We all love the A-list singles, but... I, at least, also like the songs that fill the album. This one may be one of them, but I made it with a lot of love. And I even dared to sing a little differently, finding a voice I didn't know I had, for the second voice.

Why should I hold this with me

Have a listen to my album "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025). Quirky and interesting tunes.
Thank you for listening!

I try to write with rich lyrical details and self-deprecating humor about the human condition. Plus, that unique Shade Structure sound!  It sounds best with headphones. Thanks for any comments, reposts or likes.

I was born in 1963. I write songs since 1980, always as amateur. I just can't help It.

I love creative music.  Music helps us to have good times, so necessary in the day to day. I hope my music fulfills that end.
