Chopping up lamb for Moroccan deliciousness right now. Pondering your meat on meat reference. Thanks for that. ;-) Especially like this after the two minute mark. Kind of off-your-face cool.
[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…
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…
I heard a story about you
I didnt want it to be true
But it felt like it might
You, well it was all about you
and how the things that you do
Seem strangely undone
And life doesnt help out the weak
A lifetime tends to bring you some…
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.

thanks also for the nice comment on my stuff. and no, I've never heard of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, but I checked them out on youtube and liked them. thank for the tip.
I found this while doing some clearing out. Its the only demo me and a friend Ben Price recorded when we were briefly looking to form a band in about 2005/2006. Listening back to it, strained vocals aside I kinda liked it so thought I should give…
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
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…
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…
It's official, Tess and Beth love it. Aready got the melody sussed. Played it to T ess over the phone - totally up for it. Oh, I love bluesy
stuff. Thanks Alex xx

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...

smile for me, pretty girl
smile for me, please
i'd do anything you want
to get you to acknowledge me
but i breathe…

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…

goin to church it will be okay

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.
Some…
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 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!

Third listen...faved. Possibly too sophisticated for the untrained pallet on the first two tries. :-)
Quite a diversion for you Alex, a very well played and interesting piece, nicely done. Love the eastern flavour, Yum yum!

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?
