World Seems Open

When I Get To You (2021)

Stronger Everyday

Chateau Lobby #4 (Father John Misty cover) feat. Amy O'Bryan ❤️

Duvet, Red Wine Etc.

I've been living in a dream world lately
You're even better than my dream girl baby

One day pretty soon, our forever will begin
Where even strangers feel the love, from the
 outside looking in

Some might not like it, when they see what they don't have
But most will have no alternative but to smile at us

I've been living in a dream world lately
You're even better than my dream girl baby
I've been living in a dream world lately
You're even better than my dream girl baby

Dream Girl (demo)

A beautiful song written by Richard Ashcroft, while his Father was losing his battle with cancer, and the treatment wasn't working. Running parallel is the futility of self-medication as a means to deal with loss, pain and grief.

You Know How I Feel (I've Never Thrown my Heart and Soul at Anyone)

Big Noise in the Small Hours

30 Odd Years

Nearly At Lantic

On a beach you and I, warm breeze new sky
So content lounged in chairs
Breathing clean sea air

Its so good to spend some time alone, in this comfort zone
No routine 'cause there's no need, let our days be free

Stroll along and feel the tide come in
Write our names in sand
Stay around 'til they wash away
And sun sets the days

No better place to view this sky
As if it's just for you and I
Maybe later we'll dine outside 
And watch the cobbled streets come to life

On A Beach

What first felt like fate was clearly delusion
I've been fooling myself all this time 
And when it fell apart I was left reeling
Couldn't believe, still can't believe it

Maybe its okay because your life is good
I've been getting by for longer than I thought I would 
You used to know me well - and maybe you still do
Trying to cast aside my doubts just to talk to you 

Memories of us long ago, rarely apart
Rest your head on a heart that's now torn and scarred
All of our letters and all of our words 
They made so sure of what I thought we were 

Maybe its okay, maybe I feel glad
'cause it's impossible to lose what I never had
Remember when we'd lie, back when I'd conceal
' Cause I could never find the courage to tell you how I feel

So baby it's okay, it's good to see your smile
But I won't be around this way for a while
Your life has turned out great, just like I knew it would, fate made the change for the greater good

Maybe It's OK

For Grandad

I wore your shoes and I drank your beer
Sat on your shoulders while you held me dear
If time was frozen, it wouldn't be enough
It wouldn't be fair on you if you were hanging around for us

You might remember what I'm holding onto
I'll sit beside you and remind you
If all your memories are lost at sea
I'll shine a light to guide you home

We fixed the car on the drive outside
all summer long
I can't recall what was broken but she never got back on the road
I can even remember back when you worked with Bert
I'd be chewing on a lamb bone, wearing your shirt

You might remember what I'm holding onto
I'll sit beside you and remind you
Even if your memories are lost at sea
I'll shine a light to guide you home

Hard Times (M3SSRS)

My take on a beautiful song by two very talented people. MSP and the Moo. 

Hearing their songs is what kept me striving to learn to write music when I wasn't any good, it helped me realise what I wanted to do, and taught me that simple musical components put together with a nice harmony, always produces better results than elaborate vanity projects.

Daytrip

Pictures of you: those lips and those big blue eyes
Falling asleep with a smile that can't be disguised

Boxed memories that I stored away to hide, from myself
Tracing all the dots we never placed in our time and space

Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep
Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep

Back when I was young, I may have seemed one way
But I would always fumble all the words that I tried to say
Trying to play it cool in front of you
That's all I ever really seemed to do
Trying to play it cool in front of you
That's all I ever really seemed to do


Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep
Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep

A decade and a half since we were teens
And you've still got me smiling in my sleep

Smiling in my Sleep

feat. Ray Marquis on drums
Initial recording and mixing at The Farm Studios by Ray Marquis

It's Alright

I put my foot in my mouth, twice a day
Spouting out words with nothing to say
I put my doom on you, and then I watch my world unglue
'Cause picking up the pieces - that's what I do

When my baggage starts to grow
I've gotta let go, go, go, go, go
When it impacts on you
I've gotta change my mood - for good              

Spending time in a dead-end job
Pencil in time just to sound it off
Didn't see how it brings you down
Didn't try to find some common ground
'Cause sprawling 'round for pieces - that's what I do

When my baggage starts to grow
I've gotta let go, go, go, go, go
When it impacts on you
I've gotta change my mood - for good

I see things that I hate in me
You may think that I let them be
I need to learn to think things through
Stop letting all the bullshit through
'Cause sprawling'round for pieces - that's what I do

If my baggage starts to grow
I've gotta let go, go, go, go, go
When it impacts on you
I've gotta change my mood - for good


'Cause losing all my pieces - that's what I do

Let Go

Lyrics:

Look at me, you can see anything you want to
Because you're free
We try, we all cry when nothing seems to stay right
But we get by, we get by

When you feel alone I'll be by a phone
You're never on your own, you're never on your own
And you'll get by

When you're down, we can hang around
And have too much to drink while we're on the town

Cause you can be and you can see anything you want to
Because you're free

When you feel alone, I'll be by a phone
You're never on you own, I'll be by a phone

And when the feeling's go be, I'll be by a phone
You're never on your own, never on your own
And you'll get by

Help In Hand

Don't Know Why I Say...

I run at speed down dead-end streets
Still in search of something different
I trip myself as if I'm someone else
All just for something to do

I'm not alone in that I find a way to make the day pass away
I'm not alone in that I find a way to make the pain pass away

A victim of insecurity 
You never knew your value 
Unless someone told you
And even then, and even then
Everyones full of it
They're full of it

You're not alone in that you find a way to make the day pass away
You're not alone in that you find a way to make the pain pass away

Not Alone (You Find A Way)

Crazy - you and I
Making these decisions overnight
You came into my life just like a dream
We're made for each other or so it seems 

You bring the love that I never saw coming
I need you in my life til my heart stops runnings
I've never been so sure of anything before

Dizzy and so in love
Daydream, distraction sent from above
The odds of us meeting was a billion to one 
Now life seems meaningful and fun

You bring the love that I never saw coming
I need you in my life til my heart stops running
I've never been so sure of anything before
