Summer Storm - 'Only a Heart Can Feel This Kiss'



You know at the start of a relationship, where things are going great but you haven’t had ‘the conversation’. Then a few months pass, feelings intensify, but you’re still not sure where you stand?

Starts of relationships are wonderful times filled with life affirming excitement and passion. But for someone with self esteem issues, there can also be a darker side to this period. Constant doubt, questions of worthiness, anxiety, overthinking - and all the time keeping it all inside because you want to be their ‘rock’ and you want to be strong for them. That’s what this song is about. It's my only love song on the EP.
The quote is from "Summer Storm", taken from the "Modern Life Is Lies" EP, released on tomorrow (Friday 20th May) via iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Bandcamp and Google Play.

Raat Ka Nasha (Enchanted Evening)

This is an excerpt from the 5th track from my forthcoming EP 'Modern Life Is Lies' and features the Norwegian artist Of Embla.

Raat Ka Nasha means 'Enchanted Evening' in Hindi.


Li(v)es - Theism & Atheism



I was raised as a Christian but stopped identifying as one in my mid-teens. I've seen many arguments directed at non-religious people, asking how they know right from wrong if they do not have a religious book with rules to follow. We don't need to follow a religion to live a just life though; morals can come from life experience, from friends/family, from history or from philosophy.


I try to show respect for my friends and for anyone who follows a religion. I've seen people being criticised in the past though for 'picking and choosing' what they follow from their religious book. To me, this is good sense - to question critically or to adapt appropriately to your life and to the times we live in. But if you do 'pick & choose' (for want of a better phrase), please do not feel guilty about it - and don't let anyone make you feel that way.


The quote in the picture is from 'Li(v)es', the first track on my new EP 'Modern Life Is Lies', released on Friday 20th May (this week!) worldwide via iTunes, Amazon, Google Play.

Li(v)es - Thinking For Ourselves


We have the Internet and we have a world of information at our fingertips. We don't have to blindly accept what the television tells us, what our favourite newspaper tells us, or what the corrupted media tell us - we can do a bit research and make up our own minds.

On of my friends shared this post on Facebook and wrote "From the right or the left! Think before you decide, think before you share, think before you vote!" Spot on, I'd say.

I've made a few posters with lyrics from songs on the EP that I'm posting on Facebook / Twitter / Instagram over the next couple of weeks... this is the first one from the first track on the EP "Li(v)es".
