You fill my heart with hope, When everything is wrong You just what to say To make it all okay I know you'll stick around For many years to come I know we'll be alright, We two under the sun 'Cause leaving you behind Was the hardest thing I've ever had to do Here I am, So far away Before you know, I'll be home Not a day goes by Where I don't think of you, So far across the world Like a lonely cockatoo Sometimes I feel despair, And sadness and regret, But never do I feel that I'm alone With you by my side 'Cause leaving you behind Was the hardest thing I've ever had to do Here I am, So far away Before you know, I'll be home I'm grateful for you love, Your laughs and your mistakes You keep me right on track Whenever sadness overtakes And I guess, in the end, Your friends are all you've got They're with you through and through When the whole wide world is not When the whole wild world is not 'Cause leaving you behind Was the hardest thing I've ever had to do

When life is tough, Don't despair I was alone More than I could bear But day by day, Nothing stayed the same Now I can say Everything's okay And for the first time in a while, I feel free and clear of mind And I can see the sky I learned to see Everything In a different light, In a better way And for the first time in a while, I feel free and clear of mind And I can see the sky So I sit here, Not a trace of sadness lingers At peace with myself, Grateful for my fingers Better times do come, You just gotta wait it out I got there, in the end And now it's onwards and upwards And for the first time in my life, I feel free and clear of mind And I can see the sky And for the first time in a while, I feel free and clear of mind And I can see the sky

The rain is like a sheet, With which I sleep My life is the lighter, My hope is the thumb Stranded but content Isolated but free, From the impurity Of the pretending people of the world Dawn to dusk, I just try to live another day All the way, I'm the peaceful castaway

The Leech 02:41
Waiting for the sunlight to come, I linger in the dark The ocean of my soul so deep within, Is this what I must do? The past clings onto me like a leech I cannot let her go And in the night I toss and turn, And every day I wear a mask and say: ''I don't need her'' Another sleepless night, I see her in my dreams

Bagheera 04:17
You stay by my side When I'm lonely, On a rainy day On a rainy day You come in to check If I'm happy, And keep me company And keep me company You sit on my lap, And you look up, Straight into my eyes Straight into my eyes And I am amazed At your purity, And your faith in me, And your faith in me And I need you here with me With me And when will we stop Rushing and worrying and fighting, In our busy lives?
8.
Another day on the way, And I can see that the seasons come and go Another night greets the day, And you remain so lost and far away Can't you see, It was always meant to be As I fly over the sea And the time flies, Farewell July And like a river it flows, Across the plains of our sad and lonely lives Et je t'entendais de loin, Et c'est toi qui m'avais montré le chemin Can't you see, It was always meant to be As I fly over the sea And the time flies, Farewell July Can't you see, It was always meant to be As I fly over the sea And the time flies, Farewell July

Oh, in a lonely airport gate In the early morning cold, Dragons in my heart Are keeping me up Little dreamer boy, Whose bed is the world, And whose door is the sky A thousand years tied To the song of the breeze, I found a cheap guitar And I let her heart cry Oh, in a lonely airport gate In the early morning cold, Dragons in my heart Are keeping me up Oh, I could do anything, The power is mine And the dragons in me, In the caves of my heart, They're chasing the diamonds in you, And I let them all cry out The ink in my pen went dry Til you came along, Like a stream of clouds Santa Lucía was green On that wonderful day, Just coming around Oh, in a lonely airport gate In the early morning cold, Dragons in my heart Just keeping me up Oh, in a lonely airport gate In the early morning cold, Dragons in my heart Just keeping me up

Too many jumpers Never alone when the rain fall from the sky, And on both sides of the mountain, The greyer the skies, the taller the trees And the fire is burning on the hill, The swallow catches the flame, And it flies down to you Too many countries Always alone when the sun is in my hand, And in both our damn cities, The webs just get bigger, but the walls stay the same And the fire is burning on the hill, The swallow catches the flame, And it flies down to you Too much time spent Thinking of you as every cloud rolls in, You're the moon of my nights, So far but so bright in the sky of my life Lointaine mais brillante dans les cieux de ma vie, Lointaine mais brillante dans les cieux de ma vie

Never walking in the rain at night, Loving answers always out of sight, You will feel the winds of love dancing around Your kryptonite, shine overnight Simmering what you have never tried In an empty pan that's made of lies, You are at war with yourself but now you know Your kryptonite, shine overnight Ocean, sky, wind and rain Sometimes it seems like there's just nothing but shame Rivers old, ageless caves Sometimes the time takes all away Always asking what is wrong with you, You don't have to answer, you have no clue We will see the sands of time come crashing down Your kryptonite shines overnight Ocean, sky, wind and rain Sometimes it seems like there's just nothing but shame Rivers old, ageless caves Sometimes the time takes all away Your kryptonite shines overnight

about

The songs of this album have varying recording locations, however most of the tracks were recorded in Cayenne, French Guiana, when I was living there from March - October 2016 (tracks 1-8 & 11).
'Dragons In My Heart' was written and recorded in Santiago, Chile in November 2016, which was the first time I set foot in Chile. The piano track in this song however was recorded back in Cayenne.
'Too Many Jumpers' was also recorded in Chile at that time (Puerto Varas), when I was down in the south.
Finally, 'Your Kryptonite (Shine Overnight)' was written and recorded in Waipu, New Zealand, when on my way back to Australia from South America (my friends Rich and co. were staying at his parent's house in Waipu).
The album describes the great variety of thoughts and feelings I experienced during my time in Cayenne, which was difficult and challenging at times. A major theme I wrote about here is time.
Other themes of the album expand those from 'Dream'; hope, acceptance; but also friendship, love, fantasy, melancholy... the melancholy of places I longer dwell in, my realms of the imagination I go to for escape.
I am particularly proud of this album's cover art-- a photo I took of myself using the timer function on my camera, depicting me on an isolated forest path deep in the Amazonian rainforest close to Saul, French Guiana, sometime in the second half of 2016.

Thanks for listening!
