Ever Knew 02:28
Five nights in that cabin that I never knew The shower was colder than the frost when the summer’s due And what was that thing that encircled me? I was more alone than you ever knew We took a drive down south longer than I ever knew You were tired and I could see, but there was nothing I could do I wished oh I wished I could take that wheel More than you ever knew I wanted to be your friend more than you ever knew But I was distracted, and you know I was To that screen my face was glued Well you know it was When I think about it now I know it wasn’t worth it But you know what What was worth it Was our friendship

I didn’t know what to do I didn’t know what to say Fumbling around on my words Falling about over things All of this time I’ve been thinking About all the ways I’ve been changing Changing I hope for the better Changing I know for the future All of the times I was wrong I learnt my lessons And all of the times I was right It’s cause I listened I was ashamed of my height I was afraid that I might Stand out from all of my friends But I was told not to care When I was scared of my future I’d come to God for His truth and That’s what I learnt from my mother That’s what I picked up from my father All of the times I was wrong I learnt my lessons And all of the times I was right It’s cause I listened Bridge I didn’t know I didn’t know I didn’t know I didn’t know I didn’t know I didn’t know I didn’t know what to say Know what to do Know anything I didn’t know I didn’t know I didn’t know Now I know a little more A little more cause I learnt from From people who cared for me dearly From people who dared to take a chance on me

Hibernating We’ve got a long way to go Bored of sleeping We’ll wake up to a show I’m impatient, my love I just wanna see you Cause… I don’t feel like being on my own I don’t feel like spending time alone I’ve been thinking That we should meet when we can I’m done with thinking That we could loose all we have I’m on the train to you cause I just wanna see you oh I don’t feel like being on my own I don’t want to spend this time alone We’re awaking We’ve been asleep for too long Re-beginning Starting again, feeling strong

Exeter 04:48
In the shade of the stuff that we don’t talk enough about Stained glass and the rolling clouds You’re holding out The river flowed Let my words fall into that dirty stream Wish I hadn’t mentioned it Let’s just forget This isn’t like other times I don’t know what’s coming next But I hear my train pulling in Are you coming with Well I want the next thing But what are we if we ever get out of here Close but out of reach That’s just how I feel Oh, the land is flying by  We only had a second to catch our breath It’s pulling me away from you Is this what it’s coming to Is this what’s left Hide your eyes Steady down Use the ground as your mask Don’t leave me here in Exeter That’s all I ask Should be used to it now But it still hits the same somehow I hear my train coming in Are you coming with Well I want the next thing But what are we if we ever get out of here Close but out of reach That’s just how I feel Oh, the land is flying by  We only had a second to catch our breath It’s pulling me away from you Is this what it’s coming to Is this what’s left I’ve been waiting patiently To see what you want with me when you figure it out It’s getting late You’re driving home Tomorrow I’ll be all alone Round and around and around And where are we now Do you want this enough Or am I the one who’s waiting for you And if you do how much Do you really want me Do you ever need me when you’re Thinking of me, lonely (In the evening The train is coming Is it just a season Or is there a reason) (Do you want this enough Do you want me enough)

Been wanting to say to you I really like where we are To wake up with this view I could get used to this You know You know So will you join me Been thinking I could go With my axe to the woods and In the winter warm our home Then do the same again You know You’d love that So will you join me I wonder where we’ll live I wonder where we’ll go So many things that I wanna know Your eyes are telling me That you don’t wanna leave But follow the Spirit And pack up when He leads God knows you’d love to be Not too far from the sea oh Cold water on your skin That feeling once you’re out It feels so good And I want that too So I will join you The first thing that I’ll do Is find the walks when we move Oh boy the thought of us Spending hours on them Makes me smile Oh you know it does So will you join me I wonder where we’ll live I wonder where we’ll go So many things that I wanna know Your eyes are telling me That you don’t wanna leave But follow the Spirit And pack up when He leads I wonder where we’ll live I wonder where we’ll go So many things that I wanna know Your eyes are telling me That you don’t wanna leave But follow the Spirit And pack up when He leads We’ll pack up when He leads

Eternity 06:05
Sometimes I get scared When I stay awake too late When I think about eternity Oh I can get afraid Sometimes I get scared When I think too much on it About living for evermore Oh I can get afraid Sometimes I get scared When I have not read your Word And eternity is like hell to me I forget your promises Sometimes I get scared When I have not knelt before you And I’m crippled by the fear of my Life without no end Oh I don’t wanna die Cause I don’t understand the other side of life But I have gotta trust in His promises That eternity with Him is gonna be better than this But I have gotta trust in His promises That eternity with Him is gonna be better than this

I feel like I’m falling off the edge of something tall, oh God I’m falling I’m in a state of falling I cannot be in control I’ve tried and failed and lost it all I’m falling I’m in a state of falling

about

Written and recorded over lockdown, I set to produce an album whose sound reflected how the last year has been for me (and, of course, many others): in a state of constant change.

This album is me being more honest in my songwriting, more open to different sounds, and more collaborative; some of my favourite artists and musicians have played on these songs, to whom I am incredibly grateful.

The whole experience of making these songs was special to say the least, and I hope you get a taste of the joy I had during the recording process.
