A little celestial inspiration for this song.... I started it and Greg and Mark helped me finish it and then record around my kitchen table. Feel free to howl if you like it!

Old music library track. I recorded this with a cheap Yamaha keyboard my step-father gave me. Wish I would have add little more to the repeat of the melody, but I think I…
Written for my sweet Dad... and for anyone else going through the hard times at the end, this is for you too
By Your Side
Chorus:
I just want to sit by your side
Hold your hand
And let the world go by
Hear your stories
About a…
Lyrically it's about the time I had a 'proper' job and how (despite the fact that I liked my immediate team and my role) I could not adapt to the nonsense involved in climbing the greasy pole in a corporate world.
Initially I wasn't sure about…
I wanted to go down a different path with this one and try a new vibe altogether; no guitars at all and the bass guitar (my new Fender Mustang) only appears at the end of the song

Lovely sound and beautiful vocals. I especially liked where it sounded like you were self-harmonizing.

Excellent! Great hearing from you again!

This one slightly reminds me of San Jacinto by Peter Gabriel :) Your music is sophisticated and accomplished. Brilliant!
