  The Castles we Build - Hand Drawn Limited Edition (200) CDs - October 20th 2023!
  
  Each one drawn by myself, so your copy will be a unique gift to you. Two in one, with the art doodling and the music within, your own piece of my imagination and creative thoughts. Orders may take a while if there is multiple made at once (as I take time to draw and write each CD by myself).
  
  The Castles we Build;
  
  this album has been a long time coming, most of these songs have needed to find a home, a castle to all sit in and belong to. It's a feeling and a search around finding and building something you can truly feel like calling home. The people that belong in your close circle. The love that surrounds you and the love you bring in. The passions and careers that you work so hard to get together and build.
  
  it's about picking up one small colourful pebble at a time and eventually looking at a wall to a castle you want to be inside.
  
  I have experimented a little here with adding synthesisers to some of the tracks, and most of the songs were recorded in my little home studio. Where as most of my other albums were recorded in woodlands or city centres.
  
  I wanted this experience with my music to be different to before.
  
  For songs with vocals see 7 - 8 - 11 (which features an incredible artist - Emma Howett, who is also someone I am building a home with, building a life with, one full of creativity and love).
  
  My favourite track is We Caught the Moon, because it came so naturally during a livestream from home, an improvisation inspired heavily by a picture of myself and my most wonderful Nan, who very sadly passed away earlier this year. I still haven't got over that pain, and the thought of not being able to go around her house for a catch up and a cuppa tea, makes no sense to me.
  
  We truly have to appreciate every moment we've had with loved ones, and every moment along our journey and discovery of building our own castles.
  
  Please enjoy this album, and let the songs bring you some comfort and peace of mind.
  
  Thank you for finding my music and being here.
  
  With love,
  James.
