A song from 'isolation'... during the COVID-19 crisis
call a friend
Hi folks. I have added a lot of videos recently. Please take a look!
Hi folks, This site acts as a personal archive of my work. So you'll find my best recordings here as well as some pretty crappy ones. The earliest recordings here were made on simple cassette decks, others were made on mobile phones, some are live recordings made at various gigs over the years, a handful were made in small recording studios, but most of the more recent ones were made at home on a Zoom portable studio, which itself is now rather ancient! If you like a song and want to download it, click on 'Full song info' for that song and you will see the download link. You can also read the lyrics and any background information on the songs that I may have added. All my music is available for free - enjoy :) cheers, Charles

Story behind the song
I wrote a new verse for this song to reflect on what 'isolation' means for people who are on their own during this COVID-19 crisis
Lyrics
The strangest thing I ever saw Was a man who lacked for nothing asking for more When all the while he wasn't really sure Just what it was he was looking for Is there a reason for the poet's rhymes? Is there a meaning in between the lines? Is there a space outside of time where we go on? And oh how we yearn To sink into another's arms To lose ourselves Surrender and let go The birds awake me before the dawn I reach out in the gloom and turn the radio on It's still the same old story - there is no other one Another day begins Another night is gone These are the days to stay at home To call a friend who's on their own To contemplate the great unknown And who we are And oh how we yearn To sink into our mother's arms To lose ourselves Surrender and let go
