about
"Escape to the Stars" - a story of how we might head for new worlds as we wreck this our home, but what would we be leaving behind? Our pride?
Featuring the beautiful sax playing of composer, musician and producer Eddie Bryant aka @Andoran TaVaine who has added some wondrous stardust to the track.
From the critics:
"Beautiful tone and wonderful playing. Your playing is equaled by some really incredible saxophone"
"Sun on my back, beer in my hand ......this tune in my ears ...perfect...sax is superb ... a really pure vibe to this"
"Beautifully recorded strummed acoustic and the fingerpicked part is beautifully judged as well. Great vocals and a clean, uncluttered sound. I thought it was a very strong song which rapidly embedded itself in my brain. This is very sophisticated songwriting and arrangement by somebody who clearly knows what they're doing. Awesome."

lyrics
Escape to the Stars
Over the water, no anchor out at sea
Islands will be washed away by change
Climbing up our mountain believing we’re free
Emptiness that clings hides only rage
You’ll see them as they struggle through the years that roll by
You know that they’ll try their best but in destiny they’ll die
But the air is poisoned, so there’s nowhere left to hide
Could we leave behind this empty shell with no pride?
Ever looking upwards it’s the stars that draw us near
If stardust’s what we’re made from then our fate is ever clear
Over the water, no anchor out at sea
Our island washed away by change
Know how we struggled as the light years flew by
Know that we suffered for the dreams we left to die
And the air that we poisoned, left us nowhere else to hide
So, we left behind that empty shell and our pride
Over the water, no anchor out at sea
Islands will be washed away by change
Climbing up our mountain believing we’re free
Emptiness that clings hides only rage
You’ll see them as they struggle through the years that roll by
You know that they’ll try their best but in destiny they’ll die
But the air is poisoned, so there’s nowhere left to hide
Could we leave behind this empty shell with no pride?
Ever looking upwards it’s the stars that draw us near
If stardust’s what we’re made from then our fate is ever clear
Over the water, no anchor out at sea
Our island washed away by change
Know how we struggled as the light years flew by
Know that we suffered for the dreams we left to die
And the air that we poisoned, left us nowhere else to hide
So, we left behind that empty shell and our pride
