life I'll try
Remaining far from it
But not enough for me to forget

Not so far

Never made sense to die for love
How could I stand alone into the great alone

II. The Great Alone

Don't Panic is the new album from British virtuoso acoustic guitarist and singer-songwriter, Jon Gomm. 

Don't Panic is the follow up to debut album Hypertension, released way back in December 2003. Why the long wait? ''I made the first record shortly after I d put together a solo acoustic set and wanted to start touring: it was just a demo to get gigs. I made it a full length album because back then the gig fee was barely covering my petrol money, and I needed something to sell!'' This plan worked a little too well, and Gomm has been touring hard ever since, taking his unique brand of virtuosic acoustic guitar-playing to prestigious festivals around Europe and a punishing tour schedule centred around the UK and Italy, and a new album has had to wait. 

The new CD features stronger songs, exhibiting Jon's genuine grasp of a wide range of genres from blues to jazz to rock to country, which comes from his lifelong experience as a session musician and musical academic. Throw in some Urdu lyrics and you're getting the picture: a one man melting pot. The songs range from dark laments, to sweet melodies, to frenzied romps and there's even elements of the humour for which Jon's live shows are renowned. The guitar playing here is perhaps even more technically demanding than the previous CD too: ''Every time I arrange a new guitar part I make sure I can t play it without practice. I love the technical aspect as much as the creative process of songwriting, although they are very much separate affairs.'' And as with the debut album, there are no overdubs here, although it may sound like it: there is never more than one guitar on every track. 

Jon's fiercely independent approach to the music industry has meant that the CD was home recorded and is released on his own label.

Jon Gomm is an independent, non-corporate musician. He sings songs, writes songs, and plays guitar, and spends a lot of his time travelling around playing gigs. He's basically just trying to be an individual in a world that wants everything to sound the same. He's not famous, but don't worry he doesn't want to be, and you've heard of him and that means a lot.
