Back to Back 03:20
Whats in it for you? Whats in it for me? I can't trust myself Would you paint a picture of me? Because I want to become Dorian Gray I'll travel the world, redefine myself One city at a time Back to back Dance like sine waves To the beat of the night Back to back Whats in it for you? Whats in it for me? I can't trust myself Is there enough faith in this leap? I'll raise my hands I dont know the way Flying by the seat of my pants I'll put it to the test Back to Bangkok

Tales 03:52
Kicked out of houses, ignored in bars Pub after pub, I've walked so far I've never been cool I've never been strong I've never been popular But I am the one I've taken a shine to you You're never gonna have me One last time for old times sake One last time as historys made One last time as another mistake One last time for fucks sake You set me on fire, we'll dance till dawn Let's go for a swim under the moon I dont wanna be cool I dont wanna be strong I dont wanna be popular 'Cos I am the one

Conquistador 03:53
I'm taking this town by force tonight, my love Get out of my way or I'll go right through you This is not the time to fight me, my love I'm all over the place and I'm everywhere
4.
Palpitating 02:53
My heart is stronger than my head Don't look at me like that or I'll fall for you I'll finish what you started here This is the person I am Forget what you know about me Because tonight I'm going to be the king Kiss me like you want me now My body aches for you Your hips Your lips Your eyes Your kiss Pulse racing Spine tingling Breath taking Palpitating
5.
Hair of the Dog There was this toothbrush How many times had it been used before? Last nights number's on your wall Tomorrows sitting by your drawers And I stayed up all night that night Planning what to say to you That nights tomorrow never came What was I to do? Don't give up on giving your heart away Don't give up on Wasting your heart away I heard she faked it I found out that she lied again The better man never seems to win He always gets his pockets picked I've said it once so I'll say it again This time is my last time I'm like a broke radio "Next time is always the last" And you've got to learn That when you think you've made it You'll wake up Hungover to fuck And you've got the learn That when you've been wasted Theres only one cure
6.
Moonbeams 04:27
I've got moonbeams in my arms I've sunshine in my eyes And this is why they say that love is blind And this is what its like to catch the northern star Late last night we walked home through the park There was just one thing on my mind That was always going to be you You are my northern lights shining through the night When we got home I could only see one thing That was your eyes, so big when they're so close You whispered one thing into my ear You are my sunrise lighting up my life Northern lights shining through the night Sunrise lighting up my life Moonbeams in my arms Moonbeams
7.
St. Michael 04:31
In Constantinople St. Michael drew his sword To slay the beast that roamed about his land But broken on the floor there lay this girl St. Michael picked her up to save her from herself Travel through time just to rescue you The archangel will be your champion St. Michael is here now with his shield and sword Your guardian angel, protector through and through In the angel range is where he can be found St. Michael is your guard looking from afar But to his healing spring he took that girl To cure her wounds and mend her heart But if he could travel through time Then this is what he'd do St. Michael would just watch So that he knew what you'd been through And if he could travel through time Then this is what he'd do St. Michael would be there To keep you from any harm And if he could travel through time Then this is what he'd do Because I am St. Michael and I'll always be there for you I am St. Michael and I'll always be there for you
8.
Paradise Row 03:24
Airports and train stations Are gateways to the world But I've got my own bullet Tunneling to my heart Life and soul of this place Life and soul of me Johnson's lock has locked me in Johnson's lock has locked me out Paradise Row I think not I've been caught lying down My trousers are up but my belt is still undone And theres cracks appearing in that art I gave And now they're spreading Onto the walls of this cell Theres cracks in the walls of this house I lost my soul on the central line
9.
Run Away 03:42
What do you do? When your world comes crashing down around you. What do you do? When you lose everything Where do you go? Just to get away from here Where do you go? You run away Is this how you imagined Your life was gonna turn out? Have you achieved everything That you have ever dreamed of? You picked me off the ground And I held you by the hand Then I led you to the light Now you are fixing broken mirrors But I can still see the cracks And I'm about to throw it in Theres nothing else left to try You made just one mistake And it call came crashing down Now you're on your own this time
10.
Go 05:28
There are so many songs that I could sing As I'm standing on this street There's so many lines in my head As I'm lying on your bed But if it doesn't come from my head Then it's not how I feel You don't know how I feel And if it doesn't come from my lips Then it never seems to count I never seem to count Go, I'll go It's always about you After all the times that I have tried my best It never meant a thing All the times I gave you everything It counts for nothing now But if it doesn't come from my head Then it's not how I feel You don't care how I feel And if it doesn't come from my lips Then it never seems to count I never seem to count Go, I'll go It's always about you Don't push me away again Don't say his name again Go, I'll go It's always about you This song is about you
11.
Hope 04:40
Hope in the morning, dew on the ground As I look out the window through the storm You might have took my home from me But you cannot have my soul Because I am my own person Under no-one elses rules There was only one thing that I could think When I looked outside and saw the dew on the ground That was the sound, "Winter is coming" But underneath the frost there's signs of life You scare the shit out of me But theres always a but I am the injured party And there's nothing else to say There's no respect or loyalty Or trust at the end of the day Now that you have lied to me Just once too many times I'm cutting the shit dearest And I'm walking out the door You scare the shit out of me But theres always a but
12.
I open at the start Accept things I've known for years I'd give my life for everyone I'd give my life to you Stars don't cry Stars don't die Stars won't shine tonight I'm never gonna give up trying Stars that shine It began at the start Just a star in the sky Just look at how things have grown Look at what the light has shown Stars don't cry Stars don't die Stars won't shine tonight I'm never gonna give up trying Stars that shine

'Journeys' is "name your price", which that means you can choose how much you think it is worth, even if you download it for free.

However, if you do pay you will receive a bonus track (!!), and the money you pay will be donated to the Rainforest Alliance.

They do some fantastic work in developing countries to help move towards a sustainable and ecologically friendly future, protecting under threat rainforests, providing economic certainty for some of the poorest areas of the planet, and helping to eradicate poverty.

If you want to find out more their website is here:

'Journeys' is my debut solo album. The title comes from the fact that nothing in life is static, everything is a journey, either literally or metaphorically. I think that the album reflects this. It is also a reference to the happy pig, who once lived in another 'Journeys'.

This album has been at least ten years in the making, with some songs written many moons ago. Though obviously things have progressed a bit since those first incarnations. In contrast to this, some songs were written during the recording process; so for me they provide a really fresh side to the album compared to parts of the album which have grown up with me.

I hope you enjoy!
Sam
