A few Christmas' back (2020) the world went through a universally bad time. Hey! Mister Santa was a response to that. This year, I decided to write about the birth of Jesus, and in general, the birth of sons. I wrote and began recording this song on 22nd November, and in a very short amount of time I lost both my Dog and my Grandma. This song is not a response, but a capsule in time. I may have fi...

The twelfth and final track on the album "To Be". Lyrics: The 3rd of September’s when you came into my life Right on cue you came, smiling and crying And I held you in my arms.

The eleventh track on the album "To Be". Lyrics: If you need me now to stay, I will do that right away Or if you want me to go, Say the word, I’ll make it so What you wish, I will obey, And if you wish for me today I will heed with haste to you, Hopefully your wish comes true Cus I will spend my time with you That’s what I have time to do I lose my track of time, when there’s time with you Seeing...

The eighth and title track on the album "To Be". Lyrics: To be young, to be free, To be what it is you want to be is All very well and so naive To have fun, to have hair, To be reckless here and everywhere Is all very well if you achieve What you want to be I was young for a time But my love for squash and crackers turned to cheese and wine There’s no use reminiscing on a time long gone Nothing la...

The sixth track on the album "To Be". Lyrics: I’ve been going nowhere, Nowhere, nowhere I’ve been going nowhere, Nowhere, nowhere Look at how I started Look at where I’m going to It is all uncharted; What I’ve done and am to do But when it’s unfinished Don’t be starting something new There’s still music in it So sing another song or two And while I gather my thoughts all neatly I stick around, enj...

The seventh track on the album "To Be". Lyrics: Well I dance with two left feet you know And I can’t move fast and I can’t move slow That’s fine Alright Yeah the way I move ain’t typical You could teach me how to dance and to let it go all night All night Baby I’ve been thinking lately What’s the point in living on this Earth if you’re living alone Stuck inside a house if you can’t call it home Ma...

The fifth track on the album "To Be". Lyrics: My mind is broken and I’m losing to you Tell me exactly what I am to do Give me no reason to escape the bind I find that I am in We cannot change what’s deep within They’re asking m e to say what the future holds for me And all I want to say for certain is that I’ll be living free Well nothing ventured, nothing gained Nothing spent so nothing drained w...

The fourth track on the album "To Be". Lyrics: Oh… Tomiwa does what Tomiwa do He doesn’t listen to me, but he might listen to you You see he’s never been loved by any man that I knew He shouldn’t look up to them He should be looking to you His father was a drunken Hooligan So much for being a man He tried to pick Tommy up from school again It did not go to his plan Tomiwa Drank Cus Tomiwa’s cool H...

The third track on the album "To Be". Lyrics: I’ve been sitting in a sitting room Not allowed to leave or welcome you Not that I ever would want to I’ve been waiting in a waiting room Staring at a clock upon the wall Counting the hours till my sleep will fall How can I be stressed?

The tenth track on the album "To Be". Lyrics: You’ve been alone Trapped in yourself Waiting for something to begin When you get knocked back you take it on the chin And all I do is dream But dreaming does no good Will I understand what’s understood?

Lyrics: I knew a girl who was happy until she was not, She got an obsession, They called it depression, I can’t wait to see her again in her prime The club isn’t for everyone; put your hands in the air If you care for some dancing, A spot of romancing, A fight for your life; have a wonderful time It’s all okay, it’s all alright Put your head into my chest and let me hold you through the night Here...

Lyrics: (Background):Got money for this evening Got money for tomorrow Got money from your grieving Got money from your sorrow (CHORUS)Too much to worry about Too much for me I will not worry about Playing for free If someone can listen and learn That someone is me So I will not worry about Playing for free I’ve been standing at the corner Way too nervous to go through If I had a drink or ten Mayb...

Lyrics: I didn’t play piano and I didn’t play guitar Didn’t think this music thing would get me very far Don’t be tired of living when you’re living on your own Music’s my companion so I’ll never be alone I’ve got the music in my heart I’ve got the music fingertips I’ve got the music in my heart and in my soul and on my lips I’ve got the music in my heart, I’ve got the music There ain’t no other c...

Lyrics: So, did you think that it would be fun? Did you think you would overcome, What very few do? Did you think you were special? Well know that you’re not Everyone’s one in a million So that’s not a lot I’m too young to matter and too old to cry Too young for honesty and too old to lie Too much to do, not enough time Ain’t that the truth? What is the point of the youth? Time keeps on slipping w...

Seasonal Feelings; poetry by T.D. Wilson-Renwick, music by Jamie Kimathi Milburn Lyrics: When golden sun has gone away, And been replaced with ice-cold day, That’s when my heart shall fade to grey, Still waiting for it's chance to play. The ice will once again melt, though, And into life’s birth we will flow, There is no way for us to know, Which life will die and which will grow. That which grows...

Late as ever... Another year, another Christmas song. Lyrics: “Ho ho ho, I’ve got to go!” Said Santa on his reindeer “Please just stay, we’ve been waiting all day, We all really want to see you.” But you’re busy you’ve got places to go You’ve spent all day in the suit Being jolly is exhausting we know And so, ho ho ho, ho ho ho Ho ho ho, ho ho ho, Howoah “Ho ho ho, I’ve got to go!” Said Santa on h...

Lyrics: When the music’s flowing through you And the party lights are low You don’t need a plan of action Breath it in and take it slow It’s your time for relaxation There’s no cause to be alone Let go of your concentration; let it flow So it’s been a week of headaches And you hate what you’ve become Then you wake up in the morning And you’re tryna have some fun To try and keep that mind from raci...
