A long time ago (high school, actually) I went to a dance and witnessed a girl trying to catch the attention of a boy. The memory inspired this song.
Enjoy.

Sometimes Boys/Men are clueless, myself included. Maybe that's why women have been shaping us for centuries.
Good way to put the phenomenon into words ER.

This is from the classic warning tale when greed overcomes reason.

Well you did it again.
Ruined such a good thing.
We had it all in hand.
Might live like a king.
You just could not wait,
Could not follow the plan.
And we…

I just found the perfect tailors for me.
Don't I look good?
Don't I look fine?
They found the perfect fabric for me.
Don't I look good?
Don't I look fine?

This one is loosely based on the Frog and the Princess. What if the Frog was really a man but with a less than perfect face? If beauty is only skin deep, why is ugly to the bone? Can't someone less attractive be beautiful inside?
Enjoy.

I've been listening to a good bunch of yours this evening, most of the King Arthur's Knight set and selections from everywhere else. I was too busy listening to type any comments!
I love how you seem to be able to take anything and everything and turn it into a song. I've kind of learnt something here, not sure what it is yet, but many thanks!
One day I happened along a photo of the painting "Boy Blue" (I think Renoir did it) and the words to this song came into my head. I can't find the lyric page right now, but I'll add it later. This is about a man who has been manipulated by his…
This is a song about losing a friend. It was written after I attended her funeral. I am the type of artist given to bouts of self-examination, and this song is a result of one of those bouts.

What if Sleeping Beauty was visited by a couple of fortune hunters? And what if those fortune hunters got into an argument? Colin Garvey did a super job with this song, and I raise a glass to him. Many thanks to you, my friend.

No credit card have I.
You might not know my name
But look me in the eye.

The Stones didn't sing about me.
Lucifer is not my name.
No…
Here's another one with the honkey tonk style of piano. I wrote this song some time ago using my usual mix of guitars, then decided to see what it might sound like using the piano. The new instrument gave the song an entirely different sound…
The lyrics for this song were inscribed on the headstone when the legendary character Tom Thumb died. Inge did the vocals for this song and did a wonderful job. The harmonies, along with the a capella intro and coda, are hers, and take the song…

Hey Bo.
What do you know?
Maybe I could help you
In your quest.
Maybe I could…
This was written at a time when things weren't going so well for me. This will be my last upload until after the RPM Challenge.

The shirt is frayed at the elbows.

This is our little bundle of joy now grown up to be 10 years old. She took up the flute this year at school and this is her first effort in front of my microphone.
She decided on the flute after watching some vids of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull…
I completely understand your reaction. My youngest has three favorite songs of mine we used to sing together. She's all of 14 and too grown up to admit it, but she still loves the songs. And I still smile thinking about it.
Nice work on the effects. Tell Nina she plays very well for her age. And the more she plays the more she'll enjoy it and the more others will enjoy hearing her play.
Big regards.

I just listened to your demos, and I think they sound fine as they are. The dance music didn't make me head for the fallout shelter, and this song is actually very nice. I don't think you did a bad job on them at all.

2010 RPM Challenge Track. Lyrics below:
Burning down the wire
And you're out of time
Ripping through the ties
that you try to knot
Telling me "go!"
Telling me "go!"
Is what you want
And you're running out
You're feeling used…
I've been listening to your entire album, and I like Telltale, and the first five songs, and this one, most of all. You have an interesting style. I'm not sure about some of your vocal affects, but the songs are good overall.
ER
I've listened to your entire album, and I enjoyed it a great deal. Made me envious that I can't pluck the strings like you can, but that's my cross to bear. Well done.
ER
You and I have a lot in common. Our lyrics are the strongest part of our music and we get the most from our vocal talents. I enjoyed listening to your album and going around the world with your music. Well done.
ER
I wrote it for a friend of a friend. It was originally about a woman, but although I liked the music a lot, the words didn't quite satisfy me. On a whim, I changed a pronoun here and there, and the song became a story.

Little did she know she would miss out on great love songs. :)
Hey Terry, good song. Ah, a lesson to be learnt in there. Ex friend of yours? Nice backing vocals too.
What a great classic groove! w;-)
Clever stuff mate. Reminds me of Julian Cope a little. Are you the sax player as well? Skills!

I like the imagery of the lyrics. You paint an interesting picture. The piano work was first rate, too. The guitar solo was very good as well. ER
Another nice job! Your voice fits well with the accoustic guitar. And the backing vocals add icing to the cake. ER
Nice harmonies! My blues have just been chased away. ER
Singing along with you on this. I feel better already. ER

I have enjoyed listening to your music. It is interesting and relaxing. Several, like this one, have a good beat. ER
I like the story on this. I think the story could apply to a woman as easily as a man. Either way, this is a nice song. ER
And you know it's hopeless only when the horse leaves you alone in the barn. I like your lyrics. They have quite a bit of insight. ER
Very nice song. Well played. ER
Like the storytelling on this one. ER
I liked the vocals and the atmosphere of this song most of all. ER
Your songs have a hypnotic quality to them. The vocals on this reflect that more than most. ER
Enjoyed your songs very much. I just might download a few so I can listen on my mp3 player, if that's okay with you. ER
Another bright and bouncy melody. And I see myself the same way. ER
Like this one, too. Bouncy beat and nice guitar work. Sing that scat!! Found myself singing along. Nice one. ER
