Trevor posted the song onto the Songcrafters forum. I loved the haunting feel of it and wanted to add an atmospheric keyboard part. Here's the outcome...
Bought a new bass guitar and wanted to try it out, so made this last night. Gotta say the bass parts were easy, the guitar took ages to get right though. Now my fingers are sore.
New song about sad events in Japan. Meant with respect and sympathy

I was out of town on the day
When the wave swept our world away
I've gotta find you, gotta get home
Deep inside the exclusion zone
I have to find you girl
The most beautiful…

Original song kind of in response the Pussycat Dolls song.
I'd like to dedicate this to Eddie Van Halen, for being such a massive inspiration to a generation. If you're reading this Eddie, thanks. And please don't sue me for stealing your riffs.
Archive recording, dating back to around 1996
Recorded in one take and more or less improvised at the time
Warning - contains a word some might find offensive...
The video is for the later version with the electro in it.
Another old one from back in the mid ninties.
Everyone that's ever written a song has written a song called Baby Blue. This is mine.
Lyrics
Baby Blue, Baby Blue
I love you, yes I do
I'll admit, I think about you
Baby I can't face…
I love how no-frills a lot of your compositions are. You just stab your fork into the proverbial pie. If that makes sense. But yeah, I like this one too.
Song about jealousy and weakness
Lyrics
He's here again, still hanging around
He's getting closer, [this] new friend that you've found
You tell me to cool it, don't over-react
I'm finding it hard, with the men you attract
I've seen…
Did this back in 2009.
Before me and Jim actually met each other...
The music was improvised to the notion of returning home from space.
Jim did the Lyrics in 5 mins over the net..
And here it is..

Track #3 from the "Someone Else's Hell" album.
Lyrics:
Familiarity breeds contempt
I'm tired of everybody thinking they know me
It's time for a change of pace my friend
A new scene to set on fire again
// I need something to be…
First track I produced on my DAW...just tryin' to get the feel of thing at the time (no manual...well...a manual, but it's in Japanese...so same thing). Anyway, it's pretty simple...programmed a drum track, threw down a fretless dub line...threw…

I wish I could do quiet songs. Can't do it, everyone always ends up loud. It's a skill you obviously have though, Jim, this is just dreamy, I feel like lazy summer is already here...
Cover of the Joy Division classic, with a little drum'n'bass thrown into the mix
This version from September 2010
The youtube version is my original recording going back to 1997.
Thanks for the comments everyone. You're right,this is done with love and respect, Joy Division are one of my big influences, especially going to university Manchester (actually Salford) in the Eighties.
It's a cover of the Boston song, More than a Feeling. In a sort of euphoric house style. Which isn't my normal style by any means.
It's not a song which has been a big part of my life, I heard it in the Men Who Stare at Goats film and could…

Comments on odh's stuff
Great cover!
Like it.
Good stuff!
neat instrumental, sounds great.
And a mother's! This song has very direct lyrics, like you are saying the words to her, your voice has real pain. Wonderful!
I've always liked Trevor's music, love your additions here . Great work guys.

This is awesome! reminds me of early sci-fi films
This takes me back! hahaha nice one!
Love the guitar in this track, pickin in the background - like that sound.
Ha ha ha!yes i agree Highway Maintenance Woman does have a certain ring to it.This is great stuff by the way!
excellent - !! from Vaisvil
i've read a few awhile ago, seems like a long awhile ago from now
Nicely done!
This has some honest soulfulness coming through the vocals...
Nice cover.

I enjoyed it. Like the bass and the subtle building on the arrangement. Not at all boring.
Really pleased I came across your stuff. You're my new favorite band...
I love the vibe and intensity. This is right up my 'street'.
Pink Floyd, Jan Hammer and Ennio Morricone - there's a supergroup I'd pay to see. Big sounds here, nice production
Something of the Dylan about it. Great mellow feel.
My kind of song. I think you're voice is good without the screaming too, has a kind a fragility which appeals. Good stuff...
Zombie, please, if you're offereing...
Nice pluckin'
Sehr gut, mag ich. Wicked
Great singing, nice cover
Lovely sounding instrument. Could use a flute accompaniment.
Moving piece. The shear weight of personal tragedy is overwheling and your music somehow seems to connect with it.
Beautiful
You've got a brilliant voice, very expressive. Loving the alt-country feel to your stuff.
