I passed through the flames of your life

About Me


Born in LS6 in the Late-90s as an outlet for my head. It was in this city... and this park especially, with its surrounding streets... where I grew into myself. Here, near Hyde Park, I have experienced everything from love to depression, from getting hit to waking up and watching someones back in the thin winter's morning light. It is here where my poetry solidified from its adolescent whimsy. And this city calls me. Her pressence prevade thought. I tried to leave twice and came back. This time I might of escaped as I have managed to chase the Sun the only love I hold dearer. Why go? I have never belonged to Leeds or anywhere.

Just 22 houses I have called home in my life in 6 countries. I am a transient who fell in love with a place. I guess that is what prevades my songs or at least may explain them a little. The sweet sadness of always moving on, of loss, of love for what has gone...

Thanks for reading and listening.

What I am mostly listening to today on myspace 2/02/07

1. Pleasure: Don't look the other way (one of those songs that just drives through me relentlessly and makes me happy)
2. Tikkle Me: Butterflies in my t... (Tummy I assume... what an unbelievably lovely happy sad song)
3. Au Revoir Simone: Stay Golden (Another melancholic beautiful song)
4. You/Me: Through Four kinds (Listen and smile)
5. Scout Niblett: Relax (Cheers Bianca for introducing me... this took me completely offguard)
6. Low: Monkey (Tune... seeps into my subconscious)
7. CFTPA: Bobby Malone Moves Home (Such a way with words)
8. RONGFA: De E Naj (Just makes me want to dance)
9. Tunng: Jenny Again (Death and forgiveness... They were great live)
10. Sirka Ragnar: Port Now (Not about the drink one assumes)
11. The Knife: Marble House (Stunning band... )
12. LSD and the Search For God: I Don't Care (Silly name but storming tune.)

I have loved music since always but it only really became mine when I met the Smiths...

Words mean everything and yet Underworld and Leftfield changed me...

I love vinyl but it is damn heavy...

My music collection is my diary...

I sometimes paint... good for the head. Titles of the above pieces are:

a) Self Portrait (Untitled)
b) Hope
c) Black Sun Rising

I also write poetry of some description.
Influences: Never know what to write down in Influences: too vaste to mention really. The Smiths saved my life when I was 16. The Smiths sound nothing like Clockwatcher
Sounds Like: I leave that to you to decide
Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: None
