THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG
This song speaks about the positivity in depression, seeing the other side of life & not allowing one self to be trapped by a certain mind state, assumptions fall away & clarity takes place.
Although often hard to achieve there is always another way, as soon as we recognise that light is always there, it is just sometimes temporarily hidden, then life can get a whole lot more manageable.
As day turns to night & night turns to day, we are not the ones who do the turning…so we just have to let go & trust & know that the turning continues outside of ourselves.
In this state a deep peace can enter our life’s as fear & anxiety melts away.
The grace of light is a friend to call upon when we remember the friend is always there.

LYRICS:
Clouds Hide Light
Sunlight my medication,
Crazy love got now medication.
A cappuccino on a winters day,
Kick start my heart for another round.
Ch
When your feeling low,
And all alone.
Clouds hide light,
There is a grace most high.
All fear gone,
Got your whole life ahead.
Your made in the light,
Beautiful & bright,
Clouds hide light!
That which is assumed is not,
And that which is…is not assumed.
Trying to make sense of a senseless time,
Bless the world,
May we grow in new ways better days.
The kingdom of heaven is found within…
The story behind the song
No good within if we can’t live it out…
Live it out!
Ch
When your feeling low,
And all alone.
Clouds hide light,
There is a grace most high.
All fear gone,
Got your whole life ahead.
Your made in the light,
Beautiful & bright,
Clouds hide light!
‘A BETTER DAY’
The brand new single by ‘Love Hope Clarity’ out now!
Music for a better day…
A bouncy funky pop groove with personal positive reflections to help lift your spirit!
REFLECTIONS ON A BETTER DAY!
Well it’s a simple philosophy, where ever we are in life we can all do our best to help create a better day.
Having gone through a lot of personal depression in life this song draws from personal experience. Sometimes each day can feel like an uphill struggle…but that doesn’t mean it’s an excuse to stop trying!
Sometimes you really don’t know what’s inside of you until you really start digging. It’s easy to throw up all kinds of excuses, as the lyric says: ‘Treasures of the soul…like pure gold!’ When you realise what’s inside of you, what you have been blessed with…then everything can change in that moment…but a personal decision has to be made: ‘Walking in the light for a better day!’
So don’t let anyone keep you down, move forwards & help to create a better day…your relevance is just as important as the next.
God bless.

LYRICS
I’ve been down this road for to long,
And I’ve surfed the tears in my eyes.
I won’t go to that place again,
I’ll go to the place of a better day!
–
A better day,
Come to me,
A brighter way!
–
Sold my time machine,
Left it in the past.
Tears washed away,
Now how beautiful…life.
Treasures of the soul like pure gold!
Walking in the light,
For a better day!
–
A better day,
Come to me,
A brighter way!

‘ACCEPTING ME’
The brand new single by ‘Love Hope Clarity’ out now.
ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about accepting a higher love in your life…
This may mean many things to many different people. When we open ourselves up to this acceptance we may experience unexpected changes, but when we let the love do the moving then life is a little more reflective, a little more less lonely & a little more making sense….such are the seasons of life.
Dedicated to all those who walk their own path & said a prayer or two.

Life is hard with no job,
my job…lover of hearts.
Keeper of the gate high above,
bless me a brand new start.

Life is strange all alone,
I know I’m not alone.
I look to the sea & I breathe,
feel your grace…touching me.
Accepting me
Accepting me.
Where I go I don’t know,
I don’t care …your with me.
I tell you my fears you don’t laugh,
Your love accepting me.
Accepting me
Accepting me.
Your love accepting me,
Your love accepting me!

