about

FINALIST in the UK 2016 Songwriting Competition.

Celebrated artist Ed Gray’s paintings are busy, human, and rhythmical. He paints life to the sound of footsteps, a victory march, a lonely jazz player on a commuter train. I wanted this rhythm and determination of life as it is driven by the heartbeat. An unfinished work in Ed Gray’s studio, depicting commuters coming or going from Canary Wharf from all walks of life. It is a modern city within the heart of London’s East End. It served as a background to my emotional state living in East London at the time.

lyrics

Unfinished Business –

We use to come here all the time
For the contrast from the world we left behind
Staring at the skyline like diamonds in the sky
A couple in the corner not wanting to say good-bye

Chorus:
With unfinished business
I’m travelling back to you
On the phone, on the train
Travelling back to you
I’m on thin ice
Against all good advice
From Canary Wharf
The pinnacles dwarf
Your resistance to integrate
Disturbs
My state of mind

Stream of people alight without delay
Strike a pose in the mind of Ed Gray
Heels echo their rhythm on the platform concrete
Suits, hats and swaying skirts
Step down onto the street

Chorus:
With unfinished business
I’m travelling back to you
On the phone, on the train


Travelling back to you
I’m on thin ice
Against all good advice
From Canary Wharf
The pinnacles dwarf
Your resistance to integrate
Disturbs
My state of mind

Glass in high towers obscure the sun
I watch on si-lent-ly as others run
I make my way back to Mile End and the fumes
Cigarette there’s time for one
Back to black robes, the empty room

Chorus:
With unfinished business
I’m travelling back to you
On the phone, on the train
Travelling back to you
I’m on thin ice
Against all good advice
From Canary Wharf
The pinnacles dwarf
Your resistance to integrate
Disturbs
My state of
