I’d love to talk to you some time about how you get your vocals to sound this good (I mean besides just being a much better singer than me). I’m always jealous of how good it all sounds.
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...

Every year a few of us RPM Challenge aficionados record a Christmas track for fun. It's partially to dust off the cobwebs before February, partially just a chance to do something different. This year I decided to do a version of this number, since…

3rd one for RPM2011. This is an 'oh you'll never get to heaven' type affair inspired by a beer my mate introduced me too. The song is basically about drinking yourself to death and having one up on the healthy brigade having made a rather spectacular…
This song is sort of about making a clean break, killing off the lead character in your story and burying him along with all his sins before the inevitable happens, and the bad guy gets his. Initially came from a jam with my mate Ben Price who…
One of two pretty little interludes for the album, both of which are based around a guitar part Gary did for me. I've put different synth chords behind each of them to cover the two sides of the lady that inspired the full song, Jekyll & Hyde…
Thank you for being you
No one else would do
Thank you for being you
You're all I ask for
Too many nights alone
tonight I'm coming home
open up the wine cos I'm
gonna be with the one who's shown
Me the ways of old
Women into wives…
A dramatisation of events from school.. hope 'Shaun' never hears this, and if he does, that he likes it in someway, and that things turned out alright in the end..
It was always rainin.
It filled him up
It summed it up
So perfectly
How nothing…
Jekyll and Hyde
are both well and alive
and they're living inside of home
Jekyll is kind to me
Smiles all the time to me
Hyde is a wild arrow from a bow
As much as Jekyll makes you smile
If she drinks herself some wine
You'll be the one that…
I love the summer-ish country feel to this song. The instrumentation really gives a kick to this number. The acoustic instruments sound really pristine. Cool number.
This time paying homage to grandpa. Did I miss any dead folks out this album?
I often stop and think of William
Up on Skinners Ridge
He passed me on his way back down
As I passed from being a kid
A shame you’d say
But aint that the way
Things…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
this is a traditional blues tune originally recorded 77 years ago by the legendary robert johnson . since then everyone from the stones to clapton have had a go at it ,i have tried to bring it back to it's starting point IE: a man , an old cheap…
here's a little slice of mid 90s indie rock . i recorded this w/ my awesome...(and saddly defunct!) pub rock combo "sparetire" in 1995 .It's submitted for your approval. hear more sparetire at: www.myspace.com/sparetireband hopefully we'll get…
My opus. By far the longest song I've ever recorded. I tried to make it shorter, but it just didn't work. Sorry. :)
"The Water-Carver" uses a sample from Stereolab's "Changer." (Gane/Sadier)

Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2

Based around a fragment I came up with around 10 years ago in University believe it or not, while I was learning to play guitar. As you can see, I was homesick. :) Thanks so much to Gary for adding a bit of spice with the bass, lead guitar and…
Comments on Gary Fox's stuff
A beautiful song Gary Love the bright guitar enjoyed it a lot KC
Heavy duty rock
Beautiful song Gary!
Never heard this one before. Shame on me. Glad I have now. Great song, love the acoustic guitar. Gonna hit that heart and favorite this for revisits.
Killer!
I’d love to talk to you some time about how you get your vocals to sound this good (I mean besides just being a much better singer than me). I’m always jealous of how good it all sounds.
I love this one, Gary.
I love...
Definitely darker than the typical Gary Fox selection. Crazy production quality. Damn fine top five playlist, Gary.
...And one of these days you're going to make an all acoustic album. Or else.
This is one of the first of your songs I ever heard. Instant fan. Been stalking you ever since.
Love when the band kicks in. How have I not favorited this before?
I can see why you chose this excellent song for the ultimate Gary Fox playlist. Getting more and more jealous by the minute.
Yup. Definitely a top fiver. Such a ridiculously good opening riff... And then the song gets better. And better. And better.
cool, dreamy song fine guitarwork enjoyed! KC
beautiful guitars here wonderful song! KC
great song, Gary very much enjoyed best wishes for 2019 KC
Another fine tune, Gary I really like your stuff KC
Proof there aren't enough prog angels! Tight like a festive drum (as always).
Well done my friend!

This is brilliant.
I really like the turn you took this year Alex. This song has some very cool twists and turns. Really a great listen.
And all of a sudden, I realize there's a theme going on here. Love the brief interlude.
Another great rocker. Sweet.
Two of my favorite musicians in one song. Nice.
This is really inventive and cool song. I had to come back and listen twice, just to get a fix on all of the things going on.
I love the summer-ish country feel to this song. The instrumentation really gives a kick to this number. The acoustic instruments sound really pristine. Cool number.
Kick-arse number, love the guitar. The vocals are primo, great high notes. This would be a great song to hear live in a club.
Great, great song. The slide is perfect. Love the soulful vocal delivery.
I love the lo-fi tone on this. Very cool, and you have a perfect vocal delivery for this.
I like your songwriting style. I like how you use harmonies on this song as punctuation. Very cool.
Great song Chris. I love the solo on the way out. Great tone, very inventive and tasty.
I love this song.
Simply brilliant.
Great tone, love the harmonica in the mid. Really tasty chord change-ups.
Beautiful song...
Great contrast between some of the country-ish elements and the psycheldia effects. Very 1966, and that is intended as a big compliment.
Great song Mr. Pepper Sea. One of my favorites.
Alex Moody, new king of the British Soul Singers...
Great collab here Alex and G Essex. Oooh, cool change up at 1:28.
