Really enjoyed it. I loved the modal/almost Celtic yet interpersed with jazzy chords. And the word themselves were beatiful. Using horns in the middle section was great, too. The personal story behind this song must be a moving one.
From December 2017, my take on an old classic, with a little twist of a bonus number near the end. It may be the first tune I did in 6/8 time, at least that anyone has heard from me. This (sort of) should have a rolling highlands sound to it…
The guitar part came first, and it was so much fun to just walk around the place playing it. It had to become a song. In a very circuitous way became the title track to this year's record.
Three friends gone in three months. One on purpose, one by accident, one by surprise. Love those who are close to you, and be kind, for everyone you meet carries a heavy load.
The song is supposed to be one of those "Saturday Morning Hits", which goes back to when I was a kid watching Top of The Pops in '72-'74 with my older sister in the UK. You would see all these bands playing their hit on TV, with all these kids…
This one's the single. It's fun to play and fun to sing when I was in the studio. It's meant to played loud. Actually, the whole album is. Thanks for listening! Cheers, Gary
This pretty much sums it all up for me I guess.

FOUND IN THE MOVEMENT
She moves in a spinning reminder
A violent link to the past
Don't you dare try to define her
She might not be big, but she's fast
A release of God-given aggression
An arm near her head in defense
Somewhere just short…
An afternoon on the Saco with Karen always leads to delusions of grandeur. Now where did I leave that eye patch?
SACO RIVER PIRATES
Another Maine sunrise on the not so high seas
Hand me my eyepatch, I’ll help you tie the peg leg to your…
Love is worth a chance, don't you think?
THE ONE THING
Love isn’t always the way it should be
Man, it can pull you right down to your knees
Still it’s the only way you can get free
Take it from me
Love isn’t something that you should…
Yeah, I'm pretty much willing to do anything for you.
ALL OF ME
I always thought that only fools
Could fall for love at first sight
But when I caught you in the corner of my eye
I knew they might’ve had it right
You wouldn’t think a…
Created all in one go with nothing to write on while I walked the Hilton Head beach in the rain last spring, this gentle little song more came through me than from me.
ROLLING ON BY
I had an old soul when I was a young man
Turning my phrases…
Be careful. She's pretty powerful.
SHE WALKS
She walks on the leaves without making a sound
She walks like she can’t hear the dragons all around
She walks and the sun stays a pace or two behind
She walks with your secrets in the back…
You'll tell me when you're ready.
DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT THAT RIGHT NOW
Where have you been is all they’ve been asking
Where are you going is what I’d like to know
Why are you running when nobody’s chasing?
What are you hiding? What can’t…
Welcome to my day on the river with Karen, folks.
INTO THE LIGHT (THIS LAZY RIVER)
Take me down to the river
Throw the jackets in the hull of the boat
Let the current deliver
To the bend at the bridge where it’s harder to float
What…
You'll tell me when you're ready.
DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT THAT RIGHT NOW
Where have you been is all they’ve been asking
Where are you going is what I’d like to know
Why are you running when nobody’s chasing?
What are you hiding? What can’t…

Just like to say, heartfelt thank you for all of your kind comments! k&w
Reminds me in places of Gabriella Climi. Love it :)
A most impressive start guys! Brilliant, love it! Cheers Bethan
I've not heard anything this celestial since Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies. An entrancing piece of music with a dynamite mix.
great work, loved it!!
Great song....really like the feel of this song
Great track, sir. I hear some Blue Nile and Peter Gabriel influence in this; the quiet, distant introspection. Well done.
Possibly the most significant song written in the last decade. Period.
Way cool.
I remember this one....love this.
Ducks are a bunch of quacks!
Very nice....piano, strings.... :)
Love this. Hard to go wrong with piano and strings! Nice simple (and beautiful) melody, just the way it should be...
Great!!!
This is really nice - a nice piano, pretty melody, and a good arrangement with the strings. I like the title also.
Oh, hahahaha! Genius. ". . . complete with sound effects . . ."
