In 2007, Charlie Winston released his self produced debut album “Make Way” and shortly after embarked on tour with Peter Gabriel on European Summer tour.
Charlie also composed music for film (The Day I will Never Forget by Kim Longinotto), theatre (Almeida Theatre, Nottinghill Gate Theatre), dance (Sadler's Wells, Ballet Rambert) and has often appeared in various TV (Top Of The Pops, Good Morning TV, CD UK) and radio shows (The Steve Merchant Show on BBC 6Music, Spanish Radio 3 with Julio Ruiz, BBC Radio with Stephen Foster).
In Charlie Winston's band, the Oxymorons, harmonica plays devil's advocate within moods, from dirty blues riffs to ethereal angelic cries, meanwhile bass, drums and guitar lay the ground rules, only to be broken. To add to it the Extramorons brass quartet puff their way to a sound that’s carnivalesque. There is an overriding positivity throughout every performance that leaves the audience wanting to dance, laugh and cry all in the same breath.

Truth
Charlie Winston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leaving all of yours behind, oh
We didn't know what would unfold
Just the feeling of a good thing so we leapt into the unknown
Took your time to understand
All the ways I wear my love, love
With a shield in your hand
But no one broke their bones
The bond is bigger with each day we live
I believe in truth
Took a long time to get there
But we made it
I made it with you
I believe in truth
Took a long time to get there
But we made it
I made it with you
Well, we had some ups and downs
But it never stopped the flow
Even days I played the clown
You believed in me enough to let me be
And think about the man I want to be
I believe in truth
Took a long time to get there
But we made it
I made it with you
I believe in truth
Took a long time to get there
But we made it
I made it with you
I'm not gonna lie
Well, it took some time to let it go
What I left behind
That means nothing now I've got the flow
I believe in truth
I believe in truth
I believe in truth
Took a long time to get there
But we made it
I made it with you
I believe in truth
Took a long time to get there
But we made it
I made it with you, you, yeah
