Finding me 04:30
Shadows that live on through you The price of being alive Brings unseen truths Do you want it Yeah you’ve got it Darkness in us Is a hidden stream Travel far and wide and come to see Travelling in the mind cannot build dreams Do you want it Well you’ve got it The seeds you plant determine the fruits of the tree We’re finding me Past lives are ingrained they have there say Listen up to that voice all boxed away Do you want it Well you[‘ve got it Cos the seeds you plant determine the fruits of the tree Yeah you’ve got it Yeah you want it Can you grab it And then feel it When I leave you’ll see this wasn’t for me To the moon and stars is where I’ll be Fragile life drop the strife Be yourself cos that is all you’ll ever be Its finding me

I stood off my timeline A stranger’s face was standing there Waves of familiar I look back and hold him with a care Define a growing Bodies reach out to feel anew What is our world showing Walls built so high that nothing grew I’ll wrap my light around us Healing fears Move your soul towards us And then love can mend I walked on a stray path Collective conscience has no end Put a mask on a seal it A pain to bury and extend Then came a new path Unlearning seeping through the veins Delving deep to notice how we’ve all had to hide away So feel the light within me Healing tears Feel my soul inside you Then you’ll find you’ll See me Help me Touch my Inner glow And now I understand We’ll find a place of common ground Those young boys eyes have so much to say So feel that we are one And all our hurt becomes one love And we’ll be strong Yea we’ll be strong We’ll be Strong Can’t be wrong

We have stayed true to our path regardless of the aftermaths… we took every inch, every single step, i don't regret, when looking back We didn't care ´bout enemies, and we knew truth is what truth is… we called stupid things just stupid as they are thought by mind, but way more by heart (Chorus) We`ve stood our ground, when I look around, I can hardly see the likes of you and me… …I just see… puppets of conformity… when I look around, I can hardly see the likes of you and me… We`ve tried to stand up for what`s right, and we did not select the site based on which is “fancy” or what is strong, but which is right and which is wrong And not deterred by some closed doors, when needed, we fought our wars, when we saw injustice ,we just called it out what we thought , we said it out loud (Chorus) We`ve stood our ground, when I look around, I can hardly see the likes of you and me… …I just see… puppets of conformity… when I look around, I can hardly see the likes of you and me…

Filtered paper blurs the frame that is my window You shrink into the wind when you should be flying Heavy is that pink beret from yesterday There’s a fog that clouds my view Pirouetting’s hard to do When you don’t know which way to turn to Hold the now its all that you can do

Redemption 03:37
A long dark path was there to see Where we will always fall Where i would sing sad songs within Till redemption hears my call Then one day whilst on that path Confusion by our side There appeared a road so bright Hidden in plain sight Time to release the fight Now a fate has spoke to me hear voices with no sound beside our locks we'll find the keys where some hearts will go on And still there is a light for us peaking round the door but i would leave this earth for you as our kingdom won't fall can we move through to let it be as darkness falls into the sea wings of a dove they fly so high we're not there yet but we feel sky my fingers of love they touch so deep then hearts may yearn to release those dreams years of hurt break down those walls let me hands catch you when you fall can you catch me if i fall then in time our hearts will be grateful to us all"

Eternal 04:24
I'm coming near you now can you feel me now rising out the dark there comes hope voices that surround when no one's around trying to touch the ground as we float All alone distant tones so far away they call today angels sing loud so feel so proud and you will know we're true Me and you

How many times do you want to be all the things that you already see how many times Do you want to try Oh why let it pass you by Play something new hit the shuffle click repeat listen out for what you need Lay down your soul its much richer now you're old and new chapters will unfold make something of yourself don't wait tomorrow is too late Whats been taught can be unlearned those badges worn can be returned start breathing in and blank it out don't get to thinking of ways round those doubts Play something new hit the shuffle click repeat listen out for what you need Lay down your soul its much richer now you're old and new chapters will unfold make something of yourself don't wait tomorrow is too late Sit on a roof top Introduce your mind Experience needs some innocence to find wake up it is your time Play something new hit the shuffle click repeat listen out for what you need Lay down your soul its much richer now you're old and new chapters will unfold make something of yourself don't wait tomorrow is too late

We are two 05:49
We once grew up beside ourselves did we ever hear the things we want to hear oh child walk tall we once knew when the wind of change did dawn we went our separate ways we're feeling all forlorn why you? you felt it trembling my heart how could we have rescued all the love for us they feel the distance apart was true defensive shield was real its older times i know the deforments solder my dear can you feel the fear we feel effects right now the angry prose inside of us is here disappeared we connect over above ourselves two little things hiding behind the sofa felt oh child you're sore i then knew that there's something else inside how can it be alive its been there all this time why you? you fail at questioning your heart once so close together we had time to make us laugh then life grips ahold of you and nothing comes to pass you know that it is true you've got to find it out for yourself noone else compares the sun stil shines in you draw back the clouds and see we are two we are two

Sunshine 03:10
Sunshine come alive you don't want to get up for a while and you see that your eyes they shine so bright every minute is a bonus in time There's one time that you and me should go outside before the end of the line but you will always be the one running into my life Monday is not that hard try to be the picture on the front of the card then next day, Wednesday and thursday too make it through those days and i will be there with you Week by week the sinners are all on my side there's no where left to hide and you will always be the one running into my life Worried thoughts uncertain minds are in you think it now and it will always be true future times, unhappy thoughts destroy me get rid of them and we'll truly be free Week by week the sinners are all on my side there's no where left to hide and you will always be the one running into my life

