Mosquito Records London PTY Ltd proudly presents a collection of 89 original poems and lyrics by singer, songwriter and actor Ike Moriz from the past two decades. Here you will find all your favourite Moriz song lyrics in poem form from his very first hit singles 'Fall Into The Sun’ (2002) or 'Play Me’ (2005) to songs like 'Dangerous Rhymes' or 'City Lights' from his latest album release 'Dragons’ (2020). The collection also includes a number of previously unreleased poems like 'All In All, Hunky Dory’, 'Love And Fear’, ‘Oblivion’ and 'Nightflight'. 

Moriz, who has been a hobby photographer since his early childhood days, also contributed a selection of his own photographs that he felt would complement the message of his poetry. They depict some of the most beautiful landscapes the Western Cape (South Africa) has to offer. Moriz's picture of 'Ike’s Thumb’, a rock formation on Chapman’s Peak mountain in Hout Bay that is named after the singer, can be found on page 91, paired with the lyrics to his 2008 song 'I’ll Be Your Man’. 

Other snapshots from the singer’s music career show him and other band members during their many live performances and tours all over the world. 

On the whole, this book is an elegant presentation of words and visuals, offering a different perspective of the author’s creative output and career since starting out in London in 1999.

"This cat writes a fine tune" (FHM, SA); "Huge pop arrangements and songs with giant gold hooks" (Amazon, UK); "His rock/indie sound is acoustic and edgy (Cosmopolitan, SA); "Upbeat & uplifting, strong vocals & timeless melodies” (The New Age, SA); "The Crown Jewel of South Africa” (IAE Magazine, Atlanta, USA)
