about

This one is a few years old now and has changed a lot since I first wrote the song. It's one of my favourites and I'm delighted with how it sounds. Looking forward to doing more recordings of it in the future.

lyrics

I wish I could be happy
But I feel so afraid
I always see the cracks in
The structures I have made

I wish I wasn't hateful
Towards my very self
Foundations are unable
to realign themselves

And I always find a reason
To let you in again
The windows are all open
The breeze is blowing thin

I'm much too good and greedy
To see you eye to eye
My home is far to ugly
To simply let you by

Could you be the only
To settle with my brain
You understand my thoughts and
You don't seem ashamed

And I always find a reason
To let you in again
The windows are all open
The breeze is blowing thin
The daisies are all swaying
The gentle summer breeze
I sense a change a comin'
I think it's tasting sweet

Do you really read me
Understand my puzzles
You've led a similar lie
And dealt with all the struggles

Finally I start to see
How all this sand and dirt
Can mould and be misshapen
To redesign my hurt

And I always find a reason
To let you in again
The windows are all open
The breeze is blowing thin
The daisies are all swaying
The gentle summer breeze
I sense a change a comin'
I think it's tasting sweet

Mark Aherne Cork, Ireland

I've been playing and writing music for the last 14 years. I have a wide range of influences from all genres. I write mostly rock songs but you can hear some other elements coming through also. These are demos more than actual releases, but I am working towards getting some higher quality recordings done. I hope you enjoy my music and feel free to reach out. ... more
