Brother (YKTDY)
Is a very nostalgic song for me. Most songs touch on the subject of love, the only difference here is that I wanted to write a song about how much I love my mates. I wanted to share some of the story’s and memories we lived through in our younger years. Growing up in Moston (Manchester). The good times. The bad times. It’s celebrating he family we choose, in our case our brothers. Life is never plain sailing but I like to think that is about who you are with not where you are. In this industry iv met a lot of privileged people but I honestly wouldn’t change our upbringing for the world. I’m proud of where I’m from & I love my mates so I wrote a song about it. Enjoy.

Something We Can Figure Out

Driving at night

Feel This Forever

Lost
Alone
Sadness
Known
But saw you then
Brought light, we begin

Forever
Heart
Rescued life
Free soul
With your love
By, my, by my side

Shelter love
Through ups & downs
Storms hit
Our hands
Go round and round and round

Peace
With you
Share our dreams
Love won't dim
Nor fall apart at the seams

Forever
Heart
Rescued life
Free soul
With your love
By, my, by my side

Forever
Heart
Rescued life
Free soul
With your love
By, my, by my side

Shelter love
Through ups & downs
Storms hit
Our hands
Go round and round and round

Peace
With you
Share our dreams
Love won't dim
Nor fall apart at the seams

Forever
Heart
Rescued life
Free soul
With your love
By, my, by my side, my side

Sing
In, In my heart
Our love will start
Let's navigate
And chart
Oooooh

Forever
Heart
Rescued life
Free soul
With your love
By, my, by my side, my side

Forever Heart

Time finds out 
Creeping up your back door
Tight lines cut 
The truth in which you stand on

We know how it goes (2x) 

Faces on the page 
Afraid to make a change 
With that step you take 
You'll find your way back home

Sea of dreams 
Close to the truest being 
Hanging the grapevine 

We know how it goes (2x) 

Faces on the page 
Afraid to make a change 
With that step you take 
You'll find your way back home

I know you'd like to choose 
Before you're gonna lose 
What ya gonna do?

Faces on the page 
Afraid to make a change 
With that step you take 
You'll find your way back home

Make a Change

Help yourself
Live
Help yourself dream
It's time you give
It's time you see

The hate
Will destroy
The hate
Will rule
The hate
Deploy
The hate 
Wants you

Help Yourself 
Help Yourself 

Fight it hard
Fight it for good
It’ll take you down
A pathway
Misunderstood

People may hurt you
But that's their own fault
People may hurt you
They'll soon be stopped

Help Yourself 
Help Yourself 

Help Yourself 

Karma works
In mysterious ways
Karma works
Makes people pay

Let it go
I know it's sad
Let it go
You'll soon become glad

Help Yourself 
Help Yourself 

Glad for hope
Glad for love
Glad for dreams
Glad for the above

You may want to hate
As they tricked your life
You may want to hate
But, I say
Love yourself tonight
Tonight

Help Yourself 
Help Yourself 

Glad for hope
Glad for love
Glad for dreams
Glad for the above

You may want to hate
As they tricked your life
You may want to hate
But, I say
Love yourself tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Help Yourself 
Help Yourself
