Originally written and recorded in 2006 (or maybe earlier than that?), I had previously uploaded a recording that was backed by midi, and was really starting to age. This recording is October 2023 and is slightly faster than the original, with enhanced vocal and instrument arrangements.

I've been a guitarist since the age of 15 and writing songs since then, albeit more prolifically since 2000. I prefer strong melodies and to borrow chords to move outside of the diatonic. Usually, the song mix contains my vocals, guitars and sometimes bass, with drums, keys and other instruments auto-generated. The tracks uploaded in my Soundcloud are attempts to 'illustrate' the idea and sound I imagined when writing the songs. At best, the quality of recordings are demo quality. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!
