Bio
These songs were written in Syria, London and Birmingham and recorded in dad's cellar, mostly in September 2009. 'The Gentle Breeze' is for Milton who is on death row and received his execution date for 21 June. We have written to each other for the past five years or so. 'This endless story' is for my friend Sarah who was in prison in Iran for almost a year, mostly in solitary confinement, and innocent. Her fiance Shane and friend Josh are still in prison with no idea when they'll be released (www.freethehikers.org). 'This endless story' is also for the Home Office and their lack of respect for love. -

Hey!
Hello,How are you ?
Hey,How are you todady .i love you space fans.
Well Emily i'm def a full paid up member of the losers club too-tho the 'brilliance' might be a little overstated in my case lol
I love leaving tracks open to chance noises from the outside like you have on 'endless story'.It adds to the personality!.Just been listening again-Can't make out the creaking chair,but It really is such a beautiful song..So much heart and feeling.
Thanks for the Girl On THe Train trailer link..I can kinda see why i didn't get the big phone-call now..Tho i guess they could've used it in a highly ironic way-playing it as she was maiming herself or something ;)
Yeh the endless sun has been so fantastic!-Hope you've been enjoying it too :)
Hey Emily...Yeh,i'm part of the Losers club as well lol.Its a cool song i can definitely identify with !-and you n petes voices work well together...This Endless Story's such a beautiful song btw..Really touching and heartfelt..
Thanks for the heads up about the Girl On THe Train film...How dare they not even consult me! I'm gonna get my lawyer onto it straightaway ;)
Hope life's good
All the best
-Steve:)
