A song that sort of wrote itself, quite quickly, wouldn't say it's a happy song, but
sometimes you can't help what pops out.

Oh yesss... I did miss this one when you posted it... Found it now, though. Love it. I can't get my missus to sing. I was sure she had a few "Hey Hey"s in her... Anyways... this is fab. DADGAD and the mix of voices floating over it.
I started to listen to this the t'other day but ran out of Time... (see wot I did there? hehe) (Mrs R dragged me away to do something important). Glad I came back - nice one.
I was watching the breeze in the trees and it got me to thinking ........
Winter
I look into the trees and I see that the breeze is blowing and I’m beginning to freeze
Cause the wintertime is coming cause the leaves have started blowing…
A simple little guitar/drum loop that is just an excuse to layer big fuzzy guitar parts in harmony. I added quite a bit of soup onto the harmonies too, and put some backward vocals... just for trippy fun.
The cleanish guitar is a Gibson ES…
A friend asked me,
"Don't you have any happy songs?"
So I wrote one!
IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY capo @ 3

Not sure about this one.
This was written as part of the 2012 RPM Challenge. I had tried RPM five times prior to 2012 and had failed miserably every time. About a week into February that year I had actually decided to call RPM quits in general…
Well Reg was watching the news and he couldn't believe a word that our great prime minister was saying ....He believes that Boris is actually working against us rather that with us in our battle against the Covid. Reg lives in the North of England…
Wow!! Ray has done a cracking job on this....he has made a silk purse from my pigs ear attempt at the piano, the instrumentation is perfect for the song and the production is also..... i'm sure you'll agree .....I love it Thanks Ray

I’ve seen you crash back down into the ash
Like an inverted Phoenix
So delectable yet totally ineffectual
Those intellectual verbal tricks
I’ve tried to save ya from your bad behaviour
And keep you safe within the mix

Some blues/boogie fun.
Ain’t no fun
It's a well known fact
When you’re with the wrong woman
And caught in the act
Sworn to secrecy
We even made a pact
But didn’t matter
We were caught in the act
Been watched and followed

Piano & Vocal Thanks for listening ….
The owl and the Pussy cat
If I was a pussy cat
I’d sail of to sea
I’d try and find that place where I really want to be
I’d find a little island out there in the sea
I’d sit on my rock and watch…
Poor old Reg is off to rehab again ...maybe this time he'll learn
Tomorrow is another day
It was Wednesday in the car on the way to rehab

As the car pulled over a man in white

On a snowy winter’s morn
You can’t do this on your own
You can’t do this on your own
Oh baby let me take you.
Oh baby let me take you
Out to the windy cliff

(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
This is a collab with Kari & Kopi from Finland i got the idea for the lyrics fron Frank Sinatra's it was a very good year ....any way here it is Thanks for listening

Well... I have a feeling that many of us may wish for a 2020 do-over. So here's a simple song to make that wish for us all!
