  • Rise Again

    6:12

    Written after a long winter of insomnia, this was the first song Craig finished in three years. It began as a note on a phone at 4am and became the anthem that gave Ashryn its name.

    Recovery
  • Quiet Harbour

    5:05

    A lullaby for anxious evenings, built around a single repeating piano figure meant to slow the breath.

    Calm
    Healing
  • Letters to My Younger Self

    6:41

    Craig wrote this as an apology and a thank you to the boy he used to be — the one who kept going without knowing why.

    Reflection
    Family
  • Ordinary Grace

    5:32

    About the small, unremarkable moments that quietly hold a life together: kettles, dog walks, a friend who texts first.

    Everyday Life
    Gratitude
  • Phoenix Street

    5:56

    Named after the road where Craig first played these songs to an audience of eleven people and one very patient barman.

    Resilience
    Hope
  • Long Way Home

    6:20

    A walking song for the days when progress is measured in steps rather than miles.
