about

Here's our very latest single BIG BLACK BAG in aid of AWARE, that amazing not-for-profit organization that does such brilliant and loving work to support those suffering from DEPRESSION, BI-POLAR DISORDER and STRESS RELATED ILLNESSES, offering education in the community for both clients and public alike, to foster an understanding through school, adult and workplace programmes and practical and emotional support through courses and their helpline. We believe there are very few families unaffected by mental health issues. We would love you to support this worthy cause. In spite of the seemingly dark subject matter of BIG BLACK BAG (which was written in the middle of a long sleepless night), it is, I believe, a song of empowerment. Take a read of the lyrics. BIG BLACK BAG is taken from our forthcoming album NEW MOON ON FRIDAY and we'll be doing a tour in support of the single and album over the coming months.

lyrics

BIG BLACK BAG
In the middle of the night worry, worry, worry, worry
In the middle of the night there’s no sense to it at all
One little thought gets in your head, grows and drags you from your bed
Darkness in the corner, shadows on the wall
Don’t let it rule, don’t feed the doubt, tie it up in a big black bag and throw it out

You hear defiant music in the night, still you feel alone
Feel the darkness might be comin' for ya to drag you down
There’s nowhere to run, no place to hide but it only takes hold if you let it inside
Just because you’re in the water, doesn’t mean you’re going to drown
Don’t let it rule, don’t feed the doubt, tie it up in a big black bag and throw it out

You’re inside a circle of light, inside a circle of light, inside a circle of light, you’re alright

Sweep your cloak around you, step into the day
Find allies to surround you to keep the blues at bay
There’s a little voice of reason, listen to that voice.
Send out your dearest wishes to the shaman of your choice
Don’t give in to the dark path, find another way
Don’t let it rule, don’t feed the doubt, tie it up in a big black bag and throw it out
