Hello you lot !!
Hope youāre all keeping happy and well ?!
Iām delighted to be able to share another song / video with you from my new album āsongs for the drunk and broken heartedā which is coming out in under a month (you can pre order signed copies from my website if you so wish)
This song is called āremember to forgetā and rather like āsuzanneā it focusses on an equally drunk and brokenhearted character that most people will be familiar with ā¦..
Its a song for the guy that staggers over to you and your mates whilst your having a few quiet beers and tries to gatecrash the party . The guy that stumbles in to your table whilst your having dinner with your girlfriend / boyfriend / significant other and sloshes beer over you both , heās the guy who stands too close to you talking nonsense with whiskey and cigarette breath whilst youāre watching your football team lose ā¦. Heās the guy who climbs up on stage and tries to be the bands new lead singer ā¦..
I think weāve all met this guy at some stage in our lives and have probably done our best to ignore him .
He breaks my heart , for although his actions are annoying and clumsy , all heās really trying to do is connect with people .
I think a huge part of my songwriting over the years has been telling peopleās stories - not always remarkable ones - and I think its about time this guy got one .
A special thanks to actor Bret Jones for his remarkable performance . It was absolutely incredible watching him do his thing .
As ever , please feel free to share this song and video with anyone you feel may relate to it . It really is a massive help .
Thanks so much for watching and listening .

Lyrics:
Well Iām an over thinker
A daydreamer
A heavy drinker
An inbetweener
Propping up the bar like itās gonna fall down
Iām a shit talker
A bad joker
A Johnnie Walker
A chain smoker
Everyone knows it all over town
And I know weāve just met
And you donāt know my deal yet
But I wondered if you would
Help me remember to forget
Cos I, I donāt wanna wake up yet
Stay with me through the night
Until the morning light
Help me remember to forget
Yeah
Cos Iām a future gazer
A past dweller
And Iāve always been a story teller
But no oneās listening anymore
And Iām a late comer
A last chancer
A slow runner and a final dancer
You see me glide across the floor
And I know it sounds strange
And Iāve got nothing to exchange
But I wondered if you could
Help me remember to forget
Cos I, I donāt wanna wake up yet
Stay with me through the night
Until the morning light
Help me remember to forget
Yeah
So help me remember to forget
Cos I, I donāt wanna wake up yet
Stay with me through the night
Until the morning light
Help me remember to forget

3:07 This moment is just so beautiful... You can see on his face that right after the dance ended his mind goes back to thinking about his problems and the expression change on his face ( if that makes any sense ) genuinely makes me feel things that I never thought I'd feel
