Collabs

Collaborations with the late Nigel Sanigar http://soundcloud.com/sanigar

The Q Factor

Imagine an era when rock bands were mixing it up with orchestras......
I tried that here but in this case the band couldn't afford a real orchestra so hired a couple of guys with Mellotrons!

The Naze

My Leslie's On Fire!

A collaboration with Les Beasley of Thunderhead. 
Les wrote/recorded the basic track, I added the slideguitar(s) on top of that.

She Blows Me Away  (Gus Goad/Niggy Q)

Lyrics by Stephen Randall (http://soundcloud.com/stephenrandall-1)

MORE THAN I CAN GET
Send me to a place where I belong
Where I am I'm no good to anyone
Send me far away so I can forget
I need something more than I can get 

Where I am I feel like something died
Now I know the truth was just a lie
Send me far away so I can forget
I need something more than I can get

More Than I Can Get (words: Stephen Randall)(rmx_final 2023/12/01)

Old Fashioned Pop Song

A song I wrote a couple of years ago but given a new lease of life by one of my favourite singers on SoundCloud, Nigel Sanigar  http://soundcloud.com/sanigar,  who sings it far better than I ever could.

I was also delighted that the brilliant http://soundcloud.com/finn-slide-guitarist agreed to wield his mighty guitar over the track -  his first takes had me grinning from ear to ear!


Vocals: Nigel Sanigar  http://soundcloud.com/sanigar
Slide guitar and exquisite guitar solos:  Finn   http://soundcloud.com/finn-slide-guitarist
Badly played keyboards, bass and other guitars: Gus Goad
Backing vocals: the massed choir of Sanigar and Goad

STAND BY 

I live my life on a razorthin line
I've got fire in my veins, with the devil at the reins

And I feel alright - as the night turns into day
Yeah, I feel alright - as this guitar starts to play
Like this

Stand By!
It's gonna be alright
Here comes another day
You're gonna see, it's on it's way

As I float above the ground with my chin up In the clouds
I let the sun warm my face while others taste the rain

I feel alright - and it`s always been this way
Yeah, I feel alright - as my guitar starts to play
Like this

Stand By!
It's gonna be alright
Here comes another day
You're gonna see, it's on it's way

Stand By (words by Scott Jenkins)(rmx_final 2022/01/14)

Poppy Rock song co-written and sung by the coolest Englishman in Japan, Nigel Sanigar http://soundcloud.com/sanigar. 

I am very grateful again to the mighty Finn http://soundcloud.com/finn-slide-guitarist for supplying not only the beautiful slide guitar but also the weaving rhythm guitar.
Thanks also to Finn and his "rock'n'roll girlfriend" Liz for coming up with the insanely catchy organ theme in the choruses and the string "stabs".

Please visit http://soundcloud.com/sanigar for more cool popiness and http://soundcloud.com/finn-slide-guitarist for the wildest rock'n'roll guitar on the planet.

Hope you like our effort

Climbing up a mountain, 
The summit is my goal way up high
Searching for the lost days that pass by 
A blink of an eye

Tried everything
I got nothin left, but I dream on
I need a second chance
And Lord I`ll soar like an eagle

Standing on a mountain
Looking at the past from a higher ground
Memories come floating by while searching for the gate
to the place I`m bound

God, hear me sing
And Lord I`ll soar like an eagle
