A Cover of The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" at Goodnite Gracies in Royal Oak, Mi.

Behind Blue Eyes (Cover Live @ Goodnite Gracies)

I had this guitar lick kicking around for ages and ages. I didn't really know what to do with it until my friend Lucoline (https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/GAJYT) had a go at it and we came up with this.

Lyrics:
The moon looks sharp tonight
cutting through the atmosphere
dark shadows pierce the light
so lonely and austere

my breath fogs up like ice
but all my thoughts are crystal clear
I won't let you break my stride
I am getting out of here

Sharp footsteps pound behind
stirring up my hopes and fears
your voice rings clear and bright
it echoes in my ears

Such force and eloquence
that every word is insincere
I won't let you break my stride
I am getting out of here

What do you take me for?
You don't love me anymore
and I'm not the girl to stick around 
just to numb your pain
Your broken and wounded soul
it only keeps you in control
but I realized and it's hit me like
a bullet to my brain

Spider In The Whiskey

I have always loved the Em key, it is one of my favourite keys,  it is open to the Chord structures all over the fretboard, and open strings that gives this chord a fullness of sound, this one I recorded using the Sound Libraries make up that gives it lift and creates the atmosphere that I really love the fullness and rich passages that make up this piece.

Movements In The Minor Key

Original Score inspired by the Clay McLeod Chapman novel Whisper down the Lane

Getting it

Aficionada

I decided to let loose with this crazy idea of stringing a bunch of very crude home recordings together, complete with all sorts of background noises and family banter. They were all recorded on my iPhone next to my kitchen where my wife and daughter sound like they must have been building a house! I also quickly added some rough harmonies to create some depth on the original recordings. These are some of my favorite country and country/folk songs of all time and I hope someone will enjoy taking this 16-minute journey with me, just sitting around the kitchen sharing some classic tunes. Each song covered is just a brief snippet of the original, usually no more than a minute each, and i took some liberties in how I sampled each one....

Country Kitchen Medley

Taken from new 2022 EP: Vega, and available from February across all major platforms including Soundcloud, Spotify and Apple Music.

Vega is a purely instrumental project incorporating dirty instrumentation and low-fi electronic elements. The listing includes a varied mix of styles and influences compressed into 5 punchy 3 minute tracks.

If you like my music, it would be great if you could leave a comment / like or follow me on my channel.

Thanks for your support!

The Love Drug

You used to tell me that love 
Was one more thing you dont need
But now it's got you running around
It brings us all to our knees

And after just one touch, you'll never be the same again
It's the addiction we all need

Give me the Love Drug 
Give me the Love Drug

Although you try to pretend
It doesn't matter to you
Oh, it's written all over your face
It's got its claws into you

Now you've tasted what turns life into a hurricane
Its bitter sweetness fills your veins

Give me the Love Drug...
