about

This is the first track I ever recorded in my life. It was recorded in 2002 in Bristol's Channel House and featured the beautiful guitar sounds of Massive Attack's Angelo Bruschini. It became the first track of my first EP 'Barefoot"This track won me both 'UK Songwriter Of The Year' and 'International Songwriter Of The Year' in 2003 and 2004. It was a little faster than I wanted it to be so I never actually released it on an album! But it opened so many amazing doors for me and made me go and find myself the JT Band!

lyrics

Heard your name about a week ago
Seems you're getting it together, so
You're doing fine
And I'm in a mess

Looking over all the things i do
Everything comes back to you
You're doing fine
And I'm still in bed

Bridge
What I did, what I didn't do
What I should have done
Well it's still about you now
And I am not the weakest thread
I'm not scared of what I have left, now

Chorus
But where was my head?
Going insane
And where has it got me
To vow that I'd carry on holding your flame
'Cus you were my life
But what's that all about?
It's time I was blowing this candle out
Blowing this candle out

Verse
Saw you from my windowsill
Floating past on your pedestal
You're looking fine
I need to get dressed

And I don't trust my heart anymore
No idea what I'm looking for
You're doing fine
I'm really not that sure

Bridge
Chorus

And all that I think of
And all that I do
And every little thing
It comes back to you
