You Left Love Feat. Jeremy Meek, Steve Black, Johnny Tunnard and Tom Bryson

You Left Love Feat. Jeremy Meek, Steve Black, Johnny Tunnard and Tom Bryson The long awaited first original from myself filmed at the most wonderful location ‘Castke Dyke’ September 2019. Tell a lie I created my first original several years ago which can be found on my YouTube channel titled ‘Patience was never a virtue’ written for my father and to reflect that losing everything requires you to defeat all odds and still go out and grab you’re dream.. ‘You left Love’ is my second original I’ve name after losing my father this year! One of the hardest times I will ever relinquish. I wrote this song when my father was very ill and unfortunately he never got to see the finished product! I am truly grateful that some very well known muso friends of mine accepted my invitation to help me produce the track! Jeremy Meek on bass, Johnny Tunnard on keys, Steve Black on guitar and Tom Bryson on drums! I cannot thank you enough for everyone’s support and hard work! Thank you dad for being my guide through life and for making me the person I am! Even though you are not here anymore I can still fill your pushing hands guiding me through life! I love you and always will ❤️

I used to write a lot when I was in middle school/high school. I haven't written a story for fun since I was maybe 16 or 17. I am a bit rusty, but with practice I'll be even better than I was before.Oh and I now have a mic cover for my mic now. I think the sound is much better than it was before, but of course it can still improve. It was gifted to me and I didn't realize how much of an improvement it would make until now.https://www.reddit.com/r/writingcriti...
