Chorus: When those words just isn’t enough Some actions may not show what’s on your heart But there’s something more precious, rare as the diamonds Sit back, close your eyes and embrace The beautiful silence Verse 1: The same words heard over and over again From the good times and bad times with your closest friend Hoping, praying that the day will never end Feels good but you kinda feel lost just when Chorus Verse 2: You help me up when I fall down You affect me even when you’re not around Although the noise may be so loud I’m still in awe and don’t worry about a sound Chorus Interlude: Ooooh, Oooh, Ooh Ooooh, Oooh, Ooh Bridge: I’m embracing This I’m facing What I’m tasting is so sweet (It’s beautiful silence)

Verse: This is an ode to my Mrs O And i know that we haven’t really met yet But i know when that day comes It will be definitely be one that i won’t surely forget Let me just progress, and just stress that it’s been a lonely road Been looking above for which way to go I've often been told just to take it slow But now i’ve got more wisdom so now i’m good to go I’m gonna roll through Taking the time just to get to know you All the love in my heart said i’m gonna show you The words that i say are gonna be so true Never so false With you by my side i can be my all Back to my feet after that big fall Was feeling kinda low, now i’m standing proud and tall Mrs O Chorus: Patiently waiting, anticipating When that day comes, when we stand as one I will no longer search or have to run to find my Mrs O (Verse) Tryna get the right timing Not just talking about my rhyming Been through pain and fallen victim to lying And these last couple years have kind of been of a priming I’m always striving, always wanting to be better Been told i’ve got a passion a real go getter Then when love takes over like david Guetta When i find my Mrs O I won’t stop trying to get her A never ending chase Till we stand and we're meeting face to face Every minute or second won’t feel like a waste i’ll still try to be cool and keep my pace When we find that place to build and connect Building a foundation on faith, love, truth and respect I had lowered self esteem cause i felt like a reject Been a long journey but now it’s the end of the trek Chorus Bridge: Like i said at the start This is an ode straight from my heart Waiting, no hating or debating This is what i’m facing while my heart keeps racing Beating so quick, pounding so fast This ain’t the first song but it won’t be the last I’ve let time go by, let many moments pass I won’t question or ask anymore Yeah i said that i’m… Chorus (Chorus)

Blue Waters 05:10
Verse: When you’re broken and feeling hurt When you feel like you’ve lost your worth When things can’t seem to get any worse Close your eyes and watch the ocean Pre Chorus: Crashing against the shore Although you try to, you can’t ignore Looking into the distance And you’re surrounded by The peace of the Chorus: Blue waters Blue waters Verse Pre Chorus Chorus Bridge: These waters Are living waters
5.
Fantasy 04:49
Verse 1: There was a young girl In awe at the thought of the whole world The beauty of nature, and people Animals on the land and in the sky She was left in wonder As she looked around and she wandered Off to explore her surroundings All through the day till she reached the night Pre Chorus: She gazed at the stars above Thinking where did it all come from Asking how could all this be formed It wasn’t something that she could just ignore She was caught in a never ending Chorus: Fantasy Asking herself what are the plans for me Will i stay young? Will i grow old Will this story ever be told Is all this my reality Or am i just stuck in my own fantasy Verse 2: She went to high school She didn’t think it was the right move Cause the things she thought was amazing Slowly faded to black Thinking more about friendships In the hope they’d be never-ending But in a part of her heart and mind She wished she could just go right back To simpler a time where Pre Chorus Chorus Bridge: As she got older the world got colder People giving her a cold shoulder She looked at old photos of a happy little girl Started to cry feeling like she doesn’t even know her She just wants to be That age feeling young and so free Lays on her bed and falling fast asleep Although this day is on repeat she just dreams About being back in that Chorus
6.
Come and Go 04:58
Verse: It was just the other day When you were on the phone Speaking to some friends back home You were missing them like crazy But one thing was on your mind Will it still stay this way all the time Hook: People come and go, people change People walk in and out of your life like every single day They know you now But in 10 years will they know you’re name But i’m different cause i will always stay the same Verse: We’ve grown up In different ages We’ve made friends In many different places Primary school, secondary school College or sixth form But you still feel torn It’s cause you know Hook: Bridge: Sometimes the hardest part Is to let people go Tryna hold on to the past Yet we gotta keep moving forward
7.
This Day 05:12
Verse 1: This day Is a very special day For you and me We’ve been through different situations That you wouldn’t believe Pre Chorus: But we made it through So here’s to me and you Chorus: It took us a while to get here Now we can see this day We finally made it So it’s time to celebrate Verse 2: Looking back over the years At times when our joy was low It was hard to keep hope Yet those times helped us to grow Pre Chorus: Chorus: Bridge: We don’t know what awaits us tomorrow We don’t know what lies ahead There may be pain, tears or sorrow But one thing we can never forget
8.
Verse 1: Dear future J I wonder if everything is okay There's still so much that have to ask There's still so much that I want to say Do you still struggle with the same fears Do you still cry the same tears Did you decide to up and leave Or did you just decide to stay here Do you write songs for other people Do you still see good when there's so much evil Being used to call for someone's help But were you there when someone tried to call and reach you Did the problems of life defeat you Or did you still have faith and stay strong Did you keep smiling around so many people Or did you still feel like you didn't belong Didn't think it was wrong to ask I know these tested you in the past I know you didn't want to grow up so fast But tryna be grown up isn't a easy task If it was up to you would stay young Or would you want to be where you are now Are you busy performing all over the world Or are you looking at jobs on star now I didn't mean to par now But I just have all these questions I just want to know everything is okay To know there's been a progression From all the things you've been through Some you managed while others were tough While people didn't have doubts You were always scared you wouldn't be strong enough Interlude: Are You Okay? Are You Okay? Verse 2: Did you go through more heartbreak Or did the story proceed past the heartache Do you have the same friends from now Or did you and them decide to part ways Were you still awkward at parties Or did your let hair down and dance the night away Do you have that loving nature That when people need something you say right away Are you still the same guy who is quick to listen Holds his words cause he's slow to speak Do you try to still let your voice be heard Cause I know you didn't think you were so unique Do you still go through troubles in silence Cause you don't want people to think you're weak Do you still say that everything is good Even when you've had a rubbish week Are you still tryna work on your physique Or do you love yourself the way you are Do you still struggle to see potential Or are you shining bright like a star I know I can't see that far But I'm sure it's all okay Just thought I'd try talk to you All the best from the present day Interlude

