My white swan

The most beautiful journeys
on the most beautiful shores
out of sight
you stole them for me

the sweetest of faces 
and facade smiles 
to hide the ravagers
of a brutal childhood

i think of you 
whaterver the weather is 
i dream of you 
just like before 
My white swan 

All that remains from you 
are those old pictures 
of an unfailing friendship
but i haven't turned the page

i think you 
whatever the weather is 
i dream of you 
just like chasing the wind
we were like kings 
we were like beggars
my brother in blood 
my white swan 

Far away , i keep far away 
from those who called you « the black swan »
far away , from envious and means 
who understood nothing 
who just couldn 't even … see 

i think of you 
whaterver the weather is 
i dream of you 
just like before 
i look for you sometimes
in the corners of time 
my brother in blood 
my white swan

A Reflection

Saint is the first single from AFTER LONDON's debut album. It represents a new direction for the band, who have developed a heavier, darker sound that draws influence from grunge, rock and nu-metal.

A Heartbeat Away

My tears have all dried,
The heartache has ended,
Those long, lonely nights
Are now far behind.
The key to my heart
Rests safe in your hand,
And nothing else matters—
We're together again.

Together again,
The grey skies have faded.
You're back in my arms,
Right where you belong.
The love that we shared
Has come alive once more,
And nothing else matters—
We're together again.

And nothing else matters—
We're together again.

Clouds Over My Head

This is my oldest sisters favorite song of mine, and she's requested that I sing it at her wedding in June:) I did this live take last night. This song has been one of those that has progressed, mainly with the chorus, which when that came I was happy, that complete feeling:) Thanks so much for listening! 

Purple and Pink

She pulls Heaven down from above with her love
Suddenly I leave the daily shove embracing love
She takes me for walks on streets of gold we'll never be old
We sit by a river as clear as glass and let time pass

She is all I think all my dreams are full of purple and pink of purple and pink
She is all I need all I need in a world that's on the brink in a world that's on the brink
Without her I would sink

So long of hoping so many years painful years
She comforts like warm sun rays clearing the haze
I see her spirit oh how it glows like a thousand rainbows
Waves of crystal are rolling in she smiles at me again

She is all I think all my dreams are full of purple and pink of purple and pink
She is all I need all I need in a world that's on the brink in a world that's on the brink
She is all I need all I need in a world that's on the brink in a world that's on the brink
Without her I would sink
Without her I would sink

She pulls heaven down from above 
With her love

Seadog - Shell Shocked

Seadog is the Brighton-based dream-pop project led by musicians Mark Benton and Tom Chadd. Blending lush melodies with anthemic electric and acoustic textures, Seadog crafts songs that drift between lullaby and anthem, weaving influences into a rich tapestry of sonic storytelling. Following their debut album Cabin Fever Blues —produced in part with legendary engineer Phill Brown (Talk Talk, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones) Seadog returned with their second album, Internal Noise. Born in the stillness of the 2020 lockdown and brought to full life at Bella Union Studios in Brighton, the record features production from Jack Wolter of Penelope Isles, who also contributes drums, guitars, and backing vocals. His sister and bandmate Lily Wolter adds further depth with her guest vocals on the album, enhancing the intimate yet expansive feel of the recordings. Seadogs music has been championed by a range of respected voices, earning airplay on Amazing Radio, BBC Introducing The South. Their single Tidal Wave marked a major step forward, selected for Tom Robinsons BBC Introducing Mixtape on 6 Music and spotlighted on Lauren Laverne's BBC 6 Music Recommends show. With Internal Noise, Seadog continues their ascent, creating music that's as emotionally resonant as it is sonically adventurous songs that soar, shimmer, and stay with you.

"Tidal Wave ticks all the boxes for me...but above all, it sounds like it's flying and I have a soft spot for songs that sound like they are flying." - Jason Lytle (Grandaddy)

"Really love Tidal Wave, lovely melody and the chorus lifts off so well." - Matthew Caws (Nada Surf)

"Seadog have been quietly working their way into our hearts through a consistent run of tracks released over the last few years. Seadog's home within our hearts is set for many more years to come." - Simon Raymonde (Cocteau Twins/Bella Union)

"Really pretty good and nice voice"- David Crosby
