On this B-side, I would like to present a song I wrote after a severe panic attack in September 2021. It was one of those moments where I thought I had completely messed up, but of course, I hadn't. As is so often the case, composing this song saved me and helped me to calm down.

lyrics

Send Me A Shining Light

Cruel whispers live inside my head
Find their way into my heart
They sound as if they scream
Tearing me apart

They're so busy telling me all kinds of lies
Poisoning my thoughts
How can I break free
Where is the antidote

Please hold me and tell me it's alright
Tell me this will pass
That I won't always have to fight

There are angels but their voices don't come through
Drowned out by the whispers
From ghosts of the past
Dark and sinister

Please take my hand and tell me it's alright
Tell me this will pass
That I won't always have to fight

Please hold me and tell me it's alright
Tell me this will pass
That I won't always have to fight
Send me a shining light
Send me a shining light

The cover displays a hand holding out a jar through which the rising or setting sun is shining. It looks like a jar of hope.

April's sky is down here among us, today...with Winter's fading grey and bursts of rabid rain...But the birdsong fights it out with the wind, the tough wee bastards..."Sing, boys! Sing for your love!!! Yaaaas!"...And all accompanied by these subtle drones of crafted beauty...Gorgeous music to watch the seasons go by... orlandolovekill
