"Tiny Injuries" is my third full length solo album to complete the trilogy. The first two being "The Restless Dreams of Youth" released in 2021 and "Start at the End" released in 2022. The inspiration comes from the idea that throughout our lives we experience moments that leave tiny  emotional or physical injuries. And as we grown older,  we try to forget about them or hide them, but even the tiniest ones can resurface and we become forced to deal with the scars. No injuries are ever really tiny.

sunday driving

If u know, u know

if u know, u know

Lyrics:
There was trauma when you woke in the night
There was chaos when you started the fight
There were no winners or losers
Just plasters on bruises
And angry neighbours who turned on their lights

And no one can afford to go out
But you don’t have to shout so loud
We’ll get some cheap wine from Aldi and sit on the hill
And watch the sky as the bombers fly out

I’m just a little bit wiser just a little bit older
Just a little bit sadder just a little bit colder
You and me and trauma

You put the trauma in a box
And stored it in the loft
And then told me off
Because I’m either too sad 
Or not sad enough

We’ll take the lock down dog for a walk
Throw it snacks and throw it bones
Give it different pet names to make it confused
Will it be living with me or will it be living with you?

I’m just a little bit wiser and a little bit older
A little bitter sadder a little bit colder
You and me and trauma

You and me and trauma
I’m just a little bit wiser and a little bit older
I’m just a little bit wiser and a little bit older

You and me and the trauma

🖤 The Miracle Syndicate — “Room Without a Mirror” 

Woke at four,
shoes still by the door.
One light flickers,
floorboards warped and sore.

Numb from skin to sound,
clock has no more hands.
Staring at the ceiling cracks,
I still don’t understand.

Call me — dare you.
Feed the thought, undo me.
Fall through — dare you.
One breath away from losing.

This is a room without a mirror,
no one to face, no one to fear.
Days fold over, thin as air.
I speak, but no one’s there.

Three missed calls,
numbers I don’t save.
Voice notes haunt
the space I crave.

Can’t read my own reflections,
shades drawn tight.
My voice a slow infection,
folding out of sight.

Call me — dare you.
Feed the thought, undo me.
Fall through — dare you.
One breath away from losing.

This is a room without a mirror,
no one to face, no one to fear.
Days fold over, thin as air.
I speak, but no one’s there.

Every word’s a wire,
pulled too thin.
Every look’s a fire
I won’t let in.

Room without a mirror,
face without a name.
Lie here in the static,
feed the frame.

Room Without A Mirror

living the night

og det var en pram

I am forever grateful to all the artists that have made some of these songs and vocals come to life with the power and magick of their music.

HSS also known as Holy Shit Show gave me time, effort and an incredible library of sounds and songs to work with. His generosity was immense and he is missed.

The River of Change playlist has evolved, so check it out. Most of the music is old and some new edits and changes have been applied to an old favorite.

Here is to HSS and his incredible music. I hope you are still making great songs, wherever you may be!
