You hear on the streets The sounds of silence pumping as we meet The kids have gone away Technology has taken them astray A 2D screen Addictive fun no meaning But theres more to say Well its no surprise We don’t know life Help us see a way back to a time When we laughed Face to face You eton cronies don’t have any grasp Of human life A modern life of teenage years More competition likes and emoj in your ears Knobs and toffs want luxuries Whilst a million more are trapped in poverty Do we need a war for us all to see That a care for others well being Is society Well its no surprise We don’t know life Help us see a way back to a time When we laughed Face to face The eton cronies must hear us shout Listen to history You can change it individually Lets help the young to look inside And trust the feelings they find They know more than we give them credit for Well its no surprise We don’t know life Help us see a way back to a time When we laughed We never masked Our own true path is there For all to see eee So hear them scream Then we can see what we need To be free

Teenage eyes 03:29
You’re older than you want to be Fall away from the jealous sky Mundane times we’re stuck you see Trying hard in fear to tow the line What if you took the other route instead Well who knows Maybe if you walked away The shadow of your day will grow into light Your child eyes were right Welcome to my world Please take a seat Its never easy expectations all you meet Release the should from everyone you meet Listen inside Stay truthful And follow all your dreams

Hard time love feel the beat You’ve got a soul that’s blue inside Hard time love on repeat The bleeding heart crys in the night Your battle worn into the night Hard time love can you see Im hanging on for dear life Ghost partners fill the scene Theyre filling casms in the mind So sing the blues until daylight I don’t I don’t know Who I want to be I know I know I know You don’t want to be me Hard time love in the street With all the people at your home They won’t stop until they see You conform and kill your soul Well not for me I’ve had it all I know I know I know Confusion here A time a time your time For crisis at your feet So you know You found I find I know that here Open hearts will bleeed

Trust me 04:17
Noticing the whispy clouds at sunset No accident yo’re hear to see that sky Brush strokes of perfection drifting over Picasso’s there tonight but gone tomorrow Feel the celebration all around me Gamils rejoice in beiung home Sitting in isolation all around me Carry on, sit alone, in your bones Misisng human touch is all ok The energy of life taken away Find the balance there within the sorrw Dancing through the pain until tomorrow Longing for connected souls I see Doesn’t shift the outcome within me Take it deep inside and like the flower You will sew the seed And it will grow you’ll see You will see the lonliness inside of that child tonight So you can place his soul inside your heart so its alright Look up to the sky to see the magic Then dance on with the storm to calmer seas Touch the hand of god to feel emotion unrepressed you’ll see That the light will shine Here and now with me You know it hard to see But trust me

Did you ever see the day Your house demolished when you went away Did you ever hurt inside Seeing children running anywhere to hide Did you ever feel that shame See that man screaming in pain Did you ever have that in your life Should you ever have that in your sight Why don’t you come and see An ice cold family lying next to me Do they know, what they feel About the hunters bearing down with youthful zeal Did you ever feel the pain Of losing a family name? The jewish pain, its all the same Bring your guns bring your bombs Watch us fight Bring your guns bring your bombs Watch us die Ooo I hear the children say Aren’t we all on earth the same Breathing in and out all day If we choose to divide Human lives with disperate lines Are we back where we were In 1939?? Have you seen what I’ve seen, can’t we dream Of an end

Ocean Moon 03:43
Sometimes i want to explain things to you when the pain of too much talk affects us two sometimes there's a child inside no one around to wipe the tear from his eye So forgive the sense of loss i feel in need unbalanced parts of discovered depths you found in me and though things may change theres a truth we know a learning wheel evolving this previous show You taught me always shed my tears trust in yourself away from fear when we suffer you will see we grow more branches on our tree the wind will carry us through so meet me there in our ocean moon The magic energies collide connects with mystery all our life someday soon i'll breath to ten and feel that balance once again eyes wide shut you'll feel my truth my gratitude a different love to nurture through in our ocean moon

Be a dreamer 03:22
I was a dreamer They wanted winners They scorched my soul with their love They scorched my soul for their love There stood a mountain That was their mountain They made you climb without rope They forced you up until you broke Its not a crim to spill those lines Their ingrained lives passed onto mine That easy life consuming might Escape the plight Stand still and fight For your own life
9.
Open roads 04:05
Why am I not moving Why am I run aground Life has put a tonne of rock On my unsupported sand Why am I intruding On everyone who isn’t there Suffer inside screaming in silence When you know nothing’s there Oh please be here this moment As I fall I cannot see Down a hole with distant voices Who plead hear me In that moment all I see A berlin wall between them and me Throw out that line Then with distance I might find Love can make you bleed But it can make you see This day, feel the wind blow This day, there can be All the roses that still flower In our soul So I’m leaving, we can cry Heart beating, knowing why The world needs us to be honest With ourselves on open roads Don’t suffer alone Those open roads Still can be home

