From Bethan Reads

Ah I hope that my title is not overly presumptious...I love funk and just assume every one else does too :)

Well I did try and get an RPM challenge done after last years fail, but I'm still lacking enthusiasm or creativity. Hence the uninspiring title of 'The Fifth', as this was the 5th track I was working on and the only one that came close to completion…

Your eyes reflect my future. Your smile explains my past. Your eyes reflect to me a future that I’d never seen. A kind of family, an unknown commonality. Your blue eyes staring into my blue eyes feels new to me. A mirror but the lines around…

A friend asked me, "Don't you have any happy songs?" So I wrote one! IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY capo @ 3 C F C If it makes you happy I will tie your shoe C…

used to do this song by budgie back in the late 70's, 80's and 90's.

from the album "the Machine" it's hard without a heart pretending to care watching with greed and spite you're unaware you'll never see the ghost inside the machine you're weak and all alone that's why you fail programmed to fix the…

Song inspired by the economic debacle.

I rarely play music with other people, firstly because I lack the technical skill to follow another's lead. I can do little more than improvise. Secondly, the sort of music I aspire to make is rarely the music other folks would be interested in…

This cut was made right after operation Shock and Awe started. I wanted to try and capture the feel of being an innocent civilian caught in the middle of it with helicopters flying around...gun-fire swirling around, etc. It's particularly a tribute…

No offense meant to my English friends. ;) I grew up there as a kid, so we have common cause. Anyway, this song is more about the struggle between the material and spiritual, doing the right thing when you are called upon, etc. Hope you enjoy!

from Live at KXCI Tucson, AZ studio session: When I was in the 7th grade, I used to skip school on Wednesday mornings so that I could watch the Nat King Cole show on PBS. I was mesmerized by his music. I could feel his vocal influence as I wrote…

Track 3 / Band: The Anchorage Drift / Album: The Anchorage Drift (2010)

So, I did multiple demos of this in my bathroom (for the echo) in the days before recording it. It is fun to play on acoustic. I record the real thing and it just screamed string quartet (or the Fox version of said quartet) I had never done strings…

I actually wrote the entire song so I could get Jessica to sing the line "Have you heard how her voice sounds with mine" along with me. NEW LULLABY Keith Landry: Vocals, Guitars Jessica Landry: Vocals Oh what a beautiful sound Seventh…
