London based singer-songwriter, musician FERGUS on the stripped down acoustic version of "More Than I Deserve" (released via Goldun Egg Records and co-produced by him and Jake Gosling) shows his essence as a sonic storyteller who can move you with little more than his beautifully commanding voice and a guitar. Of course, it is the story, the song that he pushes tenderly with ascending guitar notes, deeply romantic, moving, pain endearing poetry and vocal melodies that step back then rush forward pushing against or embracing those very guitar notes and agitated strumming that reveals a fury coming from the heart and the gut.
About the track, FERGUS shares:” ‘More Than I Deserve’ was born out of conflict in a relationship. I wanted to convey that restless angst of turning things over and over in your mind, trying to find a way through that conflict. It’s a song about commitment and persevering, even though it hurts. So, although it sounds dark and painful, really, it’s a message of dedication and hope. A declaration of love.”
Lovely, naked and heart crushing.

Fergus writes songs according to his mood, often choosing to embrace the melancholy, and through it finding a place of healing, beauty, and serenity. His formative years were spent singing and touring professionally with choirs, and playing ‘cello with orchestras. When this period of his life - a half, up to that point - came to an end he found himself burnt out, without a sense of identity. Seeking self-discovery, he rebelled. After a time adrift, his love of making music returned for good. Fergus turned his ability to blend into a strength, achieving harmony with his guitar and himself.
