Continuing from last weeks post, I’m going to showcase another one of my initial tracks I wrote in my early days, the song ‘Delusional Troll’. I don’t usually like to reveal the true meaning of my lyrics as I prefer the listener to decide their own interpretation but I’m going to make an exception this [...]

NEWFOUND HEROES
Around the age of twelve my Dad used to take me to the seaside town of Torquay every Saturday to go shopping. It was one of those weekends when I came across two very special music related DVD’s at the now deceased Virgin Megastore that changed my life forever: “A Film About Jimi Hendrix” documentary [...]
LIQUID TRUTH
'Pieces of Life' by TheodorWorker 'Liquid Truth' All my bridges burntNo sparkle in the starsNo redness in the sunsetJust the sad song of guitars You have a version of the truth I can’t believeYou’re all wrapped up in lies, I’ve got to leaveYou tell liquid truth from behind those eyesBut you hide it well behind [...]
THE CIRCUS IS COMING TO TOWN
Artwork 'La Belote' by Nini Gollong You saw the light when you lost your soulBlind to the heavens you were on a rollBut suddenly your world went darkThe only thing left, a question mark It happened then as it happens nowThe Crescent Moon fights the Holy CowFace to face a death wish farceThe chances of [...]
AFTER THE STORM
Art by Lucid Dream Photography I’m carrying the burden of your sanityHoping you won’t take it the wrong wayComing in last is better than firstThey say that every loser has their day The beast rests deep inside the forestThe darkest places summon up no fearRays of hope they cannot penetrateA canopy of words no one [...]
DOVE OF PEACE

HUNTING ALONE
Surreal Art by HolgaJen HUNTING ALONE It’s only the endIt’s where you descendWhen you can’t be bothered to speakIt’s a lazy old streetAnd the people you meetAre either just boring or freak 'What made you this way?'That’s all they can sayBut you don't want to hear anymoreYou’re out on your ownTimed out and aloneAnd you’re [...]
WEARING GOLD LEAF
Artwork by Brad Kunkle WEARING GOLD LEAF I played the guitarYou held the gunYou answered the questionsI answered none Some days you played coolCrowds you'd just hateYou smiled in the mirrorThanking good fortune's fate Counting your blessingsWearing gold leafFrom a roof top terraceYou fired your gun; wounded the chief Last time I saw youYou’d swapped [...]
SHADOWS ON THE SEA
In the beginning There’s a village not far from me called Capel-le-Ferne. Its name derives from the phrase ‘Chapel in the Ferns’. Proud locals often call it ‘The Village in the Clouds’. The rest of us call it ‘Capel-Le-Fog’ because it’s high up and every so often you can’t see a single thing there when [...]
DON’T HATE THE PLAYER, HATE THE GAME
A local cemetery I never knew existed DON'T HATE THE PLAYER, HATE THE GAME I liked you so much betterWhen your story was untoldNow you go backward looking forwardBelieving all that glitters is really gold You keep your demons in a suitcaseAn arrow in your heartYou’re crying out for plan BBut the game has yet [...]
