Newark demos 2007

(lyrics)

something is happening to me 
but i'm not scared 
I guess I'm just becoming more aware  
aware of what I am 
and what is around 
aware of all the troubles 
that each of us surround  
I'm seeing things differently
things I might've liked 
now have become objects
I might even despise

aware of what you are, and how you live 
aware of what you don't got 
and what you don't give  
people around me 
places I see
leave me feeling so empty
like it's not what it is supposed to be  

aware of all your mistakes that you constantly make
aware of what you don't say
and all the time you waste  
are you someone to look up to?
someone who can be admired?  
are you a hero?  are you a fighter?  
are you a winner?  are you a climber?  
or are you just another tired old man
who's young at heart  with a lottery ticket in his hand 
cause you look tired
you make me sick you're a liar  
and you don't even give a shit  

aware I have become  of the moon and of the sun 
and how they shine on everyone

Some of these songs would end up re-recorded for my debut album "Lions" in 2007 (available on streaming platforms)... but I kinda like the demos better, they feel more magical

June, where are you?

Why My Love, Why?

Newark demos 2006-2007

Moved to England, travelled, performed, wrote songs and poems, recorded demos, read books, ate fish & chips, met lots of cool people, wild times. But I was still finding my feet as an artist. Slow learner,  late bloomer. Different world back then. Although in some ways nothing has changed. Ever.
