Just put my bluesy song "Hotel Rooms" up on SoundCloud and BandCamp. Recorded with the Little Things project, it didn't quite make the cut, but I didn't want it to disappear forever among the files. The song describes the lonely life of a travelling salesman. side-banks.bandcamp.com/track/hotel-...

Wishing you a peaceful night. ❤️

A poem that reads:
I had the dream last night. the one where we saved you. the dream where death came close but decided to give you more time. the first thing i did was put my ear to your chest to listen to your heartbeat. i held you like a miracle like you and i shared lungs and it was my first time breathing, like i would simply vanish if i had to let you go. then i woke up. and like every other time the only thing that vanished was you.

The UK can secure significant growth of 1.7% - 2.2% through a policy of deep alignment with the EU on goods and services, while staying within Starmer's red lines. This is the approach to push for: peak ambition within the constraints Labour has set. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Great new music from HatShop, a collab with Shane Young (The Powdered Earth) and Chris Groom (artist and host of Indie Voices Podcast). Gentle piano and synth loveliness, pleasantly mixed, lyrics wistfully wonder if artists advertised in old promo posters are still chasing their dreams. 👇
