Some gifts don't arrive quietly.
"Lightning runs through me" is about a light I never asked for and can't switch off. It put me on my path, and it's still coursing through me now, for me and for the people I meet along the way.
One take, one microphone, one dark room. The full video is out now.

Mātātu Ibakkâ (The Lands Are Weeping)
A lament sung in Akkadian, the oldest written tongue of Mesopotamia. The gods who shaped us from clay look down on Sudan, Gaza, Ukraine and America, and ask one question: mankind, what have you done?
Rivers running red. Children asleep in the dust. Fire falling through the winter dark. A great house split in two. This is grief with its fists clenched, a voice from the beginning of the world asking where peace has gone.
Not for the weapon did we build you. Not for blood.
Ghostjnr · sung by Adamu feat. Enlil & Enki Full video out now.

Erṣetum Ibakki (The Earth Weeps)
The gods gave us wind, and we turned it to smoke. They gave us pure water, and we fouled the rivers.
A new song in ancient Akkadian. Enlil and Enki speak their sorrow and their anger at what we have done to the earth, and one man answers for all of us: "My hands are not clean."
They sent no flood this time. We are the flood.
Turn back. Bring the earth back to life.

Love Doesn't Leave 🕯️
We lost my stepdad Terry today. He was a true gentleman who always wanted to please everyone around him, and the world already feels quieter without him.
I wrote this song for my mum, my sisters, Katie and her kids, and everyone who loved him. It isn't about looking back. It's about now: the empty chair, the tears, and how love pulls a family closer when it hurts most.
I wanted it to say what Terry would say if he could: hold each other close, don't carry this alone, love doesn't leave, it just carries on.
For anyone missing someone tonight, this one's for you too. ❤️

We teach kids that looking away means lying and locking eyes means honesty. For many brains, forced eye contact floods the senses and shuts down listening. Maybe the stare was never proof of truth, just a habit we never examined.

Open-plan offices were sold as the future of collaboration. For a huge share of brains, they're a sensory assault course. We redesigned workspaces for extroverts and called the rest of us distractible. Whose attention were we actually optimizing for?
