about

My son and I composed this song one fathers day, feeling mutual pressure from parenthood. It reflects on shared experiences, recognizing how lucky we are to "Get on OK!" This is not meant as crticiism of the lovely ladies in our lives but it shows a different perspective.

lyrics

We’re two dads
On Father’s Day
Lucky to share
Get on OK OK

Music’s a release
From all the grief
Feel the same pressures
From life’s stresses Stresses

It’s my fault
Cos I think too much
Way up all options
But they can’t adjust

When I try not talking
Nothing comes back
Her way is right
And mine is wrong So wrong

My way is wrong
So I wrote this song
A place for release
An inner peace Peace

It’s my fault
Cos I think too much
Way up all options
But they can’t adjust They can’t adjust

I’ve been through pain
With nothing to gain
Different words needed
My thoughts not headed
We try to understand
What we can’t command
Have different perspectives
With complex objectives

It’s my fault
Cos I think too much
Way up all options
But they can’t adjust

I get stuck in a rut
But it’s in my gut
I’d rather say
Than walk away Don’t walk away

We all love each other
And try to recover
Hoping it will be ok
One brighter day

(Guitar solo)

My son and I
We reach for the sky
As we try to learn
And better understand

We’ll be ok
On a brighter day
My son and I
One Father’s Day

My son and I
We reach for the sky
On Father’s Day

My son and I, we get on ok
Thanks Neil, for all your help
Your dad, appreciates, you’re a dad too

My musical journey began when I gave an unrehearsed and impromptu after dinner speech to music at UCL Computer Science Department's 35th Gala Dinner.
Thanks Kari and Nina for getting me started. The paintings are also my work to reflect the emotion of the song. ... more
