Got some new music software, upgraded my mac and felt inspired to record something and this came out. A nice mellow piece. Enjoy

Heart Baby

Game of Thrones theme (excerpt, super reverby acoustic)

Two songs recorded at the Songs for Survivors charity evening, organised by Kevin Osman.

Audio was extracted from an iPhone movie, but has come out alright after a few tweaks. 

(Excuse the background noise and my voice still warming up to start with)

Hyperdrive & Lady Helen

I wrote this song some time ago, and I'm the only person who has properly listened to it. I enjoy it anyway, so here it is and to hell with the consequences.
 
There is a rather fantastical and character driven aspect that slowly manifested itself into this song. Its supposed to be about an infinite man (or being), who is able to observe the Earth and its inhabitants, back and forth, throughout the planets entire lifetime. He constantly questions peoples choices and existence itself. Through a lifetime of judging others, he then comes to realise that his ultimate mistake was thinking that there would always be enough time to fulfil his own life. But when he perceives this, he is left as the last mortal being, begging for just one more soul.

Lyrics
Don't you ever think
That it should be so easy 
Link by link
The chain I forged, deceived me
The Stars will fall
And the mind will show me
A sky full of ghosts


It's only alone
I pray that's were told
Coming round, coming down
All this time
I never questioned why
I'm just one soul


Come farther now
Beyond a world so senseless
When all we've done and all we've found
That the strength of man lies beneath the ground
It's a little to late 
To change the way we reach our fate
In this place, we chose to watch the world end


It's only alone
I pray that's were told
Coming round, coming down
All this time
I never questioned why
I'm just one soul


And now i see
I was wrong about me
But my life is now infinity
So I watch the sky
To stop the scream and crying
Just show me, one more soul


Just One Soul

This track is not supposed to be about melody or lyrics. More about relaxing and unwinding. Written on behalf of someone who was having a terrible day, I thought to myself, 'what would calm me down?' the answer turned out to be 12 minutes of ocean sounds with improv guitar and vocals recorded on the fly. A nice two hand tapping part finishes this off, but for the life of me I can't remember how to play it.

Ocean

The only cover song on the album comes courtesy of the unbelievably talented Devin Townsend. Being off the album Ki, it's one of the mellower songs. I just love the simplicity to the song. Keeping it simple means the message stays strong.

Lady Helen (Bonus?)

Futureful

An excerpt from a 20 minute long acoustic jam i found on my mac that I've turned into a song (of sorts).

Veil

A interlude of sorts, a mellow breakdown.
