    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

Move with the water
Gotta set yourself free
I’m only being honest
I think you might need
To let yourself go
To let yourself go

Soar like a bird
With a baby to feed
I feel your hesitation
But I think you might need
To let yourself go
To let yourself go

And “I don’t wanna talk about it”
Is what you always say to me so
When we gonna talk about it
I know it’s what you need

Just aim a little bit higher
Just talk a little bit louder
Just take it little by little
Little by little
Just go a little bit further
Just fight a little bit harder
Just take it little by little

Bored with he world
Cause you always get hurt
Drawn to the fire
But your bound to get burned
You need to let go
You’ve got to let go

Always “gonna try it”
But you never set sail
Take a deep breath
cause you might not fail
You need to let go
You’ve got to let go

And “I don’t wanna talk about it”
Is what you always say to me so
When we gonna talk about it
I know it’s what you need

Just aim a little bit higher
Just talk a little bit louder
Just take it little by little
Little by little
Just go a little bit further
Just fight a little bit harder
Just take it little by little

I mean everything that I said
Don’t you even doubt it
Let yourself believe
I see everything you could be
Everything you should be
Let yourself believe

Just aim a little bit higher
Just talk a little bit louder
Just take it little by little
Little by little
Just go a little bit further
Just fight a little bit harder
Just take it little by little
Little by little
