Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)

This is a little ditty I did for a local songwriting group I'm in. The prompt was "No instruments" and a previous prompt was "One chord only", so I combined the two.

For the grandchildren, when I get some!
Moonbee started life as a doodle, then he was turned into a little story, then a song!

I thought I'd uploaded this ages ago!
Less chaotic 'Chaos' after I found a melody I was happy with, and the delay button :)
Enjoy! xox
P.S. I knew I'd seen it on here somewhere - it was uploaded by Jip under Third Quarter of the Moon :)

Based on a poem by William Sharp that I found while researching my family history.
The poem has been put to music once already, by one Christopher Goldsack, http://www.sundown.pair.com/Sharp/piratepoem.htm but I wanted to put my own little…

"No Need"
Music and Lyrics by OsCKilO 2013
I had never seen a place so cold...
Glad I don't live there any more.
Happy that I like the simple life...
Bright lights.
Sun and Moon.
Any Star that lead away from you.
Now I move on, not moved…
I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.
Alonetoners - you're hearing it first!

Another in this Poem Me song sessions. Trying to suit the song to the person is difficult when you don't know them - for this one I have no excuses - my collaborator, Lady Jane!
RPM 2013 feat. Gary Fox instrumentation
quiet down now, world
bring the lights down, world
we're going to paint a little
pitch black moment
hush those city lights
those neon lullabies
we're off and dreaming with our
eyes wide open…
A noodle that turned into a doodle which turned into a song....thats what you get when you watch David Attenborough's Africa on TV................
No Rain (Lyrics)
The earth was scorched as dry as stone
nothing anywhere wanted to grow
the Devil…
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.

A 90 second song, written and recorded on the evening of 12th June 2012.
Acoustic guitar, uke, glockenspiel, bass, slide guitar, tambourine, piano, singing, bells, shaker, melodica by Andy.
After a long day at work, I wanted to do something…
A rough demo
Guest vocal - Sarah Marshall
Violins played by Kate Brennan
Suck and you'll see
A bitter aftertaste of us
It's all gone slightly sour
And past it's sell-by hour
Throw them all out
Make a wish and close your eyes
What have you to…
A lil rocker influenced by some of my faves, Springsteen, Petty etc.. well i left my home and family
and made my way out west
i lost my job at the steel mill
im a hoping for the best
in this life
for my kids and wife
just outside of Davenport…
Skeen 130215
Melodic idea by Tiggy Acworth 23rd November 2012.
Made reality and added to quite superbly by David Bevan in February 2013. A perfect example of a living, breathing SKEEN. Music to live by?
Most definitely a click free recording…
#RPM Challenge 2013#
Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
Comments on Lady Jane's stuff
I think your *"Back Up Band"* is holding you back. I found myself leaning in to hear that GREAT voice of yours.
that was fun :)
Did I spot some BVs by Macca and Len? love the timbre of your vox and the whole is encompassed with your straight-laced take on this classic. G:)
I was thinking that (intense backing track) - I had to listen twice to "block" that out and listen to you! Ace vox.
Nice one. Thats a pretty intense backing track. Your vox fit perfect.
cool
Very inventive
quite nice ma lady
I stopped by for another listen. It's facinating.
Wonderful video. Reminded me that I haven't watched all of my Noggin the Nog DVD yet.
Tbe vid is sweet. Love the floating bee. Very cool.
The birds were singing - they are the Chakra Chicks Chorus - didn't you see them wibbling about? LOL
I was watching earlier on FB made me smile.... Iove how he bee floats about.....nicely done .....would be even better if the birds were singing along too but excellent all the same...bravo
Moonbee now has a video. I hope it makes you laugh as much as I did making it :)
Ah, bliss..! So glad you remembered this gem.
:) Very enchanting!
Happy feel to this version. loved the vibe. G:)
Yo Ho! Yo Ho! moody and so atmospheric. Yo Ho! Yo Ho! G:)
A Certain JNSQ! Had to bop about a bit - as you do. Thank you! G:)
When I read the "about" I thought "uh-oh, it ain't gonna grab me" BUT! It's fab, love it :-)
