Ive been dreaming of a time
Where the water turns to wine
Ive been foolish and soooo blind
I’ve been a bitter self nobody can unwind

And it feels like the open door
Has closed upon me once more
And feels like Ive missed my chancer
To take back these wasted years

Ive been bitter to myself
And forgotten everyone else
I keep thinking to myself
Would I be better off, if I didn’t regain my health

And it feels like the open door
Has closed upon me once more
And feels like Ive missed my chancer
To take back these wasted years

And it feels like the open door
Has closed upon me once more
And feels like Ive missed my chance
To take back these wasted years

Open Door

Really wanted to write and record some lyrics for this track, but everything I came up with either didn't suit it, or I just plain hated it, so here is the Instrumental version

Suffer

Written while working at Sea as a musician, this track was a direct expression of how I was feeling at the time. I dismissed it as an emotional baggage track and so threw it onto a folder to be forgotten like allot of my other music, but its time I stop hiding my music, as I no longer fear public ridicule, I am who I am, I write what I write and this is me literally writing my own history.

On Waves (Alone)

This was the result of great emotional and physical pressures being thrown at me for making the decision to become a professional musician. This is a track thats been sitting in a folder since the end of July, I find this track is a very relevant summary of the past 5 years of my life, not litteral mistakes, but missed opportunity's.

We All Make Mistakes

I get an idea in my head how I want the song to sound, its mysterious and magical and it doesn't come in bits or parts, Its the WHOLE SONG and arrangement and mix all in one, unfortunetly as I start to whittle away at it I loose sight of the original "Vision" and my thought process took me down a different path, as with most of my songs they are written instrumentally first and lyrics and vocals, if any come last.

Hope!

This came to me while looking out onto the open sea from a ship.
