about

Very happy to release my first single, with accompanying music video by Musicarta: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKRJJ9ee1QM

Thank you so much to everyone involved!! I'm hugely grateful to work with such amazing people

lyrics

There’s strength in my body
That’s sailed in English waves
And my body, it carries
The burden of English change

But there’s blood in my body
That’s not from around these parts
And I know that my body
Doesn’t own an English heart

I was born too many footsteps from home
So many miles, so many streets
That I’ll walk on my lonesome own

I need home
I need home, England - let me go
On my own
I need home, England - let me go

My eyes have died
A melancholic death
From keeping vital things
Behind my breath

And I’m blind and I’m numb
So tell me how I should feel
Every time I fall
I hide what’s real

What is real, I don't know

I need home, England - let me go
I need home, and it's not in Albion
On my own, England - let me go
I need home

This track was worked on at the IoSR Studios at the University of Surrey as a part of the Tonmeister course. I have a huge amount of gratitude to the course, the quality of learning and standard of gear available is incredible, and without it I'd be a whole lot further from where I want to be
