Inspired By Nature
Tommy’s creative energy and songwriting have always drawn inspiration from the countryside. Originally from the Scottish borders, the artist grew up writing and playing music in the wilds of Scotland. Following a short stint in London, Tommy swapped a one-bed flat for the big skies, reed beds & sunsets of rural Suffolk where he found himself writing about relationships more than ever before. It was here that he was able to connect with nature again, finding solace in his surroundings and allowing his creativity to flow freely.
This sense of connection with nature is evident throughout “Not That Far To Go” as Tommy’s vocals soar above an enchanting backdrop of lush atmospherics and gentle guitar licks. His lyrics take us on a journey through life’s uncertainties while encouraging us to take comfort in knowing “it’s not that far to go” – no matter what situation we find ourselves in – everything will work out eventually.
