STORIES BEHIND THE SONGS
IMPOSSIBLY BEAUTIFUL
I hope you like this expression of my heart,This is the first song on the E.P. & is straight from the heart!!! Its actually a reworking of an old demo which I always loved & vowed to come back to one day. I had lots of fun revisiting & reworking this song & to really shape into into a heart felt expression of me today & not just make a repeated modern version of something that had all its own raw charm & simply failing to recapture that moment when it came to me as that demo way back when, but turn it into something with a whole new honest identity. It is sOOthing yet bouncy & if you sing along or repeat the words to your self it will uplift your spirits & transcend you into a very beautiful space! EnjOy!!!
ANYONE ELSE BUT YOU
….There can never be anyone else but you!!!
This song is about the incomparable presence of God guiding your life.
It also features the beautiful melodic vocals of Diana Butler who sings the Chorus.
Its a very interesting track that starts off in soothing chillout vibes with inspired out pouring of spontaneous devotional poetry in the verses & as the track builds it rolls out in celebratory rave dance fashion that will surely have you dancing around like it was the 1990’s again!
.
TIME FOR A CHANGE
I feel it captures a mood that many people have been feeling this year. This song came to me very quickly, it was the time of the elections & there was so much conflict not only in politicians but also in social circles to that it was a very disheartening experience. So thats how this song was born! I woke up in the morning & I knew straight away that I had a track ready to come out, so I sat by the computer armed with a coffee & a banana & started to produce this track! I added the vocal loop that you hear which is actually a sample from my self from a project I did a while back called ‘Kingdom Of The Funk’, I just knew that it had to be used & it fitted perfectly. Soon as I started I couldn’t stop it was like opening the flood gates & by midday I had finished the main production of the track in its entirety! I then took a break & went out side breathed in some fresh thanked God for what he had blessed me with & of course had another coffee! Later on that day I added the guitars which once again poured through me & it was done! Needless to say this track holds some very personal memories & feelings for me & feels like a perfect antidote for conflict.
SPARK
Whats the Spark in your life? This is a song about running towards that very thing that inspires & drives you & embracing new life! This is a straight ahead rocking track which also includes dance rave influences make it an interesting crossover. It has a great spiky guitar riff which builds up to big Springsteen like crashing chords in the chorus with a catchy vocal that will surely hook you in.
DESIRE
I had the guitar riffs for this song in my head for over a year but never felt the right time to do anything with them until this year where it found its perfect home in this project. Desire is an interesting bouncy rocking Indie track that has some interesting layers giving it a summery triply feel. I put a lot of my heart & energy into producing this song as it was quite complex but I didn’t want to lose its easy breezy feel. It also has a cool guitar solo in the middle whilst maintaing a classic Indie feel & finishes with a powerful uplifting outro & a raucous spirited Hendrix influenced guitar solo that finishes things off with a bang!
SHINE A LIGHT
This song is one of those once again where I had the basic guitars in my head for over a year but couldn’t find a home for them! Originally I want red this to be a vocal track & did try recording some vocals for the verses but they never quite seemed to fit right to what I was expecting. Then one afternoon after listening to some Joe Satriani (yes I have manny influences!) it came to me ‘why not try to do this as an instrumental!’ Aha I thought thats it! So I set up to record & it poured through me once again & came out exactly how it needed to be. It has that beautiful simple Satriani influenced soulful melody that changes through out & builds with the mood of the peace whilst maintains a Hendrix retro vibe. I latter also added some vocals in the Chorus to see if I could link it back to my original idea & it worked perfectly, now it was an interesting marriage part instrumental part vocal an epic retro psychedelic soulful expression of the heart about the shining light in your life. I have also included all the original lyrics for the song so you can get to see it in a different light & perspective & maybe you can even come up with your own melody for it & sing along to the song. EnjOy!

LYRICS
IMPOSSIBLY BEAUTIFUL
Love is impossibly beautiful
It knows no division
Unify
I am transcending into line

ANY ONE ELSE BUT YOU
VERSE 1
As I look up into the night sky
I realise that the darkness is in me
& not what I see with my sight
For your illuminated love is always hidden & waiting for me to realise inside.
CHORUS
And in the dark tonight your love is shining bright
There can never be anyone else but you!
VERSE 2
And in this night there is truth,
And by this grace
I see more clearly than I ever did,
When the sun illuminated my face.
CHORUS
And in the dark tonight your love is shining bright
There can never be anyone else but you!
VERSE 3
And in your sheltering veil,
Let my heart make it a home,
For you to burry hidden treasures.
Only for me to realise the nurturing of your love.
And I know that each star is a mirror of a gift,
Of all the seeds that you have planted in my heart.
So I thank you with grace my Lord.
CHORUS
And in the dark tonight your love is shining bright
There can never be anyone else but you!
In the stars truth shines,
In the stars can’t hide!
CHORUS
And in the dark tonight your love is shining bright
There can never be anyone else but you!

And I hold you tight

Sunshine in my mind

Each day & each night
You are the spark of my life

DESIRE
VERSE 1
And in your heart & I see your eyes,
Looking into me with love,
I see a fearlessness inside,
You beat back all that can not hide.

Into the night I fly
I thank the moon for all it hides,
Then I see the sun behind,
I thank it for all its sunny smiles

Thank you for your grace,
Thank you my Lord
Your light has embraced me into life
CHORUS
Your heart
Your love
Is all I desire
Your arms keep me
In ways you wouldn’t believe

Everything is known by the unknown,
Let go of all that you hold,
New doors will be shown to trust,
Will you trust & walk on through

Into the night I fly
I thank the moon for all it hides,
Then I see the sun behind,
I thank it for all its sunny smiles
BRIDGE 2
Thank you for your grace,
Thank you my Lord
Your light has embraced me into life
CHORUS
Your heart
Your love
Is all I desire
Your arms keep me
In ways you wouldn’t believe

SHINE A LIGHT
VERSE 1
In my heart the blackness turns to white,
Divine love pours through every time,
Healer of body,
Transformer of mind!
Guiding light I trust you without fear,
I do know that you are always near,
Guide my soul,
Transcending light!
Where I go I do not know
Take my trust take over my reigns
Through your love
Resting soundly!
God forbid I should die to night,
I’d greet you on my knees,
Pardon me please,
For all my needs!
BRIDGE
A place in my heart I keep especially for you,
All the riches you hold,
How could you not transform all that you touch by your grace?
CHORUS
You shine a light so bright
You take away my fears
The more I give myself to you
Your grace is sweater than anything I could ever taste!
VERSE 2
Your light vibrations is it a dream?
The bliss I feel does not feel real,
Out of body,
Uncaged broken free!
Now all illusions do drift away,
By time & love to the supreme,
Now can’t go back,
Cant deny your love!
Yes I feel much better than before,
A day In prayer a day in joy,
This joy reflects,
And connects more joy!
Heavenly bliss free from this form,
In your gardens,
I long to dwell,
All my loved ones,
We look back & laugh!
BRIDGE
A place in my heart I keep especially for you,
All the riches you hold,
How could you not transform all that you touch by your grace?
CHORUS
You shine a light so bright
You take away my fears
The more I give myself to you
Your grace is sweater than anything I could ever taste!
