Quirky sound... Shades of The Bonzo Dog Band. Love the contrast between the happy/upbeat sound and the darker subject matter. Looking forward to more :-)
Not bad, the song has a very nice rythm to it! I think if you team up with a DJ on one of you next singles, it would surely be a hit in the charts. Nice work, can't wait for next release.
They tore down the theater, now there's nothing to do on those summer days, well anyways...Who cares?
We all drink black coffee, and we smoke and we talk about poetry, philosophy and fear...as days fly by another wasted year.
I finally left…
Great recreation of early 60's pop sounds, very cool. The only thing that really gives it away is the vocal harmony, not sure why. Maybe it would have been doubled or something, or buried further in the mix.
Strange Times is an international collaboration between Roger Harris & myself. Roger initiated the idea with the first verse and chorus along with a chord progression. I added the last verse and took some liberty in producing this version…
Um - yeah. There are a few naughty words - many apologies.
This is a bonus track -- unless I can't think of a legitimate track 10. If so, then this is both the highlight and crowning achievement of the album, and I totally intended it to be.
As a child my mother once climbed up a tree. From there she shouted to her twin brother "It is the roof of heaven showing from here"
Taivaan katto means the roof of heaven in English

I can see you on your rocking horse now
The one that turned around and kicked you in the teeth
He thought…
We're bored in lockdown again. I call out for collaboration and Joe Whibley pops out of the aether. And this is what happened. Joe did a fucking fantastic job with most of the work (playing all the instruments and a vocal), I just stuck in some…
Are you scared to wake up?
In the same place you laid your head.
You scribble on your make up,
To pretend your face's not dead.
And I know,
Yes I know.
The opposition shows.
Are you afraid to take up?
Memoirs of your past.
You hang…
so.... i first wrote & recorded this song in 2015, and then did a new version in 2017, and here's my updated 2020 version...
still not totally happy with it but... here we are anyway lol...
I live in a house with a river running at the bottom of the garden so i wrote a song about it.

When I get down by the river and I watch it flow
I Wonder where the hell it finally goes
Snaking…

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…

Breezy as ever!

Brilliantly original version. Love it!
Back for another listen... love it :-)
Love the retro vibe of this - quite "Byrds-y", great vocal harmonies. Thanks for the kind words on Slapshot, by the way :-)
Ah the worst kind of ending…but so beautifully weaved. Love your style.
Lovely stuff... reminds me of The Kinks :-)
love the guitar tone on this...great track...takes me back to a more innocent time ...which is a good thing...
Ah Boston! I've been there! Anyway, this is a quirky little ditty. Cute!
Instant sunshine!
Nicely done.

I dig how y'all blended, mixed down and mastered the vocal tracks -- fabulous job!