ABOUT THE SONG:
This song in many ways is an honest reflection of our times & takes in different aspects of control, political manipulation, freedom & even spy culture!
Trust in society is at an all time low, but what do we do? Do we stay in fear mentality or do we grow?
It should also be looked at in a wider context, in fact looking at how the world has changed through out history both social & political can reveal many interesting observation’s. What ones can you think of?
Reflections of how life could be embraced in love if we only awaken to these aspects of our history that we have been ruled by can be be very powerful.
How we find our selfs within this frame work today is even more interesting especially when we look at the progress of humanities view on consciousness, soul development & what makes up the contents of our life’s. Different times of our history reveals much, where we are today reveals even more when we look with unbiased eyes.
So this song is really a positive invitation to look at our lives, how we awaken to our potential & where do we go if we really embrace these qualities?
We are love, we are hope, clarity, we are free!
Brought to you with love.

LYRICS
WE ARE HOPE
When the world got you beaten black & blue
And even your own neighbours are spying on you.
Political manipulation,
Control justification.
–
Remove the veil that covers are eyes,
We see through all the lies!
–
Could it be we are greater than we are told,
Could it be they don’t really want you to know.
Bought into the lies,
Get out reclaim your life.
Presence of a brain
Come out lover of hearts
–
Don’t except fear manipulation,
Designed justification
–
Remove the veil that covers are eyes,
We see through all the lies!
–
We are love
We are hope
Clarity
We are free
–
We see through all the lies!
When the spark of life sparks you right
They’ll be no fight just love for life!
–
We are love
We are hope
Clarity
We are free

STAY…THERE IS HOPE
This is a song to uplift your soul & to keep you moving forwards with a dance funk groove & rocking whilst tackling a difficult subject matter.
It was about a year ago when a friend of mine said “Have you heard of a book called ‘Stay’? Its about suicide prevention” I said that I never heard of it, but coming from my friend who is a nurse in a Hospital with a lot of insight he caught my attention & that one word captivated me ‘STAY’. At that point I thought what an amazing positive title for such a difficult subject matter & I just knew there was a song waiting to be written & thats exactly how this song was born!

BY YOUR GRACE
When we look at the word grace many thoughts may come to mind.
Just as when we look also at the concept of ‘grace’ even more thoughts may arise.
It is good to take some time in reflection & meditation to ask the question ‘What is grace?’
‘What does it mean to me?’ ‘Have I had an experience of grace in my life that stands out?’
more so ‘Can I think of a time of grace moving in my life that I did not realise was grace?’
This song ‘By Your Grace’ can help you move deeper into an open space of reflection…Light a candle,
put your head phones on & write down the word grace on a piece of paper & place it in front of you. Meditate on the word as the sounds move through you & at the end try writing down your thoughts & maybe some answers to the questions above may come to you.
BY YOUR GRACE OFFICIAL VIDEO:
LYRICS
Verse:
Hearts are aching,
Walls are breaking,
I call your name.
By your grace,
By your grace.
Your radiance,
Shines through my fears inside.
By your grace,
By your grace.
Heal my heart new,
Clense my mind pure.
Drown me in love.
By your grace,
By your grace.
Guide me to reality,
Of Eternal Truth!
By your grace,
By your grace.
Chorus:
And hearts beat as one,
Your love will be done,
Please heal me through your light,
Awake in bliss divine.

CALL OF A SUFI
Although I am not a Sufi this track came out of a time that I was exploring different world chants & the Sufi tradition.
There is so much beautiful wisdom to be explored within the Sufi tradition & its philosophy & poetry is very beautiful, simple & soulful as well as expansive & mystical which helped me to explore new areas of thought. It also helps me to understand people from a different religion & world view different to mine & move into a space of love & acceptance. I often say that ‘if I can’t sit down & drink tea with somebody from a different walk of life or religion then can I really call myself a human being?’. The more we can learn about our brothers & sister without a hidden agenda & the need to persuade them to our way of thinking the more we can play our part in helping to spread peace on earth.

In many ways my old band ‘Maudib’ with singer Phillip Lee was the origins for ‘The Soul Release Project’. We were certainly free flowing & expressed our self’s in a very different light to other bands on the scene at that time. These few songs, rehersals/demos take you back to a very personal & liberating time for me so I would like to thank you for sharing my memories with you. Enjoy!
