I wrote "Siberian Iris" as an anti war song for Ukraine. Ever since February 2022, I've been watching the unfolding events with horror. I've lived in Britain and on the European continent, so I LOVE Europe. And I hate to see the breakdown in communication like this.

So I made this anti war music video. And I'm joining other musicians on YouTube who've written their own "stand with Ukraine" song. I hope I can raise money for the Ukrainian people (links below!), but I also hope that people affected by the war will take strength and hope from this song. That's what the Siberian iris flower stands for: strength and hope

This song is also for the large number of Russian citizens who don't support the war, and have bravely adopted the "нет войны" slogan ("No to war"), despite the risks to their own freedom and well-being.
When the world has gone berserk, in the sin of risk
When the talking doesn't work and all we've got is fists
And only darkness lives in this place
You're the candle
That lights my every way

When the world is crashing down, violence fills my ears
When the words of wisdom drown and silence turns to tears
And only grey lives in this place
You're the colour
That fills my every day

I see the burning spires, in a town that once had life
I see the blooming iris, I guard her by my side
And although you're endangered
I won't let you die
I see your eyes
I see them with mine

When the world is deathly pale, silhouettes of black
When the words of plenty failed and all that's left is lack
And only sorrow lives in these streets
You're the courage
That lifts the heart in me

When only war lives in these streets
I live for peace
