Me and Mrs Rottenhead nearly parted our ways, but we pulled through stronger than ever. Phew!
When you pull at that thread
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
And do you see any of the old crowd
I wonder where they all are now
The years…

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…

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…

Vocal and Lyrics by Jim Higgins

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.

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.
