Billy Brown, The Housewives' Favourite, The Moaning Show. On Your Favourite Station , Sep 19th 2021

This is Pretty In Pink, the Psychedelic Furs song which I've done a cover of and just recorded today.

Pretty In Pink - Output - Stereo Out

I just found this old Demo from my old Band, Friends of Gavin, which this song features the great Tessa Niles (of so many famous Artists fame such as Bowie for starters)on Backing Vocals.

This is taken from a cassette and it's pretty old too...from the 80's

Digging for Diamonds

A track that aims to take you on a journey through reflection and nostalgia to the present with a crescendo of brass and chorus line. Lots of interesting sonics that you wouldnt usually tie with its country vibe adding a bit of motown and a Brittish indie vibe throughout.     

Sticks And Stones

Fireworks

Just wrote this and it's a very very rough Laptop recording as always before I decide what to do with it..hope you like it

Don't You Know

A selection of tracks combining an acoustic style with a touch of melancholy. Gives a feeling of remembering whilst lifting the spirits of the listener.

Late Night Memories

This track was written to show how easy it is to believe everyone's 'stories' and think they are having a great life, whilst you are the only one who is online pretending! Hopefully the message is to 'keep your head up' and believe in yourself.
Lyrics

Here alone scrolling down my phone again, it's 2 am
It's all so good for them, clear blue skies and fancy things
I'm sitting there pressing like on air

Feeling like the only one who's even on here, liking posts not living moments
Living through an empty screen
Faking smiles and snapping pictures, when the cameras down your feeling different

You should know your not alone
So keep your head up!

Stories told through a filter on your phone, it's them
It's now 3 am
And if it dies then it's all over, sad to think that you get colder
Does anyone even care
The only way that you'll feel better, is faking smiles and snapping pictures

You should know your not alone
So keep your head up!

Feeling like the only one who's even on here
Liking posts not living moments
Living through an empty screen
Faking smiles and snapping pictures
When the cameras down your feeling different

You should know your not alone
So keep your head up!

Real Or Fake

Hop it, Santa!
The Ramones the Damned the Dead Boys
The Pistols and the Clash
Now we're getting ready for an old school Christmas bash!

Been missing you for a long time
But one day you just had to go
You fell in love with a girl from a travelling show

You left us all your records
And while you were away
We listened to the songs that you always used to play

Ramones the Damned the Dead Boys
The Pistols and the Clash

Now we're getting ready for an old school Christmas bash!

All I want is a punk rock Christmas,
All I want is a message from you,
You may not be here
But we'll always remember you!

Haven't seen you for such a long time
And we hope you are OK
And we hope you come by for Christmas if you're down our way

This year has been such a long year
And it's time to have some fun
So we're gonna have a party and we turn the radio on

We're gonna bring back those good times,
Before Lydon did butter ads
When Rotten was still rotten and Bill Idol was still a cat!

All I want is a punk rock Christmas,
All I want is a message from you,
You may not be here
But we'll always remember you!

Punk Rock Christmas

Billy Brown is an Acoustic Singer Songwriter, who writes from the heart and soul about love and life from his own perspective.

Billy used to be in a band called Friends of Gavin, as the Singer Songwriter and Guitarist, who supported the likes of REM, The Alarm, BoomTown Rats, amongst many others in the 80's.

He also teamed up with Jimmy Brown in the 90's  (no relation) of Orchestra JB, and co wrote Come Alive and played harmonica on 3 tracks of his album tambourine fever, and co wrote another track on the album, and also did backing vocals and harmonica on other tracks. That song did extremely well in the club scene all over Europe and the UK and got to number 12 in the National Dance Charts

In Nov/Dec 2013, Billy was asked to release his version of the Reggae classic Police & Thieves for Specaialized Beat Teenage Cancer in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust after performing it live on Wolfman Radio and subsequently organised a gig with two other bands and 2 DJ's from Wolfman Radio in Jan 20124 to raise more money for the cause. He has since been asked to appear on the Mad not Cancer album whereupon he will cover one of the Madness songs, Blue Skinned Beast, with his own take on it. Both the full Reggae and Acoustic versions of Police & Thieves can be bought on CD Baby, Amazon and Itunes and other download sites, and every single penny goes to Teenage Cancer Trust.

Now writing and recording again after a long break. Go to www.billybrownsongs.com or https://www.facebook.com/BillyBrownSongs for daily updates.
