about

In late spring when I was writing the songs for Reed In The River (my debut LP), I don’t know if it had to do with the creativity or the writing of the songs but I had a period of time when I was waking up at like four AM and not being able to go back to sleep till half past five. I would quite often creep into the wardrobe with a notebook or phone and catch the words and tunes in my head. At that time of the year I would go downstairs and look outside and it would be really light.

One day after a night of almost complete insomnia, I was woken in the dawn by the sound of gentle rain on the windows. There was an amazing morning light with a gentle rain and the sun coming over the trees so bright. Everything was so fresh and new and the grass and leaves were such a vivid green, and I lay there listening to the dawn chorus from start to end. I didn’t want to be up at four but it was really an uplifting experience. That's what Lay Down In The Morning Light is about - partly a song that came to me in dream, and about surrendering to the wonder and beauty of the natural world.
