I don’t know how it feels Cause I don’t live in your part of the world I know it’s not ideal Oh but nothing is forever my girl See, I’m a dreamer Oh for love it is all in the name I’m a believer, You may be far away, But you’re thinking the same, oh

(x2) I close my eyes and I picture us together I hope you know That I’ll be waiting here for you my love On this New York City coast

I wanted to re-post this live version of one of my favourite songs. I think it’s absolutely beautiful.

Honey, I told you That these things never last And one of these days, now You'll start dreaming of the past When life was once too short For all the things we'd do And the shots we'd call And endless summer without a fall When promises were meant to keep And night time wasn't meant for sleep A love story at it's peak Doesn't it feel good To know that you've been loved And doesn't it make you Laugh when you think of The day when we all got lost On the old man's farm Just trying to get across It was only then I knew what love was Sunday mornings that never ended And hangovers that never mended A love story at it's peak

Counting days, I'm walking backwards Shameless truth took me flying Eat my pills, I'm sure it won't break me apart I hold my head up 

Love can change, why wouldn't you recall The golden chance is based on bigger things I will lay my eyes on Take me with you unknowing

You can show me how to be in control In time I'll catch up Sweetest dream I'm cured, A work of art Far away now, I feel the distance

An orchestral track with a sneaky build-up. I'd say a mix between "To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra" and "The Sad Song by Fredo Viola" with a slight touch of electro.

Latest music from Jack Garratt. It takes quite a different turn once you listen to it. Also, it has clapping hands in it. And, I love clapping hands.

Oh I am bold as brass posing as gold  You can shine me all you want  But I am hard as I am cold  To know your faults, to know yourself  I suit me well

She'll come to me in a dream And I don't even know her name A pretty mark upon her breast To signify her from the rest But her and I are just the same Building bridges outta faith She stands upon a dinner plate And tells me that I'll have to wait

(Oooh, Wait for me) I know it won't be easy What a thing To believe In a dream

Perhaps I knew her long ago I wrote her poems at nine years old But then I did become a man The letter slipped right through my hands Practiced all my wit and charm Had many girls on every arm I learned the depths of love and hate But never did learn how to wait

In 2008 at aged 18, with an ignited confidence after winning the ‘Youth Music’ National competition, Preston-born Singer/songwriter, Mike Dignam independently wrote, recorded and released his debut EP ‘World of Our Own’. 

The release was the catalyst for the growth of an army of fans. Engaged with Mike’s music and journey they supported him as he was invited to perform at ‘Rock in the Park’ alongside JLS, Tiao Cruz and Mr. Hudson, embarked on a UK tour with Gabrielle Aplin and fuelled the release of his second offering; a live acoustic EP.

I love you no matter what, theres nothing that could stop me You tied my heart in a knot controlled the life I've got without knowing  How am I supposed to breathe when you don't care If I am alive, or I just drop dead? How am I supposed to lie in this cold bed when You've gone and left me powerless? Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/track/7AbNysr5k1gKLbPPRvyxAl

Probably my favorite song of 2011/2012. The lyrics are absolutley fantastic, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

She's a gambler spinning wheels A poison victim but look of steel The coldest heart's you've ever felt The coldest hands you've ever held

Taking down on her way A million miles, still no headway As I learn to live long In his mind I'm proud to roam

She's elusive and I'm awake You're finally real, there's nothing fake A mystery now to me and you Open my eyes and I'm next to you He said my destiny lies in the hands that set me free

Handsome reader reads through the dappled shadows Light was pouring down upon the stepping stones Felt like morning coming for his throne I don’t know why But it looked like a tiger striped sky...

Half the world was pulling on his colors As nights turned into day to the hours A glow was coming down, coming down I don’t know why But if felt like a tiger striped sky
