about

SPOTLIGHT was written in a 20 minute period in my flat in East London in 2012 about overcoming challenges, abuse & ultimately, like many of my songs, redemption & discovering a better way to live.

The verses are dark & tell the story of the protagonist while the chorus is hopeful, bright & redemptive!

This song is part of my debut EP, WHEN THE SAILS COLLAPSE AS LIVE which is due for release on Friday May 28th.

lyrics

VERSE:

This letter
That I wrote to you
Tells you the things that you’ve done
That I so object to
You’ve lied and you’ve stolen
Raked my name through the mud
Taken my family
We all share the same blood
Get down to your knees
Pray for redemption
My mind’s not weak
You’re my exception

CHORUS:

My love has made me see
There’s more to life than you and me
My love has made me see

VERSE:

I know the bad days are gone
Still can’t tell you to your face
Innocence taken so long ago
The life you left it in it’s place
The partnerships we’ve made can serve to repair
We’re creeping towards old age
There’s no need to despair
You need to make amends right now

CHORUS:

My love has made me see
There’s more to life than you and me
My love has made me see
My love has made me see
There’s more to life than you and me

MIDDLE 8:

Whatever happens between you and I
I’m can say that I’ve survived
Whatever happens between you and I
I’m happy to say that I’m alive

CHORUS/END:

My love has told me
There’s more to life than you and me
My love told me
There’s more to life than you and me
My love has shown me
There’s more to life than you
