Twisted My Heart

This is a love song to my kid – when she was little our entire lives, for a while, were engulfed in her pretend world. Credit to Trevor Thomas on the recording, providing multi-instrumental assistance with panache, as always.

Cinderella’s Had Enough

The Cinderella story must be one of the best known stories in the world… but in our version Cinderella doesn’t get rescued by a fairy godmother, or a prince. Instead she takes control of her own situation, stops being a goody-two-shoes, and goes off to build a new sort of life for herself.

This old song is one from the archive – I wrote it in (I guess?) 2012 for The Fates, an A Cappella Quartet I belonged to for several years. The music is influenced by Hungarian Folk Music.