Verse 1 (Jordan): I saw this girl walking down the street She was so beautiful From her head to her feet She has so many guys wishing That she would stay on their mind If I get a chance to talk i won’t waste no time I won’t waste no time Chorus 1: Tell me who you are Tell me who you are I want to get to know you Maybe i could show you How good we would be together How good we would be together Verse 2 (Emma): I never noticed guys Looking at me But I locked onto your smile Gleaming at me My heart has been broken before To say no has been my cure There’s just something about you I can’t walk away I can’t walk away Chorus 2: I wonder who you are I wonder who you are I want to get to know you Maybe you could show me How good we would be together How good we would be together Bridge: One thing i need to know is your name Then i might know just what to say Chorus

Soul Tied 04:57
Verse: When the bond is strong When the bond cuts deep When the bond is gone And it leaves you weak Your heart grows dark Your heart feels cold You have nothing left to say Cause your hearts been sold Chorus: It’s cause you’ve been soul tied It’s cause you’ve been soul tied You gave your heart away Now there’s nothing left to say Verse: When you were together You lived with no regrets You thought it would last forever Now you’re trying to forget Tryna build a relationship With a bunch of broken pieces Tryna move on But the pain never ceases Chorus Bridge: There’s a tie to your soul Started from young and continues when you’re old Waiting for the day when you can break free To go back to the person that you used to be
11.
Verse: Wake up It’s a new brand new day Going into the world Your dues you want to pay You’ve got your song Sometimes the blues you want to play You tell yourself That everything is gonna be okay Pre Chorus Sometimes we question who we are And why we can’t see so far In a world full of much confusion Chorus: You’ve gotta find yourself You’ve gotta find yourself Stay open to life and love Even when you look at the skies above You’ve gotta find yourself Verse: When you look in the mirror Tell me do you see The same person Staring back at you happily You’ve got to be true to The person you want to be Sometimes against the tide Of the roaring sea Pre Chorus Chorus Bridge: It’s the staying that leads,  In the end, to the finding. The knowing who we are.  What we’re called to do. Chorus
12.
Verse: Someone says they think the world of you Yet don’t know how to respond You mumble under your breath I think your words just may be wrong Pre Chorus: You can’t see, what is known The image looking back at the mirror Has more value than you would ever know I hope one day you’ll see it clearer Chorus: Cause you’re beautiful oh oh Cause you’re beautiful oh oh We’re all born in different places But one thing that will never change Is your beautiful oh oh Verse: I know you may not like it But it lights up a room when you smile It’s easier to fight it But your beauty shines there’s no denial Pre Chorus Chorus Bridge I know we ain’t perfect I know we got flaws Look beneath it all See beauty in its form be sure Chorus Refrain: I'm beautifully I'm fearfully I'm wonderfully Made in love
13.
Chorus: I fall in love with you Over and over again I fall in love with you Over and over again I fall in love with you Over and over again I fall in love with you And i hope that it never ends Cause you’re my closest friend Verse: You make my heart skip a beat You are the highlight of every single week When i hear your name my knees get weak Could only be you, could only be you Pre Chorus: I pray this love doesn’t change Chorus Verse: I see your name on my phone Makes me smile even when i’m alone Told my friends and family about you back home Could only be you, could only be you Pre Chorus Chorus Bridge: A picture paints a thousand words Well then i’m gonna need a thousand pictures I could be broke with no money Just with you around i’m the biggest winner You’re more than meets the eye I’m such a lucky guy Won’t even question why I fall in love with you over and over again

about

As a Child you make memories that you hold on to for the rest of your life
As a Teen you make memories that you hold on to for the rest of your life
As an Adult you make memories that you hold on to for the rest of your life

Being in university gave me these memories, taught me lessons and gave me experiences that helped to shape my mind and my music.

This album gives only a small glimpse into my mindset being in university and making music while experiencing life in a different way. Each track tells its own story, yet the overarching thread of the album is how times have changed. How the person i was when i started university is different from the person i am now having finished university.
