You can come as a person or go as you are.
The door is wide open but dont stray too far.
Thats who you are
You are the sun
You are the star

You can follow your head or follow your heart.
But if you stay as yourself then that is a start.
Thats who you are
Thats if you stay
Thats who you are

And i'll see this through
I'm determined to be with you
And I'll mess up the beautiful, 
Because you told me to.

You can take what you hear and love in return
Your face is a song that birds cannot learn.
Thats why you turned
Thats what you heard Thats why you turned.

You can seek out my soul or hide yours away
But closer and closer we grow day by day.
Thats how you grow.
Your name is a rose with petals of gold.

And i'll see this through
I'm determined to be with you
And I'll mess up the beautiful, 
Because you told me to.


The Sun and the Star

A friend let me have a go on his ukulele for a night. It expanded into this.......

The Faster You Run

This is an original composition. I was recommended by a landlord to a uni student for his recording project. Listening to the quality of the recording i can only imagine he passed.

Forgive, Forget

I Hope You Find (DEMO)

This song is heavily influenced by the Bob Dylan - Blowing in the wind

There is a boy who has recently lost his mother. He will soon be loosing the most beautifully perfect woman to me. I hope he finds what he is looking for.




I Hope You Find

I wrote this song as i write many, as part of an experience

A few months ago i was hit from behind in a road accident on the way to Surf in Cornwall. The incident triggered numerous events in the following order.

My car was ruined
His car set on fire
No where to stay (crashed at a randoms)
Random owned a bar (yay)
Random attacked my ex with a knife (boo)
Left quickly at 6am whilst still being drunk (not been to sleep)
Slept for 1 hour in the back of a small van which did have padding (courtesy of a dog)
Constant phone calls to insurance after one hours sleep
Couldn't get a courtesy car = stranded 
Didn't shower in over 4 days 
My guitar was crushed in the crash
My car was lost by a company so retrieving personal items was just insane
i suffered whiplash for a few months
Finally got a courtesy car - took 10 hours to drive home
arrived 30 mins before my gig started.
Surfing holiday = Just no

Description
Tim can play any instrument you can imagine. His musical ability is crafted from the inner depths of his soul.

For now Tim will just perform epic songs on the acoustic guitar but features his voice, harmonica and whistling.

Tim has been dabbling at the accordion and the concertina and is improving drastically.

His next instrument that he wishes to perfect is the beautiful violin.
