about
first single off an upcoming album inspired by soul and westcoast pop of the late 70's
lyrics
I’m looking for a love, just like you,
I’m looking for a thing to hold on to,
Might come as a shock, It might be new,
Or maybe I’m one of lucky few,
One of a lucky few,
No one’s to blame for me standing on your doorstep,
I guess I’ll leave my fate in your hands,
Ooh, You don’t wanna play it cool, you’re not saying goodbye
Ooh, If I need to be a fool, I don’t wanna be wise
Until the sun comes up
There’s no need to please as far as I can see,
The way we move is dangerously easy,
Let the record skip, let the neighbours shout,
Your whispering drowns all of the noise out,
All of it out,
I should head home, but my train has left the station,
So there’s no reason to be patient,
Ooh, You don’t wanna play it cool, you’re not saying goodbye
Ooh, If I need to be a fool I don’t wanna be wise -
until the sun comes up
I can’t get enough of your love, honey
Until the sun comes up
Won’t run away from your love, baby
Until the sun comes up
Until the sun comes up
Can’t get enough of your love, honey
until the sun comes up
Won’t run away from your love, baby
Until the sun comes up
Until the sun comes up
Until the sun comes up

Growing up in a family of classically trained musicians, there was always music in his life. After earning his music degree at the Codarts conservatory, he started writing songs inspired by soul singers like Marvin Gaye and Bill Withers and songwriters like James Taylor and Jackson Browne....more
