Hi, I've been writing songs since I was twelve years old, and recording them since 1985. Roger Cook (of the Cook-Greenaway-Cook songwriting partnership and Blue Mink, etc) once wrote that I have the ability to write a hit single and that he was waiting for one from me. He also said I need to 'lighten up a bit', unquote. F*ck that!

Story behind the song

Is there a reason to life, the universe and everything? And if there is a reason, what is it and where can I find it? I've been searching for twenty-five years and found a few hints, clues and intuitions, but the journey isn't over just yet...

Thanks to Chris Murphy for taking on the lead vocal, and to my godchildren Poppy and Jacob for singing the outro. Love and hugs forever from Uncle Nick. xxx

Lyrics

There's a reason to be found out there
I've been searching for it everywhere
I've been studying philosophy
I haven't found one that works for me

But I'll try until the end
And if it drives me around the bend
It's ok with me
Because I have to see
If I want my soul to mend

I was searching for and found a sign
Of something hinting at a grand design
Someone told me it's a pointless quest
I left him behind with the rest

Because the path I found is true
And if it leads me away from you
It's ok with me
Because I have to see
And there's nothing else to do

I've always been lost in this world and I want to go back home
(and so do you)
Five billion people here and all of them alone
(and so are you)
Sometimes I wake up and in my mind there's a silent scream
(and so do you)
I'm searching for the reason and that's why I explore my dreams
(and so should you)

I've always known inside what's right and wrong
But sometimes I have to be so strong
Temptation calls with a seductive voice
When she comes I always have the choice

To stay with her or to move on
To something far beyond
That's the way with me
Because I have to see
Where I'll end up when I'm gone

(There's a reason to be found out there)
(I've been searching for it everywhere)
(There's a reason to be found out there)
(I've been searching for it everywhere)
 
Outro sung by children:
There's a reason to found out there
I'll be searching for it everywhere
There's a reason to found out there
I'll be searching for it everywhere
