Standing here I’m wondering if it is too lateAre my feet firmly on the groundI’ve often dreamt that I would make my escapeLive a different life than it is now You know that I would love for us to get awayTo find a path that will not wear us downCan I ask of you, do you still have faithAnd do we have the means to make it out Cause it’s bringing me down, living this wayWe gotta get out before…

Trusting someone not to break your heart takes time. When you are alone, yes, you are lonely but time is your own, although the value of that time with no one to share it is a different matter. I know heartbreak as many people do, time heals a little and sometimes you feel that it is not worth it, but I have now been married for over 30 years and that doesn’t happen unless what you have is worth…

I find the summer far to short in England, people often complain about it being too cold or too wet and not seeing any real summer. This is likely why we all like to leave the country for our vacations. In the UK we call them holidays. The song is more based on movies I have watched rather than real life, as the North Sea is a bit chilly even in summer, but there is nothing like feeling a cool…

Most of the songs that I release are although new recordings are songs that I wrote many years ago and have never been released. I love those songs and put a lot of energy into recording and releasing. I don’t focus on writing new songs as I have literally hundreds of songs yet to be released, but last weekend a new song came to me out of a dream and I had to record it, I was surprised that my…

I wrote this song when I was 21, so many things have changed in this time, especially the recording approach. The original was synth heavy very much in the style of Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight" and I love that version but this version takes the song

The original was synth heavy very much in the style of Phil Collins “In The Air Tonight” and I love that version but this version takes the song back to the acoustic guitar, with a little bit of slide and lead courtesy of my friend Mark Shipton. I hope that you give it a listen and more…

New song or old, lol new release

Sometimes the world just gets you down, you look outside and world looks as miserable as you feel, but the rain clouds won’t stay and if you are with someone special they can make all the difference. Love to me means no matter what life throws at you at least you have someone who cares and loves you for who you are. This song is how I feel, and I think that most of us feel if we are with the…

Life is tough and we must make choices, sometimes those choices are for love and sometimes not. What are we but slaves to the machine? What was the line in that song that Sting sung? If you love someone set them free. We stay put often because of the feelings of other people and our dreams stay dreams and we live the lie. Prisoners of guilt and shackled by the chains of love. We have such short…

Sometimes it is so difficult to find two minutes to yourself. I remember the silence of Sundays, the shops were closed, virtualy everyone was off work, the pubs and shops had restricted opening hours. No computers, next to nothing on the TV, I used to be so bored; now like everyone else I have become an information junky, even when I am watching a movie I am on my phone trying to find out the…

I wrote this song when I was single and never knowing if I would find a woman to love. A bit of bravado, but that goes with the territory. The single has been released in all the usual locations, Friday night, nowhere else to go but homeA single room, which doesn’t even have a viewWhere am I going, my life it seems to gone so wrongThe days are going, and nothing seems to turn me onExcept the…

This is one of my favourite driving songs, especially when I am driving home or where I feel my home is. The YouTube video features many of the roads that we have travelled in Scotland, a place that other than New Zealand, is a place that I feel very at home in. A long, long drive through the nightI’m feeling tired but I keep on goingMy left and right, I’m following the lightI’m coming home to…

To be in a relationship for just not wishing to move on, is understandable but foolish. If the flame of love dies and all you have is the embers then life becomes very cold. This is my first release of 2024, but the song was written back in January 1983. It still is a favourite of mine even after all these years, and I am happy with the recording. I hope that you like it too. Here is a preview…

New single released with a little bit of an Irish twist
