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

Another one where the riff fell out of me on a rainy summer's day. The words came to me, or more like fell out of me, while stuck in cold airplane with just a few people, waiting to fly home.
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…

I've been obsessed with this song since I watched a Rick Beato video that called out how the awesome guitar solo was criminally buried in the mix. Plus, it's yacht rock, and if there's one thing I love, it's yacht rock. So I set out to record…
The August 2023 30 Day Songs prompt came from a list of ChatGPT country song names a friend posted to Facebook. I started off trying to make fun of the genre and instead wrote a song I think I sorta like. Rumor is there's a second mix floating…
Here we stand beneath the sky
Take my hand as time rolls by
Here we stand, nobody else around
Did we land on solid ground?
Along the ledge
Side by side
So near the edge
Of the great divide
For Heaven's sake
I have no doubt
The steps…
The last wood of the season burning
Another winter - see you on the other side
After everything has died
The last leaves of the season falling
Soon the air will be filled with dark and doubt
And the fire's going out
The last night of…
This one is short and to the point. Dedicated to those with with guts to fly in the face of conformity and live their best life. I try but it's hard to detox after all these years. Recorded as part of the August 2022 RPM - Record Every Month challenge…
Based on a riff brought back to life after many years, and remembrance of a childhood fever dream. Wrap this in the context of the past two years and this is the musical result.
Sometimes life knocks you down and decides to kick a few times for good measure. It can be hard to push though at times, but it’s important to persevere because it can and will get better. This is a song about staying strong and remaining hopeful…
Since venturing beyond twenty atmospheres, our intrepid explorers were assumed lost forever. Never underestimate the human spirit and instinct for survival, especially when it’s fueled by a defiant shanty.
There are too many battles to fight in life, sometimes it's best to just walk away.
Written & recorded Aug 2021 as part of the RPM Challenge: Record Every Month Challenge
Remixed: Sept 25, 2021
Can you hide in happiness
Can you disguise the sadness in your voice
Could you play only major chords
Can you hide in happiness
Choose a part of you to show
And no one around you can know
Just how deep the scars go
Can you hide in…
Here's the last one of a batch of new songs

You know, sometimes life can be a real rollercoaster ride
Sometimes I'm free and easy, sometimes I just wanna fight
It's…
One of my latest songs
All instruments and voals by me

Sometimes I wonder : Can we go on like this?
Sometimes I wonder what it is that we miss
I'm getting bored with the way things go
We have to…
Now with more awesomeness! Thank you to This Wretched Vessel Lead vocalist for adding in some Gang vocals to beef up the chorus. Also borrowing their percussionist for some tambourine to give the song some extra pop!
You know I can’t think…
We decided to give the kids an outlet that wasn’t pandemic or lockdown based this February, and made an album as a family for the RPM Challenge 2021. It was just the most precious, funny, brilliant month.
This song is incredibly special in so, so many ways. I am sitting here, just listening...it's another piece of sheer perfection. Words can't do it justice.

I really like the feel of this cut. It's really earthy and spacious at the same time. Cool track!

The essence of punk.
