When I was recording this song I had always planned to try & make a video for it. I don’t know about kids today, but when I was a lad it wasn’t a song if there wasn’t a video for it 😉 Originally I thought I would video myself recording the song & make one... Continue Reading →
Dragon flies buzz the Warm summer air Patrolling in squadrons Overhead of the tables Filled with picnicking families The orchestra strikes up A wonderful familiar symphony Peace and relaxation Are joined by comfort and happiness As fog is pumped in The trees make a target For dancing lasers Projecting fantasy The roar of the fireworks...

Therapy; talking it through Good advice, a nice chat Positive thinking Moving on Nice ideas, yet ultimately flawed There is only one path to true healing There is only one way to true change Nothing, but the blood of Jesus Kingdom principles, applied to the matrix Effective guidelines, but Ridiculously underused, like a...

Desire leaving Progress stalling Momentum shifting Commitment required Future in question Where do we go from here?
Of all the things I would like to do Write in greater depth Think thoughts that require stationary patience Write music that does not sound hurried Read in a way that stays in the memory Not just a fleeting moment in time That vanishes just as swiftly as it was beautiful All these things...

So why write and record music & place it on my blog? One word; fear. I have lived with a crippling fear of rejection for most of my life.
