Acoustic love song. Written and recorded between Christmas 2010 and the New Year.
I'd just finished recording Elizabeth's Room and was tooling up to record a pop-rock song when this little beast popped out of nowhere, almost perfectly formed…
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Simple yet brilliant, laid-back yet rich and bold. Petite and powerful. You've a rare gift, a special talent. You successfully and gorgeously pulled-off recording a lullaby for adults and lovers!
Well, here we go then...

Yeah you know what it is that I want
Oh you knew, didn't you, before I did?
How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?
Oh never mind...

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…

Found this little chappie while I was preparing my latest original for loading.
It was a quick demo recorded on my Boss Micro BR sometime in October or so last year (2011) while I was working on Shine.

So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…
Well, here we go then...

A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

One of the last songs we recorded before the lockdown
Hans Nooitgedagt Jr - drums
Bingsolex - lead guitar
Erwin B - bass, recording
KC - vocals, guitar, keys & mix
When you told me I was blind
It almost blew my mind
When you told…
Fabulous groove. Nice balance too - everything's really clear... There's a "real musicians playing real music and getting off on it" vibe. Love how it kicks off, promises much, and then the song doesn't disappoint. Nice one.
Toms tune, lyrics, vocals, guitars, bass
Chris drums Johnny Keys
You Were There
You were there
With yellow flowers in your hair
And the summer air seemed to get us high
The county fair
Was lit up like a caution flare
And it was there…
Tom and Chris’s tune, Toms lyrics, vocals, guitars, bass, mando, banjo, harp and some keys
Chris drums - Johnny Keys
Poor Mans Paradise
I was born in a thunderstorm
Rolling down highway one
With the poor mans tax upon my back
Before…
Garys tune, lyrics, vocals, guitars, bass
Chris Drums
Johnny Keys
Why’d You Have To Go
BEEN AROUND FOR MANY YEARS
WASHED AWAY SOME PAINFUL TEARS
MET SOME FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY
SOME STUCK AROUND SOME WENT AWAY
BUT I STILL THINK…
Listening to "Triptones - What Colors You?" while working away in another window... this one jumped out at me as it started... that guitar... brought me over to comment... loving the album so far :) ... you keep playing guys... I'll go back to documenting "Batch Printing - Request" now lol
A few thoughts on this one....
First.. does that... could it... do you think... Reggae? I wasn't planning on that but it just sort of happened. I'm not sure how but... I think... I think I might like it.
In a spur of the moment thing…
Oh yes, nice one. Digging the tempo changes. And some excellent guitar playing. I'm never sure about EC's "woman tone" thing, seems to work best for me on an SG (possibly because of the neck pickup closer to the bridge?) ... but you got some very cool sounds out of it here... I might have to experiment again
This is a song that I wrote some years ago
I wasn't satisfied with the result and completely rerecorded it
KC
I woke up this morning, tried to get out of bed
My head was in a spin. Lord, I felt so bad
My hands were trembling, my knees…

Well the virus has my friend and music partner in Krakow Poland sheltering in place but we are using the time to write and record..here is our latest...we tried to write in the style of Motown...check it out ... all music and production by Art…
Two weeks since we went into lock down
We can't play together now so we all played at home and sent the files to eachother.
Hans Nooitgedagt Jr - drums
Bingsolex - lead guitar
Erwin B - bass
KC - guitar, vocals, keys and mix
Times like…
C.S. Lewis once wrote about the concept of "out of simple evil comes complex good." These are trying times, an understatement if there ever was one. As you read this, you have uncertainties and fears for what our current situation means for right…
This is bathed in reverb... probably too much! It's got a bit of a Southern Rock vibe at 1:00 to 1:45- then it has a big 'glow-stick Prog Rock' ending to it
Well it's been a long while (as seems to be the pattern lately) and I was inspired by Greg and Ron's new songs.... Then I saw a lovely note from the Proods saying "I must have been writing during this crazy time" - so I had to respond with something…
Yep :) like it.
I've just realised, listening to this, YOU'RE one of the main reasons that I've got a wall of guitars behind me with P90s in!!! And I STILL can't make them sound like this!! haha
Collaboration with Freight Drive Reprobates (music) and Darkarma (lyrics).
Don't think it's my best, but it's been hanging around for so long, I needed to get it out so I can move on to the next one :)
Enjoy!
This is a recording from my i phone off my back deck at home in Mill Valley tonight. Everyone howls at 8 pm for 1 minute in solidarity for the healthcare providers during this pandemic with COVID 19. its been going on for over 2 weeks now…
