Stream Restless Summer
I wrote and recorded 'Restless Summer' in the first lockdown in 2020, during the Covid pandemic. It was recorded using Logic Pro as it was written.
The video was made with imovie using open source, royalty free video clips.

You can probably tell from the smile on my face I’ve been drinking
But in this daze of disgrace I’m only searching for light
And when everything’s said, we know all that we did was probably wasted
Now I’m flailing and floundering, condemned to the night
The BBC say a storm is coming
The depression is deep and the trouble near
Could be a restless summer
Now I don’t know why, but recently I have been dreaming
Beleaguered by demons, frightened, lost, insecure
Traces of moments past with no future
Mesmerised by a look that proved premature
The weatherman says a north wind’s blowing
There’s a deepening low and it’s on the way
Could be a restless summer
All we have are photographs and memories
Those endless days just letters in the sand
