about

Written on the road “Whole” is an acknowledgement of difficult moments, recognising the finite highs of adrenaline which come with touring with the closely following lows and comedowns. It is a meditation for trying days. A reminder that on every path there will be a view to reassess from, nothing is forever both paths up and down will at one point become the other - “whenever you feel good, it’s just temporary”.

He’s a natural collaborator, using friends from Scotlands rich indie and folk scene who are capable of invoking the emotional connection needed to fulfil his vision. The culmination of these deep conversational elements blend, playful bouncing melodies with a melancholic back bone and shuffling danceable beats.

lyrics

If you love yourself enough
To make it right when it’s all tough
Then you should know
That it all comes around

If for some reason you don’t feel
Like any love you feel is real
One day you’ll see
That you aren’t on your own

I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again
I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again

Serendipity is real
As real as any of the meals
That you will find
Keep turning up again

And when the joker and the thief
Come knocking at my door, good grief
I’ll feel alone
Like I’m on my own again

I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again
I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again

I wish that I had an excuse
To take my neck out of the noose
That ties us down
Holds you to your own

When the daffodils have died
I wish that I had maybe tried
To let you know
That I’m on your side

On a Sunday I walk past
The fearing folk that have a blast
When they aren’t home
When they are far away

I feel you crawling up my spine
A spider or a porcupine
Is not enough
To make you understand

That I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again
I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again

I’m feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again
I'm feeling whole
I’m feeling whole again
