Man of Shadows [Official music video]

Like millions of others I’ve always enjoyed the James Bond movies. I had the idea two years ago to try and write a track for the next movie but with the delay in the movie tittle announcement I decided to forge on without that. I took my time writing it and waited for the right musical parts to fall into place before writing the lyrics. In early 204 I worked with an experience pianist to get the exact musical notation for each section before passing it on to the wonderful Seamus O’ Duignean in Shanghai China to produce the track. I think you’ll agree he did an absolutely fabulous job bring my vision to life.

It’s an ambitious project for any artist and we are both very proud of it. I hope people will enjoy it for many years to come. The amazing video was directed by Kenneth Remels and featuring the wonderful Dounia Daniels. It was shot on location in Antwerpen in Belgium on the evening and night of June 24th 2024.

My debut album ‘Five minutes to midnight’ will be released on October 10th 2024.

Man of Shadows

Verse 1

You tell yourself he loves you,
But you must think again,
He has got his mission
And the world as well.

Men scream, they beg and then crawl,
Like flies within his web
And if you stand in his way
You may just end up dead.

Pre Chorus

You’ll never get see his soul, and
He’ll never ever let you in.
From time to time you might get close, but
That heart of his you’ll never win.

Buld up

He knows the stakes
He knows the price
Lives on the line
He rolls that dice
He’s Bond…

Chorus A

He is the man of shadows,
So loyal to the crown
There is no line he will not cross,
He’ll never let them down..

Bridge

He’s a haunted manX4
He’s a haunted man X2
He’s a haunted man X2

Verse 2

Like pawns upon a chess board
He plays them one and all
Grand master of the game now
The pieces how they fall.

Dedicated to Ferry, my wife’s father whom is a long time James Bond fan.
