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.
It was a sort of "blow the cobwebs out…

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…

@guest
:) don't let that inner puppy get sunburned.
Some of what you've been doing yourself recently went into the ability to create this one. And I nearly even posted the songwriting demo!!! :0

Refreshing new sound. It's nice to hear an acoustic guitar, and the harmonies are really nice.
And the message . . . well . . . you old softy! Well done.
You know how you're listening to the track above, and then the next one starts, but you've already heard it just now, so you reach for pause...
Didn't click it this time lol
This is fab.
A song about my dad. Written a few years ago but I wanted my family to do the harmonies. Finally I got the last two laid down week. There are 10 harmonies featuring sisters, sons, daughters, nieces and nephews and I thank them all for their amazing…
Well, that was 19 second Fave :-)
(It was nearly 2 seconds, but I thought I'd better wait for the vocal lol)
And then when the backing vocals came in I wished had an "Even Better Than That" button to press...
Fabulous. Love how the melody skips.
This started up as someone else's favourite... knees immediately turned to jelly... once I'd recovered my composure, I thought "hang on a minute, I only know of one voice that... oh, I see" lol
New recording after being forced to take a few weeks off due to personal health issues. It's a little all-over-the-place (hence the name) but I'm excited to share it with you fine folks all the same.
Special props to my buddy Karl Ridgeway…
2nd song for the RPM challenge in 2012. As always, feedback is appreciated!
Lyrics:
Hold on little girl. Don't lose hope.
Even though things seem so damn broken now,
I want you to know that it gets so much better.
My thoughts flow out, like…
Words and music by me.
Lyrics:
Love is trying to find a way around,
Somebody else who's laying down,
Right in the way of where I want to go.
These words have many meanings.
I'm not just walking blindly any more.
And if you'd lend…
This weekend I was thinking about artists that I used to enjoy listening to in highschool. Toad the Wet Sprocket came to mind, and I thought it would be fun to cover one of their songs. I've always liked "Pray Your Gods" - even though the chorus…
None of us knows where we'll be tomorrow,
Let alone 2 weeks from this date.
Will I still be in this place?
"It's okay", she says, "I'll definitely call you later."
If I don't go and forget to,
And if I'm still living here.
Can we say we see a…
Excellent stuff - big smile on my face.
And anyone who can master a tambourine is ok in my book (wretched instrument of the devil that it is lol)(guess who, still, after too many years, can't get a tambourine to do sensible stuff?)
This is the first Irish song I started working on. When I was trying to learn to play the penny whistle I needed a song to practice with, and this is what I ended up going with. I was playing it so often that I figured I might as well record…
A bit of comic relief is good when you have some writers block. I had he song mapped out years before I recorded it. I need to record its companion "Won't you please squeeze my udder Farmer Joe?".
Did this many years ago. It came together very quickly. There are know synths, all guitars and backwards vocals, sped up vocals, detuned vocals.....whacked sounds. I wrote the lyrics on the spot. I love its deep personal message...lol!

That is killer....love that gnarly bass line.
Always a pleasure listening to your music. Great arrangement on the background vocals. I like , I like , I like this song...he he
I think this is a masterpiece! You have captured the essence. My wife brings order to my chaos too, 36 years now.
Well played. After reading your notes I've decided to be nicer to you. Just kidding.

Like this one. Kinda tricky lyric though - I can see why you haven't sung it lol
Nice one. I don't think I knew this song - looked it up and now I have the lyrics... Fine version.
That's beautiful :-)
Oh yes, love this.
Wonderful. The song's lovely, there are some very interesting chords going on behind it, and those harmonies on the top are just fabulous.

Wooo... Doesn't sound all over the place to me. Another fave.
You rock, it's melodic, it's inventive, superb vocals - such timing. Excellent production. Everything I love.
Oh good grief... another one. Superb everything. How have I missed all this? Why so few people listening to you? Very glad I found your stuff.
I keep trying to comment this one - not sure if I'm getting confused, or wot... Love it, fantastic. At least I've managed to fave it
This is wondrous. Song, performance, vocal, recording, everything. Nothing's ever perfect, but this comes pretty damn close for me. Lovely.
Excellent stuff - big smile on my face. And anyone who can master a tambourine is ok in my book (wretched instrument of the devil that it is lol)(guess who, still, after too many years, can't get a tambourine to do sensible stuff?)
Nice one guys.
Superb. More!!!
Awww... one of my FAVOURITE songs. Had to come in and listen... and wow, got some of my favourite instrumentation as well... Love it to pieces
Like this very much.
lol Been trying to make some sort of reasoned critique/comment, but I'm laughing too much
Now this one grabbed me immediately. Really well put together.
