I'm really not sure if i like this guys music or not it's quirky and different and YES i am choosing to ignore incidents that happened ages ago concerning him and a girl who was in love. that's all.

I have heard the song but I can't decide if this guy has actually gone off the deep end or just imitated the 30 year old emo to snare his teenage lover. I suppose he had to do this to get famous because he can't write many decent lyrics and really, really, really can't compose melodies. I see how a 15 year old could fall for it though. People overlook that, at 15, you get carded for cigs and alcohol, you probably won't have access to drugs other than weed (if that), you can't legally drive or get into nightclubs -- a 30 year old who can do all that probably seems like a rockstar. I don't think [name redacted] is at risk though, he seems to be alluding, rather obviously, to killing off his marriage for a new relationship, hence the lines about "till death do us part". Thought the tabloids would be all over this by now though...

I've just flicked through her instagram pictures - one of them is a picture of a Marina and the Diamonds CD, on which one of her friends has left a message asking her to come home, telling her that everyone is worried about her and that she isn't in trouble - I think it's safe to say that it's definitely her account. Hopefully, if nothing else she'll get in touch with her family to let them know that she's OK. While I in no way approve of what Mr Forrest has chosen to do, I am quietly wondering if that return ticket would have been used (as planned, maybe?), if the decision had not been made to publicise this so widely, so early on. While Mr Forrest is highly unlikely to be chomping at the bit to return, I also doubt very much [name redacted] is looking forward to it either - she's going to be "That Girl" for quite some time, and probably longer still in her own head.

If you want to hear some more worrying lyrics worthy of a 15 year old, check out "Arrows and Hearts" demo on his website. Seems to allude to the singer cutting his veins having killed his muse.

Let's just hope neither has done or will do anything silly and both are in a position to come to their senses - the early pangs of love are irresistible but they soon wear off. Love can be madness, from my reading of the situation the guy is obviously an articulate, emotional and compassionate human being. The situaion needs assessing with empathy and patience by all. I understand the public concern but many comments are irresponsible and unfeeling and I trust don't play into the mindsets or actions of either [name redacted] or Jeremy.

I also happened to notice on his soundcloud account an Emily Forrest. Who happens to be his wife as we know. But on her song lists are his "love" songs to [name redacted] which Emily obviously thought were about her. They were both following and followers of Jeremy too. Some strange irony here.

reading the words to those songs is he the one thats 15 , they are like the stuff 15 year old emo girls write trying to look deep and brooding . The poor girl is to young to see it at moment but one day will cringe all the cheesey crap , but guess thats why hes with her to young to know better . Emotions are so overwhelming as teenager just as they are at 5 its all new and exciting thats why we still treat them as children because they are children no matter how grown up they seem . Its just a shame that there are people who for there own reasons dont ever become emotionally mature . At 16 i was so sure i was in love i moved in with a man of 47 . I thought no one understood our love and my family were just trying to ruin my life , now i know how wrong i was , she will too .

Really interesting blog post, thank you. I hope [name redacted] is returned home safely.

Thanks, Rachel. Police appear to have the social media aspect well in hand. I doubt much of it has escaped notice.

You're absolutely right. I googled 'mermaiddimples' (no space) and came up with a twitter account and a few other bits for a girl called Megzy. I'm guessing it not a coincidence as it looks like her. There is various instagram activity on there though I don't have an iphone so wouldn't be able to check. Her instagram tag is 'mermaid dimples' maybe somebody could have a look and see when the last activity was? Might be worth reporting.?

Thanks for your comment, John. With luck, Mr Forrest will come to appreciate how his perspective has let him down. I hope sooner, rather than later.

Yes, I've wondered that myself about 'Starsigns': http://soundcloud.com/jeremy-ayre-music/starsigns She's in my head And I can see trouble Ahead I did my best But it couldn't keep me Falling She's dressed in red She's honest and she's Beautiful I can't wait to get up behind Closed doors [and] (You're working?) While I'm singing In my Living room It's the closest That I can get to Holding you But I'm tired Of wanting you more Every day But I can't shake These feelings Just won't go away. If I could do anything I swear I'd run to you. If I could be anything I swear I'd be with you

Many, many years back (fifty or so I would have to say) a contemporary teacher in London fell for a 15-year-old schoolgirl at the school where he was employed. This otherwise rational young man temporarily lost his bearings but fortunately recovered after a few weeks before any harm was done. From what I can gather Mr Forrest is experiencing a similar trauma to that faced by my acquaintance back then. As a former teacher myself, I witnessed a number of occasions where young girls between the ages of 12 and 16 at school had crushes on male teachers – it happened to me a few times. But, if one is a true professional one should be able to override any emotional response. It may not be easy but it has to be done. I would ask Mr Forrest to bear all this in mind and to return to Britain with [name redacted] as soon as possible.

Most chilling lyrics in regards to the current situation have to be; \' conversations will not replace, what i want to do, reservations keep me far away from being close to you\'

If you check out the song "Starsigns" which is on his Soundcloud. Also take a look at his followers to the right and "[profile name redacted]" looks like [name redacted], who has one follower, JeremyAyreMusic. "[profile name redacted]" has also favourited the song, so perhaps this one is (also) about [name redacted]?
