    Another two tracks from my collaboration with Gustaf Ljunggren, the first written when the issue of 'breathing' was very much in the news, the second when things looked like they may be approaching normality. Both tracks a little more gentle than last month's 'Dream on Brother', with some stunning woodwind playing on 'Circumstances'.
    More to come.......

    I had only intended to release two tracks this month, but have added a bonus track, for reasons which should be obvious



    Thanks to a healthy response to last month's track, £30 donated to Newcastle West End Foodbank

Breathing 04:09
I can feel the world upon me, breathing out and breathing in, breathing I can see the lights are shining on the colour of your skin, dreaming In the lonely distance whenever evening falls, the heart calls out for quietness In a world’s confusion hear a whisper, wanting more and needing less. I can slip into the whirl of time, breathing out and breathing in, breathing I can hear a quiet heartbeat and live the moment that we’re in, dreaming In the middle distance, the birds cry out – disturbance, a calm falls on the silent fields Blessed at home in safety, hold the busy thoughts; wait for what the calm reveals I can feel a quiet presence, breathing out and breathing in, breathing I can see a time that’s nearing; sunlight breaking on your skin; dreaming In the lonely distance whenever evening falls, the heart calls out for quietness In a world’s confusion hear a whisper, wanting more and needing less.

In another set of circumstances, I’d break free But I’m going down the path of least resistance I think nothing good could come of this, even though you say it’s just a simple kiss Slowly turning on the key to another place And I’m going down the path of least resistance Too many irons in the fire to miss, even though it’s just a simple kiss Pandora sighing at the mess she has made I shouldn’t pick at all the loose threads in the story But I’m going down the path of least resistance Another coffin nail to join the other six, even though you say it’s just a simple kiss.

Shine 02:41
Shine Try a little harder, to make it true Try a little harder, that’s the trouble with you Smile a little brighter, you’re going to make it right Smile a little brighter; no-one believes you tonight Ring out all the changes, the cream of the crop Ring out all the changes, to make it stop Lie a little easier, to make it true Lie a little easier, that’s the secret with you Walk a little faster, to get away Run a little faster, you think you’ll still get your way Shine a little brighter, you think you got the spark Shine a little brighter, you’re still in the dark Talk a little softer, try to convince Talk a little softer, leave no fingerprints Try a little harder, to make it true Try a little harder, that’s the trouble with you
