In memory of my friend Emma, the sales from this track go to St Columbas Hospice in Edinburgh who made her comfortable in her final days.

lyrics

Sometimes it feels like an anger,
Sometimes it feels like a pain,
From my heart to my head I feel dizzy,
Every time that I hear your name.
Time is a bitch, it's a cancer,
It has taken a friend once again,
Leaving a hole where our future
memories won't be the same

She said:
"I don't want to see you again,
if it means you have to see me in here"
We should be up on the hills or out on a bike
Doing whatever we like,
I don't want want to see you again,
if we have to see us in here.

Sometimes it feels like an answer,
sometimes it feels like a lie,
LIke that dream that scares you forever,
yet you still want to stay fast asleep.
Yet, life has no rules and no order,
Can't arrange it like food on your plate
Live twice as hard as a tribute
And patch up the hole in our hearts.

I'm frozen in time by your camera,
Frozen at a time in our lives,
Where we would all go on forever,
And always come back the same.

Causes and Cures
by Al Baker

This is his newest album. I think it might be the greatest 'unsigned' album I've heard in a long long time. In particular, I'm loving the track "Green Lights and Gasoline". Dave Hughes
