Hey everyone! here's a new track that I wanted to share, (lyrics are below), It was recorded as a Live Recording with Video as well (full video will be uploaded to my facebook: Blackened Strat next week sometime)

I've had this song in written form for a while but wasn't quite sure if was finished yet. It's a rather personal tale, it all started about a year ago:

As a house engineer for a local venue (venue has sadly closed it doors at the time of writing) I often spent whole 8-10 hour day long sessions setting up, engineering, running things ¬ loved it too I may add. Me and my partner take turns seeing each other every fortnight, alternating between homes and one particular weekend whilst he came to stay with me I had one of these engineering jobs and so he stayed here at home while i disappeared for work for the day. It was one of those days where things were not running smooth, as a music graduate, guitarist, singer-songwriter, I feel i know my way around a stage fairly okay but today I was just spending so much time in the booth at the back of the room, fighting to keep competent sound levels between musicians. One particular guitar's just wasn't for accepting the fact his amp was just too darn loud and understanding that the amp mic is for most of the heavy lifting (thus giving me options to control more sound) he stormed off the stage and came in my personal space to tell me these following words "well yeah?, how about, when you become a guitarist you'll understand more" coupled with the ongoing writers block I had at the time It made me contemplate everything and thus this song was born a few days after.

Lyrics:

Standing alone at the back of the room

The sound, the lights, the stage it grows

And I'm wondering why, i've been left behind

And I wonder why I've been left here

Should I lay down and cry and scream all night to be heard

All the egos that thrive, the challenges inside, the battles that survive

plaguing the nights, again and again

good for them, but who gives a shit about me?

And here I stand alone

And all i want is to come home to you

once more

Maybe i'll write again

And then ile be among my friends

Riding along on the waves

With those words we use

Let me in, i want fly again

Should I write a song?

Should I play along?

Should I hold on? where I belong again

In the world i'm in on my own terms

until the time has come

Where the game must close

And that i'm at one with myself

At home

Again, with my friend
