This track is an outtake from my Mellotronic EP. It was originally going to be the lead track on that EP, but as the concept for the EP gelled, this track just didn't seem to fit (despite the Mellotron). It's currently under consideration as the…

Started recording this with no idea what to do with the sound. Wound up with three different vocal takes to choose from, didn't like any of them, used all of them.

Side 2 of my virtual record. It's a long, mostly instrumental suite (a 'Lounge Suite' - I know that's corny but I just cant resist:) The different sections run as follows: Opposite Attractions Sloppy Jo Too Many Martinis Prefix/Suffix A Cup of…

A song I've had stored in my head for quite awhile, though never committed to tape (erm... binary code) - probably because I thought it was a bit simple and even trite. Having to come up with an album's worth of material in a month cured me of…

i am thinking about words tonight they can be hard as nails they-can be as shapeless as water they can break your heart they can hang like a chain hold you up for years cause you to think twice take away your fears you are falling in love…

Lyrics: I don't know what you want when you treat me that way I can't help being turned on Is that what you want Just to see what I would do To see if I'm in love with you I'm trying so hard to sit here and ignore the way that you…

Lyrics: Pass me a handle of that old time tennessee It's been a while since I've seen the devil It's a common mistake to think that I'm a sweet and gentle soul but give me a chance to change your mind Cause you have never seen me like…

"Choices" by Nikki Giovanni If I can't do what I want to do then my job is to not do what I don't want to do It's not the same thing but it's the best I can do If I can't have what I want... then my job is to want what I've got…

Lyrics: I'm not sleeping I'm staring at the ceiling My mind's a thousand miles away I'm finding faces in the shapes of plaster that was scraped on the ceiling Killing time is not so bad but when you're trapped inside your head…

Lyrics: A lazy hound lying on the couch sleeping the day away The sunlight comes pushing through the curtains warming the old dog's face The savory smell from a wood burning stove holds you while you awake Brew some tea while others emerge…

Lyrics: No one told me to watch my back I was thinking 'bout what I lack What's a boy supposed to do Life has got me blue No one told me to watch my back Now it seems I've gone off the track It wasn't that hard to do It caught me by…

Lyrics: I was walking through the square when I heard the towers fell from a stranger passing by and they caught it live couldn't believe my eyes And we talked a lot about what it meant to be a free society and our resiliency but we…

"In a reformatted world with deleted people, there are still enough dead links that some individuals might indirectly be aware of the existence of those deleted. To everybody else, they'd seem either spiritual and/or mentally imbalanced…

somewhere around 3 minutes you should here the sound of people chopping down a tree in the Peruvian Amazon turn into the beat of the song. This song was somewhat influenced by Kim Hiorthøy.

An ambulance ride through the poor side of town; a delivery of self and social status lyrics: The outside was a barren wasteland; dilapidated houses garbage on the ground And the buildings' aging faces echoed the sirens and her pain across…

So many people today want to be the musician they idolize; be somebody that they will never be. This song is for them.

04 – Machiavellian Ways. Written 5th Feb. Recorded 5th/9th Feb. Mark Morriss has written some really witty triple rhymes in a slightly country fashion, and I wanted to try it too. Although I am not sure if I succeeded, I had fun - and got…

02 – Falling Down Again. Written 17th/18th Feb.  Recorded 17th/18th/19th Feb. A slightly schizophrenic pop song, with a vocal section that also betrays me wanting to be a Beach Boy. Worryingly there is actually a red sticky trickle that seeps…

01 – My Prayer. Written and recorded 16th Feb. Paying homage to ‘Our Prayer’, the opening of SMiLE – the Beach Boy’s album that never was. An extended version of this song appears on ‘28 seconds later’, an album on which each song is exactly…

You never let me smile You never let me out of sight You never let me live You never learned you had to give I'm taking it away x 2

Let me introduce to you Every woman child and man The place I did my growing up Raised by grandma's hand I think you'll find That folks are kind They're sure to ask you in Enter the warmth Close the door And my story will begin…

I was a babe You was a man and i was a child. Oh and the pain You was a man and I was a child. You shifted the blame Onto the child I never forgave And if you were here you'd see a man gone wild. Through the eyes of a child. x3…
