Light hearted but twisted outlook of the world expressed through music
No band as such. Just me. On my own. I spent a couple of years muddling through life after being put out of work. I had too much pride to let the authorities to pay my way in life so worked day and night working all over the UK to support my family. One year in particular was very bad, so much so I couldn't even afford a token gift for my wife on Valentines day. I picked up a guitar which had been gathering dust for 10 years and wrote "Light the Way". This was my gift to my wife. From that day I have been writing songs and trying to express myself a little.

Story behind the song
A minimalist experiment to find simple songs from silly situations/events. this was born from a picture I saw in a supermarket in Widnes, UK.
Lyrics
The Bridge V1 The Sun's still shining over Runcorn Bridge by the Mersey Hotel On the hill where the roses grow see the light hit the waves See the birds swarm in the sky Where the boats used to sail Where the children would play. V2 The Sun's still shining by the bridge by the Mersey Hotel The kids swim now by the locks over Spike Island Way The future looks brighter now. Another bridge, another day. Another era, who can say! V3 to end. On the hill where the roses grow see the light hit the waves See the birds swarm in the sky Where the boats used to sail Where the children would play.
