I don't know why, but for a few seconds I hated this, then my brain wised up :) Excellent track!! and as everybody else has mentioned - great vocal. Look forward to your album this year :)

First one for RPM 2011. This track has existed in my head to a greater or lesser extent for years but never got round to recording it. Now I have. :)
It would never have ended if it had been down to me
It would have blossomed, would have grown…

Evening old boy - I've done something fairly bizarre with this track. When I first got hold of the cd, before I had acccess to the lyrics, I completely misinterpeted (and mis-heard) them. I've written down what I thought I heard, which makes the words come from the point of view of a manipulative (and probably abusive), but slightly ashamed partner. I'll let you have then sometime, for interest. (Probably the greatest insult you can ever pay a songwriter!)

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...

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…
no guilt clean slate no guilt
clean slate no guilt clean slate
raw deal dealt by me today
goin to church it will be okay
say a prayer in a quiet voice
drink some coffee and rejoice clean slate

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!!

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!

Great voice man, love the vocals too. All around great track.
very excellent,, your poetry is striking,,, and your music ain't bad either (bit of a joke, since of course the music is very good),
That is a soulful vocal. Clearly you're a man to watch this year.
Love the opening mix of instruments on this. Inspired ... and then that wonderful vocal. Great track altogether.
excellent vocal
Spiffy guitar work.
You get some great sounds.... Cool chorus.
Striking vocals Alex. Spirited tune... Was that a distorted kazoo lead? :)
Damn Nice! Wish someone would tell me that secret as well
personal and haunting,,,
Great song...really captivating. A very soulful sound...really moving.
Glad to hear you're alive (and breathing!)
Excellent song excellently sung
Great track Alex!
I love this track Alex, you and Gary make a great team!
Very good tracks you got! Cool voice and instruments! Keep it up =) --------------------

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?
