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.

It's about a few folks, some known, some known to me. I liked the chunkiness of the chord that starts it, but wanted to do something a little more 'spacey' than a pure rock number. It's all true too.
A brief glimpse, but that's all. Inspired by last April. It's for everyone, but no one in particular. Yes, this one gives more than a passing nod to Ham and Evans. Thanks gents!

As good an album closer as you will ever hear. Great big picture stuff here, Gary... Thanks for sharing the uncertainty through this perfectly crafted song.

...And that guitar solo starting at 2:08 is about as ass-kicking as you will ever hear. If it doesn't put you in a good mood, find a bridge and jump off, for there truly is no hope for you any longer.

Top Of The Pops circa 1972! Remember when all those bands in the early 70's where adding synth to every song but the lyrics meant something (sometimes)? Pure excitement, pure bubblegum, pure fun. Well, this is my offering and thanks to all of…
There's a historical marker near the side of the road on McCrea Hill just down the road. Jane gets a passing credit as the last line of the plaque reads "Sister Jane was martyred."
Neat little piece of American history you might want to delve…
I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…
Here is my entry for the "Who Knew" Song Writing Challenge. Thanks for including me :)
Lyrics:
When I was a young boy
I never knew what it meant
to be unloved
When I was a young man
I never knew what it meant
to be undone
Now I’m…
Here is my contribution to the latest song writing challenge posted in the Alonetone Forum.
_______________________________________________
Who Knew when I first met you
That all your troubles would be mine
And you’d be coming around again…
Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

**Nobody Loves You - A A J Russe**
Nobody loves you
Like you…
I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:
"The silver swan who living hath no note, when death approached…
This is the first thing I recorded using the telecaster you can see in my profile pic. It's a one-take jam played over one of those guitar magazine backing tracks. Thanks for the listen :-)
My humble tribute to Freddie King... Without him we wouldn't have Eric & without Eric, I would probably have never picked up a guitar.
This is sort of a pastiche of Hide Away & The Stumble & tracks like that :-)
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…
A remix in lieu of a cover for the Angie Fights Crime Covers Album. I can't sing in my house at the moment since it either wakes up the 5 month old, or pisses off the 3 year old. So I thought I'd try something different.
The original, is very…
Our cover of the Angie Fights Crime song "Fall Down Trying".
Featuring Bob Sorace on guitar and backing vocals and Leslie Sorace on backing vocals.
It's all a matter of he said/she said
