"Reid's pop-oriented arrangements can be intense, dynamic and above all real, as if he's either experienced or living in his mind the situations he sings about."

Reid, who produced the EP, keeps Taiwanese audiences in mind with a Mandarin song, I Have Love (我有愛). Its heart-on-sleeve lyrics look cheesy on paper (You are beautiful/I can’t be without you/Love me/I love you, 妳是很美麗，我無法沒有妳/Love me/我愛妳), but the song works. Reid avoids being sappy and delivers the vocals dark and sweet.

NEW TUNES (WRITTEN, RECORDED & PERFORMED BY PAT REID)
WAKE UP
this song is a fictional dramatic and intense tale of two lovers getting in a car crash because one was too drunk to drive. The significant other is in a coma on life support in the hospital and he is praying for her to "wake up, wake up"
OH MY
Another fictional tale but this one is more romantic and looking on the positive side to a mass armegedon end of the world senario. Nuclear bombs have hit all the cities and all that is left is you and your baby to clean up and make a new life with each other.
FIRST TIMES
This song puts into perspective all of those happy moments and not so happy moments when they first happened and what they mean to all of us.
How long's it been?
enjoy!
