about

Made a song for International Myotonic Dystrophy Awareness Day featuring my big brother Sean on electric guitar... and my kiddos Zippy and Diego on vocals.

Most of my family including Sean back in Aotearoa have DM and I somehow don't - so any research the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation does is important to me. And their work is a lifeline for those who have this disease which has no cure. Yet.
Anyway, written and recorded in hyperspeed, for a good cause and it came out pretty cool. 💚

LYRICS

In the depth of night
Coming to you from the floor
I want big life
I cannot open doors

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

In my first light
A pillar of strength, I was
And these 2 hands
Could make you something beautiful

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

I'm not cureless
I'm not

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

In the depth of night
Will you hold me up?
I want big life
I'm still the person that I was
I'm still the person that I was
