about

The title track of my first EP and the lead track from my album Forgiveness Is Underrated

Twelve Degrees In Nashville is a song about loss and not wanting to let the good times fade. Once I had the title the rest of the lyrics came very naturally and it’s one of the easiest pieces of writing I’ve done. The title and American theme was inspired by the image that is seen in many American movies of a guy sat in a bar or saloon drowning his sorrows over a cold “bottle of suds”.

lyrics

It was twelve degrees in Nashville and I'm sitting at the bar,
the bottle's empty it's one am so i head back to the bar.
I turn on the radio as I start to drive away,
Our song is playing I think of you and why you couldn't stay.

We once drove from New Orleans from San Antonio,
remember when we hitch hiked to New York all the way from Chicago.
I still hear you singing everytime I close my eyes,
there's a whisper in my ear which is why I can't say good bye

Never fade away I need to keep your smile
Close to me each day stay with me every mile
As I travel on without you by my side
So never fade away tonight

Memories are windows to the past but they are lost
Everytime I try to move forward I find my path is crossed
The last time I kissed you is burned into my heart
People say I should move forward but I don't know where to start


Never fade away I need to keep your smile
Close to me each day stay with me every mile
As I travel on without you by my side
So never fade away tonight


Never fade away I need to keep your smile
Close to me each day stay with me every mile
As I travel on without you by my side
So never fade away tonight
