Hello fellow travellers. Firstly accept my apology for the lack of meaningful contact over recent months. I am sure you have all had your own commitments and challenges to deal with in our ever eventful world, but I have genuinely missed our regular contact. FB is becoming slightly too frantic to ensure the mutually supportive interaction that characterised our numerous PM experiences, so I thought it time to set up a personal website so that I can keep you abreast of things, and filter out any unnecessary 'noise' from the echo chambers of big corp social media that may not be in the spirit of love and shared expression that we hold so dear.
You may or may not be aware that I have been writing a lot over the past months. This has included poetry, fiction and life writing as well of course as new songs. I am now at the stage where I can start sharing some of these workings with you, to gauge your enthusiasm firstly for a potential new music project. I therefore intend to share a new song with you via this blog every few days. These will be in varying early stages of development, so try to make allowance for them being very much demos/ideas and stripped-back, not the sort of polished all bells and whistles album recordings they will hopefully become should you wish to nominate them for inclusion on a new album project.
I think the Perplexed Music album was a wonderfully inclusive experience that complimented the short film beautifully. I enjoyed working with you all and the various guest artists. I would like to try to do something similar in terms of inviting you to join me in creating the project in our likeness, so that what we end up with something we feel personally invested in that we can celebrate.
So without further ado, here's a soft-hearted ditty to start.
Let me know what you think...
Love and light,

Thinking About You
I'm thinkin' 'bout you
thinkin’ ‘bout you
thinkin’ ‘bout you
Many times I've called your name through fallen tears
never far from our years
Every time I sense your trace upon the breeze
it keeps alive your memory
I still hear you laughing
I see you in my dreams
I can’t stop…
Thinking about you.
I’m thinkin’ ‘bout you
thinkin’ ‘bout you
thinkin’ ‘bout you
Thinkin' how never gifted to receive
you never asked for nothin’
Thinkin' how you gave me back a joie de vivre
you figured out my reason
I would give ten lifetimes
to dance with you again
I can’t stop…
Thinking about you
I’m thinkin’ ‘bout you
thinkin’ ‘bout you
thinkin’ ‘bout you
