Be The Change

An anthem about changing ourselves before it’s too late…

A song to myself and everyone around to try to fix ourselves and our world.

The title was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi

Summer

A song to try to evoke the feeling of summers from my childhood whilst dreaming of the chance of finding new love…

Turn Back the Clock

Heartbreak can be all about sad soft songs or in this case, a rock ‘n roll anthem to give you the chance to howl your feelings at the moon! Spectacular lead guitar from Norbert Schek.

The Night Emmylou Sang

A tribute to Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons, and the memory of following her band around the UK in 75… Additional lead vocals by Jodi Johnson-Dublon.

The Beat of Life

Another let’s fix the world song. Well come on, let’s fix it. Why not start by listening to the beat of life inside you?

Till Your Tears Have Gone

A love song from the past.

Beautiful

Inspired by the struggles of two people close to me who were dealing with mental illness and PTSD, but somehow applies to us all.

2:30

So I couldn’t sleep one night and instead of whingeing, I wrote a song about it. Sleep well.

River

The oldest song on the album, written when I was 19 – about meditation and the power of love.

The Truth

Well in these terrible times, the Truth is what we need. A song about my love for my children and for all of our families. Additional lead vocals by Bee Dublon.

Love is the Secret

30 years in the making and written with the help and inspiration of Sandi Grant, this is our theme song. A love song to you, to me, to all of us and to the universe…

Homeless

Homelessness is an aberration that should not exist in even our current messed up society. And combined with refugee tragedies and social disintegration, it is the end product of our lack of care for each other. We have to end this heartless and unnecessary situation.

Additional lead vocals by Bee Dublon.

Fork in the Road

A song about some big changes in my life. Additional lead vocals from Dani Blue.

Country Girl

The Girl With the Rain in her Eyes

A love song to the universe. Thanks for all the fish!

How to Love

Another romantic story song; getting out of town and starting again. Sounds good huh? Additional lead vocals from Dani Blue.

Last Night I Thought I Saw an Angel

Written when I was but 19 years old, this is both a dream and an experience.

Can you see the soul in me?

I’m So Proud

Written for my eldest daughter and my new son-in-law’s wedding, this is my song of love for both of them.

Change Everything

A very important song for me – we need to change everything and get back to feeling the One Love. You know it’s true.

Be With You

A love song to end them all and finish the album.

I feel like me again.
