Dear All
Pretty depressing topic !
I have just finished recording this rather emotional / epic song - it was written about 8 years ago when my girlfriend was sent to prison on her 21st birthday. I have never been able to bring myself to record it until recently. The lyrics are about visiting her and seeing a ghost through her eyes as if everything she said was just to try and make me feel better as though she was an alturistic angel without a selfish bone in her body, when I could see it was absolute hell for her.
The second verse is about the struggle men can have expressing their emotions and it touches on the modern suicide epidemic in the UK which is now the biggest killer of adult men.

Lyrics -
And baby when I get to see
your eyes
seem to say to me
you're alright
and all these things
I felt inside
dream our dreams
and live inside of our minds
OOOOh
I wish I had the chance to see you
I would tell you what you meant to me
would you take me there
But we all live in the real world
and in my head you know
It's not what it seems.
You see me here tonight
I sold my soul to you
A good old fashioned fight
See me hit the ground...
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
