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

Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
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

L.A.M. Stands for Loud!Awesome!Music! In which,
I love all "Electronic Music", soo many different styles:) The l.a.m. are my initials so it was pretty easy finding a name for myself. "Reactor"
just sounded appropriate for the song. I have to…
This should be the final tune from Nitro's "Wanna Dance" album project. Ruthie's "theme song". I added the slide guitar at the end.

Ruthie:vocals
Tommy:Bass
Charlie:harmonica

I'm learning to 'listen' to the 'flow' of life all around me and not get so caught up in little things that don't really matter.
Learning to enjoy! Life is good...
The river runs
and i look into it
i see myself
in a million faces there…
like the sentiment of this a lot. The hook is subtle but really grabs hold. vocal reminds me of tim buckley for some reason. great stuff anthony.
ps. if u fully figure out how to let go of things that dont matter.. tell me your secret! The song blocked it temporarily.. but WHY WONT PEOPLE INDICATE!! :)
as well as enjoying the interpretation.. I LOVE the 'about' column!! haha. Me ol' ma does a similar thing when she sets the meals down 'meats overdone, potatoes could have been on a bit longer and the sauce is too thick. Enjoy!'
Growing up is hard.
For everyone.
I once had a Facebook Friend named Shannon Elizabeth Hardwick. A poet, from Midland, Texas, doing advanced studies at Sarah Lawrence. She was so good she could write a hundred pages about how she couldn…
This is my 12 hour song (written, recorded, mixed, mastered) ... I pined away all day at it while a storm kept me company.
instrumentation:
a man lost his house and sold me his fretless bass for next to nothing. a family friend gave me…
dont know how you create a feel like that.. is literally a complete mystery to me how you manage it. Sounds so smooth. think ill have to take this one on hols. :)
I wrote this song after my brother passed away a couple years ago. His girlfriend of 4 years asked me to write the music to a poem she wrote. This is what it turned out to be.
Lyrics by Annie Buller.
ah. its you again. i keep having to return to the laptop to see who it is. and it keeps being you! again.. LOVELY voice. The melody really draws the emotion of the lyrics. Great.
This is what happens when three friends get together on pasta making day.
Special thanks: Annie, for your voice; Dana, for your voice and your musical knowledge (she knew exactly what chords we needed).
Dana is a fellow alonetoner, you should…
more tabla/club music. this one needs some melodic work, perhaps some more instrument layering, more chord progressions... anyhow, should be enjoyable enough for now.
certainly was enjoyable enough.. didnt shake my ass.. cos my belly goes with it.. but i felt it all the same. i find yo shit pleases on a level where most disappoints. like a bit of electronic stuff now and again and urs always seems to do the job. ta for that mucka.
exceptionally cool. been lookin for some music like this.. was aimlessly scouring amazon yesterday trying to find the likes. and here it was all along. great feel to it..
I love it David! It takes it back more to how it was written.. only with piano instead of strummed acoustic. My missus will like it too as she wasnt happy with where i took it in the end. The anguished vocal really ups the emotion, as does the stripped down arrangement. Definitely a job well done. Thanks for doing it boss :)
I cant believe how this one crept in! I was walking home and pow.. suddenly I'm hummin it. Was a slow burner for me and enjoyed other tracks on the album much more on first listen but yeah.. its class. And it wont leave me head!
[Thanks to Helen and Colin for coming to my aid with the warblings! :) ]
When You Least Expect It
And you're out to dry
And its all too hectic
Thats when it comes x 2
And it feels electric
And you feel alive
Cos when you least expect…

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!

really like the sounds in this. good track for motivating action too.. washed up before i'd known i'd started. :)
