Out now! Rain Down My Window Pane
The new single ‘Rain Down My Window Pane’ is out now on all digital streaming platforms
Written and demoed by Paul in 2018, the complex pop/rock original could just as easily have been written for the world we live in today, as its subject matter centres on war, the effect on those sent to fight it and those caught in the crossfire, and whether the end ever justifies the means.

Although ‘Rain Down My Window Pane’ portrays scenes of destruction, the pointless loss of innocent life and the terror endured by civilians as it poses the question: “How can we look into their eyes and say the cause is worth the fight?” it’s set against a sonic backdrop that’s uplifting and optimistic. It also reflects on returning sons and daughters asking if they’ll ever be the same again, as we glorify war leaders with medals for their ‘victory’ without ever facing battles on the frontline.
‘Rain Down My Window Pane’ is evocative and thought provoking, and a sad truth that some five years after it was first penned, nothing has changed! “It’s a pretty depressing state when you look at the world around us right now,” says Paul. “We’re all on this little blue ball in infinite space; no-one can leave and yet there’s so much chaos. You wonder what the f**k has become of humanity, as wars are waged over land and political ideologies that are inflicted on the many by the few. Travelling the world, I’ve met amazing peace-loving people who just wanna live their lives without fear and do the best for themselves and their families. It’s a crazy, frightening place.”
Regardless of its sentiment, ‘Rain Down My Window Pane’ is, in the words of one, “a masterpiece of structure, composition and production.”
Joining Paul on guitars, vocals and bass, are the incredible Jonathan Wills on drums, percussion and production and Becca Toft on trumpet. Strings were arranged by Charlie Fowler with mastering by Marco Meniconi.
