There's a girl in a room And she's growing old too soon There's a voice in her head But the words are left unsaid Getting up falling down In a sleepy one horse town For a love that's been a dream so long To be standing by her side She could wait all her life What ever it takes she'll sacrifice Every beat of her heart To be with the one and never part To be with the one and never part

Inside my love Got no reason to be fearful of The gifts I bring They won’t hurt you they won’t make you sting There may be tears But the moments will be few Outnumbered by the years of peace And joy Because you are just a girl and I am just a boy I know it’s only love But it may save your life one day Save your life one day It’s only love But it may save your life one day Save your life one day Time passes by And we don’t always see In the blinking of an eye That butterfly Has opened up his wings and is headed for the sky It’s only love But it may save your life one day Save your life one day It’s only love But it may save your life one day Save your life one day Inside my love Got no reason to be fearful of The gifts I bring They won’t hurt you they won’t make you sting There may be tears But the moments will be few Outnumbered by the years of peace And joy Because you are just a girl and I am just a boy I know it’s only love But it may save your life one day Save your life one day It’s only love But it may save your life one day Save your life one day I know it’s only love But it may save your life one day Save your life one day

Oh Mary 04:05
Oh Mary Oh Mary Though our love was strong Mary I’m moving on Can you see Why I feel this way You won’t ask me to stay Mary I’ll take you with me Wherever I go And Mary you’ll always be Guiding me I know You will be waiting You will be waiting Burn me a candle watch it glow Oh Mary Though our love was strong Mary I’m moving on Can you see Why I feel this way You won’t ask me to stay I see where the heavens touch the sky A look to remind me And wonder if god could tell me why It’s all behind me But you will be near me To curse and to cheer me Always to hear me when I cry Oh Mary Though our love was strong Mary I’m moving on Can you see Why I feel this way You won’t ask me to stay Mary I’ll take you with me Wherever I go And Mary you’ll always be Guiding me I know You will be waiting You will be waiting Burn me a candle watch it glow

Birdman 03:02
Ice weighs heavy on my wings tonight Cold wind blows into my face And if I could leave On a summer breeze I would surely leave this place I would surely leave this place All the autumn days have come and gone Shadows lengthen on the wall And the mate with I To the sun would fly Can no longer hear my call Can no longer hear my call I should have left in August or September But I'm still here now deep into December And if the song I sing Fades and dies within frozen on the air When she returns In spring will she remember All the autumn days have come and gone Shadows lengthen on the wall And the mate with I To the sun would fly Can no longer hear my call Can no longer hear my call

Love Light 03:15
Sleep now your prayers are done They have not been answered You're not the only one God is only human Don't wait around for him To wash away your sin Light up a torch and run Torches can build a sun. There's a love light You can take it anywhere And make hope out of despair All you do is share In a wasteland Where the broken people go Only seed they ever sew Has no freedom to grow

Healing Scars Will you sit down next to me On my doorstep made for two There’s no moon up in the sky Got no view to share with you But if you take a little time It doesn’t matter where you are If you sink into the groove Feel that rhythm healing scars Oh let it take you to the stars We can talk about your day Let me know what’s on your mind Though it may take an hour or two But if it helps you to unwind There’s no place I would rather be Kick off your shoes and drift away Don’t try to read so much into Why I would be this way with you I’m just a way to get you through Only human designed to fail A string of imperfections tied up in DNA When you laugh when you cry Maybe you won’t even know why A chemical reaction emotion getting you high Don’t need a reason to celebrate Get busy living or die Come on try Will you sit down next to me On my doorstep made for two There’s no moon up in the sky Got no view to share with you But if you take a little time It doesn’t matter where you are If you sink into the groove Feel that rhythm healing scars Oh let it take you to the stars

I had a job in a factory Woke up one day had an epiphany So this is all I am and will ever be Carrying all my possessions I travel up into the mountains alone No direction my mind would turn to home What am I doing out here I could be sat with a pizza and beer Safe in a bubble with all that I hold dear Now I’m living in fear Maybe I made a mistake Thinking that I had a journey to make Not an original only a fake Under pressure I break Planning a showdown with the demons in my head The biggest part of me now wishing I was dead A few words were said I cling on to life by a thread Monalea Celeste I found you In a black and white lie you were yellow green and blue Monalea Celeste I found you In a wilderness I had a vision it came true I don’t know what she saw in me She took me in and she fed me so I Felt obliged to say maybe I could stay She found me work in the gardens I gathered the fruits of the harvest then snow Many nights were shared in the fire glow Talking the hours away Drinking her wine it was all vin-de-paye She gave a present to me on Christmas day Round my neck it would stay Soon after winter had gone I bought a ticket it was a return We lit a candle and showed no concern The candle would burn Monalea Celeste I found you In a black and white lie you were yellow green and blue Monalea Celeste I found you In a wilderness I had a vision it came true Now when Daydreaming I pen Messages to her So glad I knew her Raise a glass to her Monalea Celeste I found you In a black and white lie you were yellow green and blue Monalea Celeste I found you In a wilderness I had a vision it came true Monalea Celeste I found you In a black and white lie you were yellow green and blue Monalea Celeste I found you In a wilderness I had a vision it came true

about

“Now & Then” is an album of songs featuring acoustic guitar ensembles, and haunting lyrics, with a sprinkling of electric guitar, cello, harp, harmonica, bass, keyboards and synth, plus the odd drum here and there. I like to paint mental pictures with my songs around themes of love, friendship and life. Each one tells it’s own little story and takes you on an emotional journey, both lyrically and musically. I get my songs into your head, where they will set up camp and lay down roots. Over time you will get to know them, and hopefully, think of them as friends.
I find it quite difficult to describe myself as an artist, and the music I create. Although I tinker with other instruments, I feel most at home playing acoustic or electric guitar, I’ve been playing on and off since I was six years old, so I guess it’s a big part of who I am now. The idea for a song can start with a few words, or a guitar riff. I spend many hours recording basic ideas that sound interesting, then overdubbing other guitar parts, until I hear something that sounds right. If I get Goosebumps, it’s usually a good sign. If you, the listener, play the finished song and get Goosebumps, then I guess I’ve done a good job.
I enjoy the process of creating arrangements for guitar, often a three or four part ensemble with other instruments thrown into the mix to add a little extra colour, and variety. I try to make my songs interesting, but not too complicated. I want people to go away humming the tunes I have created, I love it when people say “I can’t get that song out of my head”. I recommend you stop reading and start listening now, so that you can make up your own mind. Find out more on our website.
