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.
No more covid songs....
Time to write about other things
This one's for my muse
I had uploaded an earlier version, but didn't like the mix
here's another version

-----------------------------------------
So many years we've been…
This is sort of two songs stuck together. That wasn't the plan, it just sort of happened. The only thing interesting about the noisier first half is the fuzz pedal on the rhythm guitar. Big Muffs really are harder to fit into a mix. I do love…
Loving the rhythm/groove in the choruses. Oh wow... yeah, that works... you're right moving the "middle" to the end instead. If it had gone back to the rocking I think it would have felt "So? And?" But like this it's "yeah, man, cool ending... dig those echoes... let's listen again"
April rain storms are exciting but I am warm and cozy in side.
wrote this after hearing that some people suggest a dream before settling in for the nite. My J 45 really wrote this tune I just sang along
Here is another ZOOM Collaboration with:
Steve Krell
Colleen Dillon
Roger Harris
Greg Connor
We posted the lyrics and featured the chords, just in case you wanted to write your own lyrics and post them with this idea.
Empty Bottles…
This song is a work in progress. I attended an online songwriting workshop hosted by Chad Shank (Minnesota Songwriters Association) who was talking about songs with varying length lines to create more of a conversational atmosphere and the use…
Wow - when it started I was thinking "that's intense!" ... but then some work emails arrived and it made an EXCELLENT soundtrack to telling them how they'd f***ed up! lol
Looking down the road as how sweet it will be after the bug” virus”
Is gone
Open the doors and windows , drive fast with the top down
We gonna drink some wine with friends o mine, pas the bottle around
Go to a block party…
I started to listen to this the t'other day but ran out of Time... (see wot I did there? hehe) (Mrs R dragged me away to do something important). Glad I came back - nice one.
Man, you're on a roll... Loved it. Steak and Texas Blues... I'm there. And I thought Kansas was just where Rainbow came from... or was was it Dorothy... or... or...
A strat and a slow minor blues are a go to for an overheard cell phone call.
The tone is pure strat wiggly bar juju. Thanks Robert Cray
Blues lyrics are not required to be politically correct
A straight-ahead rock song with a quirky arrangement change on the second verse. Includes a trippy Pink Floyd-esque middle 8 and a Boyzone rousing key change at the end... You're welcome! 😆
Your stuff is making me re-evaluate 70-80s keyboard sounds. At the time I loathed what I regarded as "keyboard heavy" bands. I liked piano and organ, and I was a huge fan of Queen and their earlier "no synthesizers" approach. You're making some cool sounds, though, pleasantly reminding me of stuff that must have seeped into my subconscious like it or not! :)
Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...
It Won’t Be Like This Forever
Sitting here on my front steps
Listening…
Oh yeah. Nice one. Love the title (although there is one bit I want to keep - I've kinda got used to working at home and REALLY don't want to go back to commuting!)
A song I made up in retro style, just for a bit of fun ;- ) I used various guitars. It's partly sung in English and some of it in French. I try to do my own mixing, so don't expect too much LOL... Regardless, I hope you enjoy it ! Kind regards…
A new song
The worst man possible for the job right now

You divide and conquer
While there is fear and hunger
You play a dangerous game
But you won't take any blame
Your're a cheat and…
Prior to recording these Vocals/Lyrics my Microphone died on so i had to use my phone voice-recorder with not knowing how the sound would be. Anyway i had a blast making this Song.

Broken Dreams on repeat It’s a tie for the Grip…

Oh yeah - I know exactly what you're talking about... I can say all that about someone here

What a cool song. So good it needed a second listen immediately.
Oh this is just fab. Love the vibe/groove. And those shared verses, all these voices I listen to... all in one song! Love it.
Awww... this is fabulous. What a cool piece of songwriting. Love it.
Wow - when it started I was thinking "that's intense!" ... but then some work emails arrived and it made an EXCELLENT soundtrack to telling them how they'd f***ed up! lol
I just took delivery of a bunch of steaks/chops/wine ... I'm READY! (I have a feeling that this batch won't last until then, though! lol)
Yep this rocks.

Enjoyed it a lot.
Nice one.
Oh yes, that works for me.
Cool sounds.
Weird... and strangely compelling.
