So, I did multiple demos of this in my bathroom (for the echo) in the days before recording it. It is fun to play on acoustic. I record the real thing and it just screamed string quartet (or the Fox version of said quartet) I had never done strings…
Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…

I am Ironman.
With this one, I purposely kept it stripped down. I could have lavished it up, but I wanted the tone to match the stark clarity of realization. Sometimes this one sounds thin to me, but stark clarity sometimes has the same: "That…
A chance gtr line turns into a big production. This is a song I wrote for myself, meaning it's probably too long, it probably has too many parts and it probably has too much going on in it. YET, I don't care. I wrote it for me. Oh, and I am very…
Bouncy, with ear candy. Wanted to do something different with this one, keep it from being too predictable. I think I succeeded. I also happen to really like my "squawk, squawk" gtr stabs in the verses.
Eerie, mournful, beautiful, but so, so lonely.
These are the words of a friend listening to it. When you make a conscious choice as to who you should be, what you were meant to be, what you have failed to be, until now...
This one is meant…
Stripped down, I almost did this one as a live, one take vox and gtr "on-mike" bit. I did the song, kind of liked, but decided to do a tracked version, just to see what it would sound like. Ended up liking it more.
This is a track of serendipity (is that how you spell that?) I was hours from deadline, lots of mixing left to do, and this track was FAR from done. I love the congas in this one. In general, this is a fun one for me. For once I actually don't…

This is a fun track Gary, I really dig it. Lot's space for the guitars and vox to breathe here, it serves the song well. Didn't see that breakdown coming, cool surprise!
Yay!! with Feb over and life almost back to normal, I get to check out a whole new Gary Fox album!! Great track to kick it off with! Wonderful cover art btw Gary.

Lyrics
T.Mokbul 2010
-In A Day-
Half a Glass of Gasoline
Mixed with Some Kerosene
Stirred in with Coffee
Laced with amphetamine
All That it Takes in A Day
To get by…
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…
all the pounding waves
drowning out the sound
the sound is poison
diving down below
sinking very slow
drown away the sound
if I, can't make it
stop your soliloquy
I feel the death inside me
in this succession
the still and quiet
I will succumb…
I found this while doing some clearing out. Its the only demo me and a friend Ben Price recorded when we were briefly looking to form a band in about 2005/2006. Listening back to it, strained vocals aside I kinda liked it so thought I should give…
Comments on Gary Fox's stuff
Cool - WAY to COOL!
Great writing! The string quartet really works well!!
Great tune - I like the kinda psychedelic tinge that it has. Rocks hard!!

Slightly tainted in darkness with some luscious tones once again, great stuff.
Fantastic piece from the Fox! I really liked the writing in this one. I there had to be some socks mentioned somewhere on this album!...lol
a fitting title track, grrreat sounds in this one! Really beautiful guitar work in that lead line, awesome tone Gary!!
This is a fun track Gary, I really dig it. Lot's space for the guitars and vox to breathe here, it serves the song well. Didn't see that breakdown coming, cool surprise!

Cool song brother. I like the simplicity of the guitar mixed with the dark lyrics.
The slide gtr parts have this great earthy tone to them. This song has a great feel. I love the suspensions and country blues overtones.
And yet again, more brilliant finger style playing. Beautiful work, Kavin.
Such great finger-picking... I love the song and all of the changes. Great one Kavin, simply great.
Love the Univibe effect here...
Tasty, very tasty.
I like the raw energy you put into your songs Rob. I would come see you live in heartbeat. Cheers, Gary
This has kind of a cool Revolver goes country feel to it. Nice work Rob. Cheers, Gary...
Kirk, Your versatility and skill with different styles, instruments and moods never ceases to amaze me. Cheers, Gary
Great song Mr. Moody. Excellent vox on this one.
Alex, I need to listen to you a lot more.
Cool piece, love the textures. The classical gtr interplay with the synth, the pads...all of it. Cheers! Gary
Большие песни. Cheers, Gary
This is an excellent piece. I love the melody and the tone of the piano.
I like the interplay between the clarinets and violins (violas?) And kirk is right, the cello is beautiful.
This one has a cool vibe and tone to it. Excellent work. I like the solo parts, they feel like you could float on them.
This is a very cool tune. Great falsettos... Wow, what a great voice. Organ is killer...
Bethan's right. Great track.
Great vibe here Skidoo! It's rainy here and around 1am. I have the windows wide open and this is up loud.
I like where this is going Alex
