Quality b , in fact it’s coming up like a bonfire

Lovely song man. Full of emotion. Super delivery ✌🏻🎶

I'm sure there is a btter way to say this, Carl, but you make music that "counts". Always the ring of truth, the sound of heart and soul, in word, voice, instruments, arrangement and production.  When it counts a receptive listener know within seconds. That matters to me more than any other thing an artist (and yes, I call you that) can present. That's one reaso I keep coming back. The ring of truth.

brilliant, mate. blessed to be working with you and Shane. love our little project. and yours, alone, are just lovely and wonderful. it's been great hearing you come into your own. :)

for me, you have travelled to the next level with the last lot of songs/recordings. music and vocals a cohesive audio to move the listener. wonderful geetar parts, the plucky picky bass line, supportive keys and fab vocal.

I love  the  clear gritty vocals, that have  such gravitas and presences . The music and chorus makes the vocals come to life.  Awesome Song!

Wonderful production‼️ Voice is great‼️

This is outstanding  I really like the minimalist production and your lyrics are fantastic :)

Thoroughly enjoyed this!!!  Bravo, amigo!!!  Well done!!!

'babe...'

(1-2-3-2-1) 

Babe, is my love in vain?
This loss of trust with you has made me rather quite insane.
Say what you need to say.
Get it off your chest, and lay to rest all of your blame. 

Some sorta solution needs to be figured out.
Otherwise resolution is without beyond doubt.
I'll do whatever it takes just to figure out
whatever's going on and causing us this drought.
Maybe you're right and I am nothing but a grouch.
Or, maybe, I am, and you just need to shut your mouth.
Maybe we're both to blame and should just carry out
our lives that remain and hang upon the couch. 

Babe, why can't we be
happy, understand we'll disagree and soon make peace?
Yet we always want to leave.
Turn our backs upon our love during difficulties.

babe...

SONG NOTES:
This song reflects my growing awareness of the incomprehensible nature of a star in the sky, which has captivated the imagination of humanity since the dawn of time. All that amazing energy, captured in a little word of just three letters, the sun. 
LYRICS:
Such a little word “the sun”
With all its mystery 
Yet, without the sun my friend
Where oh where would we be?

With colours that glisten and dance all around
As far as the eye can see 
Without the sun tell me my friend
Where oh where would we be 

For who can say how it does what it does 
Painting the sky so blue
As pretty a picture as I’ve ever seen
Oh the things the sun can do

The years come and go like the ocean tide
But is time ever what it seems?
Without the sun, tell me my friend
Where oh where would we be?

Chorus

A Little Word

lyrics

You feel that itch 
I know you do
I can feel it too
We should be talking in the sun
Not in the night when things are dark

You feel that itch I know you do
Darling, I want to be next to you
Like the way it was when we were young and free

Don't worry 
Don't worry bout me
Don't worry 
Don't worry bout me
Cuz I worry bout you
Yes I do
You know I do

I see the looks they give me
The pity 
but i know it's true
They don't need to worry bout me
They should worry bout you
Worry bout you
They should worry bout you

They should worry bout you
Worry bout you
They should worry bout you

Worry Bout You

Rock with a Tarzan-like battle cry!  Thank you for listening!

I am delighted to be doing another collab with Glen, and much Joy that he shared my love of this soulful Van Morrison song, and created such magical instrumentation!
Many thanks Mr R.M for this beauty!!

INTO THE MYSTIC  With Glen Granthem  (Van Morrison)

An insignificant song that aims only to illustrate something anecdotal. It doesn't elevate anything it says to any particular level. It barely corresponds to a mood, that of an arrogant, slightly ironic, nostalgic, and bitterly tender loser.

Don't let her drink any more wine

A Country and Western version of a song i wrote a while ago. A funny sort of a song with a lovely story :-) Some people may be able to associate with the sentiment in this song . 
Hope you liker it.

What you leave behind

Just an ordinary bloke who writes the odd song now and then
