Heres the second Collab i've done with the talented Billy Jack.........
HARD DRIVE HOME
the clouds form
the sun has gone
the rain begins to falls
what was it
what did it i do
what turned our love into stone
what makes me listen to the love songs…
I heard a story in the title so here it is with the excellent guitar by Jim Movement with contact ....hope you enjoy......
The Fisherman and the Wave (Lyrics)
Hush little child go back to sleep
Daddy will be back real soon
Hush little child go…
The last one for the day....what can i say it had to be done.....
Broken Dreams(Lyrics)
We’ve all had dreams broken
we’ve all wanted the absurd
i dream of being loved again
to hold and not let go
i’ve been waiting for a long time
to try and…

The instrumental on its own didn't grab me (sorry MTC! It was mighty fine but it didn't move me). But this... wow, not only does it work like this - very well - it makes sense of the original instrumental for me.
Fine FINE work chaps.

I was listening to Jims beautiful instrumental and it struck a chord ...so here it is Thanks Jim.....
Shadow of a man (Lyrics)
As i look in the water i see a reflection of what i was
i see the strong man who could have done what ever he wants…
This works :-)
I'm still very fond of the original instrumental, so I was a bit worried what might have happened. But no, no need to have worried... this is great. Obviously the focus is on the vocal instead of the fantastic guitars, but I like the contrast in the styles of the two of you. And great lyrics.
Nice work chaps!

Around & Around (Lyrics)
Now you are my lady and i’ll never understand why you had to runaround with that other man
you know you’d send me crazy you know that i’m not sound when you leave me…
NO! NO NO NO!
Reg, in western Kansas, where I was raised, if a coyote killed a calf, we would put cyanide into it's carcass in hopes that the coyote would return to feed again. That's how you could tell a smart coyote from a dumb one. You would never see the smart one again. The dumb ones would be found next to the carcass.
My point is, if you are in anyway contemplating reuniting with Desiree, remember this story.
[This moves nicely! What is that cool noise right at the very beginning?]

New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…

Reworked the vocals a bit (quite a bit). And yet again! And now, Gumbo Stu is singing backup bits. Thanks for the vocals Gumbo, a very welcome addition!
And, as requested, here are the lyrics:
I'm Not Afraid
You can blow me up

Did this back in 2009.
Before me and Jim actually met each other...
The music was improvised to the notion of returning home from space.
Jim did the Lyrics in 5 mins over the net..

Ilesa is a city located in the south west of Nigeria. This is a traditional rhythm pattern of the same name - but I'm not sure of the significance of the name.

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…
03 – Meteorites. Written 2nd/3rd Feb. Recorded 3rd Feb.
Inspired by the film ‘Stardust’ where our hero meets a (literal) fallen star. The painful low vocals were particularly fun, and their emotional cracking was acting rather than the fact…
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…
This is in some boring typical genre. I just can't figure out which one. Perhaps Wiccan dances for epileptics? Not sure.

This is a guitar piece in classical style in 17 notes per octave using the 17 version of the phyrgian mode. In normal 12 equal tuning phyrgian mode starts on…
Good stuff Chris as far as the introduction goes i have to agree with Alex i understood "This is a guitar piece" but that's all.The video it's great it puts a face to you although a very serious concentrated one. Good one

Classic Reg! Fantastic voice; the pain of love.
Dynamic collaboration!
I love this!! excellent!
Very refreshing presentation. I like the message "All I needs is love". Reminds me of one of my heros . . . Tom Waites.
What a voice - love it!
Nice one mate
Tom Watts meets Louis Armstrong.I like it,
