New Single - Shadows Without Substance

Released on 11th October 2024 This slightly spooky sounding song should fit in quite well for the autumn season. It was originally written in 1993 and envisaged to be from a loved one who has passed away, essentially now a ghost. However, the song can be interpreted in different ways and while there was an obvious Halloween connection, it can also be about mental health and how bad thoughts can be like shadows without any substance behind them. The single is available as an MP3 download from Bandcamp, SoundClick, Amazon and iTunes. Also available on Spotify, SoundCloud and all major streaming platforms.
