Cut Me

here in the dark 
i found myself 
lost scared and meaningless 
spend to much time to follow you 
these hills can't get high enough 

so much to fall 
so high to crawl 
if only i find the scene 
where i can speak for only me 
teach me where will i be 

day one repeats 
i am still here 
these seas can't get deep enough 
i follow you 
not question you 
the air can't get thin enough 


so much to fall 
so high to crawl 
if only i find the scene 
where i can speak for only me 
teach me where will i be

does your world seem untrue, as if it's stuck next to you
unbound by your's too, in a place where no's do

Find The Sun

Find The Sun    (Featured on The BBC sounds app "The Sun Lounge with Adam Dunning"

My first track of the year in 2020; I had no idea how prophetic it would be.  We all lost loved ones or know someone whose loved ones perished in the pandemic (still ongoing) and the heart's cry was to have "one more day" to say what needed to be said, to give them a hug or a kiss, share a laugh or a tear; to give them a fond and fitting farewell.  Annie @annie-smart-1 added a lovely vocal and piano part to this song that lifts it to another level.

For One More Day (instrumental version)

Here`s a track from my latest album which I released november 2019. One can download it on services like Itunes or Spotify

Osibisa – Do It (Like It Is)
Rework by The Loneliest Hunk

Full wav file here:
https://theloneliesthunk.bandcamp.com/track/osibisa-do-it-like-it-is-the-loneliest-hunk-rework

Osibisa is a British Afrobeat band, founded in London in 1969 by four expatriate African and three Caribbean musicians. Their music is a fusion of African, Caribbean, jazz, funk, rock, Latin, and R&B and highlife.
Osibisa were the most successful and longest lived of the African-heritage bands in London, alongside such contemporaries as Assagai, Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath, Demon Fuzz, and Noir, and were largely responsible for the establishment of world music as a marketable genre.
