Whiskey and Texas Oil Dreams
This was very much inspired by the Landman series, I felt there was something raw there, that needed telling a story about, I tried to capture the life and story of people working on the rigs and the tough lives they lead, I hope people like it.more

The Spirit
Firstly a poem for my nephew when he was 16. There is a plane, a place behind A veil too hard to find And if you seek the place your from Your heart will free your mind Soul bound to the endless sky The spirit of the being The heart born with pure eloquence Depends on what your seeing There is a plane, a place behind A veil hard to find And if you seek the place you're from Your heart will free your mind Memories, trapped in the past Searching for some hope The future we can't see Only one way to cope The Lord of many masks will complete all your tasks In spirit thou shall be free There is a plane, a place behind A veil is hard to find And if you seek the place you're from Your heart will free your mind There is a plane, a place behind A veil hard to find And if you seek the place you're from Your heart will free your mind. And if you see the place you're from Your heart will free your mind. more

The One
An Irish Celtic Folk song about a dream I had of two people in love but from two religions. Two sides of the line, the woman a sensible office worker and the man a sniper. Then I also met a sniper in real life, he as a very messed up man. Had killed 17 people in Northern Irelands civil war and guilt and remorse was taking him over. Once he escaped the hunt and came to England, he said he then met English people and they were so lovely, which made it 100 times worse as he had been brain washed growing up to hate the British. This is still going one in life there, the place to train young lads to be terrorists still exists. God Bless the people of the war torn places on Earth. more
