Over winter 2018 here in the UK approx 39 people have died living on the streets. While the rich get richer, more people are in trouble every day, and the poor get poorer.
As we watched daily on news bulletins about people being on the streets I began to think about how I could do something to highlight this ridiculous situation in this day and age..
The outcome was to write an album about someone who becomes homeless! if it just highlights this situation to one person then it’s done it’s job…
Most of the tracks are recorded as of May 2018, just 2 to do (Although my real work!! is very busy right now, so slowing things down a bit) but I have released a couple of tracks from it and also created a lyric video on YouTube for one of the tracks..
Just A Little Say – The opening track from the album, our main character is already on the streets living, he lives with people ignoring him, and finally he thinks about how he has ended up here…
On The Streets – (i) Street Chaos (ii) 6th Year (iii) Empty Pockets
Our characters firs night on the streets, what happens, where should he go? then 6 years later still i the same situation….
My Bell Tolls (i) Ripples (ii) Under The Bridge
This track is from towards the end of the album, our character is not long for the world, he’s alone still, this is a lyric video on YouTube.
please share/like/tweet if you agree with the lyrics of these tracks. hopefully the full album will be out soon….keep you posted…
