    My 5 track debut album, recorded (and mostly written) in a space of 6 weeks within April/May 2010 for the 'Final Major Project' section of my National Diploma in Music.

    With the full album download, along with the 5 higher-quality tracks, you'll receive 3, yes 3 great spanking bonus tracks:

    - My piano arrangement/improvisation of "The Sims - Build Theme 1" (All compositional rights remain with EA Games)

    - The early 2009 original demo of the "Daisy Chains" single. Most people who've given feedback have said they prefer this to the new version of the song. Let me know what you think! :)

Track Name: Only You
Eyes meet mine across the room
Innocent and pale blue, overwhelmed by only you
I catch my breath and catch your smile
If only for a little while

You danced your way into my heart
Effortless and perfectly, I don't know what's came over me
I can't help but to fall
With no certainty at all

Only you
Remain on my mind each day
Only you
Will be mine one day I'll pray
Only you
Only you

You danced your way into my heart
Effortless and perfectly, I don't know what's came over me
I can't help but to fall
With no certainty at all

Only you
See the truth in things untold
Only you
I want by my side to hold
Only you
Only you

Forget about the endless cost
The price you've paid the ones you've lost
We're taking down the walls that hide
The truth inside the truth inside

We'll fight through pain and lonliness
Fear and lies this hurtful mess
It'll all be over soon
We'll make it through
I'll rescue you

only you
Are the one with whom I'd share my life
Only you
Could I ever make my wife
Only You
Only You
Track Name: Sparrows (feat. Sophie Nicholls)
Verse 1:
I can hear the birds
Singing in the trees
It's the sweetest noise
I've fallen on my knees
And the thought of you makes me want to cry
So I'll spread my wings and pray one day I'll fly


Verse 2:
I can smell the grass
Sweep up in the breeze
I can taste the air
It makes me feel at ease
And no matter what - I'll be strong and face the world
Cause here I am, I'm flying higher than the earth.

Chorus:
I wanna be far from here - soaring like the birds
I wanna feel the wind, blow away your words
And with a smile on my face, I'll fly everday
Cause I'll be free,
I'm gonna go my own way.


Bridge:
I needed time to forget your lies
And all the pain you caused inside
But now im here and I've got faith
To reach the skies, to escape.
Track Name: Love Cake
Finding words to express the way I feel
Tried so hard but couldn't get it right
You spend so long singin' other people's words
That your own just seem to far out of sight

Lost in the middle of a metaphorical forest
So many directions which one do we take?
But with you I can't get lost I'm already found
So come on baby, let's make some lurve cake

We've been through fear and doubt yeah, but also hope
Nothing can stop us on our way back home
Not rain or snow

So then we'll return back to our country house
Where we'll greet our dog who ate our cat
Who ate our mouse, who ate our fish
It all made a good dish, when we put it in a stew
Well actually it was more of a casserole
Because we cooked it at an ample temperature of 180 degrees
For 20 minutes
But in retrospect the mouse was a bit chewy
Oh why did I eat my poor old dear Louis

Oh Louis...

....You came out in a little pooie.

So then you turn around a kiss my nose
Prefer the lips but that's the way it goes

So then we go to bed and you know the rest
That's where you lay your head down on my chest.
Track Name: Daisy Chains
Sugar-coated memories
Racing through my mind
Forget-me-nots and daisy chains
And the trails they leave behind
Coloured veils across our eyes
As we reflect on better days
It's so much easier to sing this song
Looking through this haze

Whispered words and sweet goodbyes
We're free-falling through the skies
(Where do we go from here?)
So close those eyes and count to ten
Cause I'll be with you 'till the end

Coloured veils across our eyes
As we reflect on better days
It's so much easier to sing this song
Now we're looking through this haze

Finding words to fit the smiles
We've been on this road for miles
(Where do we go from here?)
So close those eyes and count to ten
I'll be with you 'till the end

A few seconds can be such a long time

Tender kisses, near misses
Naive wishes, unknown riches
What is love? All this is.
