This is just a collab done with someone else. I really didn't like the chords they chose, but oh well. I enjoyed it for the most part. They did the guitar parts... and composed the rest... with some feedback from them from time to time.

headin home on a saturday night,
left early to come and make you feel all right,
went to quench this thirst of mine,

my stomachs turning and my head is light,
going to a town i left behind.

Well, this is why I don't play drums. It's the best Moon I could pull off. I keep hammering the gtr riff over and over, but it's because it was so much fun to play. Its structure is a little too meandering in hindsight, but oh well. For whatever…

The riff came to me in a flash and was probably the first time I recorded an idea on my (then) new micro-cassette player. It was supposed to be one of those spoken songs, complete with 70's backing vocals. I don't know if I pulled it off, but…

A song for someone you know. A song for everyone you know. A song about denial, and denial of denial.

An early one from that period. I was still learning how to do everything myself. It was fun to record, though in hindsight...well, it's a little thin.

One of my first favorite songs...I had this idea floating around for years, even tried it with the band in late 98-99. This 2001 recording comes closest to capturing what I hear in my head.

Ok, so on this one I wear my influences on my sleeve. This is one that quickly went in one direction so I decided to ride it to the maximum. I still like the words to this one. I'm no Costello (Elvis) but I did ok here.

So, I start playing my Guild acoustic. However, the strings were new and had gone all slackish, meaning down a few tones. I liked what it sounded like and took them all off. I then restrung the gtr with super heavy guage acoustic strings. I then…

I almost thought I knew it, so very close to space and time

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

Lyric:

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.

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?

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.

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…
