about

This summer I had the honour of being invited into The Bunker in Sunderland, legendary studio home of Leatherface, to record a song while out on tour with Goodbye Blue Monday.

What the experience means to me cannot be expressed adequately in words but my gratitude for the privilege knows no bounds. To Graeme Philliskirk, Paul The Hat, Frankie Stubbs, Dickie Hammond (rest in peace) and everyone on The Boat, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Original version appears on the "Broken Strings and Senseless Things" EP (MTAT, 2006).

Recorded live in one take at The Bunker, Sunderland in August 2017.
Recorded by Paul The Hat.
Mixed by Graeme Philliskirk.

lyrics

"Without music, life would be a mistake".
Friedrich Nietzsche
--

"To The Chaos"

I thought we were invincible
All knowing, all powerful.
For the fear of being afraid
while digging my early grave.
4am comes round again,
I hear you knocking at my door.
I know exactly why you're here
That's why I feel so cold.

Beginning in a brand new end
dancing with your fake best friend.
Forgot the fear of being alive
while getting ready for the next life.
It is just a storyline
actors do just what they're told.
Perfection will have to do wait
because I'm already sold

To the chaos
in the soul
It's so hard to fight
when you feel so low.
But fight we will
Fight with soul
In this chaos
It's all we know.

Pretending that you just don't care
You know it's not really fair
when all the people that you love
have just about had enough.
Be prepared if you're feeling scared
Failure is always there.
Look at light in another light
if you're not already sold.

To the chaos
in the soul
It's so hard to fight
when you feel so low.
But fight we will
Fight with soul
In this chaos
It's all we know
