SITTING HERE

"The song was written in late December on a dark and dreary day.

The song is about a love lost, ( not mine !) and the desperation and torment of wondering if the situation will change."

SCARED TO SLEEP ALONE

I heard Keane perform this song at a singer/songwriter eveving and was blown away! What a song! This is what he had to say: "Scared to Sleep Alone" is a haunting reflection on the fear of loneliness and the struggle to find peace even when you're with someone. The song captures the deep anxiety of being left alone, both physically and emotionally, and the sense of unease that lingers even in the presence of a loved one. It's a powerful expression of vulnerability, where the fear of losing someone becomes so overwhelming that it disrupts even the simplest act of falling asleep. The lyrics evoke a longing for comfort and stability, making it a relatable anthem for anyone who's ever been afraid of facing the night alone.

WALTZ IN THE AIR

Featuring Angela Harland

"The song actually started as a 4/4 time Christmas song would you believe! But I thought it was wasted as a seasonal song.

One day I was in the North Yorkshire countryside at a relations house, looking out of the window and the inspiration and 3/4 timing change just fell…… the first song I ever wrote whilst learning basic guitar chords in autumn 2023"

IF I FALL

📨 sammi.thediva@gmail.com

I wrote after a family tragedy, deaing with grief alone is never easy, but it made me more aware of other broken people. Those that worried, I was telling them not to worry, but would be they be there for me if I fall.

WHY NOT ME?

📨 sammi.thediva@gmail.com

I wrote this in my Eastbouse bedsit after failing to join the RAF.

I ended up wearing combats for another service anyway so not all was lost!
