STRIPPED (UNRELEASED)

I spent my early 20s performing solo vocal/piano covers at posh hotels, weddings and events around the UK. While music began for me at the piano, playing covers endlessly left my relationship to the instrument somewhat strained and disconnected. After being invited to perform an acoustic set of original music, I set myself the challenge of transposing Pyramid to the piano. It very much healed what had been broken and I plan to release this (and the others) later in 2026.

PYRAMID

Single

WE'VE BEEN DANCING AROUND. CAN NEVER PUT OUR FINGERS CLOSE. BUT I WENT A JOURNEY. I SWEAR I SAW YOU IN ANOTHER LIGHT. IT WAS DIFFERENT. AND THE CHORDS I HOLD- THREW THEM TO THE ANGELS TO KEEP SAFE. BUT THE WAR BROKE OUT AND I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN WIN AGAIN. IF YOU WANT ME WHY DON’T YOU SAY. IF YOU NEED THIS WHY DON’T YOU SAY. IF YOU WANT ME WHY DON’T YOU SAY. IF YOU NEED THIS WHY DON’T YOU SAY. WHY DON’T YOU SAY? WHEN I FEEL LIKE I DROWN THE WATER TAKES ANOTHER SHAPE. AND THE ENERGY BURNS THROUGH. A PYRAMID THAT CALLS ME UP TO FACE THE NIGHT. IRIDESCENT. AS YOUR CLOUD TURNED GREEN YOU TOOK MY HAND BUT I COULDN’T GO. NO I CAN’T FIGHT YOU COS I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN WIN AGAIN. IF YOU WANT ME WHY DON’T YOU SAY. IF YOU NEED THIS WHY DON’T YOU SAY. IF YOU WANT ME WHY DON’T YOU SAY. IF YOU NEED THIS WHY DON’T YOU SAY. DON’T YOU SAY. WHY DON’T YOU SAY. IF YOU WANT ME WHY DON’T YOU SAY. IF YOU NEED THIS WHY DON’T YOU SAY. PEACE AND LOVE IS ALL WE EVER WANTED. BUT TO FIND THE PEACE IS TO GIVE AWAY LOVE. AND I DON’T KNOW IF I’M THERE YET. BUT YESTERDAY KEEPS BECOMING TODAY. YET SOMEHOW I’M WAITING. I’M ALWAYS WAITING. I DUNNO IF I CAN WIN.
