Come Back Home (Duo Version) (Radio Edit)

As the summer begins to wane, it feels like the right time to set this one free. It’s a song about holding on to the things that fire you up; that give your life meaning despite the world doing it’s best to stop you. I certainly wrote this song to my creative self. As the years fall away, I find it gets harder to give enough attention to the things that light the spark within me; somewhere quietly defiant. I have friends the same way; torn between passion and paying the bills. We must endeavour to hold on to what makes us who we are.

Don’t Let Your Light Go Out.

Releasing Tuesday, 6th September, 2022.

LYRICS
There’s an old fashioned way of staying strong when days are long
In your quest, your search for proof, it’ll keep you calm and safe from harm
When it seems like the whole world is doubting you;
You can barely see the light when the day is through
Don’t Let Your Light Go Out

When your quest; your search for truth
Weighs you down and claims your youth
You can’t speak; your heart is stone
Your words are weak and dry as bone
There’s a new way, honey, I can see
There’s a better life ahead for you and me
Don’t Let Your Light Go Out

I’ve always known, I’ll ride out the storm (no matter what it takes)
I’ll find my way to the light; I’ll find my way home
I’m seeing it through

I’ve always known
I’ll ride out the storm
I’m seeing it through

Don’t Let Your Light Go Out

LYRICS
Cold as ice, caught in the passing of time
I didn’t understand the things that you do
So I settle you down,
“Take in the moment, it’s not gonna come back around”
But you frowned and said:
“For some things in life, you gotta keep those feet on the ground”

I take comfort in you, but That’s All
I don’t feel like you do and That’s All
and sooner or later you won’t want me hanging around

Don’t just stare at the ground
For some things in life are waiting just to be found
And no doubt, I need you tonight
To keep me from just dropping out

I take comfort in you and That’s All
I don’t feel like you do and That’s All
and sooner or later you might just need me around

Is it true…what you say?
Is it true…you’re drifting away?
All that you say…is it even remotely the truth?

Have I lost you?

That's All (Duo Version)

I often feel the weight of the earth; not so much of the planetary body itself but the heaviness of our brief time here; the relentlessness of bad news and the human race's tendency towards self-destruction. But in my mind, I am free; I am dust filled with light. As Carl Sagan once said, we are all made of "star stuff", and we all have the power to free ourselves, momentarily at least, from The Pull of the Earth.

LYRICS:
Curse the man who deals in luck
There’s a way of life in looking up
There’s a cosmos in your cup
There’s a voice, there’s a thought

When your feet don’t leave the ground
There’s a ray of light that can’t be found
There’s a truth in absent sound
There’s a void, calling you

Out there,
I go far beyond the realm of the earth
I climb high above the cloud and the dirt
I have found out what it’s worth
To be free from The Pull Of The Earth

When the daylight weighs on you
When you’re blinded by the few
Once you realise it’s true
There’s a choice, there for you

Out there,
I go far beyond the reach of a gun
I rise high above the man I’ve become
And I’m not the only one
To reach light years out from the sun

In the kingdom of the night,
We are dust filled with light
In the sea of a dream
Born to sunbeams
Open up your eyes
Open up your mind
And you’ll be free
From The Pull Of The Earth
