TEAR MYSELF AWAY…

We released our first (and last) Album in 2019. Since then we have been working on a lot of songs, and some are online here and or on Applemusic, Spotify etc. Next year we will have our second album finished and we look really forward to it. Here is one song from the upcoming album: Don't wait for me! Enjoy and let us know what you think!

Have you been waiting for your calling again?
Well, I just like to waste my days
So please let me wake up in vain again
Just wanna be there in the race

And there are billboards full of answers
And who am I to disagree
Words of wisdom all around us, my friend
For anyone to see

Let me figure out the day
Let me figure out the week
Let me stop and have a moment
Let me stop and let me breath

Don't you wait for me
I'll be on my way
Don't you wait for me
I'll be good you see

I've ben waiting for your call again
And I can wait a million days
I can surely wait one more day in vain again
Just wanna be there in the race 

And there are billboards full of answers
And who are we to disagree
Words of wisdom all around us, my friend
For anyone but me

Let me figure out the day
Let me figure out the week
Let me stop and have a moment
Let me stop and let me breath

Don't you wait for me
I'll be on my way
Don't you wait for me
I'll be fine

Don't Wait For Me

Another  early original  song from from the sixties. Originally played finger style and in the folk idiom. Maybe the tempo was a little slower. I am however trying to recreate the song as written even though with a different style of backing

Silent Lady (guitar demo)

~someone to someone~


You're on my mind every second of the day.
Could it mean, you and I are meant to stay?
I'll hold you in my arms and never let you go.
Somehow, my heart seems to know.

It's getting dark, too dark to see.
The sunlight ran out on me.
If it rains outside, I'll be your dry place.
Excuse me ... I've got anxieties.

I used to be somebody.
I used to be someone to someone. 
It's cold outside, I know there's a warmer place.
I just called to say ... I'm sorry.

It's been awhile since I've seen your face.
Maybe someday I'll find a way...
To hold you in my arms and never let you go.
Crazy how you have grown.

I know these are dumb things I need to say.
Deep inside, I feel this way.
It's cold outside but I know of a warmer place.
Some things never go my way.

I used to be somebody.
I used to be someone to someone.

I used to be somebody.
I used to be someone to someone.

 


someone to Someone

Hey man, I feel the blues a-comin' on.
Back to my back catalogue, this one written in 1975. I cannot remember what specifically moved me to write this but one of my favourite albums at the time was a Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee compilation. Hope it grabs ya!

Round Midnight (Radio Edit)

Lonley

I have just completed recording a session of three more of my older songs. This time completely acoustic recording, no amp or pedals. A hint of reverb added post recording and mastered with the Sound Cloud app.
This song written in the sixties, one of my early favourites, has some unexpected chord sequences which I really liked. e.g. the last line of each verse has chords F Bb G G7 C. the Bb used is a triad using the G-open shape on the top 3 strings.

Sing Me A Simple Song - ukulele demo

The third of the current recordind session. A little unappy with this one but including it here as an impression of what it sounded like when written back in the sixties. I may decide to add some "sparkle" to the vocal, but for now it is what it is. "Not everyone is a winner everytime" and this is a little like a personal  history for me.

In The Jungle Of My Mind- ukulele demo

'1977 - This one has some Reel to Reel Magic    
I knew it was a short song 
I could see I was near the end of the reel  
But I had just writen 'positive positive'
So naturally I thought... I got this... 
By midway, I was lost in it 
And not worried about the tape running out  
By the end I'm confident... and then, wrong
and rarely has 'wrong' turned out to be so right  

DOUBTER

Here’s a welcome to the world of indecision
Or are you passing through?
When I dreamed you I was under the assumption
It was never coming true
Maybe I’ll be better off
For all the tears I cried 
If I don’t fall in love so hard this time 

God help me I don’t mean to be a Doubter
Doubter ain’t no fun
I just can’t help it when I have to live without her
And our sweet love is on the run
Maybe I’ll be better off
For all the tears I cried 
If I don’t fall in love so hard this time 

God help me I don’t mean to be a Doubter
Doubter ain’t no fun
I just can’t help it when I have to live without her
And our sweet love is on the run
Maybe I’ll be better off
For all the tears I cried 
If I don’t fall in love so hard this time

An amateur singer/song writer; in it for the fun and satisfaction. Enjoying rediscovering old recordings and sharing new original songs with friends and anyone who would like to join me on the adventure.

The songs and playlists/albums hold an eclectic mix of original material and covers; I have also recovered various analog recordings and sequenced tracks. I sing because I enjoy it and make no claims to any musical performance skills, you are warned....
