Go Fourth…

November 21st 2025 – Pre-save here…

Album 4, ‘Go Fourth…’ I haven’t picked up an instrument since Holly died and it has been a struggle to get this last set of lyrics completed. I especially struggled with the two new songs, ‘Moving The Finishing Line’ and ‘This Is My Last Song’.

A short outline of each track below:-

Moving The Finishing Line

Written by Go Birch

One of two songs written after Holly left us. Both painful to write but my ego acknowledges that I’m self satisfied with them.

One Step (From Heaven)

Written by Go Birch

A set of lyrics I really enjoyed writing that has been around for a while but I never got the music where I wanted. This I’m happy with.

I Wanna Be With You

Written by Go Birch

A lot of fun to write. My take on being on the work merry-go-round rather than doing what makes you happy, which, of course, you can’t always do.

When Will I See You Again

Written by: Go Birch

I wrote this after our dog Barmaby died. I never believed I could or would feel any greater pain. How wrong I was.

I’m Spiralling Again

Written by Go Birch

Another dark and introspective set of lyrics from me.

Punctuation Marks

Written by Go Birch

A song inspired by the break-up story of a friend.

Difference Of Opinion

Co-written with Holly Alice

A co-write with Holly. One of too many we didn’t get to finish together.

Hey! Is It Me?

Written by Go Birch

Again, I had a ball with the lyrics back when I wrote this. The ticket collector in verse 3 (4?) is based on a “discussion” I had with Charles Connolly, a brilliant songwriter I know from the New Artist Spotlight. His assertion was that some “artists” shouldn’t be allowed to call themselves that while I took the opposing viewpoint. Got a verse out of it I was chuffed with. (Charles is a brilliant songwriter – my favourite track of his is a collaboration with another great artist Wilko Wilkes; This Is How The Story Begins )

The New Artist Spotlight is a supportive community for indie artists.

Bittersweet Tears

Written by Holly Alice

This one was written by Holly Alice. We often wanted to ‘swipe’ one another’s songs. I very much wanted this one and she wanted ‘Hope Or Hurt’ off me!

This Is My Last Song

Written by Go Birch

It has taken a long time to finish this one. Probably longer than I wanted.

Holly Alice left behind an albums worth of songs, most recorded to demo level. I am hopeful that these will be completed at some point, whether by me or someone else, to highlight her talent.
