I still recall
The rocky shore
Windswept Pines, Oaks and Sycamores

It's Alright

The Feeling Stays

[Verse 1]
I saw you dancing
In that red net dress
The one you wore when you loved me best
But I let it slip
Yeah I played it wrong
Now the party's gone but the heat's still strong
You left me in the blues
And nothing but truth
Your name still echoes in this worn out room
I thought I could run
Thought I could win
But I just lost the only thing I ever had
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]                                                                                                                 ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Dark and alone by myself for a while now
Forgetting those things oh
But you are the one but if I'd open up
They could be a connection
Cause opening up it just leads to rejection
And I've been so patient
I've been so good after all this explaining still misunderstood
And yeah we've got issues
Too many to count but if you'd
Give me a chance we could figure them out cause I
[Chorus]
I'd die for you
Bleed myself dry for you
Do anything you want me to
I promise you take all I have to give                                                                              ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

I Played it Wrong (Cover)

This song is pure fun, a fiery explosion of drama, rhythm, and sass. I wrote it as a cheeky way to laugh at those over the top moments when everything goes wrong but you still find yourself dancing through it. Inspired by the bold spirit of strong bold females of the golden era, it celebrates that lovable chaos with fruit, feathers, and flair.

RAGE (Cha-Cha in My Heart)

“Tell Me How You Lived” is a raw, intimate ballad about seeking emotional truth beyond surface stories or reputations. I wrote this to explore the ache of never truly knowing someone, of loving ghosts and memories more than facts. This song leans into shadowy tones and asks the listener to remember someone not for how they left, but how they really lived.

Tell Me How You Lived

In Your Shadow, I Shine



[Verse 1]
The night lays heavy on my skin,
a quiet room where I begin.
Your breath’s a thread that pulls me near,
a fragile truth I start to hear.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And though the silence hides my name,
I feel a spark inside the flame…

[Chorus]
In your shadow, I shine,
like a flame that was waiting for night.
Every whisper, a sacred design,
turning all of my darkness to light.

[Verse 2]
Your touch is softer than the air,
a fleeting warmth that keeps me there.
The stillness holds what words can’t show,
in secret places only we know.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And though the dark would have me blind,
your presence writes the light I find…

[Chorus]
In your shadow, I shine,
like a flame that was waiting for night.
Every whisper, a sacred design,
turning all of my darkness to light.

[Bridge] (sanft beginnend, dann öffnend)
I was quiet, I was small,
hiding underneath it all.
But your shadow called my name,
and I rose inside the flame…

[Final Chorus] (mit voller Stimme, hymnisch)
In your shadow, I shine,
like a flame that was waiting for night.
Every whisper, a sacred design,
turning all of my darkness to light.
Yes, in your shadow, I shine…
I shine… I shine.

In Your Shadow, I Shine

This one was pure fun to write. “Ghosts Don’t Pay Rent” is my cheeky electro-jazz anthem for every soul who’s ever been told they didn’t belong. The ghosts in this track are unapologetic, unbothered, and haunting a gentrified high rise in style, refusing to be priced out of the past. It’s OG sass meets modern glitch swing. A little vaudeville, a little protest, a little laughter in the walls.

100 % me. As Scottish as I can get. I can’t be more Scottish if I tried. 
Sorry won’t let me upload lyrics.

After years of navigating personal loss, my son’s death last Nov, and life’s complexities, I turned to songwriting as a form of therapy, a way to process emotions and tell stories that resonate. My approach to writing lyrics is deeply personal, drawing from real-life experiences, emotions, and reflections. Each song begins as a raw expression, evolving through words that capture the essence of my journey.

To bring my vision to life, I integrate AI-driven music production tools, allowing me to experiment with soundscapes and arrangements that complement my lyrics. This fusion of human emotion and technology helps transform my ideas into fully realized compositions, bridging creativity with innovation. Through my music, I aim to connect, heal, and inspire, one song at a time.
