'I Love The Things' is from the album Tangled. 'Peace' is for bringing nature inside when it's not outside. It was made with Anthony Clark. 'Kite' was made in Lilie yard studios, West London with Ian Shaw, Julian Hastings and Ali Thompson. 'Time' is a new version of the old 'Time' - which was released on a sea side of one of the singles made for Kle-ation Records. This rather sleepy weepy rendition was made here in the magic garage the other night. Thanks to the clapping pigeons, two owls and small gaggle of money spiders that have become rather loved here at Heyward house. "Jamie Pumpkin" is a slice from 'Open Sesame Seed' made with Greg Ellis. Kind regardens of joy and clarity to you, Nick Heyward.

Orange Juice

World politicians are still bickering without wisdom. Not one is practising genuine leadership spoken from the heart because they're speaking from an auto cue or note pad. And if they'r...

The little budding tree

From the well pours life. From the sky pours the rain. From the Earth's open pores, the cause of all this flowing that keeps it all going. The snowing. The re-growing. The mowing and the knowing that ...
