    LYRICS

    Where have all the flowers gone
    The fields where we once played
    The grass is green in photographs
    And now it’s washed away

    Sands fall through the hourglass
    Time and tide pass by
    A butterfly hangs overhead
    Then crashes from the sky

    Look what we’re done
    You will burn in our sun
    You will eat what we breed
    You will choke where we breathe
    You will fight when we rest
    You will die from our thefts
    You will drink from our waste
    We will die in disgrace

    Everblue this we give to you
    Look the other way
    Just for one more day
    We just look the other way
    Sorry to betray
    We just look the other way
    Spend and let you pay
    We just look the other way
    Nothing more to say
    We just look the other way
    Just for one more day
    We just look the other way
    Sorry to betray
    We just look the other

    Hold On is track 9 on the album Focal Point.

    The main piano riff came from a song I wrote called "Still it rains" but after witnessing the Tsunami tragedy on TV on boxing day 2004 the song became "Hold On".

    That Tsunami left 230,000 people dead or missing and another 2 million homeless. Our attention has since moved away but the effects of such a catastrophe are very much a reality for many people, especially children, in that area.

    LYRICS

    Despite ourselves we cannot win
    No magic cream for fragile skin
    When the world decides you’ve had your time
    Prepare yourself to get in line

    Hold on to what you’ve got
    ‘cos it can all go tomorrow
    Hold on to every one you need
    Hold on
    Things can change

    In spite of this we don’t give in
    From sudden ends the new begins
    When the world decides
    To play its hand
    Prepare yourself
    Forget your plans

    Hold on to what you’ve got
    

Hold On

Waiting

The Human Race

I think I suffer from SAD and after two days of looking out at grey skies and rain I started to tinkle on the piano and captured this little instrumental.

Grey Skies

A demo of a track I found on an old memory stick. Uploaded to SoundCloud for safe keeping. 60 seconds of fun! Enjoy :o)

Parallax

I wrote this bit of music imagining it set to a creepy post apocalyptic background. It gave me chance to experiment with some sound designs. Feel free to play it to small children at bedtime :o)

Creepy

 It always surprises me that children smile and laugh so much. This becomes ever more apparent when you see children playing in a backdrop of streets torn apart by poverty, natural disaster or war.

    There is something amazing about the human spirit that helps it overcome.

    "When It Rains" will also be featured on my next album but as a single it has been mastered at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London.
lyrics
    It's dark on the road on your own.
    The dust stings your eyes then it rains.
    Six months have dragged by since the end of your world.
    Tomorrow you'll get up again.

    I know you look back in anger.
    There's hurt, there's fear and there's pain.
    I see your spirit fly on different winds.
    For you dream of the sun when it rains.

    When you're lost, on your own, we can find a way.
    Don't look back, don't be scared, I am here to stay.
    Take my hand, walk with me to your new home.
    Let your heart dance again, you are not alone.

    I know you look back in a
