This is a very special release. After a year and a half of blood ,sweat and tear, we finally have the first single ready for you, from the forthcoming full length album ' Into the nebulous night'.
After firstly getting the talented, masterful artist ' David Griessel' to create the artwork, the work was cut out to get it all done.
lyrics
She whispers with her dark treasure, changing everything,
Into her room, the dark lit cave, and then out again.
chorus:
Hold me tighter, or I'll die on a whim.
Hold on to a love that might break you, now its that time again.
Desperate times call for falling stars,
desperate times needs the pouring rain...
Slowly she moves like a feline wind, taking a smoke, coffee sometimes gin.
She'll entertain, you wish she'll never change, but, the writing is on the wall.
You know she'll never leave, there's mercy at her feet , the days might get long.
But when the wolves are at the door, she'll give you a look, and you know she needs more...
Chorus
Hold me tighter,
Hold me or I'll die on a whim
Hold on to a love that might break you
Now its that time again
Desperate times call for falling stars,
desperate times, need the pouring rain...

Born in 1977 in South Africa, to a musical family, Johnathan Martin started to picture himself as performing musician from
the tender age of 10 tears old. Classical guitar, then piano, and finally getting his first Strat copy at 13 years old. Taking music as a subject at school put the cello in his hands, and learnt to really improv when he joined the full time touring band Jack Hammer in '97....more
Its got that 'stab you in the heart' effect when you listen to it. It might even take a few listens to get that feeling, but believe me when it hits, you'll know my meaning and thank me!! enjoy! Johnathan Martin
