about

The first track, "Face The Silence" was his debut single, released a month and a half after his mother had passed; an attempt to encourage himself to carry on. Stuck in a globe of grief and unable to see a way out and with the feeling of having nothing left to lose, he tried to carve his own ladder by reminding himself of what he knows is the way forward, deep down - "take a step outside your door, feel the sunlight, walk the shore."

lyrics

Time begins to fade,
Changing, changing,
Sunlight turns to shade

Storm clouds congregate
Raging, raging
But do not be afraid

I see your ghost in front of me
Searching through every memory

Awake, but I should be sleeping
Afraid, even though I'm dreaming
Make your way, through the darkness
Stay, and face the silence

The world can feel a lonely place
Through darkest days, and strangest ways,
There's nothing that you cannot face alone

Take a step outside your door,
Feel the sunlight, walk the shore,
You'll find the light wherever you may go

I feel you walking next to me
And I know you'll always be beside me

Carry on, life won't wait for me
Be strong, through uncertainty
Alone, I will never be
So stay, and face the silence

Where are you now?

Awake, I'm no longer sleeping
Afraid, but I'm only dreaming
Don't walk away, even in the blindness
Just stay, and face the silence

Carry on, life won't wait for me
Be strong, through uncertainty
Alone, I will never be
So I'll stay, and face the silence

Let's stay and face the silence

I found a piano, found a harp, took my singing out of the shower, and picked up some other instruments along the way... and here we are. Welcome to my page and have a nice day!
