Patch Bawn is a 21 year old singer songwriter who plays a unique style of music, like Ben Howard crossed with Snow Patrol!

Patch started off playing gigs around Exeter as a teenager. He made it through to the Area finals (semi finals) of the national music competition "Live and Unsigned" in 2010. Since then he's been to University in Reading, and now the World is his oyster.

Lyrics:

When we were young life felt so free 
And all of our dreams were clear to see
And everything felt like it could come true

But through the time somewhere we let go
And all those dreams turned into unknowns
And life took hold and led you far away
Into the grey

It's fight or flight and sink or swim
You can fight for dreams with a chance you'll win
Coz failure is just a cue to try again

Oh coz without hope life is just a chore
Everyone has goals that they're aiming for
But very few ever get to see them through
Into the blue 

You can wait around the corner for so long but I know where I'd rather be
Out front central with all of the people singing out the lyrics I speak
You can live your life through a distraction but until you find sanctuary
You will never live through your potential and you will never be the person you know you could be

Don't deny it until you've tried it
This will all figure out
All you need to do is what you want to do
You can make it somehow
And all you need to say to yourself today 
Is "I can find a way out"
Coz life's a one time game
But you can win today
Just let your heart lead you out 
Lead you out

You can wait around the corner for so long but I know where I'd rather be
Out front central with all of the people singing out the lyrics I speak
You can live your life through a distraction but until you find sanctuary
You will never live through your potential and you will never be the person you know you could be

I wrote this song with a layer of meaning related to escaping from the grey - times in life when things aren't going quite as well as you'd like - and into the blue - a new, positive chapter of your life. 

It is written with a positive message that no matter what knocks you down, or whatever life throws at you, you can still achieve your dreams and you can still become the person that you want to be. 

Grey and Blue

My name is Patch Bawn and I have been a musician for as long as I can remember now. I've been writing songs and performing since I was sixteen and I absolutely love what I do!

I am a singer/songwriter and take influence from a huge number of bands and artists. People usually say that I have a similar style to Newton Faulkner, Snow Patrol or Ed Sheeran though.

My debut EP 'Epoch' came out last year and is now available on iTunes and such. My follow up EP 'Paronomasia' is due to be released next month too so it's very exciting times!

Hello,

I am a sound engineer working freelance and working for Team Rock Radio where I have been lucky enough to record some fantastic live and acoustic sessions with some massive bands.

Enjoy!

We're creating an album to raise awareness and money. We've noticed that the poorest parts of the planet are being hit hardest by so called "natural" disasters, and that at least some such disasters are in fact "man made".
