New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
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…
.......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…
This one started as a the title line while driving in my car. All I had was the line and it's melody. I built the song around that about 6 months later. The lyrics are self explanatory.
A folksy number inspired by the stories my nan told me many moons ago about her uncle Herbie..
Herein lies the story, of a man named Herbie Jones.
Not a million miles away from a man you might have known.
A miner in the twenties, blue scars…
Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2
I'm gonna call you dirty from…
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.

Just enjoyed rolling through your 5 "Latest Music" tracks. You have a very nice sound. Remind me of a guy I used to play coffee house gigs with, Rick Walker. Nice work mate. :)
And thanks so much for all of the kind comments on my tracks. Really encouraging to hear fellow musicians say such positive things.
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…
This is a composition from July's '96, and it could be said that it belongs to a period in which i was listening to, and composing, in a kind of 'baroque' style, very influenced by J. S. Bach. I hope you like and/or enjoy it.
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.

A kind of a 'lyric writing' here Igor, not a poem, but more a thought... Btw, ¿do you speak spanish? Good research!
Well Igor... that is a dice with an eye picture on every side, but now that you say, the Apple guys could take a note on this...! ;)

I faved most of them on the album, but this is my favest so far lol
Hey Igor..! This blog's name came from an old poem of mine, which came from a "The Best of The Doors" joke with my friend. ;)
Thanks Igor!
