A tribute to a good friend that passed away.

For Macie

Another track that started life on acoustic guitar which was eventually removed. I think Billy Corgan and Trent Reznor might be to blame for inspiring the overall vibe. I've got a lot of time for those two.

Crystallized

Another track written with my good friend Richie. This one started with a beat and it all followed from there. Just add rave crowd and speakers and we are off to the races.

Dark Red Horizon

I'm nor sure where this one came from but you can always blame J.G Ballard and a spot of Hawkwind for good measure.

The 7:20

Wrote this one in the middle of lockdown thinking about all the festivals I'd been to in the past, and if we'd ever get them back. Nice to see it coming back now.

Big love to Richard Golddigger who helped me out with the production. He does some cracking tunes here:: https://soundcloud.com/richard-rgd

Would love to give this a blast some day. 5am vibes.

When the weight of this world is too much
When the voices are getting you down
I will always be here for you
I will come around.
I know how hard it can be
Can't see the wood for the trees
I could say a thousand things
but these are the words you'll say to me.

Take it away from me
There's nothing more we can do
It's the beating of my heart
only reminds me of you
Take it away from me
There's nothing more we can do
I am all alone in the dark.

You're an ever unfolding mystery
an endless chain of possibilities
I bet you don't listen to anyone except yourself
and so you'll say.

Take it away from me
There's nothing more we can do
It's the beating of my heart
only reminds me of you
Take it away from me
There's nothing more we can do
I am all alone in the dark.

And your head is a mess
and everything is upside down
stop listening to yourself
and everything will turn out fine.

Take it away from me
There's nothing more we can do
It's the beating of my heart
only reminds me of you
Take it away from me
There's nothing more we can do
I am all alone in the dark.

Alone in the Dark

When they call your name will you scream out loud
'I was waiting for the fires to burn' ?
When they push your back up against the wall
Well, you don't have to be afraid.
Fear is an ocean tide
An eternal eclipse of the mind

Hey You, Waiting for the World to Break?
Are we reaching the end of the line?
Stop making the same mistakes
time after time.

I bet you think you left them all behind
But they're coming after you
All the lies you told yourself
And all the times you sold yourself
You will be the first in line
Everything that you feel a thought crime.

Keep moving, keep keep moving
Whatever they throw at you
there ain't no more time
what are you gonna do now?
Keep moving, keep keep moving
Take a look around, there ain't no body else.

Tick tock on the clock...

Waiting for the World to Break

Back to Basics

I’ve been down too long
Down the dead end streets 
Waiting in the shadows where the light never meets, yeah
All the cries have led me
To a room without a key
I’m living in that city where nobody wants to be.

Who am I to complain?
You took the best out of me, now
Looking for revenge
Seems so cruel and yet divine to me
I’ve been waiting for you
For so long it’s not true
you're giving me the hope and dreams 
I thought were so impossible

I would bury the world for you
I would drop the bombs for you
I would pull that pin for you
You’re the war that can pull me through
I am not afraid of you
Empires burn for you
You’re the war that can make me true
Just one kiss and I'm brand new.

Did I speak the truth?
Or did I speak too soon?
The sun is coming up but it never enters our room
You’re the dirty secret
The words beneath the skin
You say you want peace
But I can see you grinning.

Who am I to complain?
You took the best out of me, now
You feel so good,
like a god running though my veins 
I’ve been waiting for you
For so long it’s not true
I guess I couldn't get my fix 
on 24/7 breaking news.

I would bury the world for you
I would drop the bombs for you
I would pull that pin for you
You’re the war that can pull me through
I am not afraid of you
Empires burn for you
You’re the war that can make me new
Just one kiss and I'm brand new.
I would bury the world for you
I would drop the bombs for you
I would pull that pin for you
You’re the war that can pull me through
I am not afraid of you
Empires burn for you
You’re the love that can make me true
Just one kiss and I'm brand new
I would bury the world for you
I would drop the bomb for you
I would pull that pin for you
You’re the war that can pull me through
I am not afraid of you
Democracy will burn for you
you mix up the red and the blue
just one kiss and I'm brand new.

I remember when
The feeling was so strong
Every time you moved
I had to follow

And now I stand
Waiting for the angels to take command
Of the world in my hands
Crying no more war

no more war
no more war
no more war
no more war
no more war
no more war
no more war

No More War
