I Believe In Angels

THis is song is kind of a teenage pouty angst song about a relationship gone bad. For the musicians out there, there are no chords until the bridge...

Fly Away Mix 9 - 2-19

Do you feel overwhelmed by the news these days?
I do.
I need to hear positive messages sometimes to counteract all the negativity. 
Here's a song inspired by Greta Thunberg!

More Than A Crush

Here's a new song called the Marriage of Crabs. It's a weird one I wrote in 2002. It's always been fun to perform live and I'm glad it's got legs now. Thanks for listening! - Alex

The Marriage Of Crabs

Scared was inspired by the anxiety of living under Covid 19. Also The Rolling Stones mid 70s albums. I don’t know if their music comes through but that was on my mind. It's a fictional take on reality, or a realistic fabrication of inner angst. If you're listening to this in the future, there was a pandemic in 2020. We all had to wear masks and stay inside.

Scared

Happy Everyday was written a couple years ago when I was studying melody with Jai Josefs. I’d played it live and it was always more uptempo, but working out an arrangement? That was new! During the recording/arranging process I’ve been trying to go with first or second takes of the parts. It’s easy for me to be a perfectionist so I’ve decided not to trip out on these things as much. (I know these homemade recordings aren’t professional grade, broadcast quality, but that’s where I’m at right now.) Being stuck at home inspired Taylor to set up his Taylor’s Garage studio and his drumming and percussion are as great as ever. This mix of Happy Everyday was his baby. I think it came out pretty good!

lyrics
I CAN GET BY WITHOUT YOU
Rothenberg/Walsh

Rolling hills and a big blue sky
You and me in a lullaby
Fast asleep as the daylight dies
I go back in a dream and forgive every thought of you
I can get by without you

Buttercup and a butterfly
You and me as we say goodbye
Another day and I think I'll try
To go back in the past and forget every thought of you
I can get by without you

Forgive me if I hurt you
Forget that I ever let you down

Don't ask when and don't ask why
You and me and I could not cry
Promises of a life gone by
I go back on my word and remember the thought of you
I can get by without you

I go back on my word and remember the thought of you
I go back on my word and remember the thought of you
I go back on my word and remember the thought of you
I go back on my word and remember the thought of you

GOLDEN ROCK GIRL
Rothenberg / Walsh

Golden Rock Girl
Golden Rock Girl
Cracked up in an orbit of Arabian Nights
Well you think it's all over but you turn it around
and get it right

Golden Rock Girl
Golden Rock Girl
Faking all your lines at the interview
Well you say it ain't nothin but you turn it around
When I look at you

She said yeah yeah yeah
I fly across the sun
I can talk about illusion I can check you out

Golden Rock Girl
Golden Rock Girl
Golden Rock Girl I believe in you
Well you say it ain't nothing but you turn it around
and say it's nothing new

She said yeah yeah yeah
I fly across the sun
I can talk about illusion I can check you out

Golden Rock Girl
Golden Rock Girl
Golden Rock Girl I believe in you...

Drifting Apart (2020)

Nothing Can Stand In Our Way

Storied singer-songwriter Alex Walsh has been a musical mainstay in the Bay Area for over 3 decades, both as a solo artist and a band member. Going to gigs during San Francisco’s Summer Of Love and immersing himself in the sounds of the south during a stint in Mississippi before he’d even finished high school, a career in music felt like a natural progression. Finally, after a year as a regular attendee of the SF open mic circuit, Alex decided to take the plunge and pursue his passion full-time, and the rest was history. 

Synthesizing influences from The Beatles and Bob Dylan to Velvet Underground and R.E.M. into a unique blend of folk rock and indie pop, Alex has captivated millions through over 10 records and 20 singles to date — collaborating with Grammy-winning engineers, getting signed to music libraries, and attracting the attention of publishers and curators along the way. Equally as electric on the live front, Alex has graced the stage at local institutions and sung truth to power at 20,000 person protests on the steps of the Capitol, inspiring audience participation with his tenacious yet warm and witty delivery wherever he is. 

With momentum at an all-time high, Alex is keeping his nose firmly to the grindstone, working with mixing maestro Matt Boudreau of Working Class Audio podcast fame on his next EP while preparing for his upcoming gigs on the California coast — an exciting time indeed for his growing and diverse global fanbase.

 

“Alex Walsh makes music the old fashioned way–warm and witty and straight from the heart.” — Joel Selvin, San Francisco Chronicle 

“Tenacity is a virtue, and so is imagination. Singer-songwriter Alex Walsh has both qualities in spades.”  — Rachel Swan, East Bay Express
