I wrote and produced and filmed this video when i was in the Caribbean on a volcanic island called Montserrat, It was the perfect location where Paradise meets destruction... People kept telling me that I needed to write a HAPPY song... Well the song is about a guy who wants to commit suicide by decides not to at the last moment ... The video is a juxtaposition in regards to an accidental death at sea but either way they both have a HAPPY END.

I found this video i did back in 2009 - I was in Africa on what I called a spiritual detox... (Long story). I was 2 months in and about to go on a 3 week safari and I thought why not write a song and try and make a music video... It's difficult trying to shoot a video by yourself., I had a little help from a friend I made Julian Mountain (Thanks bro). Beside that i would just wander off, set up the camera and play... I felt like an idiot most of the time, but hey it's done now... The videos in the box in the bottom left hand corner was all shot on my mobile phone the Nokia N95, 5 megapixel... It's was great at the time... Anyway let me know your thoughts?

This song is about not being able to see what right in front of you and I don't just mean needing to wear glasses but not being able to see the the person right in front of you who loves you. I miss the way love can make you feel in every aspect of your life and how it can make us a better person.

I took this footage in London 2011, it was amazing to see so many people come out a stand up for things they believed in and to help try and fight in justice. As soon as I had finished writing this song I knew this footage would help represent what I was trying to say in the lyrics. I know I have mentioned the plight of the Ukraine but there are so many other countries going through similar if not worse circumstances at the moment. Produced By Mourad Eddahbi.

This song is about choices we make in life and the storms we create for ourselves with every decision, For me It's about trying to live without regrets and looking back on the good and the bad and using them both to help make a better future. I now know if I hadn't left home when i did i would never have met so many special people and had so many amazing experiences. Funny story: My nephews Dylan and Logan were very young when I dragged them up the side of a mountain to help me shoot this, We all nearly didn't make it... Love you guys and miss you very much... I hope who ever listens to this knows that if they like who they are today then all the shit they have been through in your life was worth it.
