about

INDIE MELODIC
For me the most important song on this album. I wrote it at the end of travels in june 2017 . I thought i was writing about my travels and then i realised i was writing about everyone. All the people we revere in our very small western world , be they actors, musicians, tv stars. Do we really know them? We find ourselves loving them for their art which is fine, but who were they as people? We can only ever find that out by having a one on one with them. That goes for everyone of us.We see people on Facebook apparently having the best life ever. But do we really know how they are feeling? OF course not. So this is always a reason to live your own life and not be dragged into a life that isn't yours, or jealous of one you don't have , or even annoyed at your own. It is what it is but only you have the choice to change that.
Living in my old community i assumed that was it. I never thought i would meet people who would make my heart sing, or who would open my eyes to something different and beautiful.
The funny thing is when you get back from travelling , you realise, despite all the beautiful hearts and souls who have made you come to that realisation, that all of that is within you.
You don't have to travel to the four corners of the world to find it. You just need to be prepared to stop and look at yourself and see what you can bring to others around you wherever you are.
It may be the smallest of things, but to someone, it will mean the most. It could be a thank you. it could not fearing what others think and telling someone how beautiful they are inside. Either way this can be done anywhere and despite all of these distractions we have in our lives, and it is getting harder with more and more social media, we can always step back and look upon ourselves for that, because often nobody else will tell you, until you realise it within yourself.

lyrics

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
