Stop You Running (demo)

For the ones who felt the resentful feeling against people who haven't believed in you, here there is one of the most energetic song of the EP "Life, Music & Bread".

You'll Get There

Here there's the second track of the EP "Life, Music & Bread".
Ballad written for her...

Welcome Home

Music & Bread

this track was originally written and recorded in the mid 90s of which the original is also available on soundcloud. however this version was recored in 2003 with myself playing and singing everything and possible counts for the odd error, but there is something about this version that i really like. 



learn to dance (2003 recording)

a very romantic song about someone wishing the other person would see that they love them.

love light

this track is about thinking you are the only person in the world feeling something and then realising that you are not. one of my favourite tracks to play live, energetic and lively/

don't ask why

this was writen about a friend who i thought was looking for something that he could not achieve until he sorted him self out instead of hiding away the problem by using drink drugs and trying to find peace that way. the older i become i wonder if in fact it is about myself looking for utopia myself and the answer i get back is yes. yet again a great song to play with two guitars, this time one being copoed on the second fret.

looking for utopia
