Had to hear this one again, esp. because of the guitars, love that sound.  Reminded of a Carolina duo I like called Watchglass.

what a fine recording of a mighty enviable picking style :) Big vocal presence, with a gentle unintrusive BV, delivering an interstng  lyrical muse!

Such professional guitar picking, the whole song is superb.

beautiful playing,  drew me in immediately, lovely vocal and a really sweet song.

Lamentation

I have a great attraction
To all the ones
Who don’t have one distraction
From what they want

I can’t fault what you’re doing
I wish I could
If I get lost pursuing
Just carry on 

Every step that is taken
We take alone  
In search of what we’re craving 
A thing unknown

I don’t think something’s missing
In all the ones
Who through their indecision
Get left behind

I’ve got such admiration
For all the ones
Who know no deviation
From all their plans

And where there’s satisfaction
In your way
Of living in the action
It’s not my way

A great attraction

Lyrics:

I'm sorry for all the boxes
we have to carry out now
we have to fill with the past
we erase the traces 
and lay new ones 
in far away places
would you like to keep this?
or shall we throw it away 
like we did before

I can't wait 
for the dawn
of the new day

I feel sorry for all the boxes
that are now closed and carried out
driving fast out of this space
No more possiblity
to change our mind
to change and turn around
the road goes steeply down
because all promises no longer
mean anything, mean anything 

If you ask how I'm 
I would say I'm ok
if you ask how I'm 
I would say I'm ok

A Trace To Keep Control

DECIDED TO TAKE
THE SCENIC ROUTE			
TO THE MOUNTAINS			
 IN TENNESSEE			
			
WOULD BE			
TWO HOURS LONGER			
BUT A BEAUTIFUL DRIVE			
YOU SEE			
			
ENJOYING THE DRIVE			
COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE			
ABANDONED BUILDINGS			
NO LONGER ALIVE			
			
(CHORUS)			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
NO LONGER ALIVE			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
JUST A MEMORY			
SHADES OF THE PAST			
THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE			
			
SOME PEOPLE FEEL			
THEY'RE SHADES OF THE PAST			
NO LONGER IMPORTANT			
THEY'VE LOST THEIR ZEAL			
			
DON'T LET FATHER TIME			
CONTROLL YOUR LIFE			
THEY ARE MOUNTAINS			
YET TO CLIMB			
			
THE SEASONS COME			
THE SEASONS GO			
STRIVE FOR THE BEST			
WHILE HERE BELOW			
			
(REPEAT CHORUS)			
			
(BRIDGE)			
ABANDONED BUILDINGS			
TELL A LIFE STORY			
WHAT STORY WILL YOUR LIFE TELL			
			
(REPEAT CHORUS -  OPTIONAL)

JEANNE

Auriez -vous croisé 
Jeanne choisissant des souliers
Sans trouver 
Chaussure à son pied ?

Vous êtes-vous alangui
 Sur son joli balcon
Qui cache une araignée
 Au plafond 

Moi, J'suis le gars qui passe
Quoi qu'il fasse
On  ne le remarque pas
Une  transparence tenace
Qui colle à sa peau et  à ses pas


Quelle que soit la saison,
Jeanne n'a pas froid aux yeux
Elle réchauffe
Le cœur des ombrageux

Ses doigts de fée
Affolent et flattent tous ses amis
Qui s'enfuient
Dès que le soleil luit 

Mais moi, J'suis le gars qui passe
Celui qui regarde
Ne s'prononce  pas
Une  transparence tenace
Qui colle à sa peau et  à ses pas

Jeanne (new edit)

Forget how to hate

I'm putting up new original material on my Spotify channel https://open.spotify.com/artist/2PtcG937rHfQWJwv0Zi4um?si=t1ppLngORgmuqz9qeoDOzw 
Mostly original tracks, a few covers here and there. Thank you for even getting this far. Thoughts, opinions, suggestions all welcome. It's pretty lonely out here toiling over every sound wave and grubby plugin. Any feedback is appreciated and if you've got a track you want me to hear send it over - what comes around goes around etc. A huge shout out to Len Rice for all his production suggestions on this and other tracks of mine - a true expert, check him out https://soundcloud.com/lenrice
One day I hope to get some collaborations going and a far off dream is to re awaken all these tracks in a live environment with a live band and maybe even a live audience. For now the dream keeps me going. Thanks for listening.

I'm trying to use as much real instrumentation as possible: a Taylor and a Norman acoustic guitars, a Fender Strat Roadhouse that goes out of tune if I even look at it, a cheap Vintage mandolin that hurts to play and listen to, an 80 year old zither banjo that screams 'I was never destined for this' and a borrowed Aria Pro II bass that a friend can never be bothered to take home on the bus. Synths are a plasticky Roland FA06 and a fun but dumb Korg minilogue. Throw in some Native Instruments software primarily for smoochy piano and strings, a £15 melodica full of tramp spit, some harps in impossible tunings, and a box of percussion and assorted prehistoric flints (are you really still reading this??). 

All recorded on Logic Pro X on an ancient iMac that is going to explode any minute and take my entire oeuvre with it. And most likely burn the house down.

A great attraction
