About two weeks ago, I finally got to play through Final Fantasy IX! All of the music was quite memorable, but my instant favorite was when walking into the icy temple in Esto Gaza. It's a very short piece in 3/4 with an amazing progression and melody. As soon as I passed the game, I got to work on this arrangement. 

Hope you guys enjoy it! Your support is very very much appreciated.

LOVE WILL SPEAK
Lyric and Music by Pete Strayer

I stilled myself as the evening light was fading,
Grabbed a pen and quieted my mind.
Then an angel friend whispered through my praying,
"Everything will work out in the end."
She kept saying...

"Love will speak when child's ears are listening.
Love will hear a song played from the heart.
Love will heal the sorrows we've been kissing,
And be 'all in all'."

They floated down - like flowers from the heavens,
"All that is, is moving right on time."
And, "the souls we'll keep when breath has finally ended
Will show us sights where once we were so blind."
I keep learning...

"Love will speak when child's ears are listening.
Love will hear a song played from the heart.
Love will heal the sorrows we've been kissing,
And be 'all in all'."

Love Will Speak

Old Fashioned Pop Song

A song I wrote a couple of years ago but given a new lease of life by one of my favourite singers on SoundCloud, Nigel Sanigar  http://soundcloud.com/sanigar,  who sings it far better than I ever could.

I was also delighted that the brilliant http://soundcloud.com/finn-slide-guitarist agreed to wield his mighty guitar over the track -  his first takes had me grinning from ear to ear!

You Said You Would

I’ve been playing guitar for three decades. Along the way I’ve played in bands, taught, and explored different corners of the music world. Today, I work as an independent musician creating original tracks, while balancing a parallel career in game development. It’s a blend of riffs, code, and creativity that keeps everything moving forward.
