Singer - Songwriter from Shropshire in England
Born some moons ago, always loved writing and drawing sice i was a kid and have written songs since i was 13, over the years since i have recorded on everything from little tape decks to nowadays my yammy n12. Eventually got brave and released some of my efforts at music onto the internet in 2007 followed a year later by a debut nerve shredding live performance of some of my tunes and a few quirky covers.

Story behind the song
One of the easiest tunes i ever wrote, it just fell out of my guitar one day when i was jamming about, also it turned out to be a bit of an improvised recording which i love to do, with both the bridge and last solo sections being invented on the spot!, musically this took on a life of its own once i found the guitar sound that powers the tune along, with the solo's being something im very proud of as again i never pre plan them and listening now i still can't believe its me playing them as they are some of my finest solos i think i've ever done. The song's words about freeing yourself from a dissapointing life and looking to take a chance still ring true to me now and this tune is probably the catalyst that fired me up to finally play live, it also has huge emotional worth to me and still makes me cry when i listen to it, although thankfully when i play it live stripped down solo acoustically I contain myself!!! :).
Lyrics
Shadows of enio (ride upon the storm) (words and music by Warren Jenks) Like an astronaut i'd shoot for the stars but i'd rather head to mongo than to mars i hear the nightlife is so much better there if a touch austere but do i really care I've gotta get outta here, no more curtain calls Take me now,steer me off to ride upon the storm, I've gotta move on from here to reach for the skies lead me now take me off to ride upon the storm Like a fish outta water i feel like i can fly so give me wings let me breathe before i die Take me away now from the safe life that i lead grab me now lead me off to ride upon the storm I've got so much to give so please don't pass me by pick me up, take me now to ride upon the storm. (solo) I have so much left in me a gift i can't ignore break me out send me up to ride upon the storm (cause) i want to look back and be proud of what i've done so take me now let me loose to ride upon the storm (second solo) Well i don't know where im going to (So here i stand) here i am to ride upon the storm. 2007 Warren Jenks (p)2007,2008 Warren Jenks.
