Awesome song.  Love the chorus and very good vocals.

Very nice! such a sweet, simple song. Good work!

Terre sous tension

Cyclone

A dark blue / punkabilly song about consequences and going past the point of no return. Features tremolo guitar. If you like the lyrics, get in touch:

Boom gates on the railway tracks 
Too late to be turning back
See the driver with her eyes wide
See the letters neon bright 

Saying
Bluestone Express
[repeat]

Train drivers catching flashbacks 
Shut your mouth or get the sack
Bottle it up and hide the bottle 
Bottle it up and hit the throttle 

Singing 
Bluestone Express 
[repeat]

Carriage three and out of nicotine 
Rambling breathless words obscene 
Fifty three is far too young 
Hidden shadows on her lungs 

For the
Bluestone Express [repeat]

Police hold the train at the station 
Boy stashes his medication
Boy’s not gunna make the drop
Boss says it was his last shot

On the 
Bluestone Express 
[repeat]

Bluestone express

A circle song for the break-up, make-up, break-up loop. Acoustic guitar based. Kissing tears leads to a salty embrace … which always ends in tears. Full lyrics below. Get in touch if you are interested in licensing any lyrics:

You hold my hand I stroke your hair
You hold my hand I stroke your hair
The sun rays play with dust in the air
You hold my hand I stroke your hair

We sit on my bed in the pale afternoon
We sit on my bed in my bedroom
I know you’ll be leaving me, leaving me soon
I know you’ll be leaving me, leaving me soon

You kiss the tears as they roll down my face
Kissing tears turns into salty embrace
Salty embrace always ends in tears
Tears just lead to kisses on the face

I touch your back as you turn away
I help you pack and ask you to stay
You won’t be back and won’t be swayed
I watch your back as you walk away

All old promises of youth
All hold faith with the truth
All told honest and naive
All so you wouldn’t leave

You kiss the tears as they roll down my face
Kissing tears turns into salty embrace
Salty embrace always ends in tears
Tears just lead to kisses on the face

Kissing Tears

NON VORREI

Sigarette spente nel letto
La notte è andata già via
Qualche goccia sul vetro del treno
verso un'altra città
Non vorrei, non vorrei, non vorrei forse dovrei...
Chissà quali pensieri al tuo risveglio avrai

Ho venduto montagne di panna chiamate illusioni
sfoggiando il vestito più adatto a una cravatta di cuoio
Per colmare la solitudine, farti ridere
Dovrò fare i conti allo specchio con i mostri miei

Fermare il gioco d'ingannare
Provare ad amare
Lei che mi vuol con se
Forse non ho capito che
Chi ama non cerca me

Basta col gioco d'ingannare
con la valigia pronta 
per il prossimo hotel
Dovrei aver capito che
chi ama non cerca me

Una notte di vento e tristezza
ha nascosto pure la luna
io non amo per troppa paura

Non Vorrei

A straight ahead indie/alt rock song. 2 guitars, bass and drums. I was listening to Toe (love them btw) and heard some interesting song structures. So it inspired me to create this song in which the acoustic guitar figures are the glue that holds the song together allowing the electric guitar, bass, and drums to be free and loose over the top of the core created by the acoustic guitar.  Traditionally the bass/drum rhythm section is the anchor, but this idea turns it upside down or maybe inside out. I laid down the acoustic guitar figures to a metronome tempo, Then just tracked the other instruments free and loose and fast and without a lot of messing around, drums, electric guitar, bass in that order.  Just cranked the guitar/bass amp and got a cool drive-y rock sound that I dig, just on the edge of really rattling the cabinet.  All analogue instruments, and amps mic'ed up with dynamic mics, except for Seagull acoustic guitar which just went through a little dbx tube pre-amp (just to warm it up a bit) then straight into the daw through a focusrite scarlett.  Let me know what you think of this master. Its not super easy to get transparency with all that analogue drive, but I think I'm close here.
