Pray

Pray is a song that almost speaks for itself. I was sitting at home one day and it felt as though all the world had was bad news. It was a day where every story was about war, murder, theft and drugs. I guess I was in a state of despair, with a grain of hope in there somewhere when I wrote this one.

Arun Chaturvedi helped out with some of the lyrics (Because he's always got some great lyrical ideas to add). It's also got my first ever-real-in a "real" studio solo.

Pray
D. Amero, A. Chaturvedi

What is coming to this world
What will my children have to hold
Are we too blind to see the problem
'Cause we can solve them
Or will we just take until there's nothing left

Won't you pray for me?
And I will pray for you too

You say there's no God, until you need one
When trouble comes we're all faithful again
Why wait until it's too late to turn back
There's still hope but it's slipping away

We can't always make it on our own
We can't always make it on our own

Won't you pray for me?
And I will pray for you too

Right Where I Wanna Be


Here's the first single from the new album 'The Long Way Home'. About 7 months ago I met with local musician Jay Tooke and we launched into a writing session and this song is the product of that session. We were sitting around and Jay came up with the lead guitar riff and I started with the first line and a few hours later we were in the studio laying down the first demo of the tune. The song is plainly about being with the one you love and not wanting to leave the warmth and comfort of the bed... ;)

If you want to hear the song CLICK HERE Be sure to listen to Jays solo, it's fantastic!


RIGHT WHERE I WANNA BE

The day is young sun just woke up
Gotta wash my face and fill my cup
But I hit the snooze bar one more time
Wanna stay with you leave the world outside

There's a long list of things we should do
Wanna stay right, lay right play right here with

You, I'm in love
With you can't get enough
It's you I take hold of
You're right where I wanna be

That little white t-shirt it used to be mine
You know it gets me every time
Lets lock the doors pull down the shades
I'll explore your each and every place

There's a long list of things we should do
Wanna stay right, lay right play right here with

You, I'm in love
With you can't get enough
It's you I take hold of
You're right where I wanna be
