Lady Jane's one woman band! No loops today - I got all my instruments out - all being guitar (played with plectrum in neck without realising - oops!), bongos, rain stick, ting sha bells, tibetan singing bowl and tinkly bell thing from my miniature…
Collaboration with Freight Drive Reprobates (music) and Darkarma (lyrics).
Don't think it's my best, but it's been hanging around for so long, I needed to get it out so I can move on to the next one :)
Enjoy!
I've been messing about with my virtual keyboard this week, in preparation of an amazing collaboration I'll be working on soon :)
Beat and sax are from Mixcraft.
Enjoy! xox
Based on a poem by William Sharp that I found while researching my family history.

Aye, that Captain is a creeper, a'skulkin' down irie morning.
'N'ah cannah tell from the way he is lookin' at you, never you mind the peacock feather in 'is hand, but, yea cannah be sure that his intentions are matching your ambitions, that, 'e be sure to sell you your hand, after you've had a hook fitted to replace:
in fact, the Captain will *serve* you your hand, parboiled with a side of parsnips, under the irie moon, if'n you 'aven't found something to eat, by then.
Yaargh.

A story of conflict between a couple. I played the part of the male, Shelagh (I think) was herself. Came together in the studio and was a favourite live.
A song that I wrote in the mid-90s, became a bigger number when my band 'Y' took it into the studio and we tightened it up a notch. Proud of this one (as of all of my babies) G:)
The story is of the actor on the stage...

Moonbee started life as a doodle, then he was turned into a little story, then a song!
This is Part 1 of the series - I have no idea how many there will be in total!
Enjoy! xox

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.
The haikus were written for a creativity group I'm in, so I used them for…
Warts and all - the idea behind the song was that I would probably not had the same day as Lou Reed and this is a true representation of the most probable outcome!
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 :)
How can you forget you've written a song? I found this back-tracking through my recordings, and I love it - one of my favourites for a host of reasons. G:)
I put up a wren house in the trees and garden where I was living and surprisingly a house wren moved in. Every day he sang his song in a repeating pattern ... a natural loop. I held a mic out the window one morning and taped his beautiful repetitive…
WOW! What a beautiful idea. I saw a wren in our garden a couple of weeks ago, sat on the fence in the snow. Such a tiny little thing. This is gorgeous :)
