Keep on brother it’s all I can say
You know the way
You know the way
Wait up brother wait for us
I will walk beside you
With our sister it’s enough
Oh brother brother look and see
So many similarities
Oh brother brother you and me
We keep it simple
Little Brother
Shine on brother where you are
Kow that you still light me up
Even when you shine from far
I hug each sunrise cos I know
You made it warm for me
A little while ago
Oh brother, brother, look and see
So many similarities
Oh brother, brother, you and me
We keep it simple
Little Brother
And you know I’m always there
Cos I ain’t goin’ anywhere
You and I are not afraid
We keep it simple
Keep it simple
Little Brother

9 Lives (Cat's Got Time)

We’re full of fascination
For material medication
Should we blame our education
For this fucked up situation
Fucked up situation
What is it that we fear
Come close but not too near
Let’s smile and shed a tear
For the songs we love to hear
Songs we love to hear
All I need’s a patch of sunlight
From where to watch the world run by
You tell me life’s a rat-race
I’m no rat I’ve got time
This cat’s got time
This cat’s got time
This cat’s got time
This cat’s got time
What brought us to this place
What is it that we chase
Our future has a face
Full of wonder and grace
Full of wonder and grace
All I need’s a patch of sunlight
From where to watch the world run by
You tell me life’s a rat-race
I’m no rat , I’ve got time
This cat’s got time
This cat’s got time
This cat’s got time
This cat’s got time

Slow It Down

I know this to be true
That the world
Spins too fast
Leaves some folk behind
On this ship
Without a mast
Oh no no no
Somebody please
Slow it down
Slow it down
Slow it down
I see you beside the road
With your life
Packed in a case
I try to understand
But then you’re gone
Without a trace
Oh no no no
Somebody please
Slow it down
Slow it down
Slow it down
Somebody please
Slow it down
For a while
Slow it down
Words become a blur
And are lost
Misunderstood
But I’ll stand here on the edge
Try to catch
All I should
Oh no no no
Somebody please
Slow it down
Slow it down
Slow it down
Somebody please
Slow it down
For a while
Slow it down
Slow it down

In The Shadows

It's hard to open up my eyes
When I feel like I've been blind
All of my days, now I'm
Wandering through the haze
And the world is looks so crazy
Maybe that's just me
Maybe it's just me
We all find our secrets
Patient in the shadows
Right there where we left them waiting
No matter how far we run
They run right beside us
Our demons know our names
Better than anyone
See me trapped within this construct
Beating at the locked up door and
Gripped tight deep within my fist
Is the key to all I've missed
That the pain is just the teacher
And the cage is just a myth
We all find our secrets
Patient in the shadows
Right there where we left them waiting
No matter how far we run
They run right beside us
Our demons know our names
Better than anyone
I spend oh so many hours
Building up and giving power
To the worst I can imagine lives in me
And now oh to my surprise
When the ghost as me disguised
Is the best at breaking everything
Everything, everything I dream.
You who presume you can stay dry by
Dodging all the raindrops falling
Thick, try lifting up your tongue
To the rain not just the sun
Nothing quite so simple
Was ever so much fun
We all find our secrets
Patient in the shadows
Right there where we left them waiting
No matter how far we run
They run right beside us
Our demons know our names
Better than anyone

Nathan Maingard Cape Town, South Africa
"His voice is soft, yet powerful, his lyrics whimsical and truly extraordinary. Folk, rebellion and beauty can be heard in all his songs." -Lydia's Reviews
Nathan Maingard recommends:
Super beautiful music hand-made by a stunning Canadian songstress

Guy's music is a constant inspiration to me. He puts everything he has into creating stunning soundscapes with unbelievably skilled guitar playing...while at the same time remaining a humble man.
