0:03:49 > 0:03:53- Believe it or not, - I've been performing for ten years.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- The next song is also on that album.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- It's a song about battling through - the dark days to find better times.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- I'm sure we can all - relate to the lyrics.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- This is Ysbryd Yn Troi.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- # He climbs a mountain - that is his life
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- # And sometimes he falls
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- # He sees - this long and winding path
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- # He cannot see the horizon
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- # And tomorrow seems far away
0:04:50 > 0:04:56- # And there is never - an abrupt end to his journey
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- # But somewhere - on the distant horizon
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- # There is a world
0:05:05 > 0:05:12- # Only if he reaches it in time
0:05:14 > 0:05:20- # But the spirit stirs
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- # And the clouds part
0:05:27 > 0:05:33- # Then a hand reaches out - and holds him tight
0:05:36 > 0:05:41- # Oh, the spirit stirs
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- # He stares through the windows
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- # At the world going mad
0:05:54 > 0:05:59- # And each hour passes by - like the wind
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- # He seizes every second
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- # And will live each precious moment
0:06:08 > 0:06:14- # Before each opportunity - passes him by
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- # There, on the horizon, - there is a world
0:06:23 > 0:06:30- # Only for him to reach it in time
0:06:31 > 0:06:38- # But the spirit stirs
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- # And the clouds part
0:06:44 > 0:06:51- # Then a hand reaches out - and holds him tight
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- # Oh, the spirit stirs
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- # It stirs towards the sun
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- # Through the delicate green leaves
0:07:03 > 0:07:09- # Where he'll be no-one but himself
0:07:09 > 0:07:15- # Flying away
0:07:25 > 0:07:31- # The spirit stirs
0:07:31 > 0:07:36- # And the clouds part
0:07:37 > 0:07:46- # Then a hand reaches out - and holds him tight
0:07:46 > 0:07:53- # Oh, the spirit stirs

0:09:07 > 0:09:10- # Distancing yourself from the world
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- # Sinking lower all the time
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- # Turning your back on yourself
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- # You walked into the night
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- # I didn't want you

0:10:13 > 0:10:17- # I want to see the day
0:10:17 > 0:10:24- # When the smile returns, knowing - you're back where you belong
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- # As you walk back from night to day
0:10:32 > 0:10:38- # I didn't want you to see my pain
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- # As I witnessed - you extinguishing the flame
0:10:43 > 0:10:49- # On the world - that had always been good to you

0:16:05 > 0:16:09- ..the title track from the EP - I released in 2007.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- We're all familiar with Efnisien...
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- ..from Branwen's story - in the Mabinogion.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- That song wasn't based - on his life story.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20- I used his name...
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- ..to represent all the unpleasant - people we meet in life.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- This next song - is one of my personal favourites.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35- Over time, many people have found - a different message in the song.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Simply, - it's a song about superstition.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Many people will be disappointed - to hear that!
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- I hope there's a guardian angel...
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- ..making sure I follow - the right path in life.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- You're all staring at me - as if I've lost the plot!
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- Tonight, I'll be singing - a new version of the song...

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- # But once day breaks
0:17:31 > 0:17:38- # There is no sign of my angel
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- # I will be free to fly away
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- # I will fly with faith
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- # To see dawn breaking
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- # Without fear - of the morning's brightness
