I am the stranger in the shadows
I am the sleeper at the wheel
Am I the choice & the anonymous voice
That says none of it’s real
I’ve heard the footsteps of the hungry
I’ve heard the breathing of relief
I heard the scream of a mother in a dream
But that could have been me
I walked out to the grieving ocean
I lay down by the thirsty sea
I found a man there dying without water
He looked just like me
I have come from the walls of worry
I fled the wounded streets of war
I walked a thousand miles in the wrong direction
But what was it for?
I am a chorus of the guilty
I am the water on the ground
I am collectively the face of the lost
Who want to be found
We drink to love and to deception
We drink to charity and greed
We drink to numb the very thing we’ve become
When its water we need

My good friend Matt Bodman is releasing his debut album this week. Its called ‘Burn’ and it is fantastic. For his release concert, myself and some other songwriters (Tono, Zoe Cook, Antony Jefarres) will be performing Matt’s songs as well as our own. 15th May at 17th Ave theatre, Tauranga 7.30pm $10 at door (or $20 with a copy of the album) Check out Matt’s music here - myspace.com/mattbodmanandthevalentinegrind - and you can get his album on iTunes.
P.S. Matt recorded his album at this new recording studio in Hamilton ’The Porch’, if you like porches, you’ll love this one.

This is short film/doco I made over the past year, in my spare time and sleepless nights. Documenting a New Zealand tour, hanging out with friends and driving around the country in a blue bus. visit www.youtube.com/lukethompsontv to watch Part 2.

When we were on tour in the south island we came across this little old church in the middle of no where, the key was in the door so went in to have a look. We stuck around for a few hours singing and playing. Good times. The video camera ran out so we only got three or four songs but we must have sung twenty something… Check out some others on youtube.

Check out the new music video we made for ‘Satellites’. Its bits and pieces we shot on the recent tour and even some footage from way back recording the album, which feels like seven years ago! I think i’ll make a short film/doco out of the footage we shot on tour, using all the most boring parts…maybe.
