I just wanted to write a sad song about heartbreak in a light and festive spirit!

PHONE ME
By Nathan wall

I KNOW WHEN YOUR LONELY YOU PHONE ME
COZ YOU KNOW WHEN YOU WANT SOMEONE TO TELL YOU YOUR BEAUTIFUL
I,M YOU MAN
COZ YOU KNOW WHEN YOU WANT SOMEONE TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING IS ALLRIGHT
WITH THE WORLD
AND ITS A MUCH BETTER PLACE FOR YOU BEING IN IT

I KNOW ITS BEEN A LONG TIME AND I KNOW THAT YOUVE MOVED ON
AND I KNOW THERES STILL A PART OF ME THAT CANT LET GO
SOME PARTIES LAST ALL NIGHT
BUT SOMETIMES WHEN THE SUN COMES UP
YOU CAN FIND YOURSELF FEELING LOW
PICK UP THE PHONE
AND LET ME HEAR YOU SPEAK MY NAME
OH LIFE IS LIKE A CIRCUS
THE HORSES GO ROUND AND ROUND
AND THE TIDES KEEP ON TURNING
AND YOU COULD GO UP OR DOWN
UP HIGH ON YOUR TIGHT ROPE
THE WIND IS RUSHING ROUND
I,LL BE WAITING ON THE GROUND

YOU SAID I HEARD YOU WHEN NO ONE ELSE DID
YOU SAID WE WERE LIKE TOM SAWYER AND HUCKLEBERRY FINN
BUT I MADE A RAFT AND STARTED TO DRIFT
YOU STEPPED ON A SAILBOAT AND WERE AWAY WITH THE WIND
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US GOT TO WIDE
OH LIFE IS LIKE A WHIRLPOOL THE WATERS GO ROUND AND ROUND
AUTUMN LEAVES ON THE WIND HIT THE GROUND WITHOUT A SOUND
And who knows where they fly 2 and who knows where they land
I,LL BE WAITING ON THE GROUND

I KNOW WHEN YOUR LONELY YOU PHONE ME
COZ YOU KNOW WHEN YOU WANT SOMEONE TO TELL YOU YOUR BEAUTIFUL
I,M YOUr MAN
COZ YOU KNOW WHEN YOU WANT SOMEONE TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING IS ALLRIGHT
WITH THE WORLD
AND ITS A MUCH BETTER PLACE FOR YOU BEING IN IT

Long distance love - the insecurity of it all!!

Sometimes the life of a musician can be sad and lonely and the only way to express it is through song.

This is the Real Deal.

A message of freedom intended to invoke thoughts of Woody Guthrie, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and other freedom thinkers.

This song is about someone struggling with addiction.

This is a co-write with the lovely Vicky Jones, for a charity in Australia, campaigning against the detention of refugee children in prison camps. The song has a big build at the end, and I suppose some would call it a 'power ballad'. I'd love to know what you all think it. Instruments all by me, vocals by Vicky.
