So I wrote a new song in this last week that I’m pretty pumped to play at my show on Sunday night. I thought before it makes its world debut, I might post the lyrics up here just as a bit of a precursor.
.
TO LOVE SOMEONE
Any man can build a home organising wood and stone
Fill it with a hundred things, rule it all and be the king
And we all need a place to lay our head when days are long
But to love someone, when you love someone
That’s where you belong
.
Some will say you need to find the common men who share your mind
Others say to hide yourself; protect your heart above all else
And we all like to find our place with who is right or wrong
But to love someone, when you love someone
That’s where you belong
.
And lately I’ve begun to find
That home is harder to define
I’ll take my dwelling for a time within a lonely song
But to love someone, to really love someone
That’s where I belong

Welcome to my brand new tumblr. I’m learning how this thing works. In the meantime, have a photo of me looking out a window to symbolise my anticipation at the brand new world of tumblr.
