April in her eyes
July in her face
August in her warm embrace
But inside her heart
Is the cold and dark
Of a late December day
April In Her Eyes
Over The Rainbow Bridge
My lovely old dog Rex had reached the end of his days and I took him to the vet for the last time. When I got back home I set about clearing away his basket and toys and I found this song tucked under his blanket. He'd been listening to all we said about him and he wrote this song to express his feelings about crossing over the Rainbow Bridge.
Sweet Talker
Loving someone from afar has many names.
This song is a homage to the old Philadelphia Soul songs of the early seventies.
IMiss You
A country flavoured song about unrequited love.
Not Forgotten
For anyone who has ever lost someone.
This rock ballad is dedicated to Eva Cantwell (1938 - 2019).
Afraid Of The Dark
A song about a relationship and divorce and dealing with everyday unknowns.
It's All Just Make-Believe
A song about all the different gods and religions that humans are able to choose from.
Sometimes, when faced with adversity, only stoicism will do.
What You Gonna Do?
Wish Your Life Away
The things you regret the most are the ones you didn't do...
An upbeat sounding song but with sad words based on a letter that was published in a newspaper. It was from a wounded American soldier to his fiance back in Tennessee. The 'Gold Star Mothers' are the recipients of the US government's Gold Star given to families of soldiers lost in war.
FOLDED FLAG
I Left You
A fast Country song with a traintrack drum line.
You're So far
Breaking up is hard to do.
Come To Bed
A folky song with a slightly politically incorrect theme of seduction. The old painting excuses it a bit. This painting of The Hireling Shepherd is Holman Hunt's 'autograph replica' of his original.
A song of loss and sadness. What do you do when the love of your life can no longer be with you?
Last Kiss Goodnight
Wonderland
Everybody's dreams come true in Wonderland.
This version of Wonderland is a remix made by the wonderful Arthur Francis. I think it's great and I'm honoured that he has added me to the impressive list of artists that he's worked with.

Far From My Homeland:
Tom Cantwell and
Arthur Francis
Far From My Homeland is a song written by Arthur Francis. Arthur asked me to sing it in my way so I changed some of the melody and words. He then did this fantastic remix of it with video images of Northumberland and the North East Coastline.
