Into the Blue

If I Stay Demo - Hannah White

North Star is an uplifting song about seeing the light in someone, even if they don’t see it in themselves, and how you use their light to guide your way home in the dark. How you can see them glowing, the spark that surrounds them and appreciate their strength and compassion through life’s hardships.

SAFETY FROM HARM LYRICS by Hannah White

Let me introduce myself, Let me introduce myself, Let me introduce myself

I live in a home I don’t own on land that’s not mine
Eat food I’ve not grown, that border’s a line
A nation I’m born to, a language I speak
With rights I’ve not earned while others don’t have

The right to clean water
And the right to shelter
And the right to safety from harm, safety from harm, no safety from harm

Let me introduce myself, Let me introduce myself, Let me introduce myself

I am the hope that I feel when I refuse to divide
And I forgive someone out there who’s hurt me inside
And when I hear something hateful I don’t understand
I chose love over anger and still hold out a hand
As if we’re the same

The same as each other
As it’s the only way
To give us all safety from harm, safety from harm, safety from harm

(I hope that I feel; Refuse to divide; I hope that I feel; Refuse to divide)

Sweet song of salvation, a pregnant mother sings
She hopes someone’s standing
Standing for her 

Safety from harm, safety from harm, safety from harm
I hope that I feel safety from harm, safety from harm
Safety from harm, safety from harm, safety from harm
I hope that I feel safety from harm, safety from harm

God Only Knows - Hannah White

The opening track from my album Fighting for the Sinner or the Saint. I grew up in a house that backed onto the railway - the mainline into London Waterloo. You could certainly hear the trains - so loud you had to stop talking. You could feel the trains as the house shaked rattled and rollled as they went on by. It seemed to me the railway line was like a rive. A dirty river rolling to the sea.

Bittersweet memories - we all have them. Al keys on this by Lars Hammersland - tremendous stuff. track 2 from the album Fighting for the Sinner or the Saint.
