Signs 03:25
You stare at empty spotlights The circle never ends Stand and sing your heart out From the chorus line again And it promises perfection But you bruise so easily And it feeds your insecurity Like a river does the sea And you say it takes you closer But I swear it robs you blind You say you didn’t see it coming But you should have seen the signs You wear your insides out again Soon you will forget All the truths you tore in two For your bonfire of regret And It promises protection But it brings you none at all Your hopes are always doomed to rise As your chances start to fall
2.
The Bridge 04:04
Car went over the bridge tonight Disappeared in the fading light Breaking through like the crack of bones Now its here and then it’s gone Don’t go too far Don’t go too fast I will be here when you make it back Car went over the bridge tonight Tail lights fading out of sight Rolling over sinking like a stone Now its here and then it’s gone This could be your last chance So you just can’t sit it out Try to pick your feet up All you do is twist and shout And ripples run away from you All the way back home Now you’re in the moment Now you’re here and then it’s Gone gone gone Down down down again Don’t go too far Don’t go too fast I will be here when you make it back
3.
This side of madness There's a place where you could be And in your sadness Well it's just the place you want to be And when the morning comes You stumble as the angel dances If it's the last thing you should do Don't give up on your chances This side of madness There's a place and you could be there And in your sadness If it's just too much for you to bear And when the morning comes You stumble through the same old dances If it's the last thing you should do Don't give up on your chances This side of madness There a place that you should see And as your sadness fades away You will be standing here And when the morning comes Don’t stumble as the angel dances If it's the last thing you should do Don't give up on your chances You could be there

Setting Sun 03:38
Faith isn’t reason But you want it to be You can paint me by numbers Or kill me by decrees But I can’t forgive you The truth you’re fighting hard not to see Blinds you like the setting sun Falling as the day is done Rips you like a hurricane Tears you into two again It’s taking all the skin and bone And turns it into dust and stone Another day and we’ll be gone From underneath the setting sun Fate isn’t a reason To do as you please Everything Changes If you change anything And all I can give you Is the truth you’re fighting hard not to see Blinds you like the setting sun Falling as the day is done Rips you like a hurricane Tears you into two again It’s taking all the skin and bone And turns it into dust and stone Another day and we’ll be gone From underneath the setting sun

Just A Boy 04:02
Once there was a boy He thought he was a lonely boy Electric heart protects him from the world If you never let it in you can never let it out He was just a boy Then there was a love That grew inside of everything that he was Defective heart beating on one side Then there was another love That grew in spite of everything Collective heart, beating on all sides The rest is silence Your words are wasting in the wind The rest is silence You wait until your dreams begin again He was just a boy He was just a lonely boy
6.
North 04:37
I hold on my dreams It’s harder than it seems I should let them be I’m too stubborn to believe That nothing’s gonna change Weighs heavy on my soul So much more than you could know My head is in my hands I try to understand And I keep on heading up And the lessons I could learn Impatiently I burn I burn it burns When I’m against the wall There’s just one way to fall And I keep on heading up To hold on my dreams Is harder than it used to be I stumble and I fall I’m not perfect after all And I keep on heading up
7.
Mockingbird 03:53
You leave me singing like a mocking bird I tried to tell you this is my world You leave me singing like a mocking bird Tried to tell you You already heard I’ll sing when the morning comes Sing when I want to I’ll sing when the morning comes I’ll sing when I want Oh my my my Mmmm my my my I’ll sing when I want

Breath in the moment Shine until it’s over Tell me I’m chasing ghosts in my head Tell me lies and I’ll believe you But don’t tell me that I wasn’t lonely Lost in a sea of faces and nobody knows me Don’t tell that I am the only one I’m the fish that swallowed the moon and I’ll do it over and over again Feel for the moment Blind until it’s over Send me out in the darkest of nights Send me lies and I’ll believe you But don’t send me back Back to where I came from Lost in a sea of faces, I could have been anyone Don’t tell me Don’t tell me now Lost in a sea of faces, but I got through somehow Don’t tell that I am the only one I’m the fish that swallowed the moon And I’ll do it over and over again
9.
On any other day I wouldn't be talking to myself Seems my head got broken with my heart And everything is changing faster than it ought to be Can't see the end I know this is the start I hope I’m right, I know I’m right I hope I’m right, I know I I could be wrong I guess I might You’ve always been here the longest night I don’t have a god And I wont have you I could be wrong If there was any other way I wouldn’t be here in this place I've reached the end of tearing me apart Unsympathetic strangers and a fear of what could be Can't see the end I know this is the start I could be wrong And never know You’ve always been here to guide me home I don’t have a god And I wont have you I could be wrong
10.
Unfull Son 04:31
To sleep the perfect sleep Like a river wraps around your head And draws you underneath Down here where silence creeps In every conversation and its drowning, out its drowning out Unfull son what have you done Crawled into the ashes disappointed everyone Hopes so high faces to the sky You can’t return you crashed and burned You have to wonder why I feel I never sleep I just stare in empty spaces where the darkness used to be I hear the silence creep I’m not the same am I to blame And deeper in too deep Nothing lasts forever and that’s all you get to keep And fear and silence creep I’m not the same am I to blame Unfull son what have you done Crawled into the ashes disappointed everyone Hopes so high faces to the sky You can’t return you crashed and burned And now they wonder why My unfull son what have you done I’m not the same Am I to blame My unfull son what have you done You’re not the same You’re not I to blame my unfull son
11.
I stand here on the outer limits You see me from so far away Like a promise I had to deliver I did everything in my own way If it’s true that we all get a visit And just fifteen short moments of fame Well it must have come true When I was out of the room I wouldn’t change I’m just the same man you never knew I’ve got love on my left side The stars at my right I’ve got family and friends at the door And though it would have been nice Now I’d have to think twice I wouldn’t change I’m just the same man you never knew I wouldn’t change I’m just the happy man you never knew

about

I’ve spent a few years creating and recording the songs for my new album: the fish that swallowed the moon. Released on the 12th October 2018.

It’s a strange thing to create something so personal, to invest so much of myself into these eleven songs, and then put them out into the public domain. But that’s the nature of the beast.

It’s a solo piece of work. This time however, I called in the professionals to mix and master it. Between them, Brian Reeves and Pete Maher have an amazing body of work. Brian did a great job mixing, giving everything a place, and space to be heard. And Pete’s mastering renders the songs in a warm, quality soundscape.
