Had this one written before the end of year. Finally hit the record button a couple of weeks ago with some electric rythym guitar tracks and built it from there. I was having a problem getting the song to mix right and had an idea to try a different…

Baby can you here the thunder tonite?
Baby can you here the rain coming down, down?
Lately Ive been dreaming of you lying next to me and I realise your gone

I'm playing catch up here... How did I miss this??!!
This is mighty fine. Faved from the opening guitars - and the rest of the track lived right up to it.
Gorgeous sounds.

Okay Andrew R. , this ones for you bud. Had a little fun with it in the intro. That was the surprise.
I put the bass line down and arranged the drums Saturday morning and returned later that night about 10:00 pm . I worked until 2 am and laid…
THE OPENER OF DOORS
THAT SLOWLY EVENLY OPENING LORD
THAT MANY WILL GET SUCKED IN
THAT MANY WILL GET SHUT OUT
FROM GLOWING TO CHANTING OF WORDS
FROM JOUSTING AND THROWING OF SWORDS
DAYLIGHT INTO DARK A CARRIAGE MADE FROM A GOURD
IN THE FEW FLEETING…
For Elly Barnes
Thanks for the moment to think......
-My part of peace-
To think for a moment
Is the greatest of gift to me.
To think without fear
Better still....
My part of peace
Detracts in the least
From the good…
Hard rock song about losing faith....
Lyrics:
I'M GOING DOWN
Sedate it with barbiturates
Inject it with a needle
Calm this stirring anger
That I always feel
Lord, where are you
You've mocked my every prayer
Everything around…
This acoustic song is a drunk nihilistic escapade with a surprise ending; so if you like to howl, join along and do your best "ahhoooo.."
Lyrics:
At full moon, I was drunk as a skunk
My belly full of bourbon, and my breath really stunk…
BLEEDING ON THE GROUND
ALL THE FEELINGS SOUND
ALL THE NOISE IS DOWN
EVERY WOUNDED JUNKIES CLOWN
SWIMMING IN A MOUND
OF PILLS AND POWDER
ALL THE PAIN IS LOUDER
ALL THE TIME IS MORE
BLEEDING ON THE GROUND
ALL THE FEELINGS SOUND

(JV-30, ca 1997) A simple rustic air with a sitar duet jammed into the bridge. That tells a profound and hearfelt story about city planning. Or not.
Once upon a time there was a boy with tunnel vision hidden far beyond the castle walls of a lifelong prison. Captive to a secret that kept him there under lock and key. Imagine was his sanity.
Thirteen days before thirteen he broke a sacred vow…
Jip1965 came round to kick my ass into gear and played a bit of rhythm i did the rest and then sent it off to the good Lady Jane to do her stuff and very nice stuff indeed! Cheers Me Lady!!! x

Ahhh that's super slick.
Great track and recording, particularly the sightly background guitar licks and stuff...sounds superb!
Such a great song, James.
I was listening to the original the other day... Love this version. VERY cool vocal.
Aww crumbs... Those guitars sound utterly fabulous. Tasty organ going with it too. Love it.
Have you remixed since the "vocals are low" comments? Because I'm getting plenty :)
I'm playing catch up here... How did I miss this??!! This is mighty fine. Faved from the opening guitars - and the rest of the track lived right up to it. Gorgeous sounds.
cool tune!
Fantastic playing, outstanding composition! That's great you saw Vai on the G3 tour, bet that was amazing.
Really good . Vai and Beck leave the planet sometimes, wild guitar toys.
I like the lyrics.
Very Vai like, fun!
Wonderful playing, sleek voice
yeah!!!
you weren't kidding when you said massive amount of fuzz. LOL. It turned out to be very Hendrix-y. Foxy Lady style, yeah. Sounds very good.
Yes, I like how you did this.
Very Nice Lead,, Base ? Missing Rhytham

Nice Beat,, Would like a litlle l base.
Man, what an amazingly good version!

Haa...man I never heard a uke in this genre. Great move. It is pretty damn coconuts...lol! Great playing. The double time section ....damn cool.
Really diggin this. Love when the harp comes in, unexpected but sits in there perfect.
Trippy...almost Doors like.
Im in! Cool guitar style! I Like the fragmented chord tones and harmonics. You are a killer player. Thanks for posting.
As soon as it started I was captured. Taking me back to early Genesis or ELP....but all your own. Brilliant!
Dude , vocals are IT! Meaty guitar tone, growly vocals fit the story and vibe! Almost a Neil Young like solo in there...very cool! Superb.
Ahoooo.....im there man! Nice track. You have a knack for crafting some killer tunes. We can all join in...ahooooo!
What velvet underground would have sounded like with some distortion pedals. Heavy dissonant shiznit right there!
Nice movement and composition.
Hell yeah....right from go! Nice solid track guys. Almost like a bluesy version of Asia. This is great. Nice boards, vocals and solid rythym section
Dark movie score...intense.
Get out! This is incredible! jackpot! Great song and vocals...my my! Like the retro synths. Sweet!
A high level of melody and harmony coming from you once again.
This is right up the music score for a tv show or cartoon etc...I dig it.
Beautiful...that is exquisite playing...
Kind of reminds me of Cat Stevens. Nice songwriting and vocal
Really nice take on a blues with some outside playin. Great sense of harmony in your work here. Very good vocal to boot. Enjoyed whole thing.
Hey....nice job on this. Harmonies sound excellent.
Yes...it does have that Rocky Horror vibe.
Nice songwriting and performance.
