I wrote 'Polaroid' in a single night and it was a weird experience where I threw a lot at the wall to see what would stick. I still enjoyed recording this new demo and I hope your ears approve of it.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I watch a moment hanging in the air
What is it to me now, too remote to care
The single strand of time fits in my hand
I wonder where the laughter ends, and when the ache begins
[Chorus]
I'd tell you I'm sorry
For all I missed until now
Still tell you I'm sorry
For all I missed
[Verse 2]
I photographed the inside of your mind
Nothing I could see then, how could I be so blind
The seat I'm in is facing out the rear view
I wonder why I never said all those things to you
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I watch it fading into view
The colours spill all over you
The darkness vanishes away
I'd have you take me there today

Losing Tally was inspired by Ray Bradburys short story, The Lake, and I wrote it as the final project for a Music Performance & Technology course at the Nerve Centre in Londonderry.
Many thanks to my teacher Glenn Rosborough for doing an excellent job sharing his knowledge on the subject over the past year, and to fellow student Damian Smyth for performing main vocals on it!

Lyrics:
Running on ahead and
Feeling lonely for the first time
I dont understand
I recall when you strayed out too far
And the water stole you
It was never planned
But maybe my dreams
Create the world I see
I stand in the water and call out your name
But the wind blows it back to land
I look for your face and I leave you
An unfinished castle made in the sand
Memories slide away as I see
The scenery shift and transform
Im growing roots elsewhere
Years disappear behind me,
Ive been losing tally
Ive bid the past farewell
But life leads me back
I feel solo once more
I stood in the water and called out your name
But the wind blew it back to land
I looked for your face and I left you
An unfinished castle made in the sand
When the waves gave you back
They left you untouched by time
But they couldnt claim your soul
Youre wandering free
You stood in the water and called out my name
And it blew out across the land
You looked for my face and you left me
An unfinished castle made in the sand
