about

This was actually the first song written and for ages I was a little worried that it just wasn't going to fit. This is the only track on the album to use high-hat and snare samples for example.

I wrote this one as an homage to early reggae- that beautiful steady plod. Tunes like Uptown top ranking have just been so fantastic for so long- how can anyone tire of hearing them!?

I wrote this one trying to reflect those styles- like the twinkle brothers 'faith can move mountains' or the Donna and Althea tune mentioned.

Lastly, I was thrilled to slot the music around the syllables of "inevitability" - I had quite a bit of satisfaction with that!

Thanks if you've read through this- I really appreciate the opportunity to share my music!

lyrics

If you run from what you've done then you will always run
If you hide from what's inside, then you will never rest.
There is an inevitability,
All things must come to the light.

So quick to shine a light upon another,
too fast to force the truth out from your brother,
There is an inevitability,
All things must come to the light.

and so throughout the course of history,
dark deeds of men have become known.
No matter how much they would stifle them,
the truth was always driven home.

So quick to cast the reckless glance and go,
So quick the dangerous dagger in the dark,
There is an inevitability,
All things must come to the light.

Say what you mean,
Mean what you say.
It will come out for all it won't just go away
