Unknown Yet Beautiful 04:01
lyrics

He moves inside her Two souls as one A part of both of us Closer than love So breathe in and I’ll hold you here inside this moment Breathe in, come what may we’ll be together Breathe in, we’ve got this far and we’re still standing Breathe in my only one, unknown yet beautiful Something so delicate Fragile but strong Held in a secret place Where you belong So breathe in and I’ll hold you here inside this moment Breathe in, come what may we’ll be together Breathe in, we’ve got this far and we’re still standing Breathe in my only one, unknown yet beautiful And I wonder where you’re going And I dream of who you’ll be And I’ll smile at what you’re saying God knows what you’ll make of me Breathe in and I’ll hold you here inside this moment Breathe in my only one, unknown yet beautiful So breathe in and I’ll hold you here inside this moment Breathe in, come what may we’ll be together Breathe in, we’ve got this far and we’re still standing Breathe in my only one, unknown yet beautiful

Broken Man 04:26
lyrics
buy track
I can't say We'll ever really feel the same I can't pray With all this sadness in the way You became a broken man Martyred to a childhood plan Buried there your only son Battles fought that can't be won Don't try to deny Pain that proves you're still alive You became so delicate Bottled up the years of hurt And through no fault of your own It breaks your heart when love is shown I know that's my shadow I know what I've seen I know where I've come from But where have you been? I'll wait for an answer I know what they think When they know that I doubt So give me a lifetime to figure you out I'll wait for an answer Questioning is to be feared By those who cling to disbelief With careless work the words were thrown The warmest hands can gather stones But in the darkness there's a light That gives the will to stand and fight Just another broken man

End of the World 06:14
lyrics
buy track
It's the end of the world in an hour and i don't think i'm going to make it I'll be tearing down ten years of ours with nothing of worth to replace it So in the evening Without warning I'll leave you with nothing to say Deny these illusions and scars, just show me the truth and I'll take it Why would you Keep pushing these Visions on me? Come the end of the world in an hour, we'll be laid bare and forsaken We pretended for all of this time that we'll be okay if we fake it You're grieving That we're leaving How could we be so mistaken? Words we struggled to say all these years just drift away as I breath them How could you Keep watching me wade in this deep? It's the end of the world in an hour Allow me to think we might make it

Sleep Now 06:00
lyrics
buy track
Sleep now dreamer Don’t be sad Lonely is a feeling you'll just have It’s sometimes your best friend But days go by and it will end Dream now darling Precious one Since your story’s only just begun You've all the chances not to make My choices and mistakes Rest now dear ones Don’t you cry You don’t need to hear the reasons why I fought for all this time to find It brings no peace of mind Now the winter’s Closing in I will do my best to bring You comfort from the world outside That masquerades as truth and light Wake now sweetheart Don't be sad Many are the reasons to be glad You just don't know it yet But we’re as close as we can get So smile and take in this new morning’s rays We’ll drift into the day

about

The 6 songs on this EP are the result of a aiming to write and record three songs over three days in Feb 2012. The same set-up was attempted again over two days in May 2013 - the 'Well Known Stranger EP' is the result. The songs were mixed and drums sequenced in spare moments at various points between Feb 2012 and July 2013 - but in the spirit of the original limitations set, no parts were re-written or re-recorded - so what you hear is what was laid down in that limited time - for better or worse. Enjoy!
