I've been asked by a promoter to explain the lyrics to "Clouds" which i released recently so here goes ...
A few years ago i had a spiritual awakening , i didn't know i had at the time , i didn't know what the hell was happening to me , it leads to you questioning every thing you once believed in , including yourself . Eventually i got help , from a Psychologist who it turns out had experienced the same thing when she was younger , so having drawn a few pictures with a box of crayons , she knew the help i needed wasn't conventional and put me in touch with a soul reader who has written several books about the process , i discovered that i was Clairsentient which basically is a heightened sensitivity to people and surroundings , picking up on the energy of situations and trusting your intuition rather than your thinking , i guess going with what you feel rather than what you think .
Clouds is about letting go of the need to think things , which took me a long time as the world thinks you're weak if you don't know but really the bravest thing you can do sometimes is admit you don't know , stop trying to make sense of everything in your life and just accept it , even if you cannot explain it , things happen for good reasons even if we cannot see that at the time , so out of this came my music , which has really been my love all of my life and the realisation that i had the ability to write songs and share those with people . So i stopped questioning and just decided "to be" sometimes the best way of making sense of things is letting go of the need to make sense of them , why do butterflies fly , they just do ...... these are the lyrics below , i hope you enjoy and thanks for reading .
I wander lonely skies
Walk through a cloud of dreams
I wander crowded streets
No one knows where i've been
I walk through showers of rain
Way to and back again
I walk through a sea of words
With nothing to be heard
Why nothing ain't right , why nothing ain't right , why nothing ain't right , why nothing ain't right , why nothing ain't right , why nothing ain't right
Bye bye oh so long , bye bye , bye bye
Bye bye oh so long , bye bye , bye bye
Butterflies fly , why do butterflies fly , why do butterflies fly , fly fly fly
I swim along this stream , in colour coded dreams
I see that you see me
Set free eternally
Where no one dares to be
Why nothing ain't right , why nothing ain't right , why nothing ain't right , why nothing ain't right , why nothing ain't right , why nothing ain't right
Bye bye oh so long , bye bye , bye bye
Bye bye oh so long , bye bye , bye bye
Butterflies fly , why do butterflies fly , why do butterflies fly , fly fly fly , fly fly fly
Aaah , aaah , aah , aah
Bye bye , bye bye
Aaah aah aah aah , aah aah aah aah , aah aah aah aah
