One of the first songs I wrote for "Burning Wood (the Bonfire Sessions)", and one of the last to be completed, Sam lends her incredible vocal talents to this sunny-day driving song.
LIFE IS GOOD
Windows down, my baby by my side
Life is…
The contrast of this aging "summer boy" and his outdoors-loving daughter who is more than happy to run out into the cold.
Late December
Late December
The nights get so long
Turning embers
In the dark before dawn
Late December

Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, the opening melodies to this song found their way into my head... A song of hiking, love, and life... Won't you come with me on the trail?

Sometimes you need to stay up late to try to force yourself to dream.
When I wrote this song (and started singing it a bit), I knew that my voice could never give it what it needed... So I turned it over to one Sister Savage... And she did…
DREAMS OF THE OCEAN
Your kids'll be waking up in the morning
Just a couple of hours after mine have gone to bed
I've got the coffee warming
While dreams of the ocean are in your daughters' heads
I taught them all 'bout it late last evening…
Well, screw the metronome, damn the torpedoes, and grab a capo!
Sometimes the best versions are the ones played fast and loose. Hope you enjoy this song adapted from one of my all-time favorite poems (I'm a bit biased since my dad wrote it…

Very nice work!! Tess- if that's a demo vocal it sound pretty damn good to me. Keith- really nice arrangement on the song, nice strum pattern and some nice soft chords. Also dig the little backup vocals.

Great songwriting, just a terrific use of a phrase that baseball-fan newspaper-reading kids like me used to see. As one sportscaster once said... "He's listed as day-to-day... Well, aren't we all?"
Hey Colin,
I'll be doing a ridiculous amount of downloading once I remove all the useless commercial musical crap from my iTunes. This track is outstanding. Man, what is in the water in Liverpool to create such great musicians, and can we please start bottling it and drinking it over here.

This, or at least the second part of it, was originally going to form part of a comedy opera I would never have finished in a million years. Couldn't resist putting it on here.

A little something I recorded on a Zoom H4n, acoustic was recorded from built in condensors, strat was recorded plugged into bottom jack using only onboard effects, mixed in Reaper and mastered in Soundforge.
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

Inspired by a series of springs in the Hill Country, that are said to be so full of life that you can even see the ghosts. Or if you know the right time, the hummingbirds. A recent composition using samples and FS1R.
Haitian rhythm bed with kalimba and Ney and synthflute. Rejected for its original purpose as being 'too jazzy' ;)

Had the chorus idea floating in my head for a number of years, but never had the inspiration to do anything with it. Then a friend died and this song came out of me staring out the window in the cold of January 2005 wondering what the hell to…

Great little ditty! I may need to learn to play this one.

Ooooh... Really nice.
