loooooove this song, the music, the lyrics... just perfect!

Track 4 of 5 in the EP 'Shallows'. A concept album of love, betrayal and heartbreak.
Exhausted by the hate that has consumed you and the sadness that fills you. Everywhere you turn you see her face. Her memory haunts your every living moment. It's time to out-run this ghost. It will take time, it will be a marathon.
"If time is the healer, I am so sick of wishing my life away."

Marathon
Written, produced and performed by Tom Bem

It's a waiting game,
how long till I find I'm safe again?
If it's time that heals then I am so sick wishing my life away.
It's a poltergeist, in my mind that haunts my nights.
Not the type in sheets of white but a little tort feeling that I can't fight.

Its a marathon, and I'm running from you and your ghost that haunts everything I do.
I hope, I hope you know that I'll be fine. This time gonna run and not just hide.
Cos tonight I'm gonna outrun your ghost,
and these feelings that I hate the most,
exorcise these demons in my mind, and free myself tonight.

It's a purpose built
infected memory that keeps me ill
If you're the artist
the masterpiece is how I feel.
Well I'll keep running, a little out of breath but there's no stopping
till you chase and seek for me, just to find that you'll never catch me.

I keep on running.

Tom Bem - Hide & Seek (Ben Gorman Remix)

My first musical diary entry.

I am not usually open about what is happening in my private life, but I think it works in this instance as some sort of artistic musical endeavour. It is as much for me as it is me sharing with you.

September 23rd - October 1st 2016
Unfortunately it has been a tough week after the passing of my Grandmother. However as my family rallies together, trouble makers aside, we all pull through for the sake of one another and my Grandad.

November 29th and I haven't touched the key of a piano since September. This is the first thing my fingers did when I finally got to sit and create again.

Its the end of another year, and what a wild and chaotic year it has been. Needless to say lots of good things have happened in 2016 as can be found in this blog post http://helthehatter.tumblr.com/post/152910935316/good-things-that-happened-in-2016.
