I remember when we were young
I remember waiting for the sun
you said you loved me
you said you need me
you said you want me
and that was forever
I remember the stories of our days
I remember the tears in your eyes

all the pounding waves
drowning out the sound
the sound is poison
diving down below
sinking very slow
drown away the sound
if I, can't make it
stop your soliloquy
I feel the death inside me
in this succession
the still and quiet
I will succumb…

This is the first public output after going through about 40% of nickstutorials.com sound design series.

Contrary to public opinion, the term "The Holy Ground" doesn't refer to the Emerald Isle. Nope. It's the name of a whore house that Irish sailors would visit. The Irish have quite a sense of humor...!

Never, never again. How many times have we all uttered that statement the "morning after?" This song explores the regrets from the night before and blames it all on "devil drink cider called Johnny Jump Up".

Another ol' Irish song about drinkin' and smokin'. Who knew?

This song's extremely popular and so has been done to death. We decided if we were going to re-make this one, we had to try something new. So, we hit on the 7/4 time signature, the melodica (thought it was bagpipes, didja?), and arrangement. By…

This old song had a lot of braggin' in it. So, we couldn't resist giving it a bit of the old skool hip-hop flavor.

Have you ever heard a traditional Irish folk song re-worked as a ska song? No? How about with an additional Spanish horn riff? Well, now you have! This song tells the story of an unfortunate guy who hooks up with a girl in the kitchen of her boss…

This was the song that launched the entire SHAM ROCK album. This is what happens when you turn up the tempo, crank the volume, and add a horn section.
As with most of these songs, we came up with our own music to add to these songs. So, the…

Another Irish classic. This song tells the story of a group of pub regulars who, upon learning that the pub is on fire, head to the cellar to drink all the booze. You know, cuz it's free that way. What's a few burns?

Mick McGuire was "all that" when he was dating the family's older daughter (who was 40). As soon as he married her and spent all the money, poor Mick was subjected to his Mother-In-Law. Mother-in-Laws have gotten a bad wrap for hundreds of years.

"Tell Me Ma", was featured on National Public Radio's Second Stage. As NPR put it: "Beatnik Turtle is a remarkably prolific and fiercely independent rock group based in Chicago. The eight-piece band includes a full horn section and has been making…

This great old (Public Domain) song by Stephen Foster which I just do and has nothing to do with my current state of life but may not be true for others.
I do this song in a most unusual way. That is to say I changed the melody of the verses…

Lyric:
SHE
She,
Shes never far away from me.
She always gives me what I need.
So that I never want.
She,
She never strays too far from home.
She rarely leaves me all alone.
She's my whole world.
She,
She watches over me.

Certain technology has made us soft and slow and easily distracted and though it started out as a way to make things easier for everyone, it has turned into laziness, and we don't even use that extra time for anything of value anymore.

This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere.
