Where do I belong? Where do I come from? How am I to be? Where do I fit in? Where did I begin? Who is this I see? But all the times I cry Its all because I'm trying To find my home Take me back where I belong Safe within your arms Its where I long to be.... With you I don't know how long I'll go on If I walk this world alone Can we find a way back home? How long have I gone? Why don't I belong? How can I believe? Am I weak or strong If I walk this world alone? Is this my destiny? But all the times I cry Its all because I'm trying To find my home Take me back where I belong Safe within your arms Its where I long to be.... With you I don't know how long I'll go on If I walk this world alone Can we find a way back home?

And I don't know what to say And I don't know what to do But it feels like this life we've known is slowly slipping away What will it take to ensure your heart won't break Escape? And I don't know where to go And I don't know who to see I'm broken, but not quite down Alone though you're all around We slip and slide, on this broken ride While the speeds increase We need to leave Woahhh woooaaah Woahhh woooaaah And I don't know how to feel and I don't know how to leave But the ties that bind, have finally worn away for me the pain inside just cannot hide the way we feel Woahhh woooaaah you're one step closer to free Woahhh woooaaah you're one step closer to free

Letting Go 05:33
and it's so lonely, Living life without you. Times so slowly, Moving on without me. And my heart is filled with all this melancholy That has built up through the years I must let go I must let go And I can see now, What my life has been like and why I've been down Running blind and scared Like a little child who has no mommy, And no one to wipe the tears So many tears They were my tears But this time..... I'm letting go But this time..... I'm letting go I'm letting go You're in my thoughts now Written in the pages of my dreams now Tattooed your mark upon my soul And all my memories Are coloured by the thoughts of you and me You were my dream CHORUS But this time..... I'm letting go But this time..... I'm letting go I'm letting go But this time..... I'm letting go But this time..... I'm letting go I'm letting go I'm letting go...

After saying our goodbyes You're all I wanted for a while Just the shape of you when I close.... my eyes And the taste of you as I pour this lonely glass of wine So many questions in my mind They've all teamed up and formed a line Was it always meant to fail? Was I searching for a holy, a holy grail? Am I really still a dreamer? Head still in the clouds? Waiting for the life I dream of, The life that never comes. So much time has passed me by wasted days and wasted nights always scared to take the ride Can I break out of this island that I've built, I've built inside? Am I really still a dreamer? Head still in the clouds? Waiting for the life I dream of, The life that never comes. Can I make this life a real one? Stand up for someone? Live this life I always dreamed of, Make it just a better one?

She's not perfect and neither am I I'm a walking disaster And she's got baggage, Baggage at least a mile high But she's able to plaster The cracks and the scars The marks that built this hole inside my soul I wonder why she stays Or will this all just go away? She's all of me I can't believe She's here with me She's all of me She's not perfect and neither am I I'm still a walking disaster And she's got baggage, Baggage that's still a mile high She's still able to plaster The cracks and the scars The marks that built this hole inside my soul I wonder why she stays Or will this all just go away? She's all of me I can't believe She's here with me She's all of me

Home..... Take flight late night soul. There's a light on to guide you back home. Be safe midnight soul. I'll be there if you need a ride home. Time flows so fast I'm trying to reel in my past And I'll be there.. And I'll protect you, I'll protect you. And I'll be there.. And I'll protect you, I'll protect you. Sleep tight moonlight soul. I'll take the weight I wont let you fall. Wake up twilight soul. The sun's arrived, lets take that walk. Time flows so fast I'm trying to reel in my past And I'll be there.. And I'll protect you, I'll protect you. And I'll be there.. And I'll protect you, I'll protect you. Home.....

Take me back where I belong Safe within your arms Its where I long to be.... With you I don't know how long I'll go on If I walk this world alone Can we find a way back home?

about

This album should not exist.
In 2010, after writing and playing music for 36 years..
I stopped.
I went through an incredibly painful divorce and left my
home town of Aberdare.
I sold all my musical equipment and instruments and
never thought I would play again.
Crushing imposter syndrome, depression and
self worth/confidence issues had all coalesced
into the first major turning point in my life.
I moved somewhere where I knew no-one and felt
utterly isolated both socially and emotionally.

During that period the TV show Scrubs saved my life.
I watched the entire 8 seasons back to back 5 times
over in about a 2 year period.
It was my therapy, my catharsis and my companion as I
dealt with the emotional fallout of a failed marriage.
No other TV show has had me on the floor doubled
over in tears as much as Scrubs.
Scrubs and my acoustic music around 2008 led me to
seek the help of therapy for the first time in my life.
12 years later the pandemic hit...
Since 2012 I had started cycling again and started
racing in Time Trials. I loved it, it was purely objective,
it was all about goal setting, training, numbers, things
you could measure.
The pandemic caused all racing to be cancelled and my
entire sense of purpose evaporated before my eyes
and I was left with an overwhelming existential crisis.
I had no purpose and I was lost again.

The “Fake Doctors, Real Friends” Scrubs podcast came
out and I reconnected with the show and the music of
the show.
I started watching along with the episodes and started
reconnecting to a desire to create music again.
I bought a new acoustic guitar on 29th November 2020.
I wrote my first new song on March 26th 2021.
The majority of the album was recorded in my
sons bedroom.

Over the course of the next 18 months this album came
into existence.

I had something to prove to myself that I could win for
a change, that I could beat the imposter syndrome,
the depression and the lifetime of self worth and
self confidence issues and achieve something I could
be proud of....
This is my turning point

This album is 8 diary entries from 2008 to the present
day.
Lyrics are my coping mechanism and therapy for my
pain.
This album journals the breakdown of my first
marriage, the loneliness of the intervening years and
the journey and reconnection of a new relationship.
On a secondary layer, it highlights the loneliness of a
small boy from a broken home who has never felt he
belonged anywhere and has always felt like an
outsider and ‘other’, even among family and friends.

The songs “Home” and “Letting Go” I wrote back in
2008 and they appeared on the very first EP I ever
released called “Childhood E.P.”, under my then artist
name “Leon Live”.
Those two tracks were completely re-worked and
re-recorded for this album.

Notes:
This is an entirely solo project.
Everything that you can think of that goes into the
making of an album has been done by just myself:
songwriting, lyrics, all instrument playing**, tracking,
mixing, mastering, logo design, CD artwork, digital
artwork, PPL and PRS registration, video editing,
promotion, Distrokid Distribution etc. Just me.
