Team Sheet

I sit here with the tracklisting for my second album "The Major and the Minor".
Narrowed down to 10 simple songs from a possible 18. How would I feel if I didn't make the team? I doubt there's an easy way to let the others down and let them know that yes, they'd come a long way but they didn't quite make the final cut. We're sorry, better luck next time. I can say however that they each hold a special place in my heart and that though they may be gone they are most certainly not forgotten.

The game that I'm fielding this team for isn't a cup-final, nor is it a 1st place decider, nor for that matter is it a relegation battle. In my eyes the team that these songs play for are simply looking for a playoff place, a chance to be a part of something greater.

More often than not, it's down to the decisions that the manager makes that pushes the team as far as it can go, and like any good team It's bigger than it's individual players.

Scouting for cash

I'm here rooting around trying to find things that I can sell rather than thinking of the usual crazy schemes to make money.

Today I figure having less is having more.

Hit the ground running ...

I learned a lot about myself in the last twenty-four hours.
I learned that I'm here for the long haul, and I'm not about to go running away now.
I'm here to stay, and with more motivation than ever.

So then, when you know that - and you can say it to the world:

What more is there to say?

Back for a day

I got back home late last night and I'll be leaving again tomorrow morning for the Scotland dates.
So far, tour has been amazing. I love being out there and meeting so many new people.
As always I have plenty more stories to tell (but I'll save those for a later date).

I'm really worn down, it's not easy eating right on tour and I think it's catching up with me.
Thanks so much to everyone that's given me somewhere to sleep or food/hot food while I've been away.
It really helps me to remember that there are a lot of good people out there.

The "Tonight Becomes Today" video should be around pretty soon. Keep an eye on my myspace page and it'll be there.
The next single that comes out with the album will be a song called "I loved life, I lost". I dunno, maybe the title will change for the single but that's what I'm calling it as an album track. The day I got home from tour I'll be leaving again to go down south where that track is going to be remixed at a better studio. Something I'm quite looking forward to 'cause I haven't had a chance to do that in the past. The day after that we're shooting the video for it in Hastings. I love that place.

On with Scotland, if you're in either Paisley, Glasgow or Edinburgh this weekend then it would be great to see you at a show.
Hitz radio are coming along to Glasgow through the day to do a video interview and acoustic session so that should be fun.
