    "The best aspect of this release is that it plays out like a live performance. In fact that was where my mind’s eye went when listening to the music. Furthermore, I think the six songs have a good flow from beginning to end. Although there is only one instrument the dynamics are apparent in the way he approaches the songs. That combined with solid songwriting and singing and you have a release I think many people will appreciate." - Divide and Conquer Music

lyrics

Music will not save you,
life will not embrace,
every hour another strike,
nailing down the lid

Sitting at the entrance,
waiting for the crumbs,
what do we gain
from our works under the sun?

Vanity, vanity, all of it just, vanity,
Vapour dust tainted tree,
Vanity, Vanity, all of this, vanity
there is nothing new under the sun

Wealth will just play you,
gleaming golds allure,
myths of security
our souls provocateur

Time casts its shadow,
and it takes its toll,
life in the shattered glass,
reflects upon us all

Vanity, vanity, all of it just, vanity,
Vapour dust tainted tree,
Vanity, Vanity, all of this, vanity
there is nothing new under the sun


Heavy lies the crown,
of guilt upon our heads,
stain of iniquity
washed by him instead,

Vanity, vanity, all of it just, vanity,
Vapour dust tainted tree,
Vanity, Vanity, all of this, vanity
there is nothing new under the sun

"This isn’t light gentle acoustic, there’s a strength to the guitar playing and vocals that give it a power and feel that a lot of acoustic artists just don’t have." - SwanScene
