Lyrics:

Almost broke, felt left for dead
As the smoke went to my head
Once upon a time it soothed my mind
As a stone I wouldn't speak
Leave me alone, I'm all to weak
I thought I left these troubled days far behind

Yet so subtle was the reappearance
Of the demon I once shook of my tail
I went mental by this interferance
And then it spoke to me from beyond the veil

Now I'm captain of the ship
Do your part or feel the whip
Welcome back, now you're mine, my good old friend
It expected to be serviced
And my old ways re-surfaced
To be partners in crime until the end

Most reluctant did I slowly follow
Down the path I swore never to walk
The place where my soul lived felt hollow
And my tongue went to twisted to talk

As my days were getting darker
Tormented by my stalker
Came a longing to be pure once again
Causing nothing but anguish
My demon I must vanquish
Force the wicked beast back to it's den

I refuse to be enslaved any longer
To these patterns I know all to well
And the purity will always be stronger
Just as crude little demons will always raise hell....
      
Leave me be, you little tic
I will be free, you make me sick
Know that I...
ain't got no sugar for you

William Read is a half English, half Swedish singer/songwriter that was born 1987 in the mid-west coastal countryside
region of Sweden.
Has been playing guitar and writing songs since 2001. Trained to be a carpenter and proceeded to work in the construction
business to support and fund his more important and significant passion towards music.  

William started playing music seriously in Januari 2009 when he founded the progressive reggae band 
"Rub-A-Dub Rebellion" together with work colleague and bassplayer Patrik Anderzon. 
The band never performed or rehearsed any covers and finally established a decent fanbase and a semi-professional
reputation in the home region of the Swedish westcoast.
The debut album recording was aborted due to the uninevitable split of the band during the summer/autumn of 2010.

After the split, William quit his job, left his flat and sold or gave away most of his possessions to travel Europe
living out of a backpack and supporting himself by the means of playing music in the streets sometimes singing as much 
as 10 hours in a day and in weather conditions as band as -20C degrees, but also from time to time taking on a few 
self-managed building projects for people he encountered along the journey as a relatively homeless street performer.
Was living in London during the end of 2011 and most of 2012, but spent the larger part of the past two years on the road.

Spent the last 3 months of 2012 traveling around France and Belgium, mainly being based in Paris.
Started a band project called "William Read & The Parisian Ladykillers" and performed some gigs in Paris and Montpellier
together with this constillation.
The first demo recording and production was done in Paris during November and December of 2012 in 
"Philou's Pocket Productions" studio, which is a preview of the upcoming debut album that is currently being
produced, spring 2013.

His musical influences has varied from reggae(mainly Bob Marley and various Trojan roots artists), 
"Rage against the machine", Delta blues, Jazz, Bob Dylan + other songwriters from the '70ies era
to great authors like George Orwell and Noam Chomsky, who on the other hand doesn't have the slightest thing to do
with music.

His music is written with an intent to spread a message promoting free thinking and awareness, in opposition to ignorance 
and predjudice and as an experiment of what one can do to compose progressive music with as little theft and borrowing 
from other artists as possible.
It has been described by others as Folk, Rock & Alternative, whilst William himself does not wish to limit his music 
to any genre or description other than being a songwriter ready to explore most music for future fusions and creations.
