Hello, I thought I'd upload a track from 1993's Strange Beauty today. It was reviewed by the WMR (Weekly Module Reviews) team (in 1996 I'm guessing.) These reviews were published on "uesnet" about music posts to the same system - Usenet is an…

Another Radiohead cover. One of the first things I spent a lot of time working on. It's a five-piece a capella version, and my hard work really shows in the underlying harmony parts which are very tight.
Sadly the melody part isn't quite up…

So this was my attempt at being nostalgic. I grew up in the UK in the era of Britpop where soulful working class bands sang about not very much in Northern accents. The words are pretty much meaningless, the drum beat is repetitive, the piano…

The piano on this track is from my late grandmother's house - it's the piano I had growing up but eventually my gran gave us her grand piano and took our old upright. I think my brother has it now. Anyway, it's a dull, serviceable old beast but…

This is the first thing I ever recorded using Garageband. The echoey effect in the background is the computer's processor fan - I'm playing the guitary sound back through the speakers! It's a slightly slow version of I Will by Radiohead and I…

Every male artist under the sun has a version of this classic Cohen track it seems. I am no exception! This one I only uncovered recently with a bad vocal track. I removed the vocals and stitched on some new ones, but it's a placeholder only…

Shockingly I first became aware of this track while watching the 2009 film Watchmen (I'm a bit rubbish like that!). It is of course a beautiful Simon and Garfunkel song and although I get the accompaniment slightly wrong I think I've done a pretty…

Radiohead have been my favourite band for a long time and this is the first song of theirs I really loved. I regularly sing this one at karaoke nights. The recording is me in my bedroom with my keyboard, and is based on the acoustic version from…

This is the first original piece I've recorded. In 2001 when I was living in Toronto I met a girl called Amy Jones. She was and remains just a friend, but I thought her name sounded great for being part of a song lyric! So the song isn't about…

Hymn written by Thomas Kelly.
JV- vocals
Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
See Him dying on the tree!
'Tis the Christ by man rejected;
Yes, my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He!
'Tis the long expected prophet,
David's Son, yet David's Lord;…

"A Whiff of an Epiphany"
A sharp burst of air
cuts through the fanfare
dries the idealized fantastic madness

Release my hold on the dream
Melt the nightmare's frozen scream

"Mobius Waltz"
Born of a snowflake
What new form will I take?
Must we shift our shape

Are we the product of stardust and fallout

Selecting memories from a silver platter

"Dear Vacuum"
Will you be my refuge?
Be my haven from the truth
Give me an impossible gift
Give me an everlasting excuse
To rebuild my delusions
In perfect isolation
Scientific loneliness
There is nothing left to lose
I hate the harshness…

"I Wish You Knew"

I wish you knew

You and I set the night on fire

You can build a life

I don't know why, but this morning when I woke you were the first thing that I thought about.

This is a Gibson Epiphone Roadie 1/2 scale guitar I picked up used at Guitar Center for $30. It was on the block because no one set it up. The intonation was horrific. And to top it off the bridge is ever so slightly too close to the nut. But…

I posted a version of this before. This is the same pretty much except that I put down a real, organic, bass track using my Squier Mustang bass, rather than the old synthetic one. The production is a bit ballsier too...
