It only takes a moment for a normal day to become a struggle to get through. Make the most of each moment because you never know what tomorrow will bring.

Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
I was reading in the dermatologists waiting room.. about a young mum who said goodbye to her husband, only to discover later in the day he had tragically been involved in an accident. A couple sitting near me had obviously received some bad news about their visit that day, and they were having to totally adjust their expectations. You really never know what the next day will bring your way! Life can be so hard and we easily become derailed.
Lyrics
Derailed Adrian J Pratt December 15 2017 He thought she was the sweetest thing That he had ever seen She thought that being with him Would be living the dream For a while they circled round Dancing just like opposites do Eventually they came together Everything was new He worked in finance In an office on the 19th floor She served behind the deli counter At the local grocery store They had a cute little houses 2 up 2 down With a view of the riverside She said “Let's start a family” He said “Wait a while” He left for work as normal Friday 24th of June She kissed him like she always did Said “Honey I'll see you soon!” The inquiry left an open verdict As to why that train went off the rails But the only thing she understood He wasn't coming back again. Derailed, fears unspoken. Derailed, a heart left broken. Derailed, that's all they said Derailed, she knew just what that meant She still works the deli counter At the local grocery store She's got a beautiful boy Who his father never saw Some days she does O.K Other days she just gets through Life can be hard You never what's coming to you Derailed, fears unspoken. Derailed, a heart left broken. Derailed, that's all they said Derailed, she knew just what that meant
