Im an independent musician and songwriter and I compose and record these songs in my spare time. I take on many roles in this process including lyricist, vocalist, programmer, engineer, mixer, producer, promotor and more recently video creator. I live in Bath, England (birthplace of Tears for Fears) with my wife and two children and for a real job I teach Mathematics to 11 to 18 year olds. My basic recording set up consists of a PC, music software, a few guitars, microphones and various other instruments that I also put my hand to. When I write music, I dont consciously stick to any particular style although the songs invariably end up sounding like a mixture of the artists that Im influenced by. Where possible, I like to include layers of guitar tracks, some very subtle, with the aim of blending them into one sound. Creating music is my hobby, but I am keen to promote my music and I would greatly appreciate any help you are able to offer. Ways you can help: Subscribe to my YouTube channel, like my Facebook page or become a fan on my ReverbNation page, Share links to my songs, videos or pages on your social media. Many thanks and stay safe. Lee

Lyrics
Shifting sands There was a fire today It was oceans away I heard their loved ones cry There was a man with a frown He blew up a town Would someone tell me why The events unfold on my TV All around the world there is tragedy Please don’t tell me that it’s meant to be Our lives move like the shifting sands Taken like gold from the devil’s hand Wasted how can this be right How can this be right So many fade into the night Some friends drove a car But they went one mile too far were barely half my age A man betrayed by a friend Brought their life to an end Could not control his rage The time we spend just running around Not standing out in any crowd When suddenly there’s no more time to break free Our lives move like the shifting sands Taken like gold from the devil’s hand Wasted how can this be right How can this be right Please don’t tell me that it’s meant to be Our lives move like the shifting sands Taken like gold from the devil’s hand Wasted how can this be right So many fade into the night Fade into the night How can this be right?

This is a well constructed song, well played and recorded. Please don't get miffed, if I say you're not the worlds best vocalist. (I'm certainly not) but you ARE a great song writer and musician.
