Thanks a lot man - appreciate it - cheers!

Man I am really digging this.  You just might have created a new genre here.  Grunge Ska?  Bravo!  And the horns just put it further over the top 👏🏻

Super cool track. It gets me thinking of early XTC.

Good stuff here. Intense, frantic, and very entertaining. I can hear a bit of that early Bowie sound (you say you are a big Bowie fan - me, too). Pin Ups, Man Who sold The world. On top of all that influence, you bring your own solid style. Like it. ⁓Rebecca

got a real beatles vibe going on with this one

Nice job man. Your voice is really good, playing as well.

I Need A Drink!

Break Up Song remastered II

A driving beat with classic riffs and a tale of addiction and contemplation.

SKEG

Song from about 1990 influenced by S. Central and Don't Go Back To Rockville by R.E.M. Middle 8 inspired by Bruce Springsteen's The River...... not about anyone

Michael Murray's Album

Perfect Standing

Another acoustic track about teenage folly, loss of innocence and peer pressure

LYRICS:

When we were young we felt so strong
The songs we sung, the words were wrong

Tell us a story of your broken hearts
When the water turns black and the ocean parts
Follow your leader on up to the park
And we can all stand by as your eyes go dark

When you were young you grazed your knee
You couldn’t tell, they couldn’t see

Eyes Go Dark

I taught myself guitar with the Beatles and Elvis music books when I was 16 but when it came to the piano many years later, after learning the basic major/minor chord shapes, I just began trying to busk/write songs to practice (I haven't improved much btw!!!!) and this song stemmed from that time trying to join chords together. The idea about "closing the door and never coming home" reminded me of the Beatles 'She's Leaving Home' and I just went with it: Imagining contrasts of George Michael or Morrissey singing the 'big' chorus I could hear in my head in their own unique ways. It's another story song and is about no one in particular. I don't expect this song to be an 'in-context' hit on Soundcloud but it is a personal favourite of mine.

Charles Hardin

Nobody Else

cool (demo)

Written after revisiting Manchester band, The Fall's catalogue following the premature demise of frontman Mark E Smith. When I first played a version of the song  live someone said it reminded them of a Madness song and I was rather flattered by that, so there's some SKA horns in there too.

Too Blue

Gone Fishing

Haunt Me (demo)

I am a singer-songwriter originally from Liverpool (yes, that one; home to Cilla, Everton FC and a few other cultural icons) and now living in Kent, near London, UK. I play in a ‘punk n’roll' covers band called the The Oddball 3 and my own songs solo at open mics. I’m a music nerd/geek obsessed with The Beatles and Bowie and like lots more: Costello (btw my ‘Elvis’ moniker is a nickname I picked playing rugby football – I think I started one season with a decent set of sideburns!), Squeeze, R.E.M., Smiths, Roxy, Bolan, Springsteen, Neil Finn etc. Partial to a bit of synth / electronica/ country/ SKA/ reggae/ Motown/Stax soul too – a very eclectic mix of inspirations and influences. I’m a vinyl and CD junkie and overall,  listening to, playing and writing music is my life's passion...... However, I try ,nonetheless, not to take myself too seriously and I do this 100% for fun and while I dream of writing a classic song(s) from which the publishing could allow me to quit the day job (I'm a school teacher) realistically, I have no ambition other than for friends and strangers to give me the privilege of their valuable time to listen to my songs; and, as a bonus, if they like it; maybe click and comment. I record all my stuff on my iPad using Garageband for iOS. Yeah; for sure I could get a better sound if I used X,Y and Z or mixed this up and that down etc. but I'm honestly not really bothered. Generally, I’m lo-fi, vintage, retro, 20th century kind of guy and everything I present here is purely a demo. It is all about the songs and the sound ‘idea’ for me and not the performance. Although I believe that I’m a very competent/experienced, (albeit technically ‘unadventurous’) guitar player; I’ll hold my hands up to a limited singing range and looping and pre-sets save my life given my keyboard skills extend barely beyond being able to flange out chords with one or two not accompanying bass notes. If you want to talk about my (or your) songs that's cool; as is anything geeky/nerdy about any of the artists above or similar. However, please don't get in touch with production tips and suggestions, because in the nicest possible way, I’m not that interested in such things - But I won't be rude if you don't read this first :) More than anything, think it’s really important that artists respect each other’s’ work even if they don’t like or rate it highly. Anyway, Love and Peace, ElvisOddball AKA Michael Murray
