Reason Why

about

The time feels right to share this song and let this song free. Whilst the world cries in pain, with our brothers and sisters at war, with so much fear, and so much suffering I send a message of LOVE and HOPE. As I channelled this song written on a piano I stumbled upon at the Secret Garden Party festival, I put my heart inside it. I am So grateful to Raz Daveed for the magic and energy he instilled within this. A huge thank you to Morris Pleasure for featuring here on the piano so beautifully, and to Irene Ortega for playing her heart into the Cello solo that always brings tears to my eyes. Thank you to Guy Jackson for co-producing this and of cors to Gary Noble for mixing and mastering this to bring out Magic.
This has been sitting on my hard drive just waiting to be released now its exclusively available here prior to my official release on April 30th.
Some of you will know the story of how I was drawn to go out to Hampstead Heath and sing this song in lockdown to bring Love and Hope and Comfort to those passing by the pond. I myself was going through tremendous anxiety at the state of the world, at the division and disconnect and the fear in the unknown at the time. The media being a source that added to my own anxiety, I had to release and go sing out in nature not just for myself but to keep the arts alive and connect with the community. No one should feel alone - We all can open our arms and share our love.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Oh my baby soul,
Tell me how to light your fire
Tell me all your souls’ desire
For this love
Oh my baby dear
I just want to hold you near
Whisper peace and hope not fear
For this love

Chorus:
So even when the sky is grey
So even when the rain is falling down
My heart will never need a reason why
So when the night turns into day
We spread our dreams and lighten up the sky
It’s on the wings of prayer that we can fly

Verse 2:
Oh i had a dream
We would become one complete
Melt down walls find our retreat
For this love
As I look around
You know the secrets can be found
This whole worlds on sacred ground
For this love

Chorus:
So even when the sky is grey
So even when the rain starts falling down
My heart will never need a reason why
So when the night turns into day
We spread our dreams and lighten up the skies
It’s on the wings of prayer that we can fly

Bridge:
Guide and protect
We’ve got strength to grow,
Live life no regret
Cos this life is a quest
Reminds us everyday with love we won't forget

Ending:
Oh my baby soul,
Tell me how to light your fire
Tell me all your hearts desire
For this love
