I feel stupid, cus I didn't see it comin I feel stupid And I'm so tired of runnin I'm so far out I can barely see the trail And it's been a year now Since I went to hide away It was a mistake and now ice covers the lake and it's winter, an I shuffle through the snow It's winter and it chills me to the bone You know next time Next time maybe I'll try I will sing to you A promise to Be next to you Not letting go In sun or snow I'm stupid to keep beating myself up I know it But I'm down on my luck and I miss you and there's nothing more to say and I miss you How did it end this way?

Firefly 02:28
In a moment I lost everything that I had A sudden feeling a moment of brilliance went bad in the fire is where i rediscover myself to the wire don't care about the hand that i'm dealt In the forest just after midnight Casting shadows They're scary by the torchlight But we're ready for a fist fight Anything by short sight Imagining whatever might Jump out from the dark undergrowth 20 paces and we're heading north 10 thousand more to your front door cracking on the forest floor Firefly Crackling in the eastern sky Firefly I marvel as I'm standing by We pursue the purpose that brought us to this future place its a journey just know it was never a race i love every beautiful race We travel in the contours calibrate the energy we need for more Think about what we're thinkin for you weren't built for flying you were made to soar this adventure starts at the front door travel light, travel light travel light, travel light Sometimes when I find that I'm lost It's the weight of the goal not the cost I'm mortal but I'll rise again With the courage of spirit within Firefly Crackling in the eastern sky Firefly

Kite 02:27
Lookin at you, you colourful you catchin a thermal and skimmin the sky and you fly, glide, a stripe down your side fragile and fearless you go for a ride and it's me, me, I stand cautiously Reeling you in does nothing I see So I look on, I mumble a song To the breeze, sneeze, I suddenly freeze I'm a statue, I look straight at you Torn in the trees, you fell foul of the breeze You Caught between branch and bough and I'll do what I can, to help you come down maybe today I'll be goin home without you Glorious you You soared through the sky and you gave all you had And i'm sad, but glad we shared a space Even though I could never keep up with your pace it was you, you always was you it was you, you always was you it was you, you always was you it was you, you Glorious you

Circles 02:28
Cus I do my own head in When I'm just kickin round And when I'm feeling down And i've got no-one else around I'll put my life together now From the ground I'll build it up Put my life together now Disavow the things I'm not Isn't it funny Now we've found a way out We never had much money But we break through and its all good and I fall out with you and we make up and its all good I listen to what you say cus you are built a different way And we're growin everyday Just breath in and breathe out Get our lives together now Throw your open arms around me soak in the atmosphere there is nothing left to fear Breathe in, breathe out Breathe in, breathe out Widen our circle Find a little space and time To widen our circle Widen our circle of compassion Breathe in, breathe out Breathe in, breathe out Breathe in, breathe out Widen our circle Find a little space and time To widen our circle Widen our circle of compassion Breathe in, breathe out Breathe in, breathe out Breathe in, breathe out Breathe in, breathe out

about

In November 2021, I was unwell for three weeks with a cold, I lost my voice, I felt frustrated and I felt low. This EP came out of that moment, a moment where I felt physically and mentally sick. Writing these songs was like finding a remedy and as soon as I began all of my preoccupation with how I felt began to slowly disappear.

The cold reduced my voice to a gravelly whisper and so without my usual singing voice I fell deeper into lyricism, while my accent became more prominent in my voice. The process started with creating simple musical loops and then I let go of the idea of creating "music" and just told stories from my imagination, drawing on memories and experience. In a spoken word style I described scenes, situations and feelings as I waxed lyrical in a heady stream of conciousness. This EP contains the best bits of that experience.
