You have interpreted the poem perfectly Chris. The poignant strings, military drum rolls and booming explosions set the scene most sympathetically. It's rather haunting! Lovely job indeed.
@Kavin, ha ha, it's the accent! Bethan

Chris and Bethan - Spellbinding collaboration... Dramatic, exciting, and beautifully performed. Love the reverse vocals at the end - sounds French! Super cool.

Crumbs Chris, that's incredible. Sounds really good, the music is superb, very nightmarish but dreamy too. Yeah, most impressed.
@Jane, Trev and Kavin, thank you, we had a great time.
I've been going to a lot of performance poetry nights recently, and this is amazing, Bethan. You'd go down a storm at my local Art House! Great collab :)

Shout out to Tom Waits, one of my favs. Rumor has it, he has had a similar problem with his piano.
I didnt think I would make it signing this way to the end of the song, lol.
Throat lozenge anyone??
I like your froggy throat! Reminds me of an iron chef where the main course was lobster and one chef took to dunking his live, huge, 30 year old, lobsters into a cask of sake or something alcoholic. You need a similar cask for your Gibson. To answer your question - glass slide.
A crazy little song written while considering Ed Robertson's plane crash from a few years back, "Any Landing" is given much legitimacy by Ashley's incredible voice and Kavin Allenson's (Kavin S. Acoustic Church) guitar.

Old Age is a bitch.....
As this game of truth, slowly fills up with lies
As the happy ever after gets more and more disguised
The inner truth will pull the mind closed tight
As we introduced ourselves to the end of the night

Just another obscure saint. Not much known about him. Probably much more important and significant than any of us will ever realize.
Oh, yeah, and then there is Saint Simon. Same thing for him.

From December 2017, my take on an old classic, with a little twist of a bonus number near the end. It may be the first tune I did in 6/8 time, at least that anyone has heard from me. This (sort of) should have a rolling highlands sound to it…

Another recent song somehow not posted to AT (?) cleaning house this weekend.
Had the privilege of playing around with a cello in the house.
Dont know how to play the damn thing but too fun not adding it in the mix
Working through a barrage of songs over two different computers. thought I posted this already but its not on AT. (?)
A little re-tooling on this one today as well.
Enjoy- Reef
First one for a long time thanks for listening .... thought i'd try playing everything...still got to work on that bass and drums

Excellent!!
Interesting piece
Certainly is stirring stuff, unnerving and thought provoking. I really love your music Chris it's like it's stalking, ready to pounce - like a cat. Cheers Bee
well done..
Good stuff
Compelling interpretation of a powerful poem. Great job, guys! Tess
Great track, Vaisvil. Strong sounds, well constructed... evocative without having to do too much.

Brilliant, yawl. I swear I could be happy listening to B read a phone book.
like it good mood
Just realized I really like this song, but rarely hear it. You may have topped the original.
Definitely sounds like an Indian influence here. Nice work Chris. I like the tone too, sounds like a really good guitar. Bethan
Really nice! I gotta get me an old electric and pull the frets off sometime!
Not what I was expecting at all but they are there, on the end.I think you are getting good at this Chris. Yes, very clever. Cheers Bee

some original music here!
A beautifully crafted song.
Someone needs to take the Dr's prescription pad from him. I think Gobbels would appreciate this bold rewriting of history. Its sweep is asphyxiating
Yes!

This is really great!
Nice work!
so cheery and bright!
Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
oh I mean this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZQxH_8raCI
It has shades of Paul Revere and the Raider's Spirit in the Sky mixed in what has to be the most rocking version I've heard!
very beautiful vocal, production. Very sweet sound!
Nice work!
beautiful!
this is really good!
man you sound like Gilmore on this! Voice and guitar!
Ha!
nice that you are doing it all - you've grown alot in musicianship over the years!

There is something very vital here. I really like it.
