Time To Go Home

My first song since beginning meditation. 
Saraswati has guided me. Meditative track

All instruments played live by me :) No loops no samples no synths.

LYRICS

Spiral:

6th chakra told me 
that you were lost at sea
i spiralled to the centre
of my mind
to help to set you free.
Bright colours raced
towards me brought on
by the flame and an image
of a party where nobody
Seemed to know your name.
I kept the light inside me
and beamed it back to you
Like a heliograph on a mountain side
Or a beacon of love so true.
And rising through the spiral 
the eyes appeared again.
And suspended in a stringless
Sleepless hold i heard you
Count to ten. 
Your name appeared before me
Then golden threaded hair.
and the misty water blue eyes
they held me in a stare. 
My eyes they flicker blindly
I’m falling back to earth. 
And as my breath increases
I am brought in by the surf

Hold you aloft when rain is soft
holding you up to the flame
Rose coloured quartz
bring in the love
Holding you up to rain

There was a light i found within me
after falling back to earth.
an enlightened sense
of intrigue like a renewal
of my birth. 
And I tried to tell the story
to those you’re meant to trust
but the weaker minded
they derided my thoughts
into dust.
And over 10 years later
you came flowing in.
to show me 
i’d become as cynical
as the ones who’d 
filled me in.
So began my journey 
to get back to those eyes 
that had held me suspended
independent from the vastness
of the night.
So if you’re ever being pulled
by forces dark and strong 
Just find the light thats all around you
and woven through this song.
Cause without the love you showed me
and the mirror you held up.
I couldn’t of found my centre and
I woldve never rose back up.

Hold you aloft when rain is soft
holding you up to the flame
Rose coloured quartz
bring in the love
Holding you up to rain

Om mani padme hum

Spiral

Here's a new recording of the song, with some arrangement changes that I hope you'll like.

This was recorded in the 'green room' quad at Festival at the Edge 2015 with Alyson, Karen and Shelley (Bailey Sisters) on group vocals, Alyson Rainey on violin, Richard Chaff on second guitar.

Played for Pete and Claudia x

It Was A Lover & His Lass (ABB, Bailey Sisters, Richard Chaff, Pete Morton)

The Drunkard And The Thief

Another tune by myself and the amazing Tom Stedman - again, only a quick take so rough around the edges, but you get the idea :)

Time Trap

I Must Say

Saviour Of The World

First song I ever wrote back in 2013 and still my favourite to this day.

A song I wrote about the wonderful things my Dad has taught me to love over the years, and how it has effected my relationship with the natural world around me.

Messing about using my phone to record harmonising with my own voice. I love this song by metal/doom band Uncle Acid.
