    My time alone during the first lockdown gave me a chance to really think about why I write and perform in the first place. I took this opportunity to step back and think about how to present my songs in the purest way possible without access to big studios or even the rest of the band. That’s where the concept for this acoustic EP came from. All of the songs feature one guitar and one vocal; the way they were written. This limited edition of the EP now features my award winning song "Love Like This" as a bonus track.

lyrics

Good morning my friend
How long has it been?
I hope you’re alright.
How old is your son?
How tall he’s become
I take it he’s fine, now

Well, I’m glad that you called
I’m glad I was in
We can talk for a while
How did it turn out
The guy you were with
Does he still make you smile?

I’ve been thinking a lot
about where we end up, all
The hope we hold on to
When things start to topple
The roads that we choose
While we try not to lose
our dignity

So I’ll say it again
with a smile and a grin
I’ll be louder than ever
It’s now, now or never
You take what your given
Make sure that your living
Your best version of life

How far did you go?
Did you make it to Spain?
Did you find your new life?
I saw that you did
A share or a like
You see stuff sometimes

You seam just the same
Except your last name
I like how it sounds
Well, take care of yourself
You know where I am
If you want to reach out

I’ve been thinking a lot
about where we end up, all
The hope we hold on to
When things start to topple
The roads that we choose
While we try not to lose
our dignity

So I’ll say it again
with a smile and a grin
I’ll be louder than ever
It’s now, now or never
You take what your given
Make sure that your living
Your best version of life
Your best version of life
