ooo i wish you knew the things back then you now know aren't true the mind can't move so you want them to make it right I bet you hope that no-one else would make an ass of you but they want to how do you make it right? Soft breeze in the garden blows feelings abound inside you cannot show all the clinging that we think we need was never any good for me Strong breeze teaches life untold no-one lets you sit with inner glow all the people say you must achieve they could never know what's good for me to feel free

Sit down draw a pattern keep creating satisfaction now there's a light on but its morning how strange? rearrange Don't believe the lie you've been sold the red pen is not true to your soul so rejoice your mind it not old don't regret or forget The system's centuries old just a factory to produce what we're told i knew when blood's running cold a battle in my head still i regress Struggling with more equations can this be a path for the life, the present, the real me Inspire don't rely on the cold facts re-read Imagination of the young holds the key lifting dead weights off your flowing wings then you'll see life turns a light on for everyone to be free Wake up and see how it's been The league tables ahead of your dreams The child who sees stars in minds eye clipped around the head, and told "you're not there" When the truth is finally told thousand lives of change will unfold Now true meaning of life can be sold No battles in their heads Inner strength comes progress

Its easy to be pleasant when life flows along just like the melody of a sweet sweet song but the man who is worthwhile is the man with a smile when everything ends up paradoxically wrong So get onto your inters, and slide around all night Red flag conditions, blinded by the light just run into the week's end and fly to save your life leave behind the men who would make it great again, or fake it again So you've got to protest, don't you wish you knew less Rockafella Clones Feel the beat in your heart, make another new start, don't forget to brake hard Martin Luther Clones

You hear the world talk outside Drifts around my soul, now I can’t hide Can you hide from this train That’s rolling away Lost in space, am I in teenage years Undiscovered roads of faith How much longer can we wait For gemstones dug in fate That’s what you say Maybe when you say you can find it out Reach out for them they’re with you now You know I know the answer I keep searchin But its here my love don’t you fear my son If it takes 500 years I’ll find that time Out in the breeze your mind will seize Places unknown but voices scream “don’t fear welcome home my dear” Still its unknown like walking over sheet thin ice above a row of knives Why would you want to reach us again Stay warm in your shell with those friends They’re lost in solitude You must step out You must look around And ingest the clear signs when undelivered So let me shout And shake me about And see a fuse that sits inside Oh douse it out making you role on the same old path Cos we’re the few who feel

Don’t try to shoot a hole into me I;m just trying to be myself can’t you see But when the black dog comes around Just stroke it to the ground And it will show What we know People always want you to be there Provide that happiness because you care Those folks there they shoud know Sometimes you need it for yourself Don’t run away See me today Touch me inside And I won’t hide With you this way I sit alone and write a song for you Wen I’m singing I’m not worried what to do Feeling fragile as a bone Appear as tough as stone So talk to me Then you;ll see Yeah talk to me now you can see A thousand thoughts can be daggers into me But through athousand thoughts one day you will see Is this love for everyone Or is there some for me Can I open to see Its meant to be One more week drags on another year There is no choice ubt love the face of fear So be gentla here tonight Hug and hold me tight Then you can be As meant to eb Maybe we’ll see Its meant to be Be there with me

Looking back at past all today showed half a boy innocence gone astray filled with hope inside his heart one more bottle comes the realisation that its gone A life divided upside down spreading joy but wears a frown insecurities laid on the floor I cannot take it anymore In time, you'll say all this and laugh but you won't find peace of mind here that road isn't clear.......... Can you see me? Can you feel me? Can you touch my soul? Can you fell my pain? Its the same again, so feel my shame. Wake up on a bright sunny day wonderful but you're bed won't go away conveyor belt down to the shop cigarettes, papers, chewing gum and then i'm gone, so wrong. Moving feet but run aground a never ending swollen mound of guilt that resides at the store of the mind that has plenty more Its time, to get out of the bath But you don't find peace of mind here Just cry your waterfall tears That road can be clear

Wanderlust 04:57
Follow the path, know the trail was only a matter of time you'll eventually see the sign wasn't you who carved it out distant lies you cannot fake trying hard just to stay awake. Getting only background noise make the problems go away Maybe we want to let them stay not the time we crave about Common ground sets us apart Dwell on the past or finish before we start. We don't which way to go We don't know which way is home So much that we've discussed Consumed by wanderlust We don't which way to go We don't know which way is home This is not we discussed We've all got so much wanderlust. Consumed by wanderlust We only believe when we're conscious Our world is the constant There's no need to stand in view Back up watch the new sunrise With ground breaking symbolic highs Ground breaking symbolic highs We don't which way to go We don't know which way is home So much we've discussed Consumed by wanderlust. We only believe when we're conscious Our world is the constant There's no need to stand in view Back up watch the new sunrise With ground breaking symbolic highs Ground breaking symbolic highs. We don't which way to go We don't know which way is home This is not we discussed consumed by wanderlust.

