about

Again, this is me at my most vulnerable, talking about that time in my life when the world was so dark & the only hope I had were the shadows I wrapped around myself.

At least she was there to run her hands through my hair…

As she still does…

What people are saying about Shadows On My Soul:

"Very moving song which is bringing tears. So emotional, soulful, rocking, getting into every corner of emotions. The solo guitar is so expressive and suffering in front of us. Amazing emotional song. Very poignant, strong, powerful and vulnerable at the same time. Your singing and playing are superb and unique. Powerful title and delivery."
- Nadia Cripps, FAWM

"I like it when you pour your soul out. The healing vibes you spread around you are a precious gift.

Your voice carries powerful, raw emotions, your guitar provides a firm pedestal for them to stand on. The atmosphere you weave is moving and comforting. Vulnerable, yet so brave. In the end, it really doesn't feel like over seven minutes flowed by."
- Joanne Gabriel, FAWM

"Man there's always realness in your songs, and this one is more raw than most I think. I really feel what you're going for here - just a gorgeous mix of vocal and musical emotion."
- looprication, FAWM

"It is amazing how well your guitar playing complements your vocals. I love those rave ups even though they come out of pain."
- Bill White, FAWM

It'll be alright, only because I'm beginning to understand.

See You In The Shadows…

lyrics

Shadows On My Soul
================

In the shadows I cry
All those times in the night
And in the shadows I still see
Some hope for a fight

In the night I still stumble
On that broken sidewalk
And in my eyes all the tears
That never stopped rolling down
My bruised cheeks in this night
And the darkness encompasses
All my thoughts and all my dreams
All my desires so long…
And I dream of your touch
I dream of your touch
That you'll run your hands
Again through my hair

In the night
I'll dream of you
In the darkness
And in the dew
And you'll wrap
Your arms around me
Hold me tight and tell me
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
Even though I never knew
What happened from the start
It'll still be alright
I might be alright
I might be alright
I might be alright
I might be alright
If I could just find
Find the light

I walk the path
Through the shadows
In my heart
And in my soul
I'll walk the path
Where no one goes
In the shadows
Of my soul
There's a darkness
No one knows
It's the shadow
On my soul
But in the end
You're all I have
Wrap me in shadows
So I'm not cold
Run your hands
Through my hair
Wrap me in shadows
Shadows…
Wrap me in shadows
Wrap me in shadows
Shadows
On my soul
On my soul
