We all have a side that we keep locked away, but I have never known you to be anything but positive and selfless…and I’ve known you a while. But being able to write music and lyrics that describe that positive transformation takes skill.

If you could capsulate the essence of this song for me to swallow thrice daily (w/o prescription and no tariffs) that would be most excellent.

Love your work, matey.
Thanks Lee. Glad you liked the musical elements that reflect my influences and interests. We all stand on the shoulders of giants, or in my case, I’m skittering around their ankles.

‘Negative’ is probably a poor word choice on my part - pessimistic might be better. This stemmed from a lack of confidence that emerged in my teen years through to late twenties. I used humour to cover it up, and probably still do. It was probably an internal thinking thing more than expressed, but might have been seen by others as being ‘quiet’. Thank you for your kind and generous words!
Andrew
