I often stop and think of William
Up on Skinners Ridge
He passed me on his way back down
As I passed from being a kid
A shame you’d say
But aint that the way
Things…
Thank you for being you
No one else would do
Thank you for being you
You're all I ask for
Too many nights alone
tonight I'm coming home
open up the wine cos I'm
gonna be with the one who's shown
Me the ways of old
Women into wives…

RPM 2011 number 2. Inspired by an ex-friend of mine who had the most dazzling rose tinted glasses. Always used to envy the simplicity of his view and how nothing could ever get to him (everything gets to me).. since i knew him I know a lot of…

This song is sort of about making a clean break, killing off the lead character in your story and burying him along with all his sins before the inevitable happens, and the bad guy gets his. Initially came from a jam with my mate Ben Price who…
One of two pretty little interludes for the album, both of which are based around a guitar part Gary did for me. I've put different synth chords behind each of them to cover the two sides of the lady that inspired the full song, Jekyll & Hyde…

A dramatisation of events from school.. hope 'Shaun' never hears this, and if he does, that he likes it in someway, and that things turned out alright in the end..
It was always rainin.
It filled him up
It summed it up
So perfectly
How nothing…
Jekyll and Hyde
are both well and alive
and they're living inside of home
Jekyll is kind to me
Smiles all the time to me
Hyde is a wild arrow from a bow
As much as Jekyll makes you smile
If she drinks herself some wine
You'll be the one that…
I love the summer-ish country feel to this song. The instrumentation really gives a kick to this number. The acoustic instruments sound really pristine. Cool number.

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee

Two young men upped and

both cold cos it was rainin hard.

A folksy number inspired by the stories my nan told me many moons ago about her uncle Herbie..
Herein lies the story, of a man named Herbie Jones.
Not a million miles away from a man you might have known.
A miner in the twenties, blue scars…
Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2

another home recording using a Zoom MRS-1044 and 3 mics on the amps and lizzie. the geeky stuff, fender strat with the David Gilmour EMG setup through and Ampeg reverberocket amp. Sam used his boogie amp with his Ibanez.
So I'm back at Caffe Lena on Thursday night gearing up for my two songs and a band called "Driftwood" takes the stage (banjo, acoustic guitar, fiddle) and blows everyone away.
Kinda gets me thinking...
And writing...

Coming down…
dedicated to a pretty girl I know... :P

smile for me, pretty girl
smile for me, please

to get you to acknowledge me

Reg is willing to do anything to cure himself of his addiction to alcohol and when he hears that they are restarting the experiments with LSD to help cure alcoholism he has to find out more. Through internet research Reg finds out that the experiments…

Some may say that given time, every one messes up and thinks of no one else,
Sins their sin, their selfish acts.
But you I would have sworn were different, a faithful heart.
Not without fault, but I never thought you would cut me like that.

Hello stranger.
I've been waiting with a compliment for you,
In case it's something that you don't already know.
Hello stranger.
There is always something left unsaid.
But just ask me and i'll tell you, though I don't even know your name.
We…
It's all just a blur (since the time I last saw you)
Eat, sleep, and dream, but I can't feel.
I live in the past so that I won't forget a single thing.
I wonder again if you ever miss me?
I'd give anything, but that's so cliche.
You live in my…
I'll get over this,
There's no need to talk about it.
As soon as you are gone I'll start to make myself forget.
Just go..
There's really nothing left, you don't have to stay here (at all)
I misunderstood your intentions here.
There's still time…
yeah fair play.. hooked from a couple of seconds in. love the lyrics, and the effect on the vocals at the start. and then.. well, explodes. incredible quality.. especially in three weeks! cf my tripe for what us mere mortals manage!!

This is a guitar piece in classical style in 17 notes per octave using the 17 version of the phyrgian mode. In normal 12 equal tuning phyrgian mode starts on…
i thoroughly enjoyed this. jus read the description n understood as far as.. this is a guitar piece! some people really know their shit! tis a good thing
I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!
*Inspired in part at least by accidental meat on meat.*
Here's the original track.
Man that's awesome norm!!! Only just getting round to hearing it but love what you did here. Cant stop physically moving me 'ed to it (which is a shame in a way cos i have a hang over!). Its a great sound.. honoured!

Totally pro.
I hear a vibratone! And I thought I was the only guy who had one. ;) *Great* song.
Ah, this DOES move very nicely. You are letting your Little Feat influence shine!
Excellent! Reminds me a bit of "Uneasy Rider" by Charlie Daniels, which is a song I have always wanted to cover.
"I climbed the mountain and the doubting started stopping."
I'm up dancing round the room! A extremely oh so fine trac! w;-)
LOL! Love the humor, then a brilliant vocal! This is excellent! w;-)
I like the high strummed parts interjected periodically with the fuzz parts. Moody number, and I don't mean a pun here. Good stuff.
This is brilliant.
I really like the turn you took this year Alex. This song has some very cool twists and turns. Really a great listen.
And all of a sudden, I realize there's a theme going on here. Love the brief interlude.
Another great rocker. Sweet.
Two of my favorite musicians in one song. Nice.
This is really inventive and cool song. I had to come back and listen twice, just to get a fix on all of the things going on.
I love the summer-ish country feel to this song. The instrumentation really gives a kick to this number. The acoustic instruments sound really pristine. Cool number.
Kick-arse number, love the guitar. The vocals are primo, great high notes. This would be a great song to hear live in a club.
Really enjoy the blend of instruments in this very pretty song. Starts very much like Neil Young.
The sound and words and playing and singing style all work together really well here.
this is a great tune. dynamic and rockin. another sweet set of songs.
another good one!

relating.
i tried this treatment but it just made the sofa talk. and let me tell you, my sofa was less than encouraging.
just knew I'd love the lyrics!! Thanks for humouring the demanding child :)
:) bigging myself up here, but seriously.. what other song starts with someone saying i dont know 700 times!
love the bass in this. guitar plays off it nicely.
Yes.. brilliant.
lead to this via the cover. brilliant.
like the scratchy scratchy guitar in this. gives it a sort of niggly vibe to it. lends an awkwardness to it. s'good touch. works.
hope its not a bad thing to compare to lost prophets but does remins me of them at times.. which aughtra b a good thing right?
