The radio edit of the track Childhood Games

Childhood Games is the second single released off the upcoming "There and Then" album, which will contain the full version of the song and is due for release in January 2025. This song takes a look at the games we play as a children, and the sometimes questionable morals they teach us. It uses these games ,and the lessons learnt through playing them, as metaphors for the things we go through in life, love, friendship and heartbreak. 

Childhood Games is an upbeat powerful track, with clever tongue and cheek lyrics, wild electric guitar pieces which are unique between each verse, and a driving beat guaranteed to grab you. It welcomes you to the crazy carnival we call life and calls you to listen in and look at the games we play along the way.
