Bio
I'd say I'm folklore. I live to dream and enjoy playing music that makes people forget whatever it is they don't want to remember. With such an abstract subject like music I'd say it's all about the escapism you feel when you listen to it. All the great singers have that quality. They don't just create sound, they remove it too. They draw it straight out of the room and really keep you in this kind of state where you're jut listening. Some people I can be listening too and think "wow this person is really good" but they're never really good, they just sound good. But The singer's who are great, well can make you think of nothing because you don't want to think of anything. It's just like meditating, I guess. I can't really meditate that well though. I know why, It's because I dwell too much. I try not to dwell too much, but I dwell a lot for someone my age and most of the time when I'm doing it I'm also wishing that I'd just stop dwelling and do something, anything. I can't help it though. Like when you miss a person or a situation. They're all you think about because you're trying so hard not to miss them and you just want to move on. I'm not depressed or anything I just enjoy analysing things and understanding how they work. I play a few instruments and I've worked a lot of boring old jobs to keep me going, so I guess I don't really "live to dream" but perhaps only "dream to live." I think dreams are like messages and sometimes you just have to hear them whether they're good or bad. Your life can be going great and then you have this one bad dream and suddenly you start thinking about everything. You wonder if you take it all for granted or how long are things gonna be good for? It's all nonsense though.

Influences
"May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night and a smooth road all the way to your door." ~ Irish Blessing "What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do." ~ Bob Dylan "When the punk thing came along and I heard my friends saying, I hate these people with the pins in their ears. I said, Thank God, something got their attention." ~ Neil Young "I never felt magic crazy as this I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea I never held emotion in the palm of my hand Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree But now you're here Brighten my northern sky." ~ Nick Drake ''Something strangely familiar about where I am I'm sitting next to the man with the unsteady hands He says, 'How are you son? Where you been all week?' I recognise his voice even in my sleep" ~ Scott Matthews "Each strand of her hair Is really insect eyes And each hole in her tongue Is always occupied By the milk of the sun" ~ Davendra Banhart "I listen to my words but They fall far below I let my music take me where My heart wants to go" ~ Yusuf Islam "By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls There's a hidden door she leads you to These days, she says, I feel my life Just like a river running through The year of the cat" ~ Al Stuart "I've fucking dropped my stick." ~ John Martyn

They say true love only comes around once and you have to hold out and be strong until then. I have been waiting. I have been searching. I am a man under the moon, walking the streets of earth until dawn. There's got to be someone for me. It's not too much to ask. Just someone to be with. Someone to love. Someone to give everything to. Someone. ~ Henry Rollins
