Zero Winner

Inspired by Felix Baumgartner and his jump from a helium balloon in the stratosphere on 14th Oct 2012. He fell an estimated 39km and broke the sound barrier!
Humanity is capable of amazing and brilliant things.

Big thanks to Emma J on drums and Bruce on bass.. 

Watch all the good people
Try to survive 
Cheerfully pushing through
Their struggle disguised

Watch the lonely 
As they say goodbye
Their gentle smiles that hide
The pain inside

Open your eyes
You might be surprised
At all the trouble
Hidden in plain sight
If you open your eyes

Watch the childless
As they pass you by
Empty arms that ache
For what they're denied

Watch those left behind
They might seem alright
With a hole that can't be filled
No matter how hard they try

Open your eyes
You might be surprised
At all the trouble
Hidden in plain sight
If you open your eyes

What you want is what you don't have
You want the silver lining but never the cloud
Show me love and I'll show you pain
Maybe the sun shines only after the rain

Open your eyes
You might be surprised
At all the trouble
Hidden in plain sight
If you open your eyes

Open Your Eyes

I love music that takes me on a journey with unexpected twists and turns, painting pictures in my head. I hope my music does that for you.
 I have several albums available on Bandcamp (link below) and please also check out my YouTube channel where I did some music videos.
