until_the_day.mp3

Oh how I like to walk among the trees and flowers, inspired by the beauty of it all
I never thought I’d see the day, that I’d get down with the world and say,
thank you for allowing me to live..

Put a cat among the pigeons when you change your way of thinking
set aside a moment to be free
from all the things they taught me and all the things that I know
I thank you for allowing me to live… Until the day

Until the day when we awaken to the plan
Until the time when we are walking hand in hand
I’m gonna do my best to try and understand
this wonderful wonderful world

Next time you decide to hit the road, just look outside the window
and tell me do you see the things I see?
like the hand of mother nature and the hand that helps to guide it
I thank you for allowing me to live

Until the day when we awaken to the plan
Until the time when we are walking hand in hand
I’m gonna do my best to try and understand
this wonderful wonderful world

round_n_round.mp3

Round and round, travelling in full circle, up and down wait for a miracle
there’s no need to run and hide, there’s a road for you to find and I’m on my way.. like yesterday

Wish upon a lucky star, how I wonder, here a second time, feel like I’m going under
take me to another day, so that I can find my way
Felling all alone I turn to my friends, they tell me I’m not crazy, now I understand
take me to another day, so that I can find my way

Round and round, travelling in full circle, up and down wait for a miracle
there’s no need to run and hide, there’s a road for you to find and I’m on my way.. like yesterday

As I sit and ponder, all that I have learned, the simple answer lies in everything that we deserve
save me from the world and I, promise to confuse the lie

Round and round, travelling in full circle, up and down wait for a miracle
there’s no need to run and hide, there’s a road for you to find and I’m on my way.. like yesterday

the_future.mp3

I make a wish with my crystal ball, to open my eyes let me see it all, I guess it’s my destiny
and what I fell I believe, a little piece of reality, a vision that’s in my mind

No one seems to know what’s going on inside my head, they don’t understand
This ain’t no time to fuss and fight over religious ties, we’ve got to make a stand
someone tell me..

Is it fantasy or, is it my reality that, I can see what lies ahead for
all eternity a never ending
story that is waiting, to be told about the future of us all…

The jury’s out on my state of mind, when I return to the present time
It’s all in my head, a story for bed, there’s never a question that I’m doing what I got to do
Going crazy crazy crazy, won’t someone help me now…

No one seems to know what’s going on inside my head, they don’t understand
This ain’t no time to fuss and fight over religious ties, we’ve got to make a stand
someone tell me..

Is it fantasy or, is it my reality that, I can see what lies ahead for
all eternity a never ending
story that is waiting, to be told about the future of us all…

[Repeat]

Making my way through space and time, crossing the borders what do I find
Making my way through space and time, crossing the borders what do I find

Nothing seems to really matter, leave behind my earthly pleasures
break the chains that bind my spirit, free my soul and now I hear it

[Repeat]

Nothing seems to really matter….

Along with a unique vocal style and sound, his multi instrumental and recording/ production skills have proved him worthy of being labeled an accomplished musician. This is further consolidated with the fact that he has had no musical training, was entirely self taught and cannot read a note of music!

After first being spotted at the 1997 MOBO awards, Phillippe was signed to smooth soul label Expansion records and was commissioned by Ralph Tee to produce an eclectic self produced debut album. The finished album Long Long Road was described as “a breath of fresh air in a stale urban scene” by Q magazine and the debut Single Listen 2 Me was hailed as “too classy for todays market” by Blues and Soul magazine.

He immediately began writing the next set of songs which was to form the basis of the next album. He parted with his manager after a few “bad calls” and set about signing to Acid Jazz records where he was hailed as “the next International Soul Star from the UK” by Ed Piler (the man behind Jamiroquai).

After a promotional trip to Russia with Acid Jazz there followed six months of inactivity and it was then that he decided to break out of his contract to continue recording and writing on his own which he continues to this day.

The UK has enjoyed many pioneering artists in the past but very few have been able to boast full production credits on their debut album.

With live performances playing class venues in London such as The Jazz
Cafe, Sound Republic, Mezzo’s and outdoor festivals ‘Marlow 99′ and ‘Jazz on the Green’ In Fulham Touch magazine
had to say..

‘Kicking off with his recent single ‘Long Long Road’, Phillippe and co. wooed the crowd with an idiosyncratic blend of gentle soul-jazz harmonies and heartfelt lyrics.Phillippe had a surprisingly good vocal delivery and an easy going presence on the stage’

Phillippe continues to write and record new material which will be available digitally through iTunes etc. in the new year…

Sanctuary.mp3

I can feel the goodness when it rains, let it fall on me
And I can see the beginning at the end, do you follow me?
Maybe then you’ll see…

Seek and you’ll find your very own journey, cosmically clear is the way
I got something to say..

This is my sanctuary, In every one of us a world of free imagination lives
This is my sanctuary, in every one of us in every one of us

Feed your mind and you’ll know what I mean, take a walk with me
and sunshine happy is just what I feel, do you want to be
in this fantasy?

Seek and you’ll find your very own journey, cosmically clear is the way
I got something to say..

