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.
It was about sunrise when I met this guy on the streets of the French Quarter and bought him coffee. I don't know if he's still around -- that was some 20 years ago -- but a two-hour conversation affected my life more than I would have ever known…
This has probably the least effert i've ever put into a song , i was sat at my computer falling asleep , when i had the urge to sing this beautiful George Harrison song , i could'nt be asked to get up and change guitars , so using my PRS Singlecut…
This is a Ralph Mctell song , a very underated British singer / songwriter , probably famous for one song , The Streets of London , but in fact wrote many great songs , he wrote this while working on a building site before he was signed by a record…
This song was written by a guy called Bert Sommer , and perforormed at the Woodstock Festival , he was also in the musical Hair , its said he wrote the song about Jennifer Warnes ( who was also in Hair ), if this song had been included on the…
Awoke tonight to realize that my girl had a broken heart,
And like an image of me, she fell apart.
You laid it all out on the line, another time. A shout out in the dark.
And I should have come but it seemed too far at the time.
In the end it…
A fine end to a fine set of songs :)
Considering the layers of guitars and vocals over all the tracks, and the quality of all of them, I'm stunned you managed to get this done in three weeks.
Excellent stuff, thanks for posting it.
Some may say that given time, every one messes up and thinks of no one else,
Sins their sin, their selfish acts.
But you I would have sworn were different, a faithful heart.
Not without fault, but I never thought you would cut me like that.
Some…
Lack of self respect can blind,
Lead to self destructive tendencies.
But I am old enough to know this game.
I cannot deny the truth to this.
Still I...
I've always recklessly believed that there was more to you than what they said you were.
I…
Woo... huge wide sound at the start, and then the voice sitting in the middle - and superb bvox, by the way.
Builds and then down to nothing... perfect.
Beautiful constructed.
Both of us have made mistakes, I know
I'm not so naive to think this is an empty canvas for me to paint my hopes on
Even so, that doesn't mean there's no potential
Even so, I'll still put myself on the line
Just take it or leave it.
This…
You know how to sequence an album... (for my tastes anyway lol).
As this started, it was the perfect build after the last two. And then the song itself builds up to the energy of the earlier tracks.
With a new day comes new hope for tomorrow,
It may be unfounded but it's all that we've got.
So don't hide your eyes. No one's watching out for us.
We're on our own, and we're all that we've got.
In your shadow I am groping to find purpose.
What…
You'll find me there.
Discover my smile.
I'll be confused, and so will you,
But it won't last for long.
Because you and I were never meant for this place.
Soon you'll see-
We're better with wings.
It's in the air,
Reaching out for a hundred…
Nice change of pace. Lovely groove with a dreamy vocal on top.
Excellent. Liking how the songs fit together as an album as well. With each one I want to keep listening.
Hello stranger.
I've been waiting with a compliment for you,
In case it's something that you don't already know.
Hello stranger.
There is always something left unsaid.
But just ask me and i'll tell you, though I don't even know your name.
We…
The past holds nothing for a man so proud.
Nothing for a man like you.
I feel like I haven't lived before tonight.
That terrifies me.
Would you like to take a walk or something?
She keeps the truth held tight inside, but her eyes show.. something…
Digging this one too. Excellent vocals (I'd personally try to bring them up a bit more against those fabulous guitars).
One of the things that I'm noticing with your stuff is how you manage to cram so much into the arrangements without over-stuffing it. This is really impressive - guitar parts, vocals, drum parts, there's always something interesting happening but it never overpowers the track.
I'll get over this,
There's no need to talk about it.
As soon as you are gone I'll start to make myself forget.
Just go..
There's really nothing left, you don't have to stay here (at all)
I misunderstood your intentions here.
There's still time…
Wow! Big sound. Mighty fine
From your profile I'm getting the impression you're a one man band - if so, this is a stunner - I'm really impressed with the "band" sound you've created.
Excellent arranging/playing of the guitars.
This is a stunner.
I had time for one more song before I logged off, and the title of this grabbed me.
Really glad I listened, I'll be back for more of yours...

Think it’s time to take a holiday
And I’ve found the perfect place to stay
Booked the villa and the Qantas fare…
.......if there not the one,should you keep looking, if so for how long...........well Reg threw Henwrench's music into the cellar and what bounced out was a song he wasn't suspecting....
Love me tender
I've been alone now seems to long…
in memory of 9/11
letter home
walking upstairs
when you wanna run down
it's comin' all undone

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.
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.

Excellent stuff. Huge story crammed into 4 minutes.
Ah... You know I likes this one already, very glad to hear it again. There is something VERY special about this vocal performance.
Lovely track. Simple recording beautifully done.
I don't know the original - at least I don't think I do, it does sounds very familiar - but I do like this version. Lovely vocal, excellent stuff.

I faved most of them on the album, but this is my favest so far lol

Excellent vibe. Loved that sax.
Big smile on my face now :-)
Oh yes... Haven't got anything coherent to say about it, though, just sounds wonderful... Faved :-)
Stunningly good.
You're a complete natural. You make it sound effortless - I'm sure it isn't though :-) Looking forward to hearing more.
Another fine song and performance... More! :-)
