do you want to kiss your dreams good-bye
forget about the sky
the galaxies that glow
you were sent to save the world
you were meant for something more than this
it’s time to let it show
carpe diem, carpe diem
before you turn to clay
carpe diem, carpe diem
you've got to seize the day
“Your CD made me cry. Now that’s what I call good!”
- Jenay Marontate (Body of Sun)
“ ...one of the best sounding independent recordings I have ever heard...”
- Robert Falconer
"Emrys is the real life Cupid. His words are his arrows and his guitar is his bow."
-Greg Cipes, actor/musician
"Emrys not only has a disarmingly soulful voice with the ability to entrance his listener, his lyrics are so uniquely clever you can't wait for the next turn of phrase. He defines singer-songwriter in its greatest traditions. I'm lucky to have his songs in my film."
-Joel Silverman, writer/director
I have seen this nice videoclip at your page...now it is at my page, too. ;-)
When I have more time, I will write you a pn in the next days!! Now I know a way to get and pay your CD!! I have a friend in USA, she will pay it for my...from USA to USA it will be better and easier...and you must send it to me. I tell you my adress and you tell me, how much money she must send to you...and your bankingdates. In the last time I have done for her the same...with a German musician CD.
Pending the new release "Melotonine" (release date coming soon), i decided to offer you a part of my best recent works in a free EP, "Cupboard Replacement", downloadable in all numeric formats with special graphic art works by Flint on Music AutOmatiK's Website :

Mmm, thank you: ). I am doing very, very well! Studying hard, getting good grades, loving my kids and nurturing my body. I have been working really hard at eating healthy, and I totally feel the benefits! I just starting drinking wheat grass and wow! I love it! I don't know if it's just me, but it really effects me.
