This time paying homage to grandpa. Did I miss any dead folks out this album?
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
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
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
I'm gonna call you dirty from…
Got bumps on my body
One under my eye
Been there since birth
I don't know why
Have one on my leg and one on my back
I guess it's better than having a heart attack
Someone said "Know thyself" he was pretty wise
I thought I knew me pretty…
Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
A live studio take,made in San Francisco's "Different Fur Studio"deep in the heart of the "mission district"..a live audience made it a lot of fun!2010
Final version
One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
Final version of this tune - voice and guitar, banjoe accompaniment
i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…
like the stumbly rhythm to this.. cant see anything particularly adversely affected vocals wise butty. sounds fine to me. thats all im onna say about that
~Decrepit shadow of a piano in the shadows of former visitors~
I've played in such a cafe, a long time ago, for a meal/drink, thru the night. Surreal it was; second life. Yeah ...
instant.. i hate 4 in the morning. 3 can still be the end of a good night. but 4's always shit whether you've just got in or just got up. Four in the morning!!!
Lyrics
Take the lift and your half way up....
Reach the top and your half way up...
You didn’t see your rise, and Lost your way.....
Looking down on the world your tears fall...
You Missed the Beauty of the climb.
And now you’re…

Comments on A Bit More Better Productions's stuff
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!
