I wrote the song ‘What To Do’ about all the ephemeral moments and experiences which make up the scrapbook of a life.
I wanted to make a song which was like a tale about dealing with memories and missed opportunities and what if’s.
Sometimes it’s the dark things things and unhappy times which teach us the most.
Sometimes, the laughter we share with a friend can be a healing elixir that stays with us for years.
If it were possible to gather all of the most important experiences in our lives and arrange them neatly in a book, as we do sometimes with old photographs and letters, we might find that the things that make the most sense in our lives are our friends and the people we love. The souls who touch us and make the journey of our lives that much more beautiful.
‘What to Do’ is a song about remembering that we are all on a journey. We all love and suffer and rejoice. Each day is a chance to do something special or share something magical with someone. Even if we are by ourselves, we can take a moment to look back on where we’ve been and ponder this incredible journey.
The songs ‘What To Do’ and ‘One day at a Time’ feature on the single which will be available via download on the One Little Indian Store and from all major download sites.

Wow! I really love these understated arrangements and unpretentious lyrics! Like “One Day At A Time” it just seems straightforward and honest. As somebody said on the Q music blog, this style is perfect for an autumn day.
