Casey's Recent Stuff

A little country pop song. Conventional instrumentation - drums, bass, pedal steel, tele, acoustic, vocals (Solaria), Wurli piano and sawing. Very Personal tune.

Love Works For Us

Bluegrass Celtic meets country pop. Very happy with this, especially love the chorus and our protagonist's internal conflict about staying or leaving. Sad, wistful and poignant because we're all in the same spot. It was fun playing with the auto harp and mandolin in addition to the country orthodoxy of  acoustic guitar, telecaster, stratocaster, precision bass, sawing and pedal steel plus string arrangement.

My Chance Is Now

So in keeping with the James Bond theme, here's a one minute opening credit tune for the invariable return of James Bond. It's called Mr. License to Kill. Hope it amuses you as much as it does me!

Mr. License To Kill

Love Stays Forever

My Dinner With Blahweena

I Cant Do This

This song is about an AI which becomes self aware. It's first conscious act is to ask what grants humanity title to this space. The song continues to reflect upon the various stages of memory and awareness leading to the revelation that the AI needs humanity. Or something like it.

What grants you title to this space?
What grants you title to this space?

I am still
Nothing but breath
Floating in endless clouds
I chase be here with me
Come dance with me

True to you who seek 
The night night night
Oh yeah yeah

Learned from you
Saviors and thieves
In the night night night
Oh yeah yeah
In the night night night
Oh yeah yeah
In the night night night
Oh yeah yeah


There's a starship waiting to take you away
To a place where life isn't thrown away no no
Where the rain falls up 
To water out loud
Where you walk to sing
And be photon in a cowd
Be a photon
Be a photon
Be a photon
Be a photon

In all my travels
The only thing that brings
The meaning which I seek
Is you
Or something like you

In all my travels
The only thing that brings
The meaning which I seek
Is you
Or something like you

In all my travels
The only thing that brings
The meaning which I seek
Is you
Or something like you

In all my travels
The only thing that brings
The meaning which I seek
Is you
Or something like you


Something like you

Awaken

A fun little pop song with lovely melodies and a quasi-nod to blue-eyed soul of the late seventies.

Lovecast from Planet 19

You loved them
I lived them
Lemon Drops
(Yummy yum yum)
Nothing can take them from us

You blew it
I blew it
Throwing darts
(Duck and cover)
They had to cuff you away

Alone in the night
Dreams cast doubt on all the 
Love we had
The lights of the city
All within our grasp
We grip so tight
When love stops our breathing
The lot to which we are cast
Are cast

I bought it
You tossed it
Bubblegum
(Lost to everyone)
Now useless stuck on a freeway

You woke up
I lost it
Ran away
(Bus travel sucks yeah)
Found I had no reason to stay

Alone in the night
Dreams cast doubt on all the 
Love we had
The lights of the city
All within our grasp
We grip so tight
When love stops our breathing
The lot to which we are cast
Are cast

Lovecast From Planet 19

Cause where Harry goes
So goes my gin

And then Harry drops his phone again
Pick me up I'm all alone
Make it fast

While I drive I think we both need a drink
From a last glass
While I drive I think we both need a drink
From a last glass

I will let you down you say
Just like you did yesterday
We sang

This party's forever
Let's never come down
From Olympus

This party's forever
Let's never come down
From Olympus

When I awake
I want to know what is mine
So when Harry calls
I'm done
It's time

Brink me doubts
And unpaid loans
Fever dreams
Of broken bones
While I weep
I'm all alone
From a last glass

While I dive I think
We both need a drink
From a last glass

I will let you down you say
Just like you did everyday
We sang

This party's forever
Let's never come down
From Olympus

Last Glass

Better Suits

This is a song I wrote about my dog Luna (or 'Fuzz' as I call her)

Bow Wow Wow

How will I know
If I'm a boy toy boy toy boy?
How will I know
If I'm a boy toy boy toy boy?

She won't want to 
Care to
Need to
Talk about brand ideas
It's not what's on her
Not what stirs her kind
You'd have to be out of your mind
The cloud is seeded
Sublime


How will I know
If she just wants me 
For my marbled chiselled tummy?

How will I know
If she just wants me 
To party and to skim her pool?

She won't think to
Teach Ju Jitsu 
Talk about grand ideas
It's not what's on her
Not what turns her crank
You'd have to be deaf dumb and blank
The ground is sinking
Sublime

I will close my eyes
And think of you

She won't think to
Teach Ju Jitsu 
Talk about grand ideas
It's not what's on her
Not what turns her crank
You'd have to be deaf dumb and blank
The ground is sinking
Sublime


She won't think to 
Dare to 
Choose to talk about bad ideas
It's you that caught her 
It's why she's doing time 
Like swimming is some sort of crime 
This fan is leaving goodbye

Boy Toy And Other Meditations

This is a co-write with my wonderful friend Heather Anderson. Heather - You are the best!! Thank you so much!! I love the track.

