about

My new song ‘I Carry a Lantern’. A folktronica track I made entirely myself using an acoustic guitar, an 80s synth and a drum track from online.

lyrics

Look in my eyes and say
You don’t feel anything
I have the hands of a human being
And that surely must mean something

Oh, I need people to know
That I’m here to hold

This world was once beautiful
I don’t know what happened to it all
The land and the rivers they unfold
Maybe we were put here merely to behold

Oh, I need people to know
That I’m here to hold
I don’t want to go
Untold
I’ll be damned if I don’t
Show my soul
I’m not good at that I know
But it’s all I’ve ever owned

Don’t think that I’m the one
To save the world from its rights and wrongs
My path is arduous and long
But I carry a lantern in the form of song

Oh, I need people to know
That I’m here to hold
I don’t wanna go
Untold
I’ll be damned if I don’t
Show my soul
I’m not good at that I know
But it’s all I’ve ever owned
