Winter (four Years On)

Small Talk

1987......interesting....like the feel to this one!

Man Without A Heart

Written for a friend going through a tough time....1987

Husband To None

I Could Have Died

Song from 1988 written for a dance show.....and she did call me Butterfly!

Butterfly

Probably the darkest song I've written in response to various news items of the time all about children (hence the title)....Colombian street kids being rounded up and shot, young teenagers being used as hitmen for the Mafia because they couldn't be prosecuted, the war in Bosnia killing the young and the Jamie Bulger case. Sadly with child suicide bombers with explosives in their rucksacks and the situation with refugees and war min Syria little has changed since the early 1990s. The quality of the recording is not great and one of the last songs I recorded on my Teac 4-track although I like the guitar-work and organ and  the sentiments behind the lyrics. Please listen! Hope like it! 

Boys And Girls Come Out To Play (2)

Back to 1978 for this one....like the voices and the harmonies...interesting structure to the song too...hope you like it

Living Is Lonely

1988 song for a dance show.....re-mastered from the original by Scott O'Raw using digital loops and synths....very 80s! Like the feel of this and the instrumentation is also interesting!

Time Steps

!
1988 demo with a political spin....it's all about betrayal in relationships and world politics

Betrayal Of Trust

(Takes a few seconds to kick in...)1977 instrumental written at my parents' house looking out on a snowscene on a dark winter's evening and this melody appeared ......all guitars multi-tracked....this is my Christmas song for you......Happy Christmas and thanks for listening!

Winters Evening
