Verse 1
I drove on down to Nashville from Kansas yesterday.
I stopped off in a Diner right along the way.
I wondered what I'm gonna say and what I'm gonna do
and how I'm gonna feel when I see you.
Chorus
From a young age
you would go your own way.
With your self belief
you might make it one day.
Verse 2
Had eggs over easy and pancakes on the side.
Drank a cup of coffee and thought about the ride.
I looked out the window at the clouds and the rain
and thought it won't be long until I see you again.
Chorus
From a young age
you would go your own way.
With your self belief
you might make it one day.

Chorus
From a young age
you would go your own way.
With your self belief
you might make it one day.
Verse 3
I drove on into Nashville unsure which way to go.
Then I heard your song on the local radio.
It made me realise just how much I miss you
but you're making music like you wanted to.
Chorus x 2
From a young age
you would go your own way.
With your self belief
you might make it one day.
From a young age
you would go your own way.
With your self belief
you might make it one day.

Verse 1
White sand, rolling sea
this place means alot to me.
All my friends and family
this town is where I wanna be.
Chorus
I have to leave my hometown.
I really have to get away.
It seems I'll soon be leaving.
I'll be back again one day.
Verse 2
My town, guess it's true
there's no jobs for me to do.
Everyday what to do
don't wanna sit on no dole queue.
Chorus
I have to leave my hometown.
I really have to get away.
It seems I'll soon be leaving.
I'll be back again one day.
Instrumental Bridge
Chorus
I have to leave my hometown.
I really have to get away.

Verse 3
This place seen better days
than this economic malaise.
It's a pity, I'll hit the city
to find a job that really pays.
Chorus
I have to leave my hometown.
I really have to get away.
It seems I'll soon be leaving.
I'll be back again one day.

I Love You More and More

I don't believe in hatred.
There's an awful lot around.
The only peace I will find
is six feet underground.
I do believe in you.
You're all I'm living for.
With every passing day
I love you more and more.
I don't believe in Christmas.
I knew Santa wasn't true.
Those Christmas lights don't thrill me
like they used to do.
I do believe in you.
You're all I'm living for.
With every passing day
I love you more and more.
Instrumental Bridge
I do believe in you.
You're all I'm living for.
With every passing day
I love you more and more.
I don't believe in great wealth
in a world with poverty.
Let's spread the wealth around
and get some equality.
I do believe in you.
You're all I'm living for.
With every passing day
I love you more and more.

Markham Monk Leipzig, Germany
I like all types of music.
American and British music have been my main influences.
I was drawn to
Country music when I lived and traveled in the USA during the early 1980s.
These days I am mainly drawn to writing music in a easy listening country pop style although I also like writing in a slightly more country rock or pop rock style.

Nostalgia brings a beautiful peace. Annika's songwriting is melancholic but comforting as with her singing, delicate and angelic. The Cello is heart melting and the vocal harmonies and guitar playing are enchanting. That's why I love this album.
