about

When a family member at a tender age makes an irreversible mistake.It's not always for the worst. For Alfie

lyrics

I was staring at the son and his light so bright it blinded
How this Icarus collided with adult world 
With a life that’d just begun and my pride upon his sleeve
Things were so hard to believe could this be true?

This chaos is too hard to bear
 Finding it hard to show I care
 Don’t you dare keep it all inside
 This is not about duty, this all about your pride

This song is for the ones who fall

Sometimes the trauma that feels hard to bear
 Will carry you forward to a place you can share
Look back at this chaos with eyes on a prize
You’ll learn to feel privileged whilst you learn to be wise
This chaos is too hard to bear
 Finding it hard to show I care for you
Don’t you dare keep it all inside 
This is not about duty, this all about your pride

This song is for the ones who fall

So the wax upon your wings melted by their sanctions
And their businesslike reactions my dear Icarus 
And the iron fist’s are gone so now Icarus can now move on
And it’s time to say ‘So long’

This chaos is too hard to bear
 Finding it hard to show I care
 Don’t you dare keep it all inside
 This is not about duty, this all about your pride

What you’re sensing, what you felt 
Your fragile wings weren’t supposed to melt
 As you watch them fade from view you should now what to do
Such bad timing that happened but they were thieving your oxygen
Stand up tall now you’ll make it through
 Keep on shining the skies so blue
 Keep on falling
 Keep on shining

Sonder

This is the album I released under my Squirrel alter-ego. It is funky, trancy, rocky and weird. Beck, Chemical Brothers, Oakenfold, BT and Prodigy fans will appreciate it. Joe Adhemar
