Live from the Living Room EP51: First play of my new song 'Arm In Arm'

I got the inspiration for a song at the start of January this year. We’d just gone into another national lockdown and unlike the ones before, this one was in the depths of winter; no warm sunny days to spend outside. It was a dark time for most of us.

After the initial feeling of shock and uneasiness I was met with a realisation of how lucky I am to be surrounded by a loving wife, son and family. And to me, that is really all that matters. No money in the world, no place I could be, no one else, nothing could get me through better than who I was with right then.

This song is based around the idea that ‘love will see us through’. The reassurance that when we’re facing a tough battle, we’ve got someone with us to help us get us to the other side.

You can watch me play it for the first time ever in this edition of Live from the Living Room at 12:19.

If you’ve ever faced an uphill climb, if you’ve ever felt like the sands are shifting quickly under your feet, this one’s for you...
