Shine A Light Shine a light My way My way I’m gonna shine My Way There’s a black branch hanging from a hollow tree Its leaves of blood a-dripping Into the cool clear water as it flows Like tears towards a tipping sea Been scratching my head wondering in a daze About the waves a-rising Seems this city can’t never be clean Without some realizing (I’m gonna …) Shine a light My way My way Don’t you know I’m gonna shine My Way Shine a light I will keep a candle burning for you Eyes so blue never seen an ocean deeper, an ocean deeper Dancing flame I will be your shelter in the rain, won’t you Shine Solo Shine a light I will keep a candle burning for you Eyes so blue never seen an ocean deeper, an ocean deeper Dancing flame I will be your shelter in the rain, won’t you Shine I feel it in my heart, I feel it in my bones, feel so alive in your ever glow Feel it in my veins, right down to my toes, hold me tight and don't let go ‘Till the rooster crows the break of day, lets chase the night away Shine a light shine a light, Shine a light My way My way Don’t you know I’m gonna shine My Way Written, Perfomed & Produced by Alex Golding

Cold Hand Jane Cold Hand Jane She had a blast Belongs to the past like the Afghan coat she wears Worn into submission by her mother’s best friend She learned to bend and then Cold Hand Jane Was only sixteen thought she’d be queen Till she fell from grace Too much undone much too young Too soon to be out of the race She didn’t tell a soul what she was going through All of her friends carry photos of babies Wrapped in homes in the nice part of town No broken bottles or meaningless fights On the outskirts of the city on a Saturday night she goes Out of her mind from Wednesday to Tuesday Stars a lead role in a dead-end dream Not even a curtain rising on a brand new stage Gonna change much of anything She can’t explain Cold Hand Jane Cold Hand Jane Sits at the table she starts to cry The bottle is dry She ain’t like her sister it hurts like a blister And she can but wonder why She keeps it all inside lying awake at night while All of her friends carry photos of babies Champagne on ice in the nice part of town No broken bottles or meaningless fights On the outskirts of the city on a Saturday night She goes out of her mind from Wednesday to Tuesday Stars a lead role in a dead-end dream Not even a curtain rising on a brand new scene Can change where she’s going She’s can’t explain The scars remain Cold Hand Jane You don’t wanna feel You don’t wanna feel the pain Don’t it drive you insane That’s how she became Cold Hand Jane Cold Hand Jane Cold Hand Jane Cold Hand Jane Ah she’s gonna get you She’s gonna get inside your brain She’ll drive you wild like cocaine She’s gonna drive you insane She’s on a one way train, yeah Cold Hand Jane

Pure Gold 03:51
Pure Gold Written By: Malcolm Connell/Alex Golding Sometimes it's hard to hold onto your dreams The road is long and there are mountains so steep Don't stop believing When darkness falls and you can't see the light Look deep inside you'll find the strength to go on Use all your courage Don't be afraid to start again You’re pure gold a beautiful sight Live your dream it's your time You're pure gold don't let it fade This could be your brightest day I can see you shine, I can see you shine Pure gold Hold on to love no matter what they say And though it hurts you won’t be the first to break Reach out for heaven Just trust your heart it knows the way You’re pure gold a beautiful sight Live your dream it's your time You're pure gold don't let it fade This could be your brightest day I can see you shine, I can see you shine Pure gold Shine you're beautiful, so beautiful when you shine you're beautiful, so beautiful You’re pure gold a beautiful sight Pure gold Pure gold

Hell to Heaven I can see the look in your eyes It's no surprise no alibis Trying to hide the truth from yourself There's no one else you can fool, again Caught between a rock and the coolest place is Right where you are I don't know what you need from me but Lend me your heart There's a storm inside of me A paean to a flame so true The trail of your debris lights hell to heaven  My mind is on a raging sea  Your softest clouds are killing me Can't hold the tide that’s driving hell to heaven And more…. You broke the walls round my heart Underneath a stone you can find it Mine it, uncover gold  Once you lost the nerve to define it Now it burns a hole in your soul If you light a torch for someone else The remnants of your future self Will guide you through the coldest hell to heaven And all the while that north wind blow'd Your smile it eased my heavy load We scorched the earth razing hell to heaven And more…… You broke the walls round my heart Minds of hate build walls forever Tear them down it's now or never The walls round your heart will come down… And all the while that north wind blow'd Your smile it eased my heavy load We scorched the earth raising hell to heaven And more…… You broke the walls round my You broke the walls round my You broke the walls round my heart

about

During a time of unprecedented personal upheaval, the most meaningful way I could make sense of events, was to throw myself into a flurry of creativity. While my outer world was crumbling, I found solace in the structure, discipline, expression and joy of writing and recording a song a day, regardless. This album is largely the result of that burst.

Many ideas were recorded immediately; unshaped, uncensored, becoming quite developed before I even knew what or who they were about. Some had melodies, some not. Some had lyrics, others had none. I let the songs lead me to where they wanted to be, I just followed.

‘Colour of Love’ had a haunting melody, whose lyrics I found impossible to complete. Written to my son growing up in another country it was only when I finally surrendered to re-feeling a grief long-buried, that I could ultimately finish it. It demanded that of me. Others were thankfully, more effortless!

Throughout the journey, my musical heroes were with me as companions, teasing out a melody, musical motif or lyric, many are the influences behind the songs. If there is diversity in the music, it is because love reflects a rich palette of colours bold and brilliant, intense and dark - expressions of a mind and heart within us all, to be celebrated. AG
