Hello friends, I'm thrilled to share my Warm Hug set with you all.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined me on Friday 1st Dec for our first ever Warm Hug live experience, I’m still processing it and might be for a while. I’m really happy with how it went, it was everything I had imagined it to be, and from the feedback received, it was something that a lot of people had been longing for and needed.

There was a lot of mutual respect for each other in the space, some people were wrapped up in blankets with their eyes closed the whole way through, while others felt compelled to dance. it’s great to know that people felt that level of freedom to express themselves the way they wanted to.

’m grateful to have been able to share this vision with such open minded and supportive people, your trust means a lot. I hope you enjoyed the musical story I told, this was about me showcasing the deepest, most emotive, and most sensitive side of my playing.

I’ve longed to share this kind of music in a live setting for a while now, and finally we've created right environment for it to be appreciated to the fullest. A Warm Hug is here to stay.

I hope the whole experience had a positive effect on you, and maybe even helped release trapped emotion or helped you on your own personal healing journey that you might be going through. One thing is for sure, music is a powerful tool, and presented in this way can have wonderful and much needed calming effects on our nervous systems.

I will be doing some reflecting, and hopefully have news soon on the next Warm Hug experience.

Please try and listen to the whole set in one go so you can fully absorb yourself into the entire story being told.

Opportunistic

It starts with an idea and a smile begins to break
you got a big brain in your head and two strong hands to grapple fate
you can go anywhere you choose and make the world into new shapes 
So follow all the things you love and not the things you really hate
And just like gathering ingredients for a pudding that you bake
collect the good thoughts and combine them make them into something great
Soon you’ll be stirring up a strategy to share the love you make
And all the love that you get back is just the icing on the cake

Yeah opportunistic thats the way i wanna be, Opportunistic I talk about it now
Opportunistic thats the way I wanna be, Opportunistic I talk about it now

Yeeeaahhh! The opportunities here!

So place one foot after the other and open up both your eyes
You are the most beautiful soul and there’s no need for a disguise
Don’t let yourself regret the things you can’t control and sad goodbye’s
Because your soul is like a bird and if you set it free it flies
Cos every life has many lows and every life has many highs
and everybody lives a life and one day everybody dies 
So listen always to your heart and let love always be your guide
And hold on tightly to your seat, remember it’s all just a ride

Yeah opportunistic thats the way i wanna be, Opportunistic I talk about it now
Opportunistic thats the way I wanna be, Opportunistic I talk about it now

Yeeeaahhh! The opportunities here!

And sometimes it will be hard there will be things you can’t control
They will weigh heavy on your heart and disconnect you from your soul
And it may seem your on a steam-train hurtling further from your goal
Bit if you persevere you may just find the diamonds in the coal
And maybe still you will not understand the meaning of your role
But life is so enormous you are just a fraction of the whole
So don’t let troubles grow so large there is a reason you evolved
To find the self perceiving universal cosmic truth resolve

Yeah opportunistic thats the way i wanna be, Opportunistic I talk about it now
Opportunistic thats the way I wanna be, Opportunistic I talk about it now

Yeeeaahhh! The opportunities here!

So keep on searching and exploring climb the mountains in your mind
And when you scale them share the lessons and the treasures that you find
and watch the worries fly right by you as you leave them far behind 
Because the strongest chains get broken and the tightest ties unbind
The world is always at your feet so go wherever you’re inclined
And every person is part of it we all are intertwined
from the tiniest of sparks to the brightest star that ever shined
just remember to be strong and to be true and to be kind

Yeah opportunistic thats the way i wanna be, Opportunistic I talk about it now
Opportunistic thats the way I wanna be, Opportunistic I talk about it now

Yeeeaahhh! The opportunities here!

If you ever want something in life, reach out for it
If you fall down, get right back up again
let the past be the past 
the futures waiting for you, right now, the opportunities there!!!
