"I just have to admit that all my songs are in a way love songs.

Love for this life and the people I meet, the films I see, the music I listen to and the sports I play.

Love for skiing in the alps and playing volleyball on the beach,scoring goals for my local football team in London and to better mytime on my next half marathon. If I can keep having lovely people in mylife, continue to write and play music and enjoy sports I will continueto be happy and express my love for life through music."
