Be Still 06:47
Be still my broken mind Be strong and hold on to the ones you love You will find the peace that haunts you You will find the peace of better days Be still and realise that the dreams you hold are worth fighting for All this time wasted on agony for false fictions I don't know what I want or what I need but my soul bleeds the blood of a better man Be still my worried heart There is still time and opportunity to restore peace to your being Be still and forget the past Leave your pain there and move our thoughts to a better future I could drown in this ocean of emotion Feeling you slip away Slowly and unable to stop the tides I can no longer hide Let go of my pride I stand tall and no longer shrink away I will take what I can Be still and let it wash over you The love you've never known And the love you've had I may feel weak But I know there is strength I wouldn't have survived that bitter desert The wilderness of anxiety and fear You reached into my depths pulled me from the abyss of oblivion In the welcome darkness My soul reached out and I found your hand Now we walk in sunlight Dappled by the shadow of leaves Be still my love Let it remain a thing of beauty If only fleeting Like a blossom in time To be still in a time of chaos Is an act of bravery and rebellion That nourishes the soul The growth within Never diminished Be still in truth and knowledge That you are not alone The pain will decrease One day You will see

Like Gods 04:34
Let me taste your sin Pour it out pon my skin I'm burstin within Pinned by your wicked grin You're my salvation You're my destruction Feel my resurrection No more procrastination I got an overactive imagination Don't question my dedication I desire without cessation No more hesitation I figured out the equation Just looking for that sensation Your gaze is stimulation Your voice whispering adulation I want all of you Let's fuck like Gods We'll make the Devil blush You're so lush Come here baby Give your self to me My voice be your lubrication Your body be my medication Come here baby be my assassination The ultimate temptation Your pleasure my only vocation An endless vacation I want carnal creations In lust filled deterioration Mind blowing recreations Each other's ruination Your mind a fascination I'm thirsty you hydration Be my annihilation Moving in perfect syncopation My favourite recreation Soul bonding restoration The sounds of your sighs my elation I just want your adoration I want all of you Let's fuck like Gods We'll make the Devil blush You're so lush Come here baby Give your self to me

Place your hand in mine Our fingers intertwined We'll travel and unravel Dimensions undefined Looks sparked electrically Tension and chemistry Your eyes can smote Uou the poison and antidote Growls in your ear You have nothing to fear You are mine We'll take our time My groans like Shakespeare Cause it's been such a long time Since I had you the way I want to Come be with me I want you Crack my heart of stone You're etched in my bone Running through my veins I'm not the same My spirit has flown Look me in the eyes I feel the butterflies Your lips on mine The finest wine The greatest of highs Slay me with your smile Forget who I was erstwhile Your hugs a drug We love the Bug Pretty sure I'm in denial That's it That's it you my good girl

about

I'm finding it really difficult to put this record out. I believe it's some of my best work. It's just so personal.
I'd like to think this record is a form of therapy for me.
I'm diving deep into my feelings and mind to make this real.

The first four tracks have vocals and have been edited to make them more like regular songs, made from "live" improvisations which make up the remaining tracks.

I made this record under a cloud of depression and anxiety. During an unprecedented time of lockdown and confusion.
Perhaps this is not a unique journey, but I hope I can give inspiration to others to overcome personal difficulties. To rise above, a process I'm dealing with still. I hope there is a positive message to be heard. It is a deeply personal record. My aspirations are simply to have this heard by as many as possible.

Sonically I'm satisfied. It's big and heavy, and grooves, has soul. As ever my lyrical and vocal efforts have me dealing with anxiety.
Another area of difficulty is self promotion. I am truly a DIY artist/ producer. Confidence has always been an issue for me. I'm not sure why but my confidence has taken a big knock recently. This feels extra hard at the moment.
I am truly grateful for you taking the time to listen and hope you like it. I really hope these songs can mean something to others but if not I made them for myself, by myself. My heart and soul exposed
Most of the tracks were recorded and mixed live on two tracks. I have found that I achieve better results writing songs this way. But there are obvious flaws, but I feel the flaws also make it better or unique. I find something sterile about "perfect " production or performance. The great Willie Dixon produced many amazing tracks for chess records. He would deliberately leave "mistakes " in as it added flavour.

Enjoy!
