about

I'm so excited to share my next single.

'The Reverie'

This is released 17th December which just so happens to be my birthday.

I'll be turning 40 this year and I wanted to release a song with intention. A song that states 'this is where I was when I changed decades'.

'I AM THE NOW, NOT THE MEMORY. I AM ALIVE INSIDE YOUR REVERIE'

It was recorded, mixed and mastered with lhAudio over a day and half in late Nov 2023 and I learnt a huge amount from this process which I will take into my music moving forward. For one thing, sometimes less is more. But also, sometimes more is more.

As I become more comfortable with my voice and find my own sound I also become more comfortable with myself overall. I fully intend for my 40's to be the best decade of my life so far. I am an artist and just sorry it took me so many years to accept that.

As well as being on all streaming platforms I will be offering this track for free on Bandcamp.

lyrics

I am ‘the now’, not ‘the memory’.
I am alive, inside your reverie.

I am ‘the now’, not ‘the memory’.
I am alive, inside your reverie.

I see the pictures, of the past you lived back then
I see the memories of a life without me when…
the people round you loved you with a certainty
As much as I came to love you with an urgency

When we met we were just friends.
I wasn’t looking for much more.
But you stole my heart and now you are part of everything I do.

I am ‘the now’, not ‘the memory’.
I am alive, inside your reverie.

I am ‘the now’, not ‘the memory’.
I am alive, inside your reverie.


In those moments, where the love would help inform us
It felt as real as life could get, no performance
Candid words and simple songs kept us both connected
This life becoming so much more than we expected.

When we met we were just friends.
But it soon became apparent
That you were my everything, all I was waiting for.

I am ‘the now’, not ‘the memory’.
I am alive, inside your reverie.


Others came and broke my heart and ripped it into pieces.
You picked it up and cleaned it off and stitched it back to life.


I am ‘the now’, not ‘the memory’.
I am alive!!!!
