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.

Thank you Greg Connor for putting his wonderful harmonica on this song. Enjoy!!
My little steam train
Rolling down the tracks
My little steam train
Going to take me back
All aboard!
The conductor shouts
Hear that horn blow

Excellent stuff guys.
@greg - You're not alone, it seems that us chaps hear a nice blues song about a train... and our spouses hear something else entirely.
I did this last year for a friend of mine who asked me to do a Jingle for his Company. It's a cross between Good Day Sunshine and a Brady Bunch Vacation Sing A Long in the Old Family Cruiser..LOL!! I recruited my children for a bit of background…

My favorite song by Jane Bowers
She was still alive back when I 1st learned
this song from the Kingston Trio.
I didn't know, back then, that I could have met her.

Song inspired by listening to Nick Cave and reading all the bad news in the newspapers. Enjoy.
Lyrics and Music by yours truly, Nick Plagakis
Damn it’s cold, as I exit this road
Time is now to intoxicate the soul
Up high, private jets…
drowning out the screams of my insanity.
another insane song. :P this one starts off soft and progresses to a more metal proggish song.
it runs almost 9:30 mins. thanks for giving a listen.

This is one of my favorite collaborations with Paul Lennon so far. I wrote the song with king of a bluesy feel, and then found a perfect marriage for the music with one of Paul's awesome tracks. Then we tinkered on it together to make it so…

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

Gorgeous vocal.
Oh very tasty. Very tasty indeed... It had me thinking Ronnie Lane? Excellent stuff.
Love it.

Sell-out!! Nice one, sounds really good.

Wow - you've been doing some monster vocals recently. This one's superb.
... I have absolutely no idea why I like it!
WOW! This is either sublime genius or utter twaddle. I choose the former... Love it.
Love it! Where's the rum?
Well that works.
Nice one guys :)
Aww - gorgeous song and delivery.
This is really good. Excellent lyrics and imagery, really good groove with just the vocal, guitar, and claps. And I love the chorus.
Flip! What a journey! There's everything in here.
Oooh yeh, like it.
Like it. You guys are making a very cool team - keep going.
Oh yes, play it some more! Instant fave :)
That's a nice mood. Paints pretty pictures.
Did I not fave this last time?? **FIXED**
