This is a very professional, great job! Excellent performance, really! I dig everything -- vocals, lyrics, music -- all of it! Very impressive! Rock on!
This one has a good groove, but I admit you won't dance as much to this one. Grab a drink and just listen and tap your feet. Turning yourself around with conviction drives through every beat...
When I read the album blurb, I was wondering what the effect would be from the Rock/Acoustic split.
It's fab! Brilliant transition, and now i'm in another place but still emotionally in the same album.
The album was so good I ended up listening to some of the songs twice. Quality work once again, my friend. It's a shame we only hear from you once a year.

The inspiration for this year's album. I wanted to make a track that would make both Neil Degrasse Tyson and Pete Seeger happy...
...I hope you ruminate on the size of the universe - and just what that means - while hearing the girls play.
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
Late RPM upload to AT. I'm just not happy with it yet.
I think the vox suck.
I'll probably take another shot at it sooner or later.

Lyrics
We got three sons and
three daughters too
we grow our hair long and
drink Mountain…
This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.
Greg…
This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…
Ambient, building electric guitar instrumental, something like a cross between the late great Gary Moore and some softer stuff by Allan Holdsworth.
Imagine your spacecraft nearing a black hole, and the strain it puts on your vessel. Then, as…
Morning Glow
End of the line
Ahead of me just loneliness
Scanning the horizon - only emptiness
Losing heart for a while
As the twilight’s rolling in
Getting caught between the darkness and despair
Used to never fail
Used to find a…
TIME TO HEAL
The gates of freedom close at hand
Time to rise and take a stand
Sometimes you have to let it go
Leave behind all that you know
To draw a line up in the sand
Some secrets stay inside
Finding a way to hide
So many moments…
NEEDLE'S EYE
the river of time is flowing bright
out into the void of empty night
we gaze at the ripples almost scared of what we’ll find
in search of the past we penetrate
the dream of an everlasting fate
we’re destined to find that…
STRING THEORY
A little playful and teasing sigh
A little twinkle in your eye
You’re a Devil, temptress, I am helpless
In front of you
On and off again
I’m your little plaything
Up and down I go
Puppet on a string
You let me go and…
TWICE IN A MILLION
Counted the flowers in my back yard
Dreamt of the games that I won and I lost
Sorted my ties in the closet
Had those old Father’s Day cards arranged
Love is an heirloom of a long time past
Almost not tempting…
A trip back to the 80's, living out our Duran Duran dreams.
Tim played the roles of Simon, Nik, and Andy.
Grant was Roger.
Matt Parker was John.
Tess and Meg were Pepsi and Shirlie.
And Gary Fox played the role of Andy Hamilton.

I like the space between the notes and the vox. Great, open feeling, captures the mood of the lyrics perfectly!
This sounds like I am driving through the Irish countryside. Lovely!
