LOSTBOY! AKA JIM KERR
Somehow I had tuned into the boy that I used to be, the passionate kid that I had left behind, and mysterious as that all was there was no denying how thrilled I was to be reconnecting with the energetic outlook and liberating values at the core of that distantly familiar character. Rapidly I then began considering what kind of songs could be created if I could immerse myself 'now' in engaging fully with that young ghost.