This is my sanctuary, In every one of us a world of free imagination lives
This is my sanctuary, in every one of us in every one of us

Like the air that we breathe, oh so free in every one of us..
I believe it could be that in each and every one of us..

[Repeat]

This is my sanctuary, In every one of us a world of free imagination lives
This is my sanctuary, in every one of us in every one of us

Peace_of_Mind.mp3

There is just no way that I can do
the things you want me to without you by my side
Like the sun when it first rises
you define my own horizons tell me how can I
hope to stay alive

Show me the way to make my dreams to come true
show me the way to live my life through you
Give me a sign something to find my way in to a peace of mind

You inspire me to sanctify the way in which I live my life
You’re so divine
I’m not afraid to say your name
cause I can see that I got the same within I hope to find
my peace of mind

Show me the way to make my dreams to come true
show me the way to live my life through you
Give me a sign something to find my way in to a peace of mind

Freeing your soul in order to be bold do not like being told what to do
and if you want your own glory, narrate your own story
thereby you will surely find.. a peace of mind

Show me the way to make my dreams to come true
show me the way to live my life through you
Give me a sign something to find my way in to a peace of mind

Never one to be denied the opportunity to hide
under a cloud in the sky
Here today and gone tomorrow, we all dwell in too much sorrow
time to open our eyes for us to grow

So many ways to make your dreams come true
so many ways to live my life through you
This song’s a sign, a way to find, a peace of mind….

Just a little bit of toke on your blow, just a little bit of ahhhh…
Just a little bit of toke on your blow, just a little bit of ahhhh…

Everybody likes doing it in the sunshine, being free and whole
and part of the scene that they want to be in
So I decided to do a little dissertation on the cream of the crop
I just can’t stop, blazing my way to the very top oh yeah..

Excuse me officer, is it legal for me to partake of this weed
and thereby jeopardize your hold on me [You're under arrest]
Excuse me officer, is it legal for me to partake of this weed
and thereby jeopardize your hold on me [You're under arrest]

I want to be free to decide if I want to lie here
And make my way through a smokey haze to the brighter days that lie ahead
I want to be free to decide if I want to lie here

Now I’m feeling it, now I’m feeling it, now I’m feeling it..
Oohh I recognize the friendly face, a fellow toker in disgrace
But guess what, I know what you’re thinking, I gotta stop
I’m all messed up, my head ain’t straight so now I got to show you what I know…

Excuse me officer, is it legal for me to partake of this weed
and thereby jeopardize your hold on me [You're under arrest]
Excuse me officer, is it legal for me to partake of this weed
and thereby jeopardize your hold on me [You're under arrest]

I want to be free to decide if I want to lie here
And make my way through a smokey haze to the brighter days that lie ahead
I want to be free to decide if I want to lie here

Going going going gone…

Oh my goodness lookie here, what’s going on around you,
just don’t seem to care anymore…
Your playstation’s just sitting there, but you can’t feel your fingers to change the gears
It’s all going wrong..
Oh my goodness lookie here, what’s going on around you,
just don’t seem to care anymore…
Your playstation’s just sitting there, but you can’t feel your fingers to change the gears
It’s all going wrong..

Is it over?
You’ll get better results if it’s 100% homegrown…

Excuse me officer, is it legal for me to partake of this weed
and thereby jeopardize your hold on me [You're under arrest]
Excuse me officer, is it legal for me to partake of this weed
and thereby jeopardize your hold on me [You're under arrest]

I want to be free to decide if I want to lie here
And make my way through a smokey haze to the brighter days that lie ahead
I want to be free to decide if I want to lie here

Make the best of the situation, Just one chance is all you get
It’s up to you to make it right, it’s so essential
Don’t get me wrong, a good vibe to those around you
Don’t you think, Don’t you know it would be better
To live your life and don’t give your life away…

I don’t want to be here all alone, going out of my mind
Seven deadly sins I never want to see, ever happen to me
I’m living in a world of fantasy, where I’m sure that I’ll find
That I’ll never have a bad day any more
Because I’m hanging on cloud nine, that’s where I’m going to be…
Make the best of the situation, Just one chance is all you get
It’s up to you to make it right, it’s so essential
Don’t get me wrong, a good vibe to those around you
Don’t you think, Don’t you know it would be better
To live your life and don’t give your life away…

Take this positivity and do with it what you will
Never underestimate the things that you can do, time for us to be free
So I say, step by step you’re gonna see, what is that I see
That the world ain’t such a bad place any more
So get hanging on cloud nine, that’s where I’m going to be…

Make the best of the situation, Just one chance is all you get
It’s up to you to make it right, it’s so essential
Don’t get me wrong, a good vibe to those around you
Don’t you think, Don’t you know it would be better
To live your life and don’t give your life away…

Take a chance make a break on a bad day
If you try you get high so let it be
Now I say that you’ve all got it in you
If you want something more, better sing with me

Make the best of the situation, Just one chance is all you get
It’s up to you to make it right, it’s so essential
Don’t get me wrong, a good vibe to those around you
Don’t you think, Don’t you know it would be better
To live your life and don’t give your life away…
