Glad You're Back 02:56
lyrics
buy track
You've been on your travels To find yourself, to know Deep down inside what makes you live and breathe To understand all that you are Whatever the future may hold Whatever it may bring In all that you say In all you shout, in all that you sing You got to know that I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're home I'm glad you're OK I'll always be around I'll always be holding on I'll always keep on travelling I'll always follow the pathway of the sun Yeah, I'm glad you're back I'm glad your home I'm glad that you're OK

Shadow of Love 03:51
lyrics
buy track
When your fingers Have touched a fire You can remember The pain of burning that it causes When your eyes Have seen beauty You can recall It's peace as you close your eyes When your thoughts Fix themselves on another They tie your hands behind your back And expect you to stop living, stop breathing. When your heart Has felt the force of love Your soul fears the crush That vulnerable love causes. That rents your mind Sabotages your soul Burns your dreams And all around you find only Death and sorrow The shadow of love.... But with you here I can live again Feel free and just start breathing Start aching, start burning In the fire of love I run, run, run, run away From the shadows Out of the darkness I will flee the shadow of love.

The River 04:27
lyrics

Floating Drifting Letting it all go by Finding peace in the stream Allowing my thoughts to dream My body moves on My heart, unattached, reacts As it needs to With sense, calmness Understanding it's own life Or at least Acknowledging it's bondage To the River Only, ever, the River

Heartbreak 04:13
lyrics

Heartbreak There's a hundred thousand things that touch me Some of them heal, some of them burn There's about a hundred thousand things that move me Most of them hurt, most of them turn Me on, me off, turn me upside down and inside out At the end of them all, I'm just left with me On my own, solitary, me So tell me, what things touch you? Tell me, what things make you feel, hurt or heal? Tell me, what things stir you? What things, make you feel real? How many memories can you live through without a tear falling from your eye? How many photographs can you look at without feeling a sense of loss? How many songs do I have to sing, that will heal, make me feel, real and new one more time? Heartbreak A touch of Heartbreak Makes your world ache, makes your soul shake Makes the earth quake Heartbreak

Sweet 03:50
lyrics

Sound around me Sound sweet, smell fresh Like curtain shutting out the night Like a towel drying away the cleansing tears Like a cloak protecting me from evil Like an embrace smothering me with affection I wish for it And I wish for it And I wish it all away. As my ears tingle with the wonder Sweet, sweet sound Sticking in my mouth Swirling in my ears Carry away my moods Wash away my fears And I wish for it And I wish for it And I wish it all away. My ambition My dream My future So close now I could almost hold it Touch it and kiss it So I say now Don't let me down Don't let me down Please don't let me down Don't let me down I devote myself to you Sweet, sweet music

No Cure 04:36
lyrics
buy track
I try to live on I try to ignore I try to falsify and deny But I can't The magic of the carpet ride Is ended And broken Atlantis is wrecked Devastated And I, alone Walk alone amongst the ruins Ruing the destruction Surrounding me Snaring me As smoke billows And I sense the smell of death In my nostrils Like Hiroshima Nagasaki Chernobyl You detonated on me In me Around me And left me, tormented By my dream And my memory. As I stand and survey I know no hope I feel no faith I see no future There is no cure.

Movin' On 03:09
lyrics
buy track
That time has gone now And it ain't ever coming back Those days have flown off There ain't no sense in looking back. This journey of mine has taken me Off the road and onto the mud track Down by the railway line where we used to play It's time to move on - no sense in lookin' back. And I will keep on searchin' I will keep on travellin' Till the moon turns red And the sun turns black. For home is so close now So close to me, it's true And now I'm waitin' Waitin' for you to renew my mind too.

Memories Like Meadows 04:57
lyrics
buy track
Meadows like Memories I'm filled with them Up to the top Brimming over Until they all come out Exploding in a frantic melee Of colours Sounds Pictures Words Days gone past And yet to come Unhindered by the fetters Of time And the slow suicide Of agonising guilt Now that I've found you Queen of my world Running across fields Jumping into rivers Hitting balls into hedges Watching the moon come up And the sun go down Buses, taxis Cycles, cars Journeys, distance Separation, redemption Newness, revelation And I wait here in my meadows For you to come and share The days and nights of my life The highs and lows of my colour All that I am. Setting fire Breaking wood Throwing stones Chasing girls Climbing trees Playing music Drinking young making calls Taking falls Filling halls Kicking balls A front row in the stalls All make me All break me But now I've found you Someone to share it with And remember with And care with And love.

Can You Hear It? 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Can You Hear It? Can you hear it now? Can you hear it now? Can you hear the song Playing on the radio? Singing songs of peace Singing songs of love Singing songs of faith Music fills the skies above. Just hold out your hand You'll feel the wind breath on you Just listen with your heart It will change all you are and all you do Open up your heart Open up your soul Open up your mind Be changed, be whole. Can you hear it now? Can you hear it now? Can you hear the song Playing on the radio Of your soul? Of your soul?

about

This LP was first recorded on a very simplistic set of digital devices.

Each of the tracks was recorded using two microphones set up for vocal and guitar. These were fed into a series of recorders and then to minidisc. The mastering was between a small mix console and a CD copier. It took hours, but was great fun.

With the advent of computers delivering a serious improvement kick to recording I was able to remaster the initial stems into more rounded and expanded forms. These are what you have here.

I wanted to keep the release to 'guitar and voice' as that was how it was originally intended to be. However it is not beyond thought that some of these songs would benefit from overdubs. Or, more precisely, re-recording using up to date processes that would allow their ideas and forms to expand into different aural experiences.

The lyrics will be available as a PDF document that can be obtained by request.

If you like what you hear then get in touch and let me know, I am always willing to receive contact!