When you wake up in the red morning you see A million bikes all riding,nothing on tv but a grey line's drawn by thousands in a square you'll see so do you want to know?? just a worker in a repressive regime not a student screaming "liberty for me" out of bed, white shire and black tie one the cheering crowds there can't be that much wrong Tianamen square, whats going on over there? revolution not quite ringing true somehow Tianamen square, maybe join the party there red sun rising , so come on and greet me now come on and see me now, Tianamen square The break of dawn and nothing is the same battered corpses lie, the blood filled city drains what have the brids seen that this cannot be home no more oh do you want to know? what now can you show? If the leaders can't lose face then let them see him go shopping like a man on Oxford street is the power guns and tanks and all on show no, a single man , his heart is our i know Tianamen square, what happened over there? hope and fears encompassed in a shopping bag Tianamen square, 30 years later red sun setting, do we want to see it now it hasn't changed anyhow the spirits have not died Tianamen square, whats going on over there? revolution not quite ringing true somehow Tianamen square, Fuck it get out of here red sun rising , so come on and greet me now come on and see me now, Tianamen square

Once you take a step Upon the road I’ve left You will see the life I’ve led Then I’ll meet you there With no heavy weight to bear And we’ll see simple truths as a surprise Don’t regret the things you say My eyes are soft with you today All the angst and hurt can fade away Once we see life’s rolling wheel As one to turn continually We’ll find All that hope concealed Alive When a soul has passed The pain within is masked By mankind’s ingenuity So offer hurt a tea And then you’ll finally see The magic in fragility So rejoice in you again Your magic story has no end At the end of rain There’s always sky Nothing in our world we need Is greater than the bond released And love holds that soul beneath the cries

0 hours 26 Chilling in the sofa skimming through Netflix All the hum drum a replay of the day is at the back of my tired mind There's a dull drone in the corner and she's looking all forlorn i know its time to get to bed but its a time i've come to dread Cos I'm sleeping with a B Is it her or is it me that's in a dream? To entertain eternity You've got to face the here and now Push the past back Close the apps and go to sleep. She's tapping on the windows To my soul With velour gloves All her comments brush against me As my brain begins to buzz I cannot be the real me, gently now she's rubbing me away in spite of me I reach for her And the day fades into grey I'm sleeping with a B Is it her or is it me that's in a dream? To entertain eternity You've got to face the here and now Push the past back Close the apps and go to sleep. 4am wake fresh as daisies Blow the cobwebs that have crazy paved the darkest corners of my mind 6 o clock now feeling lazy panda's wheels revolve through hazy visions that you want her in your life turn to chatter but I find that she is sleeping She's a daytime buzzer with a honey tongue black and gold she's not the one But i let her sting me anyway but she stings me anyway

Don’t go changing things I’ve done Watch the victory come as one Just go facing things you’ll see Your lonely worries roll in me Don’t go saying things I’ve said Cos then our fate is sealed instead Just go asking things you’ll see All inside you is in me Someone save them they’ve got so much to give to all that see Lifes a dream Summer yearning whilst winters burning fire creates a scene Your life isn’t over And your not alone So seize the dream and reveal yourself tonight Don’t go hiding from the fun Let your beauty come as one I touch the hair you touch the skin A spark between will reach within When you’re older you stay young This life we live ain\’t there too long Now I’ve found the strength to speak You’re all inside me as I sleep Someone save them they’ve got so much to give to all that see Life’s a dream Summer yearning whilst winters burning fire creates a scene Your life isn’t over And your not alone So seize the dream and reveal yourself tonight Its in our sight Don’t go changing things I’ve done Watch the victory come as one Just go facing things you’ll see Your lonely worries roll in me Don’t go saying things I’ve said Cos then our fate is sealed instead Just go asking things you’ll see All inside you is in me

You might use your hands You might use your voice - You might create poems You might tinker with toys - It won’t so much matter Which things you might do, But what lies beneath Is the essence of you … You might paint on glass Or play ukelele You probably don’t know That you bless others daily - The person you are The world might not see - But I know this much You matter to me … INSTRUMENTAL BREAK The struggles you’ve faced Undeserved at your age - Your friends seek your counsel Your wisdom is sage - May the white light protect you For as long as you live - You’re a beautiful person That’s the gift that you give …

about

The album is titled "Corner of the Cracked Mirror"

If we see the universe as one huge mirror full or minute cracks all over, we realise that firstly we are all connected by the cracks in the mirror but that there will always be people and parts of life that we connect to and are closer too than others, sometimes its rather magical , sometimes its rather painful, but just knowing and feeling that humanity has been through it all before and you'll always find parts of humanity in your corner of the cracked mirror to share the depths of pain and the highs of joy love and life with and by sharing in that life can make perfect sense.

The album is a journey through all the fears, tears, pains, hopes, ecstacy, release , joy and loves in life . I hope it touches your soul in all the variety of ways which music and words can bring to eveybody's everyday life .

Finally , a huge thankyou to the incredible artists who collaborated with me on 5 of the tracks on the album. Their creativity and beauty have made this musical journey possible. So huge love and more to Sarah Lucy McCabe, Arthur Rossi and Kathy Moran for helping me bring all this to life.

Love and connected harmony to you all xxxxxxxx
