lyrics

Can these buildings
Of my memory
Stand the weather
Stand the time
Will they hold up
To the distance
The assault of future countries
And the occasional crime

Will I return here
One day changed
To find a thick layer of dust
On every surface
Or will someone take my spot
And hang up their own pictures
Paint the walls and break up
The recollection of purpose

Keep moving
but keep a place
for all of these structures
for the familiar embrace
for the moments and madness
for the silence and the sadness
keep a corner set aside
unaffected by the ride

Can these objects
Long collected
Carry with them
Where they’ve been
Can decay be halted
By existing conditions
This thread is delicate
And barely seen

You can know it
They can show it
But there’s nothing easy
About this equation
Brace for impact
Strap yourself in
this runaway train
Has left the station

All the signs
Point towards corrosion
There’s no polish
On the dead end path
Stay safe
But not too safe
There’s always one clear choice not taken
In the aftermath

Songwriting and banging your instruments together

The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first. ... more
