this is the first track of my 1st solo album "flying solo" don't want to swamp the place with all mystuff so will upload them gradually
written on september the 3rd 2010 this is what i said about the song at the time.....
was saddened to hear…
this is one for the over fifties
we strolled along
lost avenues
with no regrets
and nonchalance
who's kidding who
so confident
so bold and full
of bravado
when we were young
we knew it all
with certainty
you couldn't tell
cos we couldn't hear…
a mind
escaped
destruction
signalling
for help
taking refuge
with the dead
afore arrival
of the shifter
o you who turn the wheel
and look to windward
o you who turn the wheel
consider phlebas
the search
ensues
determined
are the foes
questioning…
not really a ghost in my house it just badly needs rewiring.
There’s a ghost in my house
That we can’t see
Moving things around
When we’re not here
Playing little tricks
On my memory
Playing little games
With my mind
There…
not really a ghost in my house it just badly needs rewiring.

a tribute to captain beefheart/ don van vliet whilst quietly celebrating my birthday i heard of the good captains passing, so i wrote this in tribute to him.
My captain
Undercover
Underground
Off the beaten track
Blazing new trails
For us to follow…

I'd only heard the various live versions, where I was concentrating on the performance etc... on this one I noticed what an excellent song it is as well!
Love the dual vocal.

she will smother you with all her love
take you by the hand and drown you with passion
she could lead the blind astray
and break the will of stronger men than me
she will take your heart

this later became a jemima's kite song but this is the bare bones of the song before mike and tim added to it.
Just there
Not here
Just there
So close
So far
So near
So where you are
You take it as you find it
You see it as it is
You’re right…

It is my desire to free the inner child, to see like a child sees, to be in awe of my surroundings.
Wake up, little child, come out of hiding
I don't, i don't want to hurt you anymore
I want to see the world through your eyes.

Two ambient guitar tracks recorded independently and stick together. I broke my rule of not using distortion on a BL piece, for the first time, believe it or no.
wow, what a great soundscape you have created here.
and both guitars recorded independently of each other. am i correct in understanding that you recorded each track without listening to the other? wow! wow! wow!

I like the idea behind this. Effectively uplifting via a low-key approach.
This one is special!
solid song....... great vocal
great authentic eigthies sound
I love this song! The guitar reminds me of Felt at their best, and those double-track vocals are like honey. I like the drums!!
Solid track!
I dont think i've heard this one James , its bloody good though , nice one
pretty great. reminds me of some calm version of Peter Gabriel genesis.
I'd only heard the various live versions, where I was concentrating on the performance etc... on this one I noticed what an excellent song it is as well! Love the dual vocal.
the juno di is dave , you know my body bpm couldnt do that.
Fantastic lyrics. Vocals almost sound like Richard Harris with dynamic emotion..
who is playing those drums?
I like this. The earthy vocals almost seem in contrast to the backing but they wok well together.
Hey there buddy.....welcome over here......or was that there......I am not sure where the hell I am..........how the hell did I not hear this song before? freaky. Great stuff.
Woo! This is really effective. I don't think I've heard it before, but no matter... I needed two listens one after the other. Love it.
I'm still kinda stunned by this one. Welcome over here! :)
