I wrote this song about 2 years ago and shared it here on Alonetone back then. I decided to do a studio recording of it recently. With the help of the team at F5 Soundhouse here in Minneapolis we've created this updated version. I hope you enjoy…

I love the way you tweaked it so Yeats rhymes with peat. ;-)
Love the imagery throughout! Just the brand name Guinness evokes so much on it's own, then "warriors' lament", "cry in our cups", et al.
Thank you for another great listening experience, Colleen. :)

Poor old Reg is all at sea .....
Pray with a tear to the lord
You bang your head on the wall just to release some pain
You feel your senses light up like a match to butane
Feel the warmth of the terror in the release of control
Tell yourself…
The Skybeam engineers were placed in sensory deprivation pods and dosed with specially designed psychotropic drugs to enhance perception and creative abilities, the music injected directly into their cerebral cortex for maximum effect..
Reg has fallen out of love again and written a song to his ex....she always thought she was right on everything and he wasn't so sure she was .....
Your the one who’s got to sleep through the night
You look in this mirror to finally see…
My mother died of alzheimer's four years ago now by the time she died her memories had all but gone and she had no knowledge of who I was but for fleeting moments when she would recognise me and squeeze my hand and I would hug her. This is a song…
Here is another song, one of my favorites, from the album I recently released. Listen to the entire album here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_koW9g8yaWuL4ax97SD_6l-HQwaN1pRi34
I love those unexpected minor notes in the melody. Lovely lovely lovely! Perfect match for the wonderful lyrics. I know a shady spot like that I think!
Reg was sat below the cliff having a sneaky smoke and he couldn't believe what he was witnessing ......I recorded the acoustic with the mic then added bass then a bit of piano and string then the tele then I decided what the subject would be and…

Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…
3rd Song for RPM. Getting this done was filled with late night torture.
You tried so hard
You tried so hard
But you’re not there
You’re not there
You’re not there
You’re not there
You made your way
Oh you made your way
But…
It's now 12:00 am....so Song 2 for RPM is as done as it will be!
In this tune I'm experimenting with vocal layering and using my analogue synth (my guitar and piano are giving me the skunk-eye). Thanks again for anyone listening out there…
