	A song can heal a thousand words. This love could heal a thousand hurt. It's not because we think we're better Just bringing in the brighter weather Sit down by the Old Oak Tree. Can't explain what it means to me. Close your eyes and you'll hear her whisper A timeless song that reminds you of us The streets are paved with dirt and faded dreams Geometric shapes, it's an ugly scene. Everybody's acting King and Queen Don't give a away your power! Squirrels are collecting all year round, They'd just love to steal what we have found They can chase their tails around and round And we won't say a word. You know I love you like the morning Sun It's just that living here has got me on the run All these people with their tricks and ego Trying to make paupers of my heroes Protectors of some hidden truth. There's a taste, if you learn how to stoop. You're better off with some time alone You and I know better. Turned the page, Oh so many times I could write a hundred books all filled with lies Quick words are cheap but cost us dear, Aren't you just surviving here Take a moment to forget it all and to remember what it was we nearly lost. So much more than just passing flame. Whenever I hear your name. Don't me wrong, this is not some postcard to some long lost love I'm not pining at the moon If you feel your heart then you know the truth. You know I love you like the morning Sun It's just that living here has got me on the run All these preachers with their tricks and ego Trying to make paupers of my heroes.

In these, sometimes lonely, turbulent and changing times, it makes sense to me to celebrate what is natural. With that in mind, I offer this small collection of songs... Recorded in a small project studio in Edinburgh and mixed simply, they capture the first and only takes in live session a live session, of four tracks.

The first and last are the newest, the second inspired by Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, with the third originating during the early part of my time in Berlin(and collaborations with Jamie Ross). The themes are reflective and with moments of vivid and surreal imagery. All are in celebration of love, nature, freedom and the creative process.

I hope they bring you some inspiration and nostalgia for what is and what can be.

Chris
