The dark groove I'm diggin'! The vocals rule! Fantastic lyrics, fitting righteously with the music. You know how to set, execute and deliver a mood! The guitar work is fabulous, and you handle on the Psychedelic is on par with the masters of the genre!
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!

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…

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…

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.

This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…

Apologies to George but I love the song. Its shocking to find out that Paul and John rejected it until George dragged Eric to the studio one day. Imagine the White Album without this...
no effects of any type on this for good or ill.
The verse and the chorus are pretty much the same thing except the chorus is louder and heavier. I consider that a gimmick and a bit of a cheat, but I very often really like the way it works out. Shoot me.
The lyrics are about being afraid…
Well I seem to have a few songs with dreams and oceans in them. But then I do live on the ocean.... and I do dream ... daydream. I bought a cheap yamaha acoustic guitar from a garage sale for $50 and decided to try recording a song with it. I…
I thought going into 50/90 that I would need to do some quick recordings of really simple arrangements. Maybe just acoustic guitar and voice. Nope, not really.
This isn't meant as filler. This idea is something I noodle on almost every…
You can probably interpret this song in a few ways, but the inspiration was based on a move across the country to start a new life. I find there's an interesting tension between settling into your new home and getting use to a new environment…
The verse is a 12-bar blues phrase, but the rest of the song isn't. Clever? Probably not. The lyrics are kind of about work stress, but maybe not completely. I can't really tell anymore. The guitars are all Stratocaster.
Mixed up confused…
Something tells me I'll be mixing this one again soon.
The lyrics here are specifically about 9/11, but I guess it would apply to any major event. I was just listening to the accounts of people who were there at the time and comparing their…

Love the lyrics.
The opening vox kill me. Powerful!

Faved from the go mate, excellent vocals and killer music.
Oh yeah, I like this song.
thank you, thank you, thank you .... there is hope for music again.
Beautifully laid back.
Great cover, excellent production, top performance.
yes that's the groove. Awesome vocals, I mean awesome!!
Whatta tune. Goes down so easy and gets me smilin'.
Got to add this one to my collection. Best of luck. Howard R Music
Love the wha wha guitars panned around at the intro. Guitar heaven on this one.
This rocks like a mother! Nice one
Lovely... simply Lovely. Old school golden, brother.
I Stopped back for another listen. I'm impressed how you can belt this song out!
Wonderful song, really really wonderful.
This one is incredible...had to listen again.
Just dig this so damn much.
Love it mate

And this one too, like it :)
That works in a strangely hypnotic kind of way. Nice one.
Cool version! Liking the vocals.
One of my favourite songs too. Nice version.
Oh good grief. Fabulous sound and playing. I'm getting used to this 1 minute business as well (just!)
Well that works! :)
Fabulous. Still loving that telecaster.
Free beer? I'm in :-) Wow... this rocks!
Flip, that works... I wouldn't have thought putting drums on afterwards (with no click) would be the easiest option.
Aww, gorgeous sounds. And, actually, I can't hear that it's a cheap guitar. Sounds fabulous.
Love it. How did you get the bass sound? Please don't tell me you actually have an acoustic double-bass... (not allowed one here!!)
Wow - wot a sound... I was knackered by the end! Loved the burp
Very tasty. I always start in an acoustic mood, and then something just comes over me and I get all Roy Thomas-Baker about it...
Like the organic feel... a lot.
Trippy - like it :) You got drums!!! *jealous* I'm not allowed them - no space in Mrs R's office/writing-room, apparently...
And another nice one... you're a LOT more productive than I am!! At least I've got some time for doing some listening now...
Nice one :-)
Wa-ay too short though!!
Go Jimi! :-)
Oh yes, nice one.
