Got a new bass guitar so thought I might give it center stage and have been playing with a new Amp Sim from Neural DSP. So just some little blasts of fun 😃

Break Away

Little ode to nights out with music to dance to that we are all missing!!

Short Sharp Shots

In The Silence

Decided to jump aboard the MWYE train and rise to their challenge of completing this cool track. Just to see if I could do their mad and wonderful work any justice? Hope I haven't ruined it 😃 And of course I was gonna rock it up a bit. Hope they and you like it.

A little toned down and slower. Hope you like!!

Stop To Ask You

Was playing around with some chords and was stuck for inspiration on a theme. My 9 year old wandered into the "studio" (spare room) so I said give me a title for a song. He told me he had only come in to say he was "missing pieces" of lego. So I said Missing Pieces will be the title and it grew from there 😃
I asked my good buddy Johnny from No Killie Fish to lay some of his awesome guitar lines for the lead guitar and I think it has really added some flavor to the track and the solo is killer!! He is an exceptional player and an even better person, check out his page at https://soundcloud.com/johnnymc2

Missing Pieces (with Johnny McFarlane)

Been a while.............

The light it never comes
Even with eyes open wide
Though all of you are all around
Isolation swells inside

CH: I feel that pain
That I must face alone
I have this shame
That I must face alone
The Anguish Drains
And I must face alone
Thoughts never change
That I must face alone

I don't recognize myself
So how can you all see
The distance that I feel
Though I've everything round me

CH

Just that thought or simple word
You were unafraid to call
Helped shine a light inward
And I stood a little tall

CH2: And you're reaching out
And I am not alone
You take this hand
And I am not alone
You hear my voice
And I am not alone
There is a choice
And I am not alone

Alone (You Are Not)

I am one year on SC today 30 Oct 21. So I just though I'd put a quick track together, just a fun one with loads of effects on vocals and guitars, even brought back the trigger gate which I used on a lot of earlier songs. Was fun for me hopefully is for you and always listen to that little devil on your shoulder!!
I also appeared on Graeme's blog this week so if you fancy a read have a nose - https://soundcloudstories.com/2021/10/29/default-sensor-ireland/

And You Know Me

The always awesome Bawl Slant (https://soundcloud.com/bawl-slant) sent me over a track to do some vocals for. Not really sure where the theme came from🤣 We decided to put it out on my page enjoy and behave 😉

All music and mix: The Bawl Slant

Bite Me!! (with The Bawl Slant)

Home Recorded for fun just to see if I could. Just me and the guitar and whatever I could scare up with plugins and Reaper.

Elevate

Just bought a new guitar when I wrote this so kind of more straight up rock. No synths or sequencers etc....

Missing

Just a bit of fun to finish, lots of effects everywhere. Just a bit of experimentation :)

Reach The Sun

Bit of a departure from my usual style. Unfortunately we lost an old college friend to cancer late last year and I was thinking about that and those kind of friendships that endure despite time, life and geography meaning you don't see as much of each other as you used to, with of course a small goodbye to our good friend Gerry, Slán Abhaile!!

For A While

All written by me and my guitar, home produced and mixed just for fun as well, with virtual instruments and a midi keyboard. Purely for the enjoyment of it.
