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…
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…

Hey Alex, nice to hear something "new" and something that you did with Ben! I knew you were working on stuff together at one point so this is a real treat! Any more?

Tell me can you teach me bout your finely written poetry

Such a fine hand they'd say wooo, study it closely
Been practicing all day I think I'm ready least I aughta be.
Caligraphy…
No - I definitely favourited this months ago. Excellent track! Need to hear new stuff from you, Alex! Don't make me wait until February, that would just be rude.

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…
Can i get a little whisky in this water said John
The day the world stopped being fair
I didnt know what to say so I said yeah.
I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand
And said friend, only true friends understand
He said friend…
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…
Hey Alex...this track made me turn green with envy. Your voice is f***ing awesome. The trade-off of the gtr and the keys is perfect, well balanced. Laid back back-beat groove. Yeah, just checked the mirror, I am pure green.
Cheers,
Gary

Let me introduce to you
Every woman child and man
The place I did my growing up
Raised by grandma's hand
I think you'll find
That folks are kind
They're sure to ask you in
Enter the warmth
Close the door
And my story will begin…
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...

to get you to acknowledge me

great sentiment.. i feel this when i escape to the park in Autumn - brilliantly articulated. love the vocal delivery too. reminds me of something but cant think what.. eno? a bit? good stuff anyhoot :)
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
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.
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 thoroughly enjoyed this. jus read the description n understood as far as.. this is a guitar piece! some people really know their shit! tis a good thing
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!
Comments on A Bit More Better Productions's stuff
Powerful!
Alex, I like this but you need to bring your voice forward in the mix some. I want to be able to hear your words. J MT
nice!
Good to hear you're still at it!
Hey Alex, nice to hear something "new" and something that you did with Ben! I knew you were working on stuff together at one point so this is a real treat! Any more?
It's really more than a demo Alex, very nice indeed.
No - I definitely favourited this months ago. Excellent track! Need to hear new stuff from you, Alex! Don't make me wait until February, that would just be rude.
Love that verse melody - wonderful!
Another solid track. Good stuff Alex.
Ok, I just got a little greener. I love big soaring songs like this. So open, so wide. Great song Alex, great song.
Another great song...it sounds like Blind Faith wants to be you. I love the tone of this song. The gtr riffs are pure ear candy. Very tasty.

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?
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!!