Happy place 03:40
Won't you go back to bed , she told you so Your body begs you so One more day and you'll be alright So you feel that guilt, well let it go Everyone here understands you plight so rest up for the night Oh to walk in frosty fields with you closer to my face is my hidden dream everything you said always fits in the right way You said you got me, you got me here but do you want me don't go pleading for yesterday to come around again I love you said you got me wo, then you will hold me Till we see a time when we can go and touch the soul of freedom in the world and find our happy place Sitting here on a beach am i dreaming so Wake up still feeling it though all that bliss still exists in the mind So we'll sing our song as mohitos flow dance the night away in the wheels of time My being now is fine We can sit and watch the crest of the wave rise up and fall thats reality hold onto my hand as you say those words i need, please You said you got me, you got me here but do you want me don't go pleading for yesterday to come around again I love you said you got me wo, then you will hold me Till we see a time when we can go and touch the soul of the freedom in the world without a care on earth between us both We're in a happy place

Magic star 04:18
You are your own star wiping the false heart Beauty within you so take it far I’ll take you there one day when you stil don’t see the truth that sits in you, that’s your hidden star When there\s something on the inside I’ve been waiting so long to give A life for me to restart Not trikling through the sive Oh connect with it now and live You are your own star wiping the false heart Beauty within you so take it far I’ll take you there one day when you still don’t see the truth that sits in you, that’s your hidden star In the dark forest, there is always light From the fire fly Let yourself fgo far to your magic star What is music in the forest With nobody there to hear Like a car without the fuel So accept this gift I can give Then I can have a life to live You are your own star wiping the false heart Beauty within you, so take it far I’ll take you there one day when you still don’t see the truth that sits in you, that’s your hidden star Get to know yourself then you’ll love yourself Feel the power now That’s your magic star Stood at your crossroads here that inner voice Point the way for you That’s your inner star You are your own star wiping the false heart Beauty within you so take it far I’ll take you there one day when you still don’t see the truth that sits in you, that’s your hidden star In the dark forest There is always light from the fire fly Let yourself go far To your magic star

I see time creep around my shoulder am i much older than i care to recall but yesterday is gone same as today thats wrong i keep on hanging in this life the wheels turn slowly you see still feeling so lost like a bottle in the sea will i find the strength today to release my inner vision someway Cos its alright all the lost and found can come and meet my soul this time no need to run away Cos its not over, all the while the wisdom filters, take it in tonight and go beyond the mind A travellers need not written in a diary so come and try me and i'll tell you it all Cos here today its strong only keep it for so long must keep on striving in this world is it falling apart at the seams we all know where to go cos any road will take you there be the truth and lets sing today no inibitions pure connections one way cos its alright all the lost and found can come and feel your soul inside So come let us play cos nothings over all the time when love uncovers look out for the signs and go beyond the mind then see it in our eyes we're all lost and found

Song for you 04:07
Oh i want to write a song for you noone told me how everyday still seeming blue the sky just laughs aloud i want to write this song for you to tell you things i know everyone still comes and goes but does the world still feel my soul Oh i want to write this song for you to tell you how i know i want to sing this song for those who have to let it go can i write a song so you can hear it as i speak at home feel my thoughts and let them sew all your seeds so you can grow So i new year comes around arouses hopes and fears i;ll make a promise now but break it in two minutes oh tomorrow's just the same as each day of the year so make every week a new one and love your life while your here I left one day you said to me who are you deep inside i said the courage takes me home to where i cannot hide pictures scattered on the walls that noone really knows one day i'll find a way to truth but i don't know for how long no i won't know if i'm wrong cos we don't know what this life should be So i want to write a song for you to tell you to look out for all the days the sky is blue it doen'st matter now every persons heart can shine so trust and feel that love you know rest your soul and let me show you the things i know so we can go back to a place we all call home

What if this is now the end? Have i done the things i should? So will I see an angel as i stand there at the gates in harmony What questions will you leave unanswered was there a purpose within me maybe the point was just to be here for a time to pass lessons unheard for future mes Some will mourn the lack of lineage but thats ok i have seen a different purpose for many so wipe those tears away and smile for me The times of loneliness endure was only due to the unlocked mind so know i've found myself and angel to feel the love behind closed eyes I'll talk to you beyond the grief know that my heart will forever be in everyone that i have ever loved so lucky i have been to have that magic dust received so please smile when you think of me so when we fall into a dream don't know how it seems so real my energy livves on there to fix a broken heart (to be there with your heart) my melodies were meant for you to keep
15.
Dreaming of a world where I can see your face hid against the trace Dreaming of a world where I can feel your touch is it all too much Walking down the street of hurt You capterued my heart right from the start But I know that yesterdays road will carry us far So please keep dreaming of the days that we talked release the thoughts But don’t be feeling that today is all gone that’s wrong The stepping stone into your heart can’t walk that line, your not mine Am I the one who broke your dreams It seems that’s what I do Can I be forgiven please theres more inside than you can see One day on the wings on high I’ll ladn at your feet Progress or retreat Will I find the strength to say the things I wanted to today Or will moments drift on my Don’t be afraid to live your life

about

This album came about through illness and covid isolation. With no energy to produce i found myself alone in my place with nothing but my acoustic and piano and songs started flowing out of me. Usually i would spend days producing (some would say over producing) the songs for future use but with my illness and isolation, i could only muster acoustic versions of songs. Then i realised they were best in their pure form so after 8 or so songs i decided i would do a dedicated stripped back album. Its full or pure honesty, at times desperation, reflective views of the world, love and life and i think is the most naked i have ever been with music and creativity
