A second ghost story, but of a different sort. Once again in Hungarian Minor.

It's October and that means time for ghost stories. This one came out of a couple of songs posted last month in Hungarian Minor. I found that to be a spooky scale, so I built on it for a couple of songs this month.

I remember getting in to this band when I was a teenager. Suddenly everything made sense! They're a big source of inspiration for me musically, and I'm grateful I get to be around in the right time period to hear their music! Still writing…

When I grew up in the 1970's, 80's and 90's, one of the loose "Golden Rules" was that people shouldn't talk about either one of two subjects: Politics and/or Religion ... The societal wisdom was that by avoiding these often contentious subjects…

This is a song which I wrote for my children. Four of whom, I had not seen or heard from, for at least two years, when I wrote it ... (it'd be four years in total before I saw them again.) Yes, I have a Family Court Order which clearly lays…

This song of mine is called "Fallen Idols", and as the title indicates, it is about the "heroes" and "idols" we grew up with, who have since proven to be completely unworthy of those titles. Entertainment stars who were once worshipped, and…

This is an unreleased original song I wrote a little while back... This modern world is probably the LEAST Religious the world has ever been, overall. Meaning that many folks have no organised system of beliefs, values and/or morals. So…

Time for a new song... written for my eldest boy. Anyone who has followed me these last few years knows my story. But in brief, I escaped from a religious Cult, after being enamoured with it for 20 years... In the process though, I lost…

This song, was the first one I wrote after leaving my wife... Well... I say "left", but in truth she literally changed the locks on our home, and after working my usual long shifts, I came home at around 7pm to find that my key no longer worked…

Here's something I wrote with the listener's peace of mind... in mind. So sit back, relax... let the waves roll over you... and just BE. There is no Doctor here seeking to inject you with his "poison"... Only a Doctor of Nature, who sincerely…

I wrote this song in September of 2021 (my first official release, on the piano) originally with all the good folks in mind, who were suffering through "lockdowns", all around the world. But upon completing it, I realised that it was coming…

I wrote this song, during the height of the so-called "pandemic"... so forgive the obvious frustration and perplexment, in my sincere words, at the time: Introducing my latest song (as well as a bit of contextual ranting!) ... This latest…

Well, I've finally reached "that" age... wherein I mourn for a lost past; one that will most likely never return. Honestly, we didn't know how good we had it, at the end of the 20th Century... especially from the 70's thru to the 90's. But…

I'm going to keep this one simple, because it is so personal: It is a genuine "love story", and the last love song I will ever write. She adored this song, whilst our shared love was at its peak... but I guess it wasn't enough to maintain…
