A cowrite with Michelle
We’ve all done things we’re not proud of
Broken promises and painful regrets
We’ve all said things that would have been better left unsaid
When you’ve gone as far as you can go
There’s no more to see no more…
I’m a long way from home
Open road in front of me
What’s lost when you think you feel free
Feels like something missing
I left it with you
Must be a piece of me
I don’t know what is about this town
It’s dragging me down dragging me down…
Hey, I really like this. The slide work is great. Q: do you find the resonator to be substantially louder compared to a regular acoustic ? Just wondering, as I busk and was thinking I might try and find one at some point (if I ever have enough money). I gotta check out more of your stuff :-)

Well the song tells the story of the morning.... a lovely bleak, cold day. I decided on a simple a cappella arrangement to fit the feeling of the day.
Happy Winter Solstice everyone! To brighter days ahead!!!!
My Old Bones Know Better…
The Quarantine Kiss
Ever since all this shit began
Ive been socially distant
As safe as I can
Aloof and alone
But I’m not lonely
When I stay at home
I’ve got you to hold me
But there’s something missing
Are we being too careful…
@Andrew Russe: very perceptive. Yeah I had to listen twice to appreciate the thoughtful layering of guitars, which I actually didn’t use in my remix because the mix would’ve been too crowded. This has been an almost constant earworm this week but I don’t mind!
Like beavers and willows
Bats and mosquitos
Toad frogs and flies
Like algae and oil spills
Miners and coal hills
Black holes and light

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.
On…
Ukulele and vocals performed by Jazz, 12.
She's starting to write her own stuff (proud!) but just to get her in the studio for the first time, here is a cover of a song by Vance Joy.
YOU GOTTA BE CAREFUL WITH LOVE
You gotta be careful with Love (2)
There'll be days when the sun will shine
The Breeze of Love flow thru your mind
But keep a coat out on the line
'cause you gotta be careful with Love
You gotta be…
Well EVERY album needs a love song!
CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOU
Doctor says my numbers aren't where they're suppose to be
Gotta change my eating habits and work out more than once a week
I know I tend to get addicted to things that make me…
Sometimes we don't resist the brightest flame until it's too late.
ACETYLENE
Baby, you burn - I never learn until I'm on fire
A dangerous game - the hottest flame I've ever seen
I can't look away from your blinding display, drawn by desire…
A piece conceived a few nights ago after discovering a bit more about minimalist composer Harold Budd. I was looking through this vast discography and was intrigued by an album of his called Avalon Sutra and particularly a long piece 'As Long…

WOW! I really like the Vortices. They really blend beautifully. Just close your eyes, sit back and space out. Nice work!

Definetly different, in a good way. Would be nice in a soundtrack. Fun listen :-)
Cool, has that live 'on the street' vibe to it. Boogie on !

I’m thinking of Dolly Parton when I hear this . Lovely!
Thanks Colleen! Just replaced with an improved remastered version!
Excellent. Spacious sound, moody piece.
I was obsessed with this song earlier this year, which led to a visit to Blind Lemon's grave. Good versh!
Tranquil but ominous..
