englishweight: I wrote and recorded this for my 5th release under Merry Eiffel Tower High which I’ve been doing sporadically since I was 18. I don’t take it too seriously mainly because my ability to write songs and lyrics greatly outweighs my ability to play them. This song I wanted to have a country feel. It’s about being jealous of your friends because they have the courage and determination...

While I’m doing that I try to press...

Ways to get through a day at work:
Tea x a million. Biscuits Looking at my phone less and less discreetly as the day goes on LUNCH - Today it was a left over chicken and stuffing sandwich.  Reading my book (currently Jurassic Park) and listening to music and pretending I haven’t heard the worst of all questions “What are you reading?” Doodling 3D shapes and other assorted rubbish pictures. Going outside for...

Song by Allen Ginsberg.
I’ve been reading Howl, this is my favourite. The weight of the world       is love.  Under the burden       of solitude,  under the burden       of dissatisfaction       the weight,  the weight we carry       is love.  Who can deny?       In dreams  it touches       the body,  in thought       constructs  a miracle,       in imagination  anguishes       till born  in human—  looks...
