Army Dreamers - Kate Bush, intimate piano / vocal cover 💔

This is my favourite Kate Bush song and it used to haunt me as a kid. Trying to master playing the theme from the intro under verse 2 - not easy! Also tricky to sing the male backing vocals and lead in the chorus 😬

Black Hole Sun - intimate piano / vocal cover, Chris Cornell, Soundgarden

It’s pouring with rain and I am reflecting on the impact this song, the vocals and video had on me as a teen. Rest in peace Chris Cornell x

For the Birds - original dark-folk fable

What is this

This waking curse

I called to the spirits

I called for the nurse

What is this

This unheard verse

If I can’t hold onto a melody

Shall I leave it for the birds

“Ravens are the birds I'll miss most when I die. If only the darkness into which we must look were composed of the black light of their limber intelligence. If only we did not have to die at all. Instead, become ravens.”

Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum

My dark-folk album DARK NATURE drops today (Halloween) 🎶 ethereal singing, haunting melodies, baroque piano. Recorded raw & live in one take through vintage 70’s mics, a 1971 Yamaha U1 upright piano and 100% analogue recording.

Wooden Girl - the 2nd track from my album DARK NATURE,

‘Now my body is hollow

Who’s soul could I borrow

Fixed eyes like blackened pearls

I am not real I am a wooden girl’

This song is for everyone who has experienced bullying. It strips you of who you are, steals your light and erodes your soul. To my younger self who experienced bullying, “There is nothing wrong with you, I love you, and some day this will all make sense”.

‘One day it happened that the father was going to the fair, and he asked his two stepdaughters what he should bring back for them.

“Beautiful dresses,” said the one.

“Pearls and jewels,” said the other.

“And you, Cinderella,” he said, “what do you want?”

I’ve always wanted to go to the ball (true story) and had a ball dressing up on this shoot for my album DARK NATURE.

As The World Falls Down - Labyrinth, intimate piano / vocal cover. My heart aches singing this as I love it so much and still can’t get over the loss of David Bowie. I’ll be releasing it on all streaming platforms in the New Year. Stay tuned!
