I've been writing for over thirty years, I'm almost getting to the fruits of maturity! This music of mine is generally melodic and poppy. In addition to this page, check out The Tweaky Twins. That's Marge McKinnis and myself demoing our songs. Then there's Mr Melody, me in my more ambient-jazz frame of mind. Rick Norton or "Rino" is in the pop section, he does some songs I've co-authored. Finally the upcoming DeShayna, with whom I co-write.

Story behind the song

I was in the dayroom of my ward in Milton Keynes General watching a girlie group twirl and sing on tv and I thought "I ought to be making better use of my time in hospital" so I wrote some songs. "Diving In Water" was about the last I wrote, and easily the best.

Lyrics

Diving in Water

Love
should be like diving in water
When
you know what you believe
Time
should show you reason and laughter
and set you free, set you free

High
above the plains and the river
As
the sands run back to the sea
Hope
presents a season in heaven
these things will be, these things will be

Diving in water
The plains and the river 
time and the season 
Hope with good reason 

All
in good time life is changing
Ask
the world what’s the deal
See
the light that streams through the stained glass
says love is real, says love is real

(break based on verse)

Diving in water
Life is still changing
Hoping in season
time and the river
Diving in water
Diving in water
