Some girls have had it far too rough for their very few years.
How old were you when you'd seen enough
How old were you when your hide got tough
Your wounds have scarred
Sometimes they still sting
Close your eyes and hear her sing
Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…
"The pictures that she paints while you're keeping time might just make you think again if you don't believe in the divine." Simply, it's a delicate little song appreciating the talents behind a beautifully written and performed song with the…
Inspired by Tess' little Morwenna and my (getting bigger) Jessica. Writing back and forth with Bethan, I came to realize that a song needed to be written about the significance of the statements that so often come from the mouths of babes…
I'm hangin in there. Just the old job...crazy as always. I think I need to change things up so I will have more free time. ;) Good song. Nice clear vocals.

After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.

Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…

Another oldie but goodie (again, apologies for the few seconds of silence it takes to get to the intro). This song is the first that I really tried to record properly, written around Christmastime four or five years ago with my seventh grade…
The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for…
What does a songwriter do when he's addicted to Doctor Who (and his new very cute companion)? He writes...

Red hair and that pretty face beneath it
My how you've grown up after oh so many years

Another old song that got a little country twang when it became obvious that the horn section wouldn't be showing up on my doorstep any time soon.
"You fools don't know what's going on inside her head"

I was walking down an empty street late one night and thinking of different things while the fire of a song was burning in my head. then took the situation and looked at the parrellels in my life and from that came this song.
hope you like it! :)
For our beautiful son Willem, in French Guillaume.
recorded in my livingroom, 16-7-2009.
I called the song Guillaume before because of the beautiful sound.
Since 2012 I changed the title of the song into : Willem.
Because that makes much…
When I wrote this it was a cold cloudy and dark winter night here in vancouver but I was sitting in my room and was just in a sunny state of mind. I then picked up my Uke and started fiddlin around searching for a breezy chord progression, then…

I originally intended to arrange this song more fully, but the thought of the Doctor singing to Amy with nothing but an acoustic guitar somehow worked for me.

This is a song that started as just an idea I had playing live one lovely thursday evening and I just started playing this progression and sang some gibberish over it and I came up with the "chorus" part and and the Idea of asking questions in…
This is just terrific! Now that my little ones are 5, 7, and 10, I can look back and laugh at the repetitive questioning... I almost miss it... Almost.
Such a great acoustic guitar-centered album. And this may be my favorite Calculus Affair song... Check that... This is definitely my favorite Calculus Affair song.

Thanks for listening, Inge!... I appreciate your kind words as well... And I'm always willing to be dragged into the happiness!
Great stuff, Brian!
Really, this is a great song. I can't wait to hear more songs from you.
Beautiful.
Wow, what beautiful guitarwork!... Counterpointed by such powerful and direct lyrics. Wow.
Great song... I find my best songs are the ones I've written about my kids, but I must say that this one of yours tops them all.
Just dropping by to listen to this terrific song.
Wow.
Very smooth.
Ugh... Now that I hear this a few days later, I realize how badly I need to re-record the vocals.

And here it is just a bit further down the playlist! Damn, just a great song!
Great delicate little song. What a nice sound!

Great arrangement and a terrific song, Peter!
