wow this is a cracker, Claire! fantastic use of fx and a lusciously dark & creepy vibe! love it!!

Great vibe love the sounds ..They should make more prisons like Alcatraz

Fantastic creative work. You have captured the essence of Alcatraz beautifully. It's a real treat because you transmit tension and anguish in the track. The end of the track with the closing of the fence is great.

Yes you have brought Alcatraz into life with this haunting piece Claire. Well done.

I wish I had some one
That 
 is
Always there to listen
Someone that would tell me
That I’m funny

solo

If I had a girl friend that
Would do anything 
to make me happy
She would cheer for me at my games

solo (darker)

We could bake some brownies
We could shoot some hoops
We could survive this craziness together

Megaphone: 
All humans have the same rights
Have a nice Day
Be kind to every one

Bridge (dreamy)

We could ride our bikes to the mall
Dress Bold
Proudly
Hold Hands
Lead our squad
To show the planet how to
To be Alive

Megaphone: 
Machines to carry the heavy stuff
Machines to drive the kids
Machines to clean the buildings
Machines that fight the wars

My DAD
drops me off in his vintage Corvette
He tells me I need to develop a killer drive
(rolls eyes) 
I just want to be alive
And 
Have a girl friend

A simple tribute to the four seasons of the year, reminding us of their wonderful aspects, such as the sound of fallen leaves or birdsongs, but also storms and terrible forest fires.

Alpaca Pal Of Mine

I was lucky enough to visit California late December/early January and part of trip included a visit to Alcatraz Island. After visiting have had the heebie-jeebies ever since (this track will not help that ha!). I wanted to create a track that reflected what it is like for a person being trapped inside prison slowly losing their mind. This track is created predominantly from sound effects which is a first for me as is the style of music as my music generally seems to normally be more calm in nature! Hope you enjoy my short track experiment,  the full Alcatraz experience!

Guitar drop D tuning, capo on 4th fret, mandolin tuned down one note, F C G D makes it easier to do melodies in key of F.

Singing Strings

March of the Bumblebees

I let go of all my prejudices on how I would make a song and what I can sing about. With the risk of being an old guy longing for youth I give You this unfiltered song. A punkish electrobeat.

A bad choice on the international women's day. I salute the women so there's no argument here...

Deep Inside

My latest solo write pro demo with session vocals, a pacy folk-pop number. Copyright 2024 Jay Rich. Lyrics below:

                    Unrequited     

V1:

I see you moping around
Well haul yourself off the ground
I hate to see you in a state
But don't go making no vows
That wouldn't work anyhow
And you'll regret it far too late
You say you're waiting for me
But did I say I'd wait for you
And was I asking you to
I know that sounds so uncool
But I'd rather speak the truth
Because you're wasting your time
And you're way out of place
In my heart there's no space
And if there were, then I'm afraid
It wouldn't be for you

Ch1: 

You've got a case of lovesick blues
And I'm sorry to be giving you bad news
It's uninvited, unrequited
It's misgiven, and it's ultimately blighted
And if you think I'm cruel
Or I don't understand
Then let me tell you I do
Oh, let me tell you I do
'Cause I've been there too

*****Break*****

V2:

So dry the tears from your eyes
Try to find a better guy
Run a comb through your hair
Then go grab something to eat
You'll soon be back on your feet
Get a man with love to share
But don't go waiting for him
If he wouldn't wait for you
And don't assume he wants you to
I know that sounds hard advice
But it's best to think twice
'Cause in matters of the heart
It's all too easy to lose
And start falling apart
That's why I'm sorry for you
'Cause I've been there too

Ch2:

You've got a case of lovesick blues
And I'm sorry if it's sounding like old news
It's uninvited, unrequited
It's misgiven, and it's ultimately blighted
And if you find me cruel
Think I don't understand
Well I assure you I do
Yeah, I assure you I do
It's why I'm sorry for you
'Cause it cuts through deep
And it makes your heart weep
So I'm sorry for you
And all I'm putting you through
I'm truly sorry for you
'Cause I've been there too
Oh how I've been there too

Lunar Approach 2024

I'm a very busy self employed piano teacher and music workshop facilitator for people with learning disabilities. I have been lucky enough to do this since moving  up to beautiful Scotland in late 2016 which is now my home. I love my job but work long hours and have found composing to be a great way to relax and it's something I have wanted to do properly for such a long time!

I've now  been making music since the start of lockdown, it gave me the time I needed to properly pursue it as a hobby, I now try and do it when I can on days off but wish I could devote more time to it again! My music is mostly ambient/chillout with inspirations of world music, folk, dance and prog thrown in! I also love film music too...hope you enjoy listening.
