2nd go at putting some stuff up here. Took a while. I am mesmerized by the prolific and talented bunch of people on here, it is amazing how you all keep putting out all these great tunes!! Hopefully a little improvement production wise at least on the initial EP. Still all me beavering away in Reaper, though I have invested in some plugins since last effort. Guitar is direct input with amp sims but I did also invest in a new guitar too :) Bass, Drums, Synths etc all midi with virtual instruments. Thanks as always to P for the input and advice and to the Famalam for always listening :)

Ever Curious EP

This one evolved a lot and kind of became a power ballad I think. It reflects the position some of the children of the world find themselves in and was inspired by a couple of excellent Irish charities and their stories. I hope it is meaningful it is meant to be, lyrics below.

Because, you’re a girl. Your chances are none and you won’t get to school.
And you, marry young in life. And live without a clue.
Your life, on streets all day. It all just seems so cruel.
We all, need to change. And smash those barriers through.
Chorus:
And nothing changes, it’s the view from below.
There is no first step for you, the view from below.
You’re born in dust to see the view from below.
And from your cardboard bed it’s the view from below.

Too many to count. Kids on streets with no roof to call their own.
Alone, the violent cycles we ignore or just condone.
Your cries, hungry, cold. So lost and all alone.
We can, no longer turn our heads. We must atone.
Chorus
Bridge:
And the world turns
Your turn won’t come
How can we learn.
Chorus.

Just a simple love song, a bit revved up. Has some fun in the middle :)

I Don't Know Me Like You Do

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

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.
