Melancholy, reflective, stripped down songs. I try to write songs about poignant events, which have really affected me in some way or another. Whatâs the point in having a voice, no matter how small, if you canât use it â“ even if all you do is allow someone else to identify with an emotion or a moment. I love to listen to lyrics and try to identify with the writer. If you can feel like you're not alone with your thoughts or beliefs that is comforting somehow. My greatest aspiration is that someone will let me know that I have achieved that for them...

Story behind the song
I wrote this song when I was driving home through the lake district late at night. It was a beautiful night and all I could think about was someone who I was in love with for a long time .. I wouldn't let myself believe that I really felt like that about him, until he had to go away somewhere and then I eventually realised the strength of my feelings, but then it was too late.. he'd gone.
Lyrics
The 3am clouds hang like Herringbone waves Superimposed on the sky of dark smoky grey The cold black crags lie ahead and beckon me While the mist lies in the field Low and safe When I close my ears to the world I hear you laughter When I close my eyes I see your smile When everything seems to be falling apart I see your eyes in those 3am stars & I realise Just how lucky we are In every word and every song Directed from my heart to you You don't even see me at all Except in the way I want you to But when I close my ears to the world I hear you laughter When I close my eyes I see your smile When everything seems to be falling apart I see your eyes in those 3am stars & I realise Just how lucky we are

The reverb on this helps it more than it appears to - giving it a soft, solitary mood. Great work, you have a fantastic voice.
