I’ve been listening to Joe Brooks a lot lately. Fantastic musician for such a young guy. He’s got this really distinctive sound, his vocals particularly are a joy to listen to. He’s on tour around England this month, but unfortunately not up in Scotland. He also supports a charity that’s close to my heart, Invisible Children. Together, we can end the war in Northern Uganda.

When all that you’ve tried, leaves nothing but holes inside,
It seems like you’re wired, to stay here held in time,
Cos nothing seems to change, oh no.
No nothing’s gonna change, at all.
I can see it in your face, the hope has gone astray.

But if you hold tight, shadows will be lost in the light.
Oh cos sometimes, fate and your dreams can collide.
So don’t walk away from me,
Don’t walk away from me,
Don’t walk away from me.

Your feet are stuck, no they cannot move,
Don’t tell me that they’re glued,
Yeh they’re far from.
At home, at ease but give sometime to breathe

Cos nothing seems to change, oh no.
No nothing’s gonna change, at all.
I can see it in your face, the hope has gone away.

But if you hold tight, shadows will be lost in the light.
Oh cos sometimes, fate and your dreams can collide.
So don’t walk away from me,
Don’t walk away from me,
Don’t walk away from me.

Cos everthing will be ok,
I know that it’s so easy to say,
But the pain inside will fade,
Please tell me that you’ll stay.

Cos if you hold tight, shadows will be lost in the light.
Oh cos sometimes, fate and your dreams can collide.
So don’t walk away from me,
Don’t walk away from me,
Don’t walk away from me.
