About The Book
Ashton's debut written work contains full album lyrics, thoughts, poems, short stories, and other oddities by the author. Ashton shares musings about life, the creative process, and his place in the world. His thoughts and at times humorous observations are woven around the lyrics for the new album, selected unreleased poems and short stories, along with some out of print lyrics and previously unspoken dreams.

About The Music
12 new songs, written, recorded and produced by Ashton (with the exception of "Heroes"), featuring some of his most personal work to date. The bulk of the work was written and recorded between October 2019 and February 2020, with a handful of songs being a little older. Ashton has described the work as “cinematic and intimate, built around, or at times beneath the words and their delivery”. The songs range from dark acoustic journeys to fully realized theatrical imaginings, with an otherworldly charm and passion. From haunting to haunted, this is indeed poetry for the brokenhearted and the hopeful.
