EARLY V4V release! โก๐ถ๐ง
โStrangers To Loversโ was written with Vinnie Paolizzi when I was in Nashville last August. We spent most of the writing session catching up on what had happened since we last saw each other in 2018. When we finally got round to writing, we came up with this tune in a few minutes, one of of the easiest co-writes Iโve had thus far. I wanted to do an acoustic version of the tune to showcase the lyric and story, so took it to the talented James Wyatt at Sloe Flower Studio and explained, I didnโt want anything fancy, I just wanted something real. We talked for a while about influences and soon discovered we were both big fans of Dave Cobb, Jason Isbell and that school of classic production / songwriting. I know this track will make it on the next album, which I will hopefully be recording later this year. But itโs been a while since I released anything and wanted to put this song out there the way I play it live. This will be in the set as well as other new songs on my tour with Carter Sampson which starts this Friday! Hope you enjoy the new tune and hopefully catch you at a show

LYRICS
I couldโve stayed in, gone left instead of right
Or done a thousands things, instead of meeting you that night
You couldโve called a friend, you couldโve called it quits
You couldโve walked home before midnight hit
But you didn't
It happened in a minute and you almost passed me by
I was holding the door when you threw me a smile
Life's twists and turns left us where we began
We went from strangers to lovers, and back to strangers again
It can all change, so damn fast
Our future plans, became the past
What I miss the most, it donโt sound like much
But it's calling your number and you picking up
It only took an hour of an ordinary night
For you to steal you my heart, without even trying
Life's twists and turns left us where we began
We went from strangers to lovers and now weโre strangers again
(Instrumental)
It took about a year to know it wasn't right
I didn't want to change, you didn't want to fight
Life's twists and turns left us where we began
We went from strangers to lovers and back to strangers again
From strangers to lovers and now we're strangers again
