about

Just thought I’d set up this collection of 12 songs with a confession:
I want to move mountains for you. I want to right all the wrongs in your world.
But I stand with my broken dreams, my shortcomings, and my personal failures all trailing behind like vapours.
‘’So I’ll just sit here softly singing and hope that it helps you start your climb.’’
This song is about reconciling the limits of one’s own powerless as a friend or as an artist.
It was was written on the streets of Rome with lead guitarist, Chris Cordoba.
We went there to busk in the streets and came back with a new song.

lyrics

I dreamed I was a mountain
with snow-peaks white and pure
and with the thawing of each Spring
my streams would rush to cure
the thirst from which you sweetly suffer
that daunts you every time you start to climb.

I dreamed I was a hero
fulfilling every task
steadfast with an answer for
everything you asked
and slaying all your daydreams dragons
and spitfire syntax cluttering your mind.

Horizons wide
Arise and Smile
Enlightened child
The Night is wild

But I am not a hero
and this is not a dream
and I cant find the words to say
exactly what I mean
so I'll just sit here softly singing
and hope that it will help you pass the time.

Horizons wide
Arise and Smile
Enlightened child
The Night is wild
