Added some nice male vocals by Mike Robeson to this track.

I tried to change the Finnish lyrics to English in the latter half for this one but they fitted in better as they are for now. Maybe another version at some point!

Breathing Under Water V2

Moi, je suis un de ces malheureux 
qui se lèvent tôt et se réveillent tard.
Quand elle m'a dit qu'elle ne saurait vivre sans moi,
moi je l'ai crue.
(C'est normal. Je me connais, tout plein de charme...)
Par conséquent j'étais déçu
de la trouver encore en vie
longtemps après m'avoir quitté.
(Ah! J'enrage!)
Moi, j'aurais bien aimé
un peu plus de conséquemment,
bien plus d'honneur et moins de vent.
(On ne peut vraiment pas leur faire confiance...)
Je lui ai dit:
C'est vraiment trop injuste!
Tu t'es même pas donnée la peine 
de dépérir loin de mes bras!
Elle repondit: 
Mon cher José,
je t'en supplie, ne m'en veux pas!
Tous comptes faits,
qu'est ce que j'ai fait pour justifier tout ce fracas?
Promettre, c'est noble.
Tenir, c'est bourgeois.

Conséquemment

Leap of Faith (Moment of Truth)

I have been endlessly unpacking boxes from storage.  And now I've been informed that another 160 boxes were about to arrive from Taiwan.  And then... Christmas! Ho Ho Ho!

Another Box Just For You

A slow, sad arrangement of Jingle Bells for piano and string quartet. Guaranteed to dampen your holiday spirits!

Needlessly-Sad Jingle Bells

Why Do You Hide?

no offence to anyone with an air-fryer, a house that they talk to, a wristwatch counting their steps, or any of that BULLSHIT.

air-fryer

A song about paths taken and paths missed.

Lyrics:
Gone are the days we wandered
The green hills of Iona
Down the south end
Where only dreamers go
You and me, the salt sea and the heather
Never thought I would need anything more

But falling in love with you, you were changing
Turning around, looking for something new
What was it your soul was craving?
Seek only the path that’s true

Its better to love than to be loved
But makes me wonder why
Seagull glides over the ocean
Set free the one you love and watch her fly

With the Earth that bears us we are turning
Like the sun that warms us we are burning
Like the stars that guide us we are shining
The sea of life flows through us all

My feet tread the earth
My lungs breathe the air
My lips taste the water and the wine
And the path winds where the rocks design
The wind blows where she pleases
The fish know where the river flows
The fox knows when it freezes

Arise, arise, young men of fortune
Roll up your sleeping bags and leave
Wherever you go doors will open
Your heart’s too young, too long to grieve

With the Earth that bears us we are turning
Like the sun that warms us we are burning
Like the stars that guide us we are shining
The sea of life flows from us all

Arise, arise, ye men of fortune
Roll up your sleeping bags and leave
Behind you doors are closing
Chase the arrow of time where ere it leads
