about

"Bad Times Are Through" was recorded at home between April-December 2020 and the song idea was influenced by many Spring-time daily walks alone around my neighbourhood during the first UK lockdown in April 2020.

lyrics

I was walking alone
Through the streets of my home
In the gloom

There was no-one around
Just the sound
Of the children from the school

And I began thinking
Just what I’ve been through
The emptiness is lifting
I’m coming back to you

Bad times are through
Bad times are through
Bad times are through
Bad times are through

There are people who stay
In your life ’til you fail then you're through
It’s a tough road to take
When you commit yourself to the truth

It’ll all be worth it
They were passing through
And there’s better waiting
Honing into view

Bad times are through
Bad times are through
Bad times are through
Bad times are through

Is it any wonder what they did to you
When their hearts were frozen
From giving out abuse?

Bad times are through
Bad times are through
Bad times are through
Bad times are through (There’s better coming soon)
Bad times are through (Your future’s up to you)
Bad times are through (So live the life you choose)
Bad times are through