Travel as high as you can go, relief is not within the snow Travel as far as you can go and see if its just another show Travel inside, bypass the soul, and daily highs will never go Travel along an open road to seek inside the inner know. Is it just fate? we'll never know, relying on that has left him old Pain from that will never go swallow your pills and drift on by you miss the magic of the sky hang on stop stop leave that lot get on your bike and see the spot where you stopped the sign settle down there and wrote your line of rot never decide , even though all your wings would fly away Look, laugh its all a crack looking outside at buncies bath Stop take a look, take note everything sails down all your moats so life is a choice to choose, my god Travel as far as you can go relief is all within Travel along an open road and everything begins drop all your tools and strike out at what's hidden inside

High Peaks 05:07
There’s a world, I want you to see Know you want this Know you won’t want to miss There’s a world, you’ve gotta believe I can’t back down Want to turn you around. I don’t know where we’re going But what you’re doing Means oh so much to me I don’t know where we’re going But what you’re doing Means oh so much to me This is our journey, I want you to see Know you want this Don’t want you to dismiss On this journey, we gotta believe We’ve turned it around Our destination’s been found Now we know where we’re going, what we’re doing Means oh so much to us Now we know where we’re going, what we’re doing Means oh so much to us Don’t quit now, we’ll turn it around

Two steps forward one step back, for me Do you recall the scene untouched ruins glistening in green. Has that satisfied any soul in my life? There is nothing you can do or say the addict hides the pills and also hides what he really wants to say don't cry nothing here has been fortold thats a lie. In the looking glass of hope there is touching eye to eye of everything thats packed and locked away cos i know right then, don't fear the hidden treasures of your yesteryears. So in the looking glass unknown the people who you meet create a symphone inside of hope feel their heart beat and walk along that pain trod road with a smile

Orange Lady 03:53
It's close to closing time and she's here At the chai stall where we meet and settle down here. Buy the round and crack a smile with the orange lady for a while then have another to confirm, what we've learned Verse 2 Roaming cattle, monkeys in the trees Scooters honking rhythms up the street Like Tom Cruise in Cocktail The man mixes, joy prevails sipping chai, wondering why we are here. Verse 3 Sleeping old outside she has fears Rain clouds drift our way She sheds few tears A life of giving for me and you Could we do the same thing to Orange lady, come inside Orange lady, feel her smile Be Orange lady, for a while

Heart of gold capture me Why can’t I see To grab hole and receive Its self doubt the story’s old Where is the point where we meet Without talking but seeing the need Outside lives come to play Do I let it stay this way? Can you see or feel me? Can I go on? don’t shame my soul I stand up here today You’re here inside my way I’m still a child inside Reach out from all you hide Heart of gold, capture me Why can’t I see To grab hole and receive Its self doubt the story’s real

Be brave face the wind with all you might Everything inside gives you a fright Crossing others roads is not that hard Look both ways and there’s nothing in the air That’ll change the way you stop and stare4 Don’t you know that its all on your side You stumble down but you get back up You flick the switch and you’ll never stop See the eyes as they look your way Stop it now and embrace the day Love the things you love for what they are Shout it loud inside you’ll be a star!!!!! If they say that your life is a fine wine Drink it twice and let the outside shine Do the stars converse of bygone times DO the flowers and trees speak out through you? No they don’t they wither with their blues Grab her hand and take her to the moon. Feel the fear and you do it now Your mothers words ring inside you now Take that banging life and show the way Its there for him and she and you one day Love the things you love for what they are Shout it loud and you will be a star Then leaf subsides to leaf So eden sank to grief So dawn goes down to day Nothing gold can stay Can stay!!!!!!!!!! Beardsley and dalglish rushie hits the beat

Travel for your goals for a while it's never for yourself, forced smile reach a stopping point, why stop? cos everything's the same All the legends of the age are strangers to our souls but all the legends of the day have stories yet untold All you people can't find the truth until you find the inner you Travel for your goals for a while it's never for yourself, forced smile reach a stopping point, why stop? cos everything's the same Feel your heart string tugged, don't see everything you feel in me on that rolling wheel. get off its harder than they think So the rolling hills of 'Kesh bring out the nomad's dream The village of Munroe hides treasures still unseen There's no point in you being there until you sit still and be aware Travel on that road and smile Our stories still untold, thats worthwhile What is normality you'll see its fictionality Thanks to all the hearts and minds who keep that world alive for a while Have you ever lived before you die Breathe out Love and give Its all meant to be, all the things that have happened to me

sing my Children sing that is all you need to bring What you sing is what you are We're wise in the ways of a healing song Be wise in the ways,, that's what you are See the children sleep, under stars, themselves to keep Do we think of the have nots Be wise in the ways of what you’ve got We’re wise in the ways of what we are Hear the people cheer At the joy of a new year Is there the joy in lands afar Be wise in the ways of a distant star Be wise in the ways of our distant sons Be wise in the ways, that’s what they are Freezing nights so still and blue Family friends call out to you life and years they come and go Be wise in the ways of those alone we're wise in the ways, don't be alone At this time I hear you say Where’s the joy in all these days Well every week can bring the love Be wise in the ways of a flame filled heart Wise in the ways of what we’ve got We’re wise in the ways of a healing song.

about

I have realised over the years that quite often the easiest way for me to express my feelings is through music. Sometimes this has had a detrimental effect on my life, because it means i have hidden away a great deal in life situations, such as relationships or simply relating to what direction i want in this world.
Our society teaches us all about the maths, science and history of our planet, but not so much about what is really important in life. We create stresses and anxieties (still) in our young people by insisting they must follow a certain career path, or that if they fail then life is over.
It has taken me many years to break free of these boundaries and I am still learning my path which can be as heartbreaking and difficult as it has been joyous and full of discovery.
So on this album i have a selection of songs, some of which i wrote over 2 years ago, but most within the last two years and a few very recently. In the past i would have held some of these back through fear of people seeing the inner me, or fear of this illusion of what "me" is being broken.

However, whether these are musically my best creations or not, I know they all paint of picture of what life is really about for somebody like me and like everybody's life that encompasses joy, despair, heartache, love, loss, anxiety, hope and the most important thing that we are not supposed to talk about, "fear".

I have learned so much through creating this music, travelling, and seeking. Whilst that journey is far from over, I hope this will strike a chord with other people who maybe at time struggle with finding their place in this weird and wonderful world that we live in.

Ultimately it is an album of hope and realisation. Thank you everybody for all your amazing support with this. xx
