Circling The Sun is a conversation with the universe about who we are and why we’re here.

Circling The Sun (Single)

Sometimes it’s not about making big plans, but simply putting one foot in front of the other. The poison of comparison can be a real minefield, and we hope that our platform will always be a space where people feel encouraged to be themselves. We believe that it’s more important to have your heart in the right place than to meet societal expectations of ‘success’. We hope that ‘Through The Night’ will contribute to the cultural shift towards mental health and suicide awareness being a welcomed part of the conversation.

Everyone

‘Morning Coffee’ struggles with the reality of being an artistic person trying to make a living off art and support a family at the same time. It’s a reflection on what we value as a society. So much art is missing in today's world, and one could argue it’s a cause of the increase in depression. A visible representation of this ‘missing art’ can be found in today’s lack of architecture in new housing developments, amongst other things. What can fill our pockets over what is beautiful. This is the driving force behind so much of the modern day. You could argue whether or not it was better to be an artist in an earlier period but that is not the thought here. The thought is what philosophy drives us as human beings to get up every morning and do something. There was once a time, when people would spend a lifetime crafting a building because of beauty. 
“Reflecting on what drives us to do things, often makes me sad, because the dollar so often outweighs the beauty.” 
This reflection drove Michael to create ‘Morning Coffee’.

“I’ve worked a ton of jobs I hate. So often as an artist you’d hear or feel the ‘get a real job’ notion. However this begs the question: What is a real job? and Why do anything at all? After thinking about this for years, if your answer doesn’t contain beauty, then why bother.” 
The song concludes that this is something He can not not do. And it will be hard. 
“There’s something in me that demands a response of creativity. To create and to wonder. The order of my life is first towards supporting my family, to be a good husband and to be a good father. And under that, to my career. If I can earn a living that supports my family, albeit smaller than a 9-5, is it not better to create beauty than to fill my pockets?”

Morning Coffee reflects these thoughts with a pining guitar riff. Michael’s vocals reverberate as if in a dream, struggling to find a way to work it out. The drums equally echo adding to the dreamy feeling while a guitar simply strums wistfully away. The lead guitar influenced in part by John Mayer completes a longing solo for resolution while hanging in the struggle. 
Morning Coffee is out February 9th, 2024.

This is a song I made at the beginning of 2016 (and then i left it for ages, and now I've finally finished it..). It's about mental illness.

Yours [Live]

Tropical Punch

Its a relatable, moody song about the mental ups and downs of the lives we live - and the realisation that everything in life is temporary. 

Everyday is a song to give closure to anyone out there that may be struggling with something. To know that there is always light at the end of the tunnel and tomorrow is a new day.

A song about learning to live in the now and embracing change.
