both cold cos it was rainin hard.

Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half

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

Based around a fragment I came up with around 10 years ago in University believe it or not, while I was learning to play guitar. As you can see, I was homesick. :) Thanks so much to Gary for adding a bit of spice with the bass, lead guitar and…
This one is about how falling in love kind of involves giving up any say in whether or not your heart gets trampled. It's about that fear. Gary doing a sterling job as usual on lead guitar..
She's amazing
Beauty holds no bounds
and her voice…
Stopped by to listen to this year's effort. Liked most of what I heard. I agree that falling in love involves fear, risk, and not a little anxiety. I know those emotions well.

This provides a theory which ties together two of my key traits a) always tired b) terminally disappointed by peoples lack of courtesy - there's a link people!
Did you ever feel so down
That you didnt know up
Didnt recognise highs
And smiles…

Musta been December cause the air mighty cold
A family was moving in, further down the road
They were not the colour of the others in the street
All the kids were laughing at the trainers on their feet
I was only young and so I guess I laughed…
glad you like it buddy.. was one of my favourites off the album as a song but a couple o things went astray during recording and pissed on it a bit. If I wasnt lazy I'd re-record it but yeah.. BANJO!!!
great playing, great track and love the way you recorded. Fancy doing something similar for next year maybe. its got the nice cozy feeling of the old crusty blues and folk cuts. awesome
Another one without lyrics. The title was my workingtitle. And I just thought it was a funny title (I think Rage Against the Machine is kind of silly) I quite like some of the sounds on this one (it's a Poly 800 through an Electro Harmonix Big…
Here the idea was that I was going to write from the viewpoint of someone who is paralyzed from the neck down and can through technology only watch other peoples life but not participate. It turned out a bit more general and ambiguous than that.

1.Afsluitdijk
...is a Dutch word and it's the name of the dam/road going from the province Friesland to North-Holland (and Amsterdam) The lyrics are about a 15-year old boy who feels so trapped in the boring Frisian town he's living in that he…
what a great track to kick off with. Love everything about it.. not sure I've heard your stuff before. So catchy, makes you want to listen to more. Which is what I'm gonna do now. :)
A chance gtr line turns into a big production. This is a song I wrote for myself, meaning it's probably too long, it probably has too many parts and it probably has too much going on in it. YET, I don't care. I wrote it for me. Oh, and I am very…
A song I've had stored in my head for quite awhile, though never committed to tape (erm... binary code) - probably because I thought it was a bit simple and even trite. Having to come up with an album's worth of material in a month cured me of…
Lyrics:
Pass me a handle of that old time tennessee
It's been a while since I've seen the devil
It's a common mistake to think that I'm a sweet and gentle soul
but give me a chance to change your mind
Cause you have never seen me like…
red cowboy and hot burrito were recordings done for a friend of mine who wanted to check out his new (old) drum machine. Both drum parts are constructed from prerecorded beats (from presets or previous owner, I don't know) and have 4-5 bass tracks…
this couldnt be more kick ass if it actually jumped out from the laptop and booted me. Its like the theme to the most deranged cop show ever. And it kinda makes me feel like doing something bad. I'm off to the park to kick pigeons.

I love your voice...reminds me of dave thomas from pere ubu...one of my favs
great song...amazing sound..love the big drum and piano groove..
Now country ballad,killer organ and nicely fingered piano ...well impressed.

I love story songs that have that touch of authenticity. Love it
I like guacamole!
Alex Moody, new king of the British Soul Singers...
Great collab here Alex and G Essex. Oooh, cool change up at 1:28.

I like your lyrics. Nice.
I really like this! Very catchy, with some real cool layered sounds.
Great song...very lush and hearfelt.
I'm going to be playing this over and over.
Shit, oh shit, shit! This just is not fair. So real. So right on, so I wish I wrote this, so I could sing it, cause I want to say it just like this.
David Byrne would have liked to have written and sung this... too bad for him, you did, and it's all you.
Amazing style...captivating songwriting!
This sounds awesome...a Neil Young/The Band vibe.
This is great...so much fun!
Nice instrumental mix
The more I listen...just keeps gettin' better! I agree with Kirk, great writing!
