A lilting, meditative tune about acceptance, compassion and setting new boundaries in the aftermath of a doomed love affair. It's my first studio release since the 2014 album 'Go Forth!', a quiet comeback, if you will.

lyrics

You were easy on the eye, but hard on the heart.
You took a lot of work, but you're a work of art.
Thought I'd be your leading man, but you played the whole cast.
It sure was a blast, now you're a blast from the past.

I was building bridges, while you were putting up fences.
Thought you could burn 'em all down with no consequences.
You'd apologise with a bat of your lashes,
And leave me standing dazed in a pile of hot ashes.

You'll be doing fine, if I could take a guess,
But you cross my thoughts now, less & less.

You must be out of my mind.
You must be out of my mind.
Been so long blind-sided by your lies,
You must be out of my mind.

You were my rock when we were on a roll.
We hit the fast lane, but we paid a toll, yeah.
Had a lot of dreams but we got nothing done.
Till the screaming stopped, we sure had our fun.

Even when it hit me, it was just a fling,
I still couldn't say that I'd change a thing, no.
Got no regrets, babe, & I'm not faking,
You're a little piece of history in the making.

You'll be doing fine, if I could take a guess,
But you cross my thoughts now, less & less.

You must be out of my mind.
You must be out of my mind.
Been so long blind-sided by your lies,
You must be out of my mind, yeah.

I must have been out of my mind.
I must have been out of my mind, yeah.
It took so long this time to realise,
But now you're out of my mind.
Now you're out of my mind.
Now you're out of my mind.
Now you're out of my mind.

Superstition
by James Harries

James is that rare example of an artist as prolific as he is brilliant. He's annoyingly good, so - thankfully - unique. Alasdair Bouch

25 Years
by Justin Lavash

I have sat at the feet of this master guitarist in open-mouthed awe more times than I care to remember. Mixing biting wit with breathtakingly beautiful balladry, his is a shocking talent. Alasdair Bouch
