beautiful mess

spectrum (say my name)

i put you on top

Crazy but she’s mine

This debut track is about loyalty. The progressive piano & sultry saxophone heard throughout, guide you through a story, describing the modern-day accessibility to romantic temptation. 'Dessert's' climax is a messy and strong-bodied conclusion to which listeners may relate if they have been in the protagonist's shoes. This track highlights the importance of monogamy, and the fragility of trust, in any relationship. 

Written in 2019, around the peak time of online dating in my social circle, 'Dessert' should evoke a complex cocktail of human feelings and emotions promoting self determination and choice. Similar to those found by my friends during this period.

We wanted to be faithful to the natural talent of the musicians as much as possible during the recording of this song so that it could be replicated live. The piano, saxophone, guitar & bass were recorded in the studio live creating this upbeat & stompy composition.

Lyrics:

Oh for once, I wish
I was someone's dessert
That is picked off a list
Cos it's truly the one you desire
No need to, keep the menu
Cos you've made your choice
What would your mother say?
Can she hear your voice?
She says, just take one
I didn't raise you to be greedy
Your father kept me
and we met in the '70s 

Oh well, I know, 
You've got someone else on your mind
You're having 
Unholy thoughts about someone
You choose to deny
You say
Just hold your horses
It's a great misunderstanding
But you planned this from the start
So you'd hit the ground running
So you'd hit the ground running

And well they say
They say that men can change
Oh well, I'm drawing the line
When they say it comes with age
And you say
It's unbelievable, 
how you do not believe this boy
I tried to be good but 
You misunderstood
I have needs
(Pfft)
They must come before me

Oh for once, I wish
I was someone's dessert
That is picked off a list
Cos it's truly the one you desire
No need to, keep the menu
Cos you've made your choice
What would your mother say?
Can she hear your voice?
She says, just take one
I didn't raise you to be greedy
Your father kept me
and we met in the '70s 

-Instrumental-

Oh for once, I wish
I was someone's dessert
That is picked off a list
Cos it's truly the one you desire
No need to, keep the menu
Cos you've made your choice
What would your Mumma say?
Can she hear your voice?
She says, just take one
I didn't raise you to be greedy
Your father kept me
and we met in the '70s
