I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
I could sit and chill with your music all day, it's quite relaxing and thoughtful. Much respect over here, lovin the smooth blues-y, folk-y sounds. Very very much so. And the stories you tell are impeccable, I can feel the emotion. You're very real. Keep it up!
I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…
I'm sorry to say I don't know the original, but your version.... well, wow! It reminds me of "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley.... I don't know why, but perhaps it's in the same vein. I don't know, but anyway, just beautiful, really.
A new original from me. Another one-voice, one-guitar, "live" performance in my broom-cupboard. This time it's the good ole tin guitar.
I wrote this one in 2002 during the "dark years" lol. I've ummed and aahed over the years on whether to…
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.

A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010.
It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...

I tried to send a comment on here giving you my email (iris_selene@sbcglobal.net). If it worked, no need to even read this one, it's just the same stuff. I want to thank you for your feedback and we should chat, talk music, and I should get to listening to more of your stuff too. You're a great musician. Alright, thanks so much, hope we talk soon!
Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.
The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…
Hearing traces of early Bowie! Woot! Love you in this poppier guise, but your voice shines fantastically towards the rock out close! (Also, loving those "ba ba baas"!)
THIS IS THE OLD YEURGH MIX - THERE IS ANOTHER ONE HIGHER UP THE LIST NOW, FULLY LOVED BY AR. THIS ONE IS LEFT HERE AS A MONUMENT TO SOMETHING OR OTHER (AND IN CASE YOU PREFER IT)
Acoustic ghost story. Recorded 2010.
Easter 2010 I decided…

Acoustic tale recorded Christmas 2010.
I wrote it years ago. Even tried rehearsing it with the band I was in at the time. But I couldn't play it properly. It took several weeks of practicing DADGAD (never really used it in anger before) until…
One of my two contributions to a "Beatlesfest" we had over on songcrafters.org a few months back.
I still can't believe I covered this... having done it though, it feels like nothing is sacred. And, more worryingly, I feel I might possibly…
I saw this I was like "Oh hell yes!" And then I listen and it's like.... a harder rockin version..... wow! Very interesting in a really cool way. This song can tug at my heart strings no matter what. The brilliance of the Beatles can be conveyed through any way you wanna play it..... thanks for this one!

Recorded Oct 2010.
It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I'd done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh... but…
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…

Soulful...always playing for the song, a musician's musician. I dig the low organ and how it pops out at the end of the bridge. Another Great performance.

My friend Stasya's doing the vocal parts.

Thought I'd have a go at a soul number. FDR did some lead but the song was left all alone on my comp until today when I landed on it's lyrics while driving home. Thought I'd have a plumb at auditioning for the 3rd Reg, lol.
This is a request from Gene Eric Mann

somebody somewhere is in trouble
somebody is having thoughts…
Geas sent me this great backer over ..... Elvis had been lounging around the cellar for days bored but this one sparked his interest and he thought he'd have a shot at this one....i got Les out to try the solo...cheers Geas

A tune for Halloween.
I wanted to do something creepy. It works.
All Alone
I turn your knob
and throw Spot a bone
I palm your panties
when your not home
I turn the lights off
and cut your phone
I feel your fears
when you all…
Aww, this is mighty fine.
You're tempting me away from the multi-track things I'm stuck on at the moment... mebbe I should try some 1 guitar 1 voice stuff again.
Two walkie talkies
Pull over the cops
Paid our monthly fees
Then the money stops
Tiny makeshift farm
Cabbage, turnip greens
Germans built this barn
Fit for royalty
Tumble in the weeds
Hummingbirds and frogs
Naked bumblebees
Multi-coloured…

I can never think of something "meaningful" to say about stuff I don't quite understand...
This kind of falls into that category

What grabs the most about this is "things are bad, but I ain't dead yet.." Love the blues! I felt this one a lot.
awesome guitar and vocals awesome song.D DOG
Ooo, and the tee shirt by the sounds of it! I'm afraid to say that I have string of dead bodies behind me too! Tell the truth boys!!!
Ha ha! A man of the world then Andrew!! Rock on that man! Bethan
I Can't Believe This Song Hasn't Got more plays. Great Song.
excellent...sorry, that should have been caps...EXCELLENT! another one of those vocal performances that inspires me..

!!! Oh heavens...unbelievably sad. The production and performance are polished and professional but, ouch, my heart.
Like that!
One of my middle names is Elizabeth, so this is automatically cute to me. Don't really have words, I just really like it. Good job!

Love the folky ness. Quite soulful! Lovin the lyrics too. All of it, quite good, yes indeed.
Andrew does it again!
Brilliant...I can here this in a movie if you get my drift? Reminds me of Cat Stevens.
I really like your singing, i feel that you put a lot of yourself into your songs. Very melodic guitar lines too, i like slide arrangements!
Soulful...always playing for the song, a musician's musician. I dig the low organ and how it pops out at the end of the bridge. Another Great performance.
That *SLIDE* adds the perfect touch. Fantastic song!

Like it.
I can't play a 4 minute solo FORWARDS and make it sound coherent, let alone backwards!! You seem to have managed it :)
Do more vocals!
Good, extremely good :)
Oh yes... a masterpiece!
Enjoyed it :)
Cool version
Ha ha! Excellent guys
Oh yes, both rock AND roll.
This kinda crept up on me while I was listening to it in the background. Nice one.
Remix? Sounds even better than 1st listen the other day...
Aww, this is mighty fine. You're tempting me away from the multi-track things I'm stuck on at the moment... mebbe I should try some 1 guitar 1 voice stuff again.
Lovin this EP Superb stuff.

Crumbs, I'm gonna have to listen to more of your stuff. I love how you fling tortured guitars at it and it just works.
Wooo! This works - like it. Some tasty guitar playing.
Yep. This is the business.
Oh my goodness! YES!
Oh yes. Very tasty.
Love it!
