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…
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

nice song here. in the future, you might want to rethink the filming locations for your videos, though ;)
i enjoyed your whole album, you have a very nice voice.

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...
This started off as the first unplugged recording I ever made.
Bruce (Blooby)kindly added some drums and pipes to it....
Then Oldrottenhead sang a lyric over it a bit later...
The way this evolved amazed be. Never thought it would…
i forgot about this song and that it was remembrance day today, 55 minutes till 11am tho.so i can still observe the monment.

Impossibly simple tune comprising only two-fingered chords, aka the McCartney challenge. Conceived and recorded in an hour between two grueling sessions of hedge-clipping the massive (16ft tall, 35ft long) privet hedge in my backyard. I think…

Reg had a bit of tiff with the Mrs so he stormed down the cellar to release his anguish with Elvis and turned it into this little beauty .....now he feels a lot better and is making Mrs Reg a nice cup of tea to say sorry....because lets face it…
I'm a long-time fan of Imogen Heap. I particularly love the way she layers her vocals- harmonies and interlocking bits. I love trying to do the same in my music, but she owns it.
Anyway, I've been wanting to cover her for a while now but have…
I'm really thinking of renaming the upcoming "Burning Wood... The Bonfire Sessions" album "Stealing Genius." I write something simple, put down some picking at the beginning, some acoustic guitar and some vocals, and send it off to people with…
About a place in the world that is very special.
But It would be just another bit of rock if it wasn't for the people I shared it with....

i must say what a fantastic mix sandy i absolutely love it.
i have had the privelege of hearing this from the outset, about 2 or 3 weeks ago sandy sent me his (in my eyes completed) version and i added my bits, then passed the baton onto dave to add his bits, so i have heard three earlier versions, then my inner puppy was dying to hear the finished piece and had to contain myself for two weeks.
wow! it was well worth the wait and the vocal rythms are the icing on the cake.
oh some of you may recognise mrs orh's laugh as she appears on quite a few of my songs(thanks for leaving it in) she was in the next room and her timing unplanned but perfect imho.
Comments on oldrottenhead's stuff
nice...that 'bird' thing is so subtle yet it makes the whole thing
you are a gentleman.
I like the vocals and the subtle ambient samples really set this
cool tune. great lyrics
I simply am in love with this song Jim!!!! LG
This remains my all time favorite from 'The Kite' .... LG
voice brings me to Bowie a bit...great space on these recordings...nice work
lol cheers
nice song here. in the future, you might want to rethink the filming locations for your videos, though ;) i enjoyed your whole album, you have a very nice voice.

like this one a lot. your voice sounds a little david bowie-ish here. nice drum track, too :)
yes

Wooo Whooo , summers here , this is a beatiful song , makes you feel relaxed and happy
soothing i like the peacefulness.
Really catchy tune! Love the stereo guitars!
Like that crazy can't take too much more voice ......scary
Love the Juno D. My Juno recently met it's end. I sold it for parts. :(
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...
