Woke up this morning, had a coffee, and [for the first time in a long time] picked up the guitar.
Within a couple of minutes I had a hook, and decided to get the idea down.

An hour later, I’ve a demo version recorded – only guitar and vocals at the moment, but figured I’d plonk it on here for the sake of blog content!

Lyrics:

Here’s to the friends that we make.
Here’s to the time that it takes.
You couldn’t be any more fake.
Well that was a stupid mistake.

The feeling when wind takes your sails.
To do without complex details.
You sit and breathe in the clean air.
Today you don’t have to care.

Because I’m not going anywhere with you.
You can’t force me to do the things you do.
You’re asking to much of me, and now I’ve chosen to be free.
- I’m sailing away from this land.
- I’m sailing away from this land.