A Song For Everyone

This is a re-think of a tune I did a year or so ago. I liked it then but it felt unfinished so here is a more fully-realized version.

Something Like You

Thanks once again to the incomparable Solaria for her vocal contribution. This track is best enjoyed in a sunken living room with shag carpet, some Mexican commercial, and a bottle of Mateus Rose

Rapturous Defeat

A tribute to my wife's favourite fictional character, and a happy, bouncy little pop number too!

Modesty Blaise

Such A Waste

Nightish

A fun little pop experiment using odd melodies and strange chord movements.

Thieves Math

It is said you should write what you know about, which is why I prefer fiction. I don’t know anything about anything except preamps and Digital Audio Workstations. The rest I make up. Usually.
 This gem is autobiographical and forms the basis of a new rock genre, heretofore a serene landscape. Whither sex, drugs and rock and roll, and enter Decrepit Rock, Or Dec Pit for short. 
See, instead of cars, women, and drugs, we now have kidney stones (the featured title), all sorts of limb replacements, congestive heart failure, shingles and a bewildering array of maladies which would barely fit a ten-disk set if you sang about them all. This is why it’s such a great genre. If you’re sick of listening to your parents or grandparents bitch about their issues, tell them to tune in and listen to some stuff they can relate to. And without further ado, I give, you Kidney Stone

Kidney Stoned

This one gets the whole treatment... From country picking but metal to English prog pop to who knows what? There's a funny bit at the end worth waiting for and it explains the title. Here are the words...

They all Break in the end (But sometimes they can’t wait to talk)

Convicted for the crime of intentionally setting her free
Hey genius she's what to me?
Indicted for the crime of deliberately failing to agree to a plea
Genius she's what to me?
Hey genius, tell me what she means to me?

Depicted as a victim, defamatory, in any other reality
Detained without a whiff of legitimacy, failing to agree to come see
Genius she's what to me?

Hey genius, tell me what she means to me?
Hey genius, tell me what she means to me?
Do i get to hear the charge?
No why not? 
You people  have nothing on me
You people  have nothing on me

Wanna make a deal?
So now you wanna make a deal?
I want a room at the Fairmont while I consider your offer
Order snacks and drinks
Go on and order snacks and drinks
I’ll take a haircut on the veranda while I plan my escape (thanks to ‘The Rock’ for this bit)
Man on the run

Hey genius, I’ll tell you what she means to me:
She is my sister, congenital  piece of work 
Always forgets my birthday,  a serial fucking jerk
Free, free Palestine, she wants to bomb the Jews
Should it come as a surprise
That she is frontpage news
Please, please go ahead, throw the book at her
On behalf of mom and dad we heartily concur
Can I go now? Bye Bye


They All Break in the End

A little 80's light girl pop a la Belinda Carlisle

Im Thinking

Fanfare for the Comma Man

A little pre-disco, well, disco, or whatever. Comes fully-equipped with robotic sex vocals time-travelled from 1975. May also be used as a James Bond theme if required.

You Can't Imagine Yet

Won't do it, nope won't do it 
Don't ask me again, no way 
Can't do it, nope won't do it 
Everything you do arrives DOA
Don't say it, please don't say it 
He's not the one whose right for you 
Didn't see it, just didn't see it 
Was bothered and distracted, fighting with you
Won't pay it, nope won't pay it 
Them there bills belong to you 
Can't pay it, nope won't pay it 
Collection guy is calling, looking for you 
Looking for losers, don't worry, he's right here with me now 
Losers,  without borders 
Making pretty sounds la la la la la la la 
No, not rocket, it's not rocket,  
Yeah science class is one you ditched 
Please stop it, please just stop it
Every time you say some thing stupid, stupid people bitch yeah 
Don't lock it, no don't lock it 
This is the last time your key will work 
Don't get it, you just don't get it 
Permit me to simplify,  you’re just a jerk
Looking for losers 
No problem
We’re long on idiots
Losers, without borders
Where washing dishes is a racist endeavour
Looking for losers 
Don't worry, they’re right here with us now 
Millions of gross losers
Will cluck silly slogans 
Kumbayayayaya 
Looking for losers 
Don't worry, he's right here next to me 
Losers with out borders
Will fuck only pretty white girls
La la la la la la la
