about

A song I wrote for a video for an organ donor charity project in the UK. It can be seen here youtu.be/C_EWcsrD-_4

lyrics

What's that your holding
out on your sleeve
sometimes we all hope for
a little reprieve
some space away from the crowd
where we can finally breathe
and see straight
there's too much food on this plate

it's hard to just stop
when the path comes a calling
your paper feet fumble
you just can't get the ball in
and mixed up memories
begin to start falling
out of view
this puzzle needs a clue

Give it up for a Sunday spent on the river
Give it up for that first major chord
Give it up for the park in the centre of a city
Give it up for the last book you adored

These moments in life
in the wide open they hide
lost in the empty market
you can't find your guide
and everyone tells us
what matters is inside
everyone
is their own moon and their own sun

Give it up for watching rain from the window
Give it up for a mountain top laugh
Give it up for a cinema shadow
Give it up for a late night bath

Give it up for the arms that won't let go
Give it up for the first and last kiss
Give it up for the twinkling smile on their face
Give it up for the things we'd all miss

if we didn't stop
and take time
to give it up

Give it up for falling asleep on the sofa
Give it all up for friends and family
Give it up for all the guilty pleasures
Give it all up for the strangers you see

who might stop
and take the time
to give it up

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
