Whatever thoughts we had
of any home we once had known
were cast off way back down the road

I know we've gone too far
to ever see somethin' that's new
but that's a price I'll pay
to stay this close to you
There may…

Your halo's bent yeah

We shoot for the moon

Your tarnished reputation

A rumor's just that

Break my stride break my stride
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
When I feel this way
There's only one thing to do
Nothin' gonna break my stride
Gonna walk down the road

Nothin' gonna break my stride…

Toward You

With each new day I'll seek a way
To get as close as I may
Toward you
It's my destiny to set you free
Until then I can only see
Toward you
Throughout the night under the light
Of the moon I drive
Toward you
Through rain and snow…

Dream Song

Was I dreaming in my bed
Visions of the past
Rollin' through my head
Or was I driving in my car
Rain fallin' down
I couldn't see very far
Strange animals in shadows by the road
I knew a secret
But I forget everything I'm told…

I believe that you’re spinning around
You’re spinning around in your make believe
You are a person of interest

You, you’re stepping in time, you’re out of step

10 minutes long? Three part harmonies? Very long fade out on a very long fruity guitar noodle? Yup, welcome to another lame attempt at prog rock!

The afterlife was a major theme on this year's RPM Challenge album.
The lyrics come from the concept that ghosts aren't aware that they are deceased - they're kind of caught in this time bubble of sorts.
If ghosts are oblivious that they…

Frozen eyes....
and like the wail of a crying child...
she grieves for what is lost to her...
finding solace in a shared moment....
she absently brushes the thought away....

Just did not really make the cut for RPM this year but had some good concept licks so I decided to let it sleep here.

Well, one of my early Uke songs. Always popular (as it's over quicker) and a firm favourite of... mine! Have realised that with some gentle persuasion it could segue into Pinball Whizz-Bang! which is still in the melting pot! Watch this space. G:)

Warts and all - the idea behind the song was that I would probably not had the same day as Lou Reed and this is a true representation of the most probable outcome!

Another Uke song for your delectation, with an air of uncertainty!

Actually I am not Jamaican you listen to any of my tracks. This is a Uke song - you have been warned!

Not 'Two Fingers' to the establishment, but getting maximum effect from minimum effort. two fingers on the left hand do all the running around whilst all other digits just 'keep fort'. Made sense to me G:)

Another in the 'Stream of Consciousness' ideas that I have - whereby I start with no lyrics, no tune, but just grab the wood and strings and strum for a while. Just an idea G:)

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift.

At the end of this road
Red rock and blue skies

Deep in the heart of it all

Covered in fog
