Hold on

In this selecion of lyrics – written between 2004 and 2014 – John Meed explores the themes that have informed his songwriting – love and loss, be- longing and exile, growing up and growing older, the unexpected inevitability of change. 


The lyrics are taken from his first five albums: The children of the sea (2005), Powder of the stars (2007), When the music ends (2009), Pavilion Parade (2011) and The dust of time (2013).
