about

I’ve always loved songs that are short, a burst of creativity and then out. ‘Her Majesty’ by The Beatles makes me giggle. But I also think short songs can say quite a lot. Why spend 3 minutes saying the same thing you said in the first thirty seconds?

I released a song called Solace on my ‘Apollo’ EP and all one minute thirty two seconds was used in an episode of Grey Anatomy. Fans of the show found the original song on my youtube and a few were a bit frustrated that it was short. But I think the whole emotional breadth of the song is encapsulated in such a short amount of time is a success.

lyrics

It’s ok to be afraid sometimes,
Just don’t let it leave you left behind,
‘Cause sometimes the bad turns good,
And they’ll call you the comeback kid.

I’m coming with you,
Nothing you do,
Could cause my heart to falter,
And in the silence,
You’re that light that,
Showed me seven wonders,
So lift the anchor, fuel the fire,
Take my hand and fly me higher
I’m coming with you,
All the way through,
Showed me seven wonders
