A fragile beauty. Very, very nice, Chris.

What a delight. Simple and delicate, yet has such a perfect weight. Just great.

Nice mellow tune, love the sound of your guitars!

@user-562815797: Thank you. Much appreciated.

Your work has a real nice edge, a fine piece!

This IS a Wonder, love the 'Donovanesque' vocal.

Title track from "Wave Theory"...my favourite

Wave Theory

A retrospective of something profound to me, which should have led to a different outcome.

Catching your smiles catch me by surprise I just don't realize the moment
Grew on me like a glass of unripe wine I never felt it at the time
Holding hands and filling space between us with our breath and recent memories
Nothing can replace the time we dared to face the oceanfront sunshine

Misty queen of the rural ghetto
After all you seem better left to settle
And all you ever did see was left back on the road
I will always love you, even if they don't

Touching all the walls and watch you counting all the dogs in old Metropol
Kiss you on the steps without a care in all the world as time flies by
Distance seems to work for me, the place where we first met is too judgemental
Whenever we can get away the passion that we had returns to try

Misty queen of the rural ghetto
After all you seem better left to settle
And all you ever did see was left back on the road
I will always love you, even if they don't

I witness how the months go by without a bunch of simple conversations
I wonder if I tried a bit if you could try and cry just one more time

Misty Queen - Crisp Bellemono

This is my first collab and it's with Anne Lee. I love her voice.

I wrote this song to describe the catharsis that comes from the sense of total loss in this world, during a time that I would consider a very low point in my life. The strong negative feelings I once felt, the mantra needed to get through the hours when nothing was distracting enough to cope. "The person that broke me can't possibly fix me it's more than we both can afford".

Waltz Of Regret - Crisp Bellemono f. Anne Lee

Warm Friday nights in North Sydney, NS enjoying the personified world around me. 

Wonders

Gravitate to the corner of the parking lot and the wrappers and leaves follow
The wind blows there and I often wonder if it takes me there when I'm feeling so low.
Sometimes I choose to embrace the regular foray
Other times it takes great change to make it all OK
Never thought I'd feel this way
Seamless stop between the cracks in the asphalt an and the sidewalks that I roam on
Fast food franchise long forgotten life among the night time snacks and croutons
Sometimes it feels out of place and I will just crumble
Other times I feel too welcome and so humble
Never thought I'd feel this way
I survive to see life's little wonders
It makes up for all my little blunders
Never thought I'd feel this way

Really not a fighter, in the last bar room fight I grabbed my beer and joined the sidelines. That said, the Titans of power do need reigning in.  Call me a dam commie pinko but surely we can’t let them have everything!

Tomorrow we will fight them
We will have our say
We’ll square up to them bastards
And they will rue the day  

How dare those bloody Titans
Camped outside our gates
Tomorrow we fight them all   
Today it is just too late

So bang those shields, bang those shields
It’s time to put things right
We’ll look them squarely in the eye
And take them at first light

The libertines don’t have our backs
They are only out to tease
They’ve hook up with all that mischief 
Coming from the East

The occident is nervous
We’ve seen it all before
Dancing to their master’s voice
They’ll soon be on our shores

So bang those shields, bang those shields
It’s time that they take fright        
We’ll look them squarely in the eye
And take them at first light

Solo 

So bang those shields, bang those shields
It’s time to put things right
We’ll look them squarely in the eye
And take them at first light

Bang Those Shields

People's negative impressions can drape over you, especially when they come from someone who has been important to you. It can be beneficial to look at these impressions as schoolyard names that once slid off of you, and find a way to laugh them away as nothing more than something that interrupted a game of tag with those that know you best. They're wrong.

They're Wrong

They're Wrong - Crisp Bellemono

i remember when we were all together and i remember when we made a smashing team 
i remember the simple times we sat around and made music and everything was ok

now i'm missing you........

Missing You

St. Grievance Day

I’ll write a happy song for you
that won’t make you blue
Won’t mention of how your Pa hates me
or how your older brother threatens me 
every chance he gets

Hardest thing we’ll ever know
Is you and me, me and you
and how far we have fallen

Happy St. Grievance Day

If I was gonna leave I would have left you by now
you’re a liar and a cheat in the sheets
But I made a promise to your Ma’s Ma 
before she died
before the ghosts played one to many tricks 
with her morphine mind

Hardest thing we’ll ever know
Is you and me, me and you
and how far we have fallen

Happy St. Grievance Day


There’ll be no mention of wars 
in far away places
Nor of any chickens coming home to roost
for those that only lay waste
So turn off the Net
and open a real window instead 
To the sound of the machines we have made
drowning out everything

Hardest thing we’ll ever know
Is you and me, me and you
and how far we have fallen

Happy St. Grievance Day

St. Grievance Day

I closed my eyes. 
You lead me by the hand.. 
Right here...

I'm with You Ps.

I moved to the east coast eight years ago and experienced the most pivotal years of my life. There is something about this rugged, unforgiving place and direct and honest culture that leaves a person feeling exposed. I like to think of my music as simple and from a place of vulnerability and courage. Thank you for taking the time to listen and stay in touch.
