The second-to-last of my revamped tracks. This one has been remixed and remastered and I've added drums.

This track can be bought at https://pallasscat.bandcamp.com/track/hollow-heart should you so desire.

Gobsmacked

Hollow Heart (new version)

The last of my revamped tracks for a while. The original was the first thing I recorded with my current interface and DAW so most of the reworking has been a matter of cleaning up the sound quality.

When Words Can Only Hurt (new version)

A short song with daft lyrics:

I met her by the gallows where the dead men hung
She licked her lips with a long, forked tongue
Said ‘I’m the devil’s girlfriend, come on and take me with you
I got legs from here to Christmas and I know just what to do’

She snaked her limbs around me, spread her wings and took flight
If I was stiff it wasn’t only with fright
She said ‘I’d take you to heaven, but they won’t let me in
While I’ve got your attention, let’s invent another couple of sins’

Pay the Pain Forward

Cuckolding the Devil

A bit of a departure for me: two traditional songs slung together with a combination of instruments I haven't used before. Sounds a bit like a cowboy at a New Orleans funeral.

Michael, Row the Boat Ashore/ When the Saints Go Marching In

Gliding

I was in a coma for five weeks towards the end of last year, and I experienced the joys of ICU delirium. I woke up two stone lighter and with more tubes up my nostrils than I have nostrils. But, crucially, not dead. 

This track is an attempt to express some of the feelings the whole experience engendered. For the guitar nerds out there, it's in DADGAD tuning on my Epiphone Casino.

Delirium

A cover of the Fairport Convention song, written by the masterly Richard Thompson when he was about 12. Apparently Greta Van Fleet has also covered it, whoever she is.

Meet on the Ledge

Ain't Gonna Drag my Tail no More

An original sandwiched between renditions of a Northumbrian pipe tune.

Hesleyside Reel/ Shady Bowers

Partying like it's 1499 with my Martin 12-string.

2 Pavanas

Raise those kirtles up, maidens, it's party time.

2 More Pavanas

16th-century German tune with my own melody added in the middle. Guitar tuned EADF#BE.

Wo Soll Ich Mich Hinkeren

I've recorded a few different versions of this over the years. For this one I played the main riff on 12-string acoustic, and flexed my noodly appendage with an unplugged Epiphone Casino. The 12-string is in lute tuning (EADF#BE) for those who care.

Last Letter Redux

Another re-working of one of my hardy perennials, as I get to grips with my new 12-string guitar.

Never Again (again)

Yes Please, Two Lumps

Moody instrumental recorded with guitar (Epiphone Casino into Fender Blues Junior), bass and karkeb (Moroccan castanets).

Hollow Heart

A slow, moody song about ploughing on through heart-ache. Taken from my album When the Dirt Hits the Coffin (released under the band name Pallas's Cat: https://pallasscat.bandcamp.com/releases).

When the Dirt Hits the Coffin

Scars

10 - Pallas's Cat - Scars

Blues, written and performed by David Tedora

Queen Bee

Track three from my second album, available at https://pallasscat.bandcamp.com/ The title refers to a Peruvian ritual in which a condor is captured and strapped to a bull. Usually, the condor kills the bull and is then released.

The Condor Kills The Bull

D Mixolydian instrumental Inspired by Fairport Convention, with elements of Robin Trower and Brian Eno thrown in. Co-written with my friend Sabine Zöllner, who rocks.
