Of all the albums I\u2019ve made, I Am for You is the one that I really didn\u2019t understand until the moment it was finished. \u00a0The songs were written over a long period of time, from 2012 to 2017. \u00a0I began writing the songs while I was still performing The Soho Hobo album live. \u00a0That\u2019s fairly standard for me \u2013 to start another project before I\u2019ve finished the last one. \u00a0However, because I devoted such a long period of time to certain campaigns and causes, the album remained in a process of development, rather than production.<\/h3>\n

In many ways, all the songs on the album are an exploration of every relationship I\u2019ve ever had. \u00a0And that\u2019s about 20 years and half a dozen incredible experiences of companionship, love, loss and discovery. \u00a0It took a couple of years of being on my own for the first time in two decades to be able to step outside of all those relationships, look love in the face and then write What Love Would Want. \u00a0That the song ends this album is of course deliberate. It\u2019s the story I brought back at the end of all the journeys in the other songs on the album. Now you\u2019re by yourself, now you\u2019re free, now you\u2019ve been through journeys of love \u2013 what do you think about that four letter word that seems to mean so much to us all?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s the best collection of songs I have ever made. \u00a0And in terms of song-writing, it is my favourite of all my albums, and the most complete.<\/h3>\n
