Featuring David Roberts on bass and James Rothwell on the drums, this was meant to be the first demo for Peace Council which was originally going to be a reggae covers and originals band. the pandemic saw an end to that incarnation of the band and the idea has evolved since then.

New music is being produced at the moment and will be released in due course!

Peace, Tolerance and Liberty

"Life before you seems so far away,
One thing I know for sure,
I'll never long for yesterday,
I need you so much more.

I'm gonna try hard, gonna help you see, all the good in the world, and how good life can be girl, 
You can be whatever you wanna be, you're already my world.  

Feels like you've always been with me,
It's like you've been here before.
I think i've finally come to see,
what living life is for.

The progress that you're making everyday,
Surprises me, it blows my mind away girl, 
You can be whatever you wanna be, you're already my world." 


Written, recorded and produced by Tom Clark (Guitars, Bass, Vocals). Drums written and performed by James Rothwell.  Recorded and mixed at "Tom Clark Studios".

Marianne

"Trying to move forwards but you're stuck in reverse,
And all the things that made it better now are making it worse,
Finished every bottle but could not quench your thirst,
And you find you're coming last now when you used to come first.

An' I was up all night,
And I watched the sunrise,
And I thought of you for a while.

Trying to move forwards but you're stuck in the past, 
And just like actors in a movie sometimes life is recast,
Again and again, sometimes seems slow but it's fast,
Turn around before you know it and it's gone in a flash. 

An' I was up all night, 
And I watched the sunrise,
I heard the dawn chorus and I smiled,
In the morning light,
No-one around,
I closed my eyes,
And I thought of you for a while."


Written, recorded and produced by Tom Clark in Summer 2021, and featuring James Rothwell on drums."

Up All Night

"Beneath the night sky, 
Being bathed in moonlight, 
Beside the one you love.

No feeling's better, 
Than being together, 
And needing nothing more.

There are no confines, 
But boundaries set in your mind, 
Break them down set yourself free.

Beyond the skyline, 
There's more than what's in this life, 
What are you waiting for? You've got to be free!

You've got to be free!

It's better to have tried and to fail, than to be idle, 
Yeah it's better to have tried and to fail, than give up."

Written, recorded and produced by Tom Clark, and featuring James Rothwell on drums.  Written and recorded in June 2021 at Tom Clark Studios (Tom's House).

Be Free

"I do not know where to start,
If it's so laboured, is it still art?
I felt that I was losing heart,
You came to me,
Sent waves to me.
Metric on the radio,
She said; "Turn that off",
But I want it on,
We're getting ready for their show,
But truth be told, I want it on because it makes me think of you.

Distracted by your eyes,
That compliment your smile,
You came to me,
Traversing space and time,
To occupy my mind.

From the moment we arrived,
I tried, but I, could not disguise,
I'd rather be, I wished that I,
Was somewhere else, with someone else,
I knew once that we got back home,
That she'd, call it off, and that's all I want,
I only went to see the show,
And truth be told, I spent the whole time wishing I was there with you.

Distracted by your eyes,
That compliment your smile,
You came to me,
Traversing space and time,
To occupy my mind."

Written and recorded by Tom Clark in Summer 2021, featuring James Rothwell on drums.
