Backbone 02:57
Get yourself some backbone Give yourself time to think again The feelings you are having You’ve only got yourself yourself to blame Try no to worry Try not to think things through all the time Get yourself some backbone Everything will work out just fine We all get lonely to Don’t you know that we all are lonely to Standing by the river Doesn’t solve the problems that you have The water is deceptive The cleansing of your soul is in your heart Try no to worry Try not to think things through all the time Get yourself some backbone Everything will work out just fine We all get lonely to Don’t you know that we all are lonely to You dreamped last night she was by yourside And the stars were shining bright Dreams you have keep you warm at night Comfort that keeps your world alive We all get lonely to Don’t you know that we all are lonely to

She was the one that said you can do it Keep your head held high let the rain hit your face Gave me a list of things to prove it In a couple of years you will start to see the flame White feather fall before me Protect the path I lead Make sure that I’m not lonely Keep watching over me Morning sun was our background Talk about the things that we never did All the beauty that you showed there Celebrating and talking about the life we lead White feather fall before me Protect the path I lead Make sure that I’m not lonely Keep watching over me Time came to stop all the talking And you drifted of into the evening sun Taking a piece of my heart with you Leaving the faith you had in me to carry on White feather fall before me Protect the path I lead Make sure that I’m not lonely Keep watching over me White feather fall before me Protect the path I lead Make sure that I’m not lonely Keep watching over me

about

In order to move a mountain you start with the stones, this is me moving a few stones! When I entered Loopmaniac studios in September 2012 armed with few songs and an acoustic guitar I had no idea how this ‘recording malarkey’ would go! All I knew was I wanted to get these songs recorded in order to document part of my journey and raise some money for charity.

Here I am now sitting in the studio, it’s now March 2013 and the album will be released in a few weeks. What a journey!! I’ve been blessed in having the best people driving this project forward and ‘making it happen’ its certainly grown with every member of the band contributing and investing in the music in more ways than I could ever imagine.

There are sad songs, there are happy songs and there are even a few with little or no significant meaning, but when welded together create a common thread linking where I was to where I am now!

I would like you to listen to this collection of songs with a tear and a smile and if any of them give some kind of comfort then I’m a happy man.

Lets not forget what this project was all about – Myself and Stuart experienced extreme tragedy when we both lost our beautiful wives Nicola and Ruth to cancer. Their strength and courage have certainly contributed to our ability to carry on and make this all happen. We have been guided every step of the way and we both thank them for that loving direction.
All the money from music sales and gig money will go towards the Nicola Murray foundation and to Sarcoma UK on behalf of Ruth Henderson.

I want to thank the Eastwood band – Ali Ferguson, Gil Allan, Stuart Henderson, Liam Saunders, Eliot Murray, Billy Hunter and the FB Sunday choir ☺ you guys have added your talent and musical ability stamping your style on the music, and not forgetting the talented Mr. Kevin McCollum the photographer…. Who has documented this journey every step of the way. Thank you.

A particular special thanks needs to go to Liam and Stuart, Liam who owns Loopmaniac studios and who has been my musical rock for a number of years has kept this project alive and produced in my view an amazing piece of work – that I thank you my brother. And to Stuart, Stuart and I have walked the same path over the past year and found a common strength that has certainly kept me going. He has also been a collective partner in this project – the three of us have also had a brilliant laugh, which brings a smile to the album!

I hope you buy the album and come to the launch gig, you will have a great time because if you knew Nicola and Ruth you wont have any choice not too!!!! ☺

Lets move more stones together!
