Fell For The World is OUT TODAY on all streaming sites
'Fell For The World is now live on all streaming services from today!
I've held four special songs back from the all single releases running up to todays full album release. It turns out that they happen to be four of the most personally poignant songs on the album for me. Songs that shape the backbone of this album and some of my experiences writing it.
I wrote 'Strangest Of Circumstance' during the many months I was bed bound with a spinal injury running up to recording this album. It's a simple encouraging love song that gently crept out of a very tough time. It appeared with all the buoyancy and encouragement I needed to hear at the time. To remember to trust and that even
"without the directions we can find our way home".
I wrote 'Lightning' after asking the nurse for a pencil from my hospital bed after the eventual spinal operation months later. It was built on the seed of a very old unfinished idea that I'd written years previously. It bubbled up and demanded to be written in at that moment.
"Just as the sunlight warms my face, lightning seems to strike another place"
'Fell For The World' was written on the road from New York to Bonnaroo festival in Tennessee and is a celebration of friendships, road trips, wonderlust and trust.
'I can't help believing
As much as we may know
These moments more than miles will show
Caught up in the motion
We could lose our days
Only to find we've found our way'
'Change' is a song I can't imagine not writing. It exists purely to mark my obsession with impermanence, to remind me to hold things gently and to be brave with the unwaveringly profound acceptance that everything is in movement, flow and change.
"If you wait for your sign
You could be waiting some time
For your stars to arrange
If your choices are slim
Won't you dive right in
'Cos there's nothing but change"
