Wow! This one is sadness perfection. Your voice with its gravelly undertones - the perfect accompaniment to these lyrics. Mesmerizing.
And on a side note.... Moonlighting!!!! Ahhhhhh I loved that show. So. Much. Sexual. Tension..... and funny too. Loved it!

I was asked (told?) to upload something happy. Hmmm, I thought. This will end well...

Don't usually comment on my own songs, but in case there's any confusion... YES Greg - there is no humour in the song at all, none intended, I feel it the same way as you... and I actually love it for that myself... it's what the song evolved into from a joke verse I wrote (In Tom Waits voice, Roger! hehe) ... But when I was first recording it, in my own voice, x years ago it was SO sad (and not in a "Bobby Goldsboro - Honey" good kind of way) that we decided to put it in the filing cabinet for a while!

Well done! The title is very inviting. I couldn’t help but listen.
I never found the humor, but rather a poignant feeling of loss, eloquently described.

Andrew, Connie's Song is a song I do not remember writing and I have no idea what it's about. I must have been very sleepy. I have never sung in that voice before. Thank you for commenting.

Woah Yeah :)
Love this.
On this one it sounds like you need to find a bassist who thinks/plays like you guys do... I'm too busy unfortunately... and I live too far away... (and I'm not good enough neither) lol
Backing track for Coz I love you by Slade, this was my first attempt at doing a cover version. It's a lot different from the original.
this is the new version with a few added instruments and the vocals ...
The Inappropriate Question
G C/Gbass
She said, “I can see that you’re hurting.
And I can see that you are wearing a ring.
Perhaps an inappropriate question,
but I’d like to ask you something.
Soon I will be a grand mother
I have a husband…
So, I'll drink up, beautiful,
I'll leave bottles, up and down the coast,
When I get to that light house,
I'll burn it down, and laugh.
Skeletons rise up to meet me,
In a place where the waves touch the beach,
And hollowed bones, broken…
Outside this motel room, there is a world gone man. Mortals eating the flesh off the face of other mortals. Mad shooters mass murdering strangers for no apparent reason. Well, baby, I say we just stay here, you and me, make love, and forget about…
Based on a poem by William Sharp that I found while researching my family history.
The poem has been put to music once already, by one Christopher Goldsack, http://www.sundown.pair.com/Sharp/piratepoem.htm but I wanted to put my own little…
This is a real grower. I appreciated it when you first posted it, but it didn't grab me personally - i was in a different place, I guess.
But listening again today - woo... I been grabbed :)
My wife got me a mandolin for either Christmas or a birthday and I think this was one of the first songs I wrote on it.
My Father
Here in this foreign land
The Lord God takes my hand
One day - the Promised Land
And no more I’ll cry…
This song comes from comparing my behavior to that of my children. And I have found out that history does indeed repeat itself.
Thanks for stopping by to listen. I'll post the lyrics as soon as I find them.
ER
Really enjoyable 3/4 hour listening to your stuff so far - stopped me going and sorting out the rhythm section on the thing I'm working on (gave me some ideas though!)
Looking forward to hearing more :)
I cried a river
lot's of songs and tears have been named and shed by this same title
we did a little Micheal Jackson from J5 days 70's
recorded in LA by Brian Clark and Amit Bustan
This is the one that brought me in. I saw "Achilles Last Stand" on the recently posted and thought "you gotta be kidding me?!!" lol
I didn't even realise it was a live recording first time (on the naff PC speakers).
FABULOUS version - and now I know you can do those vocals live.
Tell the rest of the guys "WOW!" as well :)
Another fabulous vocal.
You guys have definitely got something going for me. Songs, superb arrangements, musicianship, your voice on top...
Classy emotional stuff.

Love this playlist!!!!! It's keeping me company this morning with my tea!
Beautifully done.

I'm going to play this a lot along with She was dead ... fantastic.
Hauntingly beautiful. Well done!
Love the chord changes in the intro. Great hook.
Yup the same around here the haint remains when the body is gone. Its a bit hard to explain unless you are A Cherokee I liked your explanation for all of us to peek into your process. good on this

A little touch of 80's or am i wrong? anyway i like this. Production value: ACE.
You always have the crispiest sounding rock pieces. Very nice!
Sounds to me like a song ' The Child Catcher ' should sing, Ha Ha, creepy but happy all at the same time, love it.
Ha! Whoever gave you such a command is a fricking genius... And boom! You've created a new genre: s-c-a-r-y happy. Arrangement is fabulous - backing vocals, guitar...brilliant! *hides*
Crazy good moves slide into a Beatles style chorus how did this work ? I don’t know but it did . Most respected
Going to have this one locked in my head for a very long time...... thanks! (I think!!)
Great message and wonderful music. Your guitar parts are fantastic.

Wow (big Slade fan here), this is REALLY interesting. I like it a lot. Can't wait to hear the vocals on it.
Brilliant. "How do we know that a promise is anything more than a wish..." Woo This lonely little song needs a lot more attention.
I think this is so good I can't figure out anything sensible to say. I LOVE this song and how you've recorded it.
Oh yeah... love it, my sentiments entirely :)
This is a real grower. I appreciated it when you first posted it, but it didn't grab me personally - i was in a different place, I guess. But listening again today - woo... I been grabbed :)
Love those harmonies.
Ooo this resonates big time with me... lol Nice one
Magnificent.

I love the "broken rhythm" riff under the "I'm tired of all your broken promises". And another of those vocals...
Another superb vocal.

Superb. This one switched me from the naff PC speakers to the headphones. What a vocal.... wonderful song. Love it.
Wooo. Rocking stuff. And a fine song. And I love your vocals.
Very very tasty
Oh yeah - a 20 second fave...
