You can now pre-order forthcoming single ‘The Sanctuary of Stars’ directly from my Bandcamp store.

The track will be released as a digital download on Friday 8th June and this will be the only place you can get it from.

This was one of the last songs to be written for ‘The Last One’. I had the song title for a long time and I had an idea that I wanted to write something quite atmospheric and ethereal. Once I sat down to write it the words and the music flowed together from the title into the song we have now.

It’s one of my favourite songs from the album because I find it very peaceful and, although it is talking about a metaphorical return to the stars for the human race, it feels very hopeful and uplifting for me.

Take a listen for yourself on Soundcloud and have a read of the lyrics below:

As the world dies tonight
We look one last time
At the failures left behind
The footprints of our lives
Now we look to the skies
As we say goodbye
Will anyone even notice
If we don’t survive?

The time has come
It’s time to run
We must find a new home
It’s time to go…

To the sanctuary of stars
To the sanctuary of stars

We will shine our light
We will shine our light
To the stars
To the stars

We float into space
The end of the human race
Now we’ve been released
There will be peace
No countries, no race
No divisions, no hate
Dust to dust
Is what we’ve become

We must return
Back to the birth
To begin again
To find a new way…

To the sanctuary of stars
To the sanctuary of stars

We will shine our light
We will shine our light
We will shine our light
We will shine our light
To the stars
To the stars
To the stars
To the stars

The music video will be with you very shortly and I hope you’ll enjoy coming on my little trip into outer space with me. Please keep an eye on the stars and my social media for it’s release.
