Only Reason 03:39
Dear, let others fear, for they're not as enlightened as we Its clear, that this moment is all were ever gonna be We sit and watch, this place reduce itself to memories But oh so what, y'know I think that's finally alright with me What more can be said? And what more can be done? And what else but to watch the setting sun Ill give you my word No matter how it hurts Cus' you've become the only reason, now See, how the moon rises from the top of the trees We gotta go, get away from the pain, of these broken streets What more can be said? And what more can be done? And what else but to watch the setting sun Ill give you my word No matter how it hurts Cus' you've become the only reason, now What more can be said? And what more can be done? And what else but to watch the setting sun Ill give you my word No matter how it hurts Cus' you've become the only reason And Ill give you my word No matter how it hurts Cus' you've become my only reason

Hopeless 03:21
Baby called me, she said I was hopeless I said girl, you just gotta hope less She cried out, said I was soulless Now I'm lying here, with a soul less Woah Hopeless Woah Truth is I ain't to high to get lonely Every time I think I see your silhouette in the doorway I remember when it used to be something we wanted But she took one last look and said it was hopeless, hopeless High above the endless sea We all come down eventually And even though we hated to leave We knew the hearts, would still be bleedin' High above the endless sea We all come down eventually And all those times we hated to leave We knew the hearts, would be bleedin' Weight of the world can stop you feeling so homely Especially after some of the things that you told me Ooh, this topic, too hard to undress One thing you could say, it was hopeless, hopeless High above the endless sea We all come down eventually And even though we hated to leave We knew the hearts, would still be bleedin' High above the endless sea We all come down eventually And even though we hated to leave We knew the hearts, would still believe

Fallen star 03:03
Oh, look at the Fallen star Oh, look at the way she falls She tried, to see beyond the clouds She knows it was never in her grasp Oh, look at the Fallen star Oh, look at the way she falls She tried, to see beyond the clouds She knows it was never in her grasp ooh Oh, look at the Fallen star Oh, look at the way she falls She tried, to see beyond the clouds She knows it was never in her grasp ooh

about

A few years in the making, this small collection of songs has been at the center of my creative efforts in music up to this moment. Each song was driven by a feeling, rather than sticking rigidly to one story or concept. Each designed with varying emotion in mind yet all intended to get into your ears and hopefully hearts. I recorded these all independently with my own money at a local studio in Cork, Ireland (French quarter studios - would recommend) over nearly 2 years. I really do hope whoever out there listening to me singing through their speakers feels the things I felt writing these songs, even just a little bit :). This is just the start, and I am excited for what the future holds. - MJ
