Reasons 04:55
lyrics

It's just another one of those days, Playing all the same old games. It's just the same old cycle Going around in circles It's just another one of those days, Wondering how long I will stay this way, Allowing you to hurt me I'm begging you not to hurt me It's just another one of those nights, Wondering how long I will fight. I'm going around in circles Doing the same old cycle Here we are again, It's driving me 'round the bend I won't let you hurt me No, I won't let you hurt me Give me one good reason why I should stay, Letting me think of myself this way Give me one good reason to feed the lie, Just let me open up my eyes (I'll open up my eyes) Just another tick of the time bomb, Wondering if it will take long. I'm waiting for you to see, Just how little I think of me Here we are again, Playing the same old games Allowing you to hurt me But now I'm tired of hurting So give me one good reason why I should stay Letting me think of myself this way Give me one good reason to feed the lie Just let me open up my eyes (Again) Here we are again Playing the same old games (Again) It's driving me 'round the bend, It's driving me 'round the bend. Here we are again Playing the same old games, It's driving me 'round the bend, It's driving me 'round the bend. So give me one good reason why I should stay Letting me think of myself this way Give me one good reason to feed the lie Just let me open up my eyes Give me one good reason why I should stay Letting me think of myself this way I won't let you hurt me No, I won't let you hurt me again...

There's something about words that you choose, You're playing a game, You think you can't lose. There's something about fights that you pick, There's a bias inside, That you won't admit 'Cause I got a feelin' that you're not seeing The whole picture And I got a feelin' that you'll be refusing The whole picture (Again) You're so keen to place all of your cards, In a line Out on the table But there's a lot out in this world, That even you, Could not handle And I got a feelin' that you're not seeing The whole picture And I got a feelin' that you'll be refusing The whole picture (Again) The whole picture The whole picture And you won't commit 'Cause you can't admit You could be so much better And you won't commit 'Cause you can't admit Why won't you do better? Why won't you do better? Yeah, I got a feelin' that you're not seeing The whole picture And I got a feelin' that you'll be refusing The whole picture (Again) I got a feelin' that you're not seeing (You could be so much better) The whole picture And I got a feelin' that you'll be refusing (You could be so much better) The whole picture And you won't commit 'Cause you can't admit Why won't you do better?

I sense a sadness in your soul, It's a pain that I have always known I'll be a light out in the darkness I can show you the way home I'll be your guiding light I'll be your guiding light I hope that you can forgive me, And beside me you will stand I can be a light out in the darkness Darling just take my hand (Whenever you're lost) I'll be there by your side (And whenever you cry) I'll be there to dry your eyes (However you feel) I'll be there to hold you (And whatever you say) I'll be your guiding light I can see you in the darkness There's a sadness in your soul I can be your catharsis I can show you the way back home (oooh) I'll be your guiding light (oooh) I'll be your guiding light (Whenever you're lost) I'll be there by your side (And whenever you cry) I'll be there to dry your eyes (However you feel) I'll be there to hold you (And whatever you say) I'll be your guiding light (oooh) I'll be your guiding light (oooh) I'll be your guiding light (Whenever you're lost) I'll be there by your side (And whenever you cry) I'll be there to dry your eyes (However you feel) I'll be there to hold you (And whatever you say) I'll be your guiding light I'll be there by your side I'll be there to dry your eyes I'll be there to hold you I'll be your guiding light (Whenever you're lost) I'll be your guiding light (And whenever you cry) I'll be your guiding light (However you feel) I'll be your guiding light (And whatever you say) I'll be your guiding light

Something (Is Stopping Me) 03:49

Whenever you look at me, Do you forget all that you believed? Did you think it would be the same, Every time you played the devil's game? I can't take this any more I can't take this any more When you walk through the night I hope you find the light So don't be scared of the dark, Come play with the sharks Tonight Do you think I'm always to blame Every time you make me feel ashamed? 'Cause how can I be free, When I always walk with a key? I can't take this any more I can't take this any more So... When you walk through the night I hope you find the light So don't be scared of the dark, Come play with the sharks Tonight I can't take this any more Come repent your sins, And you might just win Tonight Let me cleanse your soul So I'll feel whole Tonight Come repent your sins, And you might just win Tonight When you walk through the night I hope you find the light So don't be scared of the dark, Come play with the sharks Tonight I can't take this any more [Funky lil solo] Come with me tonight, I'll show you the light When you walk through the night I hope you find the light So don't be scared of the dark, Come play with the sharks Tonight (When you walk through the night...) I can't take this any more (So don't be scared of the dark...) I can't take this any more I can't take this any more

about

This EP sort of documents my time before, during and coming out of bereavement therapy.
I actually began writing these songs during lockdown in 2020. I was in bed listening to John Carpenter's "Alive After Death" and became somewhat obsessed with it... and then 'Reasons' was born, and the rest is history.

It's been a real learning curve writing, recording and editing this EP. I usually write my own songs, record them at home on my laptop and then create all of my own artworks for my music and it is usually very much a 'solo' endeavour. To be able to record pieces of work I was already quite proud of and turning them into pieces of work I could be SO EXCITED to release into the world, has been a daunting, challenging but exciting experience.

I really hope you enjoy the EP as much as I enjoyed working with my friends to make it the experience it is <3

Special Thanks To:

Joe Wright at Hillside Studios for Producing, Mixing and Mastering this EP (Backing vocals also feature on 'Reasons').

To my cousin Lottie, who sang so beautifully on 'Guiding Light' - The world deserves to hear her voice!

To my family, but most of all my dad. I would not be the musician/artist I am today without him.



...Oh and my therapist 'cause I wouldn't have written half of this without him lol
