I HAD NO DOUBTS
This is an original song I wrote, played and recorded straight to my camera. It is an impromtu performance that took only ten minutes in it's entirety. I have now made a slide show from my photographs over the original video which was hurriedly positioned and “focused” out of my bedroom window ; 0) The slide show, however, took many hours!! I am still teaching myself how to do this and discovering that I had to reformat a lot of my photos in a different programme because they were not all standard size and some of the original video was showing through was an additional challenge … : 0) I have left the original recording of my vocals and music because I was totally absorbed in the moment and anyone who knows the “method” of my writing will know that my songs are written with the same stream of consciousness as my poems and stories. Stream of consciousness, in my opinion and experience, is a contradiction in terms as it actually flows from my subconscious. It cannot therefore be recreated without losing the essence of that spontaneity.

I HAD NO DOUBTS
In the early morning rain
I wished upon a rainbow
I wished that you were here
to wipe away my tears
to free me from my fears
In the early morning shadows
I pray that you will find me
in the green and grassy meadows
where you lay with me my dear
when you made our love so clear
I had no doubts then baby
no everything seemed so real
why didn't you tell me then baby
it was just a dream
and this is all we had
In the early morning sunlight
the ground was soft with dew
I pined for love and gladness
I mourned for loss of you
I don't know what to do
I had no doubts then darling
back when everything seemed so real
but if it was just a pipe dream sweetheart
I'd rather have this dream than none at all
then I'd rather have this dream than none at all.
