This was my first song I recorded on Garageband on my iPad.  I spent months memorising the solo because I had to perform it in class at TAFE.

See a girl standin' in the crowd
Sweet diamond among the jagged rocks
Look into her eyes I see curiosity
Don't wanna rush but I wanna see where it takes us
And no girl has ever looked at me like you girl 
 Come over here introduce you to my world
Give me a smile, squeeze my hand, let me know you're there

And oh, oh wah ho
Treat you good treat you right, come here and change my life
And oh, I can't breathe
Take my breath, break my heart, abandon me
And oh, oh wah ho
I see you lookin' girl, I'm lookin' back at you
Just wait and see
Are we compatible? Let's make you and me

I know what it's like to have a broken heart
Takes so long to mend again completely
But let me help you piece together and start again
Cause I believe I'm the last piece you need
And no girl has ever looked at me like you girl
Come over here introduce you to my world
Give me a laugh, hold me close, cause I'm yours

And oh, oh wah ho
Treat you good, treat you right, come here and change my life
And oh, I can't breathe
Take my breath, don't break my heart, abandon me
And oh, oh wah ho
I see you lookin' girl, I'm lookin' back at you
Just wait and see
Are we compatible? Let's make you and me

(Solo)

And oh, oh wah ho
Treat you good, treat you right, come here and change my life
And oh, I can't breathe
Take my breath, don't break my heart, abandon me
And oh, oh wah ho
I see you lookin' girl, I'm lookin' back at you
Just wait and see
Are we compatible? Let's make you and me


The Girl In The Crowd

After hearing Celtic music a few years ago I loved it to bits; the melodies, the harmonies, the rhythms.  Only now have I had a bit of a whack at it.  I don't claim this to be the genuine genre but it's got a recorder acting as a flute like instrument to the overall piece.  Yes, the recorder we all played with in primary school;) But played the way I play.   Enjoy!

There you'll be, as if you were waiting for me
All alone, just wonderin' when you'll come along
Laughter, like a waterfall, heart of gold, couldn't ask for more
Your soul, as pure as sunshine rays

When I meet you it's then I'll know
It's you that I've been waiting for

Once again, you look at me with those eyes
My heart leaps, every time you smile
Your face, carved by the angels themselves
Your name, written in the stars for all time

When I meet you it's then I'll know
It's you that I've been waiting for

(Solo)

When I meet you it's then I'll know
It's you that I've been waiting for (twice)


Note: You'll have to excuse the pitchiness, it's myself, an ipad and some headphones:P enjoy!

When I Meet You

Yes, I used the famed phrase from "Assassin's Creed."  I've had a recent interest in game music and thought I write something that could be possibly used in a fantasy themed game, if it only be the music.  I'd like to sing sometime like Josh Groban as I wrote it in that sense but my classical voice hasn't been developed yet so you'll have to bear with me:P  And yep. That's my recorder from primary school ;) This piece was put together on an old version of GarageBand on the iPad.

So many lives lost, in the war for freedom
Soldier and civilians, injured and deceased
This cannot last forever, there has to be harmony
But for now, run to the light, rest in peace

Requiescat in pace, rest in peace
I know your father would be proud
I'll tell your son and daughter, you were the bravest man alive
But for now, run to the light, rest in peace

The violence is almost over, retreat back to the shadows
Sinners come to the light and repent
The sun's shines getting stronger, watch the waste melt away
We fought for our freedom, and our freedom we claim

Requiescat in pace, rest in peace
I know your father would be proud
I'll tell your son and daughter, you were the bravest man alive
But for now, run to the light, rest in peace


Note: You'll have to excuse the pitchiness, it's myself, an ipad and some headphones:P enjoy!

Requiescat In Pace (Rest In Peace)

All by my lonesome, just feel something's happening
Round, round, I can feel the whole world turn
All around me I hear people talkin', talkin'
But they're not makin' sense

One and two, I should be with you 
A and B, you need to be with me
It, it's just, you're with the wrong guy
Now take a second look

I'll be there for you, only if you want me to
You're everything I want, everything I need 
From setting of the sun, till rising of the moon
Just let the rhythm play, just feel the music breath

Come on baby I feel your rhythm hunger burning
Get over here, satisfy you with the beat
You sure you happy with what you got now 
If not then sing to me

One and two, I should be with you
A and B, you need to be with me
It, it's just, you're with the wrong guy
Now take a second look

I'll be there for you, only if you want me to
You're everything I want, everything I need
From setting of the sun, till rising of the moon
Just let the rhythm play, just feel the music breath

Let the rhythm play! Feel the music breathe!
Feel the music breathe! Feel the music breathe!
Let the rhythm play! Let the rhythm play!
Feel the music breathe, music breathe, breath!

(Solo)

I'll be there for you, only if you want me to
You're everything I want, everything I need
From setting of the sun, till rising of the moon
Just let the rhythm play, just feel the music breath

Be There

Gonna keep on running, wanna feel the pump
Ain't sittin' in the corner twiddlin' my thumbs
See the destination, stronger version of me
Wanna live a life, wanna be free

Gonna run yeah, can't stop me, and on, and on, and on, to the horizon (four times)

Ain't stoppin' now, no going backwards
Can't convince me otherwise or that I should
I refuse to fall, don't ever wanna cheat
So you might as well clear a path for me

Gonna run yeah, can't stop me, and on, and on, and on, to the horizon (four times)

(Solo)

Gonna run yeah, can't stop me, and on, and on, and on, to the horizon (four times)

Horizon

Sometimes I feel I'm dreaming, that you're not really here
Eyes close, open, just to be sure
Tell me when I step over the line, cause I need you as mine
Cause you know it's you I adore

Stay this way always
I can't live without you 
Breathe without you 
Love without you, girl (twice)

Hey baby can I get you anything?
Drink, song, or more lovin'? 
You know I'd do anything for you
Can't believe this love you give to me
Everywhere I go, I'll have it with me
Cause you know this love, I will never let go

Stay this way always
I can't live without you
Breathe without you 
Love without you girl (twice)

You give me love, you give me life
Do my best not to let you down
Cause you lift me up, you are my life
And everyday I'll say, that you're beautiful
Kiss you baby, hold you close to me
Don't ever change, please don't go away
Cause if you did, I'd break so easily

Stay this way always
I can't live without you 
Breathe without you
Love without you girl (repeat till fade)

Stay This Way Always

Been meaning to upload this for a while.  My vocals are pretty rusty but I'm on the start to getting back to where I was.

Enjoy!

It Is You I Have Loved - 2:4:20, 8.49 Pm

Old favourite of mine from John Williamson.  I lack any decent guitar skills so I had to work with what I had :)

Cootamundra Wattle - 1:6:20, 9.08 Pm

Found this old song on my computer from a little after 2012 that I forgot to upload. Enjoy!

This Girl (iPad Original)

When I was volunteering in Africa back in 2011, I wrote some songs for some people at the camp on the guitar.  After coming home, I decided to put them on the iPad and see how well I could mix it into a real song.  More to come with KenyaTunes!

This is for Jasmine, Jane, Miranda and Campbell!

Awesome Foursome (iPadOriginal/KenyaTunes)

Hey guys Gerard here, it has been a few busy years for me so I haven't had time to focus on my songs and covers.  
When life quiets down a bit, I'll start up again.

I want to thank you wholeheartedly for taking time to listen to my songs.
