Just a shadow of your former self, there’s no air for the flame in your soul. You’ve got to see you can fight this. Just take a breath and ignite it, and you’ll feel love, fill your lungs just gotta believe. So come and rest your head on me, if you’re feeling low, cos I can’t bear to find you falling on your own. I’ll do anything if I see the signs. You deserve to shine with a blinding light. So come and rest your head on me if you’re feeling low. There’s a cloud as black as night in your mind but I’ll, do everything I can, to help you find gold, linings of gold. You’ve got to see you can fight this. Just take a breath and ignite it, and you’ll feel love, fill your lungs just gotta believe. So come and rest your head on me, if you’re feeling low, cos I can’t bear to find you falling on your own. I’ll do anything if I see the signs. You deserve to shine with a blinding light. So come and rest your head on me if you’re feeling low. But you’ve got to see you can fight this. I’m telling you you can fight this. You’re strong enough to ignite it, if you can believe. So come and rest your head on me, if you’re feeling low (feeling low), cos I can’t bear to find you falling on your own. I’ll do anything if I see the signs. You deserve to shine with a blinding light. So come and rest your head on me if you’re feeling low (low). So come and rest your head on me if you’re feeling low.

'Burning' I wanna love you, feel the fire in your skin you strike the match that lights the furnace within No I can’t take it, my pulse is racing. Girl you got me going insane, I can’t fake it my cool is melting away. Caught in the heat of the moment. Lost in a fever of love. You got me, you got me burning up. Can’t fight the feeling that, you got me you got me burning up, and I just can’t get enough. I wanna touch you now, feel the temperature rise. Let’s get addicted and forget this space and time. I can’t take it the heat is thrilling me, got to get you into my life. No i can’t hide it. My inhibitions are falling, i’m falling. Deep in the heat of the moment. Lost in a fever of love. You got me, you got me burning up. Can’t fight the feeling that you got me you got me burning up. Caught in the heat of the moment. Lost in a fever of love. You got me you got me burning up, and I just can’t get enough. You got me, you got me burning up. Can’t fight the feeling that you got me you got me burning up, and I just can't get enough.

I'm about to break, seems a thousand lines of traffic signs are more than I can take. And I've been at a loss, I thought that a rolling stone was never supposed to gather no moss. Constantly in motion, I forgot to live it for myself. So caught up in every single moment, but now I'm lighting up. 'Cause there's a fire in my soul I gotta learn to let it glow. There's a fire in my soul Gotta go it alone Gotta 'be the change' I'll spend all my time collecting lines to fill up this page. Breathing in the space, I finally cut the rope that keeps on choking all my days away. Constantly in motion, I forgot to live it for myself. So caught up in every single moment, but now I'm lighting up. 'Cause there's a fire in my soul I gotta learn to let it glow. There's a fire in my soul Gotta go it alone, go it alone Constantly in motion, I forgot to live it for myself. So caught up in every single moment, gonna go it alone, go it alone. There's a fire in my soul I gotta learn to let it go There's a fire in my soul Gotta go it alone

'Talk to Me' I’ve been waiting by the phone, cos I know that when you call. I’ll get you alone. I’ll get you alone. You’ll be safer in this place, And I can’t wait to share my name, And give all of my soul to you Together growing old with you. Cos I feel loved. Say my name and I feel loved. Cos darling when you talk to me. you know that I’m in ecstasy. And I feel loved. And now i’m trying to hold my breath. With my arm behind your head. Darling I’m in ecstasy. When you’re sleeping next to me. And I’m scared to wake you up. Cos the way you look’s enough. To ask if you will marry me. Darling will you marry me. Cos I feel loved. Say my name and I feel loved. Cos darling When you talk to me. you know that I’m in ecstasy. Cos I feel loved. Like the river feeds the sea Know that you, are all that I will need. Cos I feel loved. Say my name and I feel loved. Say my name cos when you talk to me. You know that I’m in ecstasy. Cos I feel loved. Come on baby bring me up. Cos when you talk to me. Darling I’m in ecstasy. And I feel loved. I feel loved.

about

I hope you enjoy the fruits of what has been a thoroughly enjoyable recording experience over the past few months! The EP was recorded between February and April at the brilliant Studio 91 in my hometown of Newbury. Getting the chance to rework some of my songs in an acoustic fashion and also giving The Cardigans a go was an absolute blast. Shout out to the gentlemen that have made this possible Sam Winfield (Production, Mixing, Mastering) Tom Millar (Percussion and Engineering) Giles Stelfox (Cajon).
