    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

Close your eyes my dear
The night time is falling
Let your mind reset
Your body keep growing

When the sun comes up
You can rise gently calling
But let your parents sleep
At least till the morning

Daniel

You were born in a world
That can scare us sometimes
But the truth is it always gets better
And the more that we know
Makes it harder to fall
But the truth is it always gets better
And it starts with you

Treat your mother right
Your father adores her
Don’t grow up too quick
Your childhood’s important
Keep your promises
To those who afford them
Make your parents proud
And tell them you love them

Daniel

You were born in a world
That can scare us sometimes
But the truth is it always gets better
And the more that we know
Makes it harder to fall
But the truth is it always gets better
And it starts with you

And all
Through the life we lead
We’ll make family
Out of friends
And you know
That for you and me
We’ll be family
Till the end

Daniel

You were born in a world
That can scare us sometimes
But the truth is it always gets better
And the more that we know
Makes it harder to fall
But the truth is it always gets better
And it starts with you
