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…

This is one of three songs inspired by the book THE HEALING OF FAMILIES by Fr. Yosefu - B. Ssemakula.
Only One
The Lord gives, the devil takes
One is love, the other, hate
One will bless, the other, curse
One reigns in…
Many years ago I read the Herman Hesse book Siddhartha. It tells the story of a family man who meets his dream girl and he leaves it all to be with her. She is what he lives for. Then she leaves him and he finishes his life sitting beside the…
Is this a new version? I'm sure I've already commented on this before.
Sounds like it could be a new version. But, what ever, I love it even more than last time. This is SUPERB.
Love the "odd" bass note at the end.
Had a bad back just of late (working to hard) so i put it in a song,and my favorite painkiller is ? you guessed it WHISKY.
PS The backs feeling much better now!
"Tether"
Whatever it was, is wasn't manumission
To spill the blood, to pull the weed
You can bury the past, but it's a mausoleum
With the ghost of a fist that won't let us be
Can we bring it together,
Can we call from the mountain to the valley…
Recorded Live in the cellar with a guitar track added after the initial recording....this is another song i wrote while in Germany ... hope you enjoy..

Mummy's in the kitchen working out her dreams....
Tempted by the torture that she always feels.
Running out of things that she wants to steal.
You're the apple of her eye...
She just wants to feel....
Scared…
ok, dam! this is a long one at 12:18, mostly cause it is 2 songs. took all day to get a decent mix and I am stopping here now. slow and some nice chords and a metal middle.
for naught - is an 8:45 song, about a poor schmuck who just never seems…
I *think* I like this one more(?)
Feels a bit like more of a "guitarists" version? I was much more aware of "hey cool guitar" than one the other one.
I think it's one where you can do unlimited versions, and they're all as good as each as other and you won't be able to decide! LOL
I am currently working on a Concept album with a good friend of mine and great musician/ guitarist Chuck D. Although this track does not feature Chuck , it was developed based on the chord progression he came up with which opens the song up. We…
This is the final track for the Metamorphis album, it is a musical soundscape, inspired by the Yorkshire Dales and the Moors. I have tried to paint a picture of the changing seasons and it should be taken in 1 minute sequences, 1 minute = 1 month…
This is a fine version. I'm with Brett - it sounds like early Genesis covering it. In fact, it makes me want to listen to the first few Genesis albums!
Nice one, gorgeous sound.
2nd song form the Bunker Sessions 2013..
Sunshine
The flower blooms all by its self
With the love from the sun and nothing else but a little rain and life becomes real
We need the sun and here it is
It sits above like gods…
Nice one.
But what's happening in that bunker this year? I mean, I disappear for a few months, and when I get back Reg has cheered up!!! What is the world coming to?
Very cool song.

Great track Andrew, the angst of growing up..... see you on Youtube, I need some friends on there !!!!!!
Love the message, you are a fantastic song writer. Thanks for sharing.

Fan-fucking-tastic. Boggie XXXX
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!

Rockin stuff. I'm with James, it's got that fantastic vibe that The Who used to create. Loving the bass playing, and the guitar sounds are just "IT".
Like it. Don't know the original, but I like this.
Nice backer... nice waffle... = Nice one :)
Nice one. Love the live feel. It's got something of a "Led Zeppelin's acoustic set at Earls Court" vibe.
Superb song :)
Classy. Love the guitars. Fine song.
Oh very tasty.
Beautiful
Nice one. Didn't actually feel like 12 and half minutes. Epic, well worth a listen.

Oh yeah, this is a goodie. Love the sound. And that guitar playing with the old whammy - very tasty.
More tasty wah. Some groovy bass-playing too.
And that wah-break... YES
Wow! That's a big sound. Those guitars sound superb.
Wot, no comments? No Faves? Love it. I get it, and the idea works for me.

Aww, this is a fabulous acoustic slide blues.
