Through The Fingers Of Your Hand

At last after a long gap I’ve written a new song – here are the lyrics. I’ll upload the tune when I’ve recorded it.

Through The Fingers Of Your Hand

Lazy days drift by
Like hazy clouds across the sky
Wasted days they all blur into one
And all across this land
Hours of time like flowing sand
Pass as water through the fingers of your hand

So many things we want to do
A hundred things we ought to do
A thousand things we meant to do one day
The books we never wrote
The song caught in your throat
The pictures that won’t see the light of day

Though the moment seems so long
How could we ever be so wrong
Don’t we know we live on borrowed time?
Seconds tick away
Minutes they won’t stay
Days and weeks and months turn into years
And though the moment seems so long
How could we ever be so wrong
Don’t we know we live on borrowed time?

Lazy days drift by
Like hazy clouds across the sky
Wasted days they all blur into one
And all across this land
Hours of time like flowing sand
Pass as water through the fingers of your hand
Pass as water through the fingers of your hand
Pass as water through the fingers of your hand.

Over The Moon

I’m sure many of you already realise I run an online radio station called Over The Moon. I try and add new tracks regularly and archive old ones. An online friend has spruced up my picture that goes with the station and I’m sure you’ll agree has done a great job.

Over The Moon

Tsunami and Earthquake

After saying it seemed like everything was getting back to normal, the horrendous earthquake and biblical resulting tsunami hit Japan with such horrific results.

Apart from the appalling human consequences for those involved and affected, for me personally it brought back terrible memories of the 2004 tsunami off Thailand when my son was actually over there when it struck.

Not knowing if your loved one has survived is one of the most horrendous experiences but for me led to positive changes in my life. I wrote Full Circle as a result of that tsunami, it changed my life and became the title track of my first album.

Full Circle

It is so extraordinary how an event terrible or wonderful somewhere else in the world can inspire a tune, poem or painting that can in turn change your own life.

I can’t stop thinking about those poor people in Japan and their relatives.

Getting Back To Normal

Life is getting back to normality again after a very difficult few weeks of illness (Peter and then me), bereavement and finally some unpleasant things that have happened where we live including a frightening late night drama needing the police which I can’t write about here due to privacy of someone concerned!!

I’m in Bristol for a few days after having had a brilliant weekend drumming in Birmingham and I’m also going to go to Manchester for the weekend by train on a family visit which will hopefully be a chance for us all to talk about some of the things that have been happening.

Thankfully for Peter and me personally things are going well and we are very excited and looking forward to our big day on May 1st then moving back to Bristol and a great summer in prospect of festivals, workshops and musical happenings and hopefully starting recording at last.

So – I think everything’s back on track again – fingers crossed that we’ve had our share of trauma for this year and can get on with our lives again.
