about

Recorded in Valencia, Spain, with one of my song-writing heroes, Josh Rouse, who also sang backing vocals and mixed the song.

lyrics

"I’m still waiting for the Earth to wake
I’ve been up all night and i’m looking for escape
Come down with me and see where I live
Float up with me and feel what I see

I’m still waiting for the sun to break
Up to see it rising, but always up too late
It’s the story of my dream, I have one
It’s the dancing of the truth and fiction

I believe that fools are those who wait
I know better now I know it’s not too late

I’m still sleeping and I know it’s not late
Just keep on driving, and wake me to create
What I want you all to see, a vision
Of what this young man can make with inspiration

I believe that fools are those who wait
I know better now I know it’s not too late
I believe I’ve started something
And fools are those who wait
I know better now I know it’s not too late
If I can wait

I’m still waiting, and thinking it’s too late
To keep keeping a light on, and waking up to chase
All the things I see dreaming
And all I need is something to believe in

I believe that fools are those who wait
I know better now I know it’s not too late
I believe I’ve started something
And fools are those who wait
I know better now I know it’s not too late"

I'm an Australian singer/songwriter living in the south east of the UK.
I played for about 6 years with my best mates and first band in Australia called ‘Noogie’, releasing albums and touring in both America and Australia.
Having written my first solo album in 2007, I’m nearing the end of writing a second album, having had a break while raising my young kids.
I’m influenced by a really broad range of music, but the main songwriting influences are: Elliott Smith, Crowded House, Josh Rouse, Nirvana, You Am I, Green Day.
The dream is to be writing and performing music without having to have another job!

about

The Sounds of Strangers UK

We are a group of BT musicians who have come together (initially as strangers) to create an album of different music from our bands or solo acts to raise money for charity. Our first album is in support of the World Cancer Research Fund UK.
We wanted to contribute our 'sounds' for the album - responding to an S.O.S. appeal from Phil Brunkard who kicked off the project.
We hope you enjoy.
