Never lookin’ back My greatest joy is giving Most powerful force in life love love love My prize possession awakened within My greatest asset clear diamond light shining so bright You see When one door closes another one opens You take two step forward n'one step back one step back When one door closes another one opens Best foot forward n’don’t look back don't look back don't look back Never lookin’ back never lookin’ back never lookin’ back I can sleep at night I got peace of mind I got my power coz I believe I can You see me smilin’ coz I don't hope and pray Worry doubt n’fear all watched and washed away away away Gone to stay yes gone to stay you see... When one door closes another one opens You take two step forward n'one step back one step back When one door closes another one opens Best foot forward n’don’t look back don't look back don't look back Never lookin’ back When one door closes another one opens You take two step forward n'one step back one step back When one door closes another one opens Best foot forward n’don’t look back don't look back don't look back Never lookin’ back never lookin’ back never lookin’ back I'd rather be straight in at the deep end Than spend my time skating around on the thin ice No slippin’n’slidin’ Gotta make full contact N’that’s a fact that's fact Gotta make full contact N’that’s a fact never lookin’ back When one door closes another one opens Never lookin’ back When one door closes another one opens Never lookin’ back My greatest joy is giving You take two step forward n'one step back one step back Most powerful force in life love love love My prize possession awakened within Never lookin’ back My greatest asset clear diamond light Never lookin’ back Don't look back don't look back Shining so bright Never lookin’ back Most powerful force in life love love love Never lookin’ back Don't look back don't look back Clear diamond light Never lookin’ back...

Guardian Angel Our love is screamin’ out treble n’boomin’ out bass How will the cupid's arrow ever hit the place But it will of that be reassured Like a vintage wine that is well matured Because the longer the wait the better the taste is Patience is a virtue trust a good basis For a stable relationship true and unashamed Love is the drug and you can’t be blamed I will be your guardian angel You can be my guardian angel I’d give you the world if it was mine N’all the sunshine to make you feel so fine In my world where all is free I’d give you sunsets for all eternity Living love free as the dove strong as the lion I give you my my love So take me so care free I will be your guardian angel N’all the colours that you see You can be my guardian angel I would give you if you were here with me I will be your guardian angel N’ as a rose folds in her sleep I would hold you deep inside And live our lives in Dewachen N’dream our dreams in Dewachen… I’d give you the stars n’all that shines Sister moon n’all her dream time Just like honey to the bee You’re essential sweetest ecstasy A river of devotion freely flowIin’ to the ocean join me in a blue sea with a clear sky you and I I will be your guardian angel N’all the colours that you see You can be my guardian angel I would give you if you were here with me I will be your guardian angel N’ as a rose folds in her sleep I would hold you deep inside And live our lives in Dewachen N’dream our dreams in Dewachen…

Borrowed time So complicated Any explanation would be understated Caught up in the thick of it Amidst all my mental trickery Words are clearly not enough To express this kinda stuff By all the words unspoken The spell remains unbroken Misery behind a smile Hidden deep for the while Words are clearly not enough When dealin’ with this kinda stuff Have you been afraid to love Found it hard t’give it up? Have you ever found the one Who lights your life just like the sun? Although their path leads far away Have you ever prayed they’d stay stay stay? Prayed they’d stay prayed they stay Always knowing that today Could be the one they go to stay stay stay Pray they stay... There’s contradiction in this affliction Plays the heart against the mind Living on borrowed time...

about

The first part of a collection of three sets of tracks.

For me these songs are a journal, some is transparent and obvious, some encoded and probably best kept private. It's all true, all real life, all resonate with the memories and experiences which form a few chapters of my life, chapters now well in the past, which formed my present, and will influence my future. To not write these songs and record them would have been impossible for me, I had to do it, it became almost an obsession, and it has taken me down a path far from the main-stream, and ultimately brought me to places - external and internal - where, although at times unbelievably uncomfortable and incredibly strange, are exactly where I should be. Hopefully there are more chapters to come, and hopefully more songs too, the journey is far from over, but the destination is now crystal clear. These songs are not the greatest recordings, and for sure under different circumstances I could have made them far better, but what is key is that I did them to the best of my ability, with what I had available at the time, in amongst all the other things I had to attend to. For me, most important is that they are now out in the world, and my deep wish is that they touch many many people, bringing them some small joy and maybe even some slight insight too. And I wish that these songs help create and enforce positive connections everywhere.

This is by no means a definitive thank you list. So many people have helped me during the recording of these songs, and in so many ways. Some went out of their way to help without me asking, others had no idea they helped, others were there when I asked for their help.

So to begin with deep thanks to everyone not on this list. I will never forget.
