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.

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
Can i get a little whisky in this water said John
The day the world stopped being fair
I didnt know what to say so I said yeah.
I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand
And said friend, only true friends understand
He said friend…
Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…
Hey Alex...this track made me turn green with envy. Your voice is f***ing awesome. The trade-off of the gtr and the keys is perfect, well balanced. Laid back back-beat groove. Yeah, just checked the mirror, I am pure green.
Cheers,
Gary
Jay, you should try to get movie soundtrack work. This song would be great for some of the darker horror movies. You really have an original flair, and this screams "Welcome to my altered state, dark, dark world." Brilliant. DO something with this music, it needs to be out there.
This track was born out of an annual project or "artbomb" at New Year's, where a bunch of artists get together, pick a word or "theme" and all upload our musical interpretations of said word or theme. This was from a couple of years ago when the…
I love the dark, moody tone of this one. There is a certain cacophony happening here, but in a sort of creative destruction way. It has that non sequiter feeling of a real dream. That's challenging to do, and I think you pulled it off.
John Lennon started it with God pt.I, U2 followed with God pt.II, and I was presumptuous enough to think I could do God pt.III. A wee nod here and there to the first two tracks with my own twist.

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!!

Ok, I just got a little greener. I love big soaring songs like this. So open, so wide. Great song Alex, great song.
Another great song...it sounds like Blind Faith wants to be you. I love the tone of this song. The gtr riffs are pure ear candy. Very tasty.

Love the gtrs, dark, vibrato tones. Cool Tom Waits vibe here with the vox. This is cool Jay, very cool.
