And watch the world unfurl
Around you
Please don’t pick at that scab
Leave it well alone
Or it will never mend…
My dad, Jimmy Higgins (17.08.1937 - 05.10.1977) would have been 80 years old today, sadly he passed away at the age of 41. He was quite a guy and fitted more into his short life than i could probably fit in if i live to be 200 years old.

I’ve come this way like those before me
And those yet still to come
It fills me with a sense of wonder
To watch the rising sun
how many times
how many souls
Have acted out these scenes
It fills me with…

a wee short one
A long time has passed since we last met
I hope that life’s been treating you well
And what are you up to these days
Are you with somebody else

I wonder where they all are now
The years…

Okies, so I'm working on some other thing and it's taking a while... drums to do and wotnot. But in the middle of it I'm digging how my Martin acoustic is working out. You probs won't even be able to hear it amongst…

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…
very brave but very wonderful, like a long lost early ""split enz" take on it.

a WAV format version of the album is available on soundcloud

I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
Comments on oldrottenhead's stuff
Great song. A lovely sound to it all...

Very nice! Sounds like U2 circa Pop/Zooropa (a bit), for lack of a better comparison.
like it :-)
nice, love the base
Atmospheric and effective. Like the way it develops
This is great. Rhythmic and clever lyrics too!
Excellent vocal and guitar sound. Really good.
A wonderful song with great ambience and vocals, very much enjoyed.
Tasty track. Like it.
You got my feet tapping with this one! Great Mix.
Rocks. Cool mix.
Excellent ........
What a beauty.......
cool bass line and a totally danceable groove. Great mix man! this is quite awesome.
this has taken on a greater meaning with the news about scottish author iain banks. my thoughts are with him and his family.
Braw, great tune!
Wonderful track, ORH, it's simple and doesn't try to be more or less than it is. Hits the nail on the head, so to speak.
Oh man ....nice song. Seen it up the other day and did not gvet a chance to listen.
Had trouble getting this to play earlier - real glad I gave it another go. Wonderful.
