New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…

This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…
One of my two contributions to a "Beatlesfest" we had over on songcrafters.org a few months back.
I still can't believe I covered this... having done it though, it feels like nothing is sacred. And, more worryingly, I feel I might possibly…
This is one of the things I was fiddling with when I sang Me and Bobby McGee as a distraction last week.
I'm working on finding out how to get acoustic stuff down consistently and effectively within the confines of what I've got here - I wasn…

Nice acoustic. Enjoying the guitar playing and the vocal accompaniment. The mix sounds great, and it took me half way through the song to realize that there were no drums. Like the lyrics, Thoroughly enjoyed.
I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…

I used to listen to the original version of this tune from Crash Bandicoot while driving to and from a job that I hated. It reminded me of working retail and how every customer is heartless and nothing is fair. After my success with making Fight…
This is the song that nearly killed my desire to have anything to do with music or recording ever again. Sure, let’s pretend that one cello is a whole symphony orchestra. Yes, that’ll be easy.
I learned a lot from this piece about trying to…
Take a look around...
Tell me what you see...
Anger in her face...
Cried with stolen tears...
Careful of her words.
They're not what they seem...
First to cast a stone.
Never without sin.

Let Old ghosts be gone
As time…
A little spaghetti metal featuring The Two Regs
The Hangman
It was a cloudless blue sky
there was no where for her to hide
in the hot sun, as she witnessed her man die
the accuser stood with his head high
as he told all his lies…
i always wanted to do a version of i am the walrus.
i did not include the radio part in the middle, nor all the
king lear quotes uttered. but i did use most of the strings
they used for effect. this is a kind of prog - psyche - hard rock…

This has a great feel/soul to it. Nice guitar playing and a great delivery of some fine lyrics.
Great song! Well done sir! Lyrics, vocals, guitar- all spot on. Good job!

Nice one. Good to hear new stuff from you.
"Perhaps I should have done it before Masterclass 1 and 2" Classic.
Shaping up nicely :)
Yep, he showed 'em... Nice one.
I think you got away with it though. Doesn't quite breath like some of yours usually do, but it's still a gorgeous listen.
Gorgeous sounds.
Oh my goodness! I love the sounds you are making.
And here am I trying to figure out how to get a convincing "cello" impersonation out of the various instruments I can actually play!
Oh wow! That sounds fabulous. Gorgeous cello sound.
That's a tough song to listen to. Powerful stuff.
Ah, a fine chord. One of my favourites.
I'm ashamed to say I don't actually know any Mahavishnu Orchestra... but this sounds like you had a lot of fun. Nice one.
Like it.
Oh yeah... :)
Cool grooves. Loving the sounds.
You're a crazy man!! :)
That's really rather effective. Not easy-listening, but moving.
Nice one. like it. I have to admit, I was expecting "that riff" when I pressed play, though lol
Back for another listen to this - very tasty indeed.
Beautiful stuff.
