Another great song from you. Congrats! You really know how to tell a story with your voice!

which acoustic guitars, mics and pre-amps  do you use on your tracks (if don't mind sharing your secrets).. it sounds amazing

i board smelled the spring with your guitar sound-->love it

There are parts of this that remind me of the Kinks but also the late Phil Ochs. Great stuff. Listening again.

another really good one (listening in reverse order :)  really catchy fingerpicking.  I'm hearing some Phil Ochs here too.  any chance you'll post the lyrics?

up-tempo, folky countryesque. hope you enjoy

Please! Come closer!

And your father went to church every sunday night
after all the sinners had come
giving all the money he had
so that every single one would understand

And your mother was a free bird didnt want you to
become a sinner like the ones she´d had
saving all the money she had
so that you would be the one to understand

you went to school a year or so but then dropped out of it
cause you knew you would earn money while you sang
you acted cool a year or two but then you fell ofr it
and then forgot about the things you could have had

Please,come closer! How nice she sang, du du du du 

Noone dared to ask and noone dared to talk about
we all are full of guilt, the seven sins
spending all the money we have
and noone ever wants to understand

Became a star and they all loved you then all left you there
with their greedy smiles their trying to confess
they didnt know they didnt want to be forgiven so
and they forgot about the things you could have had
and they forgot about the things and now you re dead

Please come closer! How nice she sang. du dudu dudududu

Please! Come closer

WIND RESTLESS WIND
BLOWIN IN MY BRAIN
CONSTANT WORRYING
DRIVING ME INSANE
TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT
SMOKING POT ALL DAY
LIVING IN A BLIND SPOT
SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY

LITTLE BABY MINE
GIVE ME PEACE OF MIND

RING ENDLESS RING
SPINNING ME IN VAIN
RAGGED HARLEQUIN
GOING DOWN THE DRAIN
MY MIND KNOWS NO REST 
MY LIFE LOOKS ALIKE
A TEAPOT IN THE TEMPEST
A MAMMOTH ON A BIKE

SWEET LORD OF MINE
GIVE ME PEACE OF MIND

WIND RESTLESS WIND
BLOWIN IN MY BRAIN
NON STOP QUESTIONNING
DRIVING ME INSANE
WALKING UP TENTH STREET
AND TURNING DOWN MAIN
LIVING ON A JUMP SEAT
CRYING IN THE RAIN

SILLY HEART OF MINE
GIVE PEACE OF MIND

Heights track credits: Written by Charlie Cunningham (Mute Song). Produced & mixed by John Hannon at No Recording Studio, Essex, Autumn 2015

Some praises for Charlie:
 
The Line Of best Fit - “beautiful, yet honest song-writing with such percussive guitar playing that he truly stands out from the crowd.”

Clash - “Charlie Cunningham's music is beginning to spread. On the surface, these are simple, acoustic hymns, but underneath lie more than a few complexities.”

Charlie Cunningham - Heights

A flame to a spark

The Chapin Sisters - "Palm Tree" (EP Version)

First-ever attempt at stretching out a sketch to something like a song. I realize there is a bridge missing 3/4 into the song, if anybody has an idea...

Also -- I am looking for somebody to write the lyrics and record the vocals for this one. I imagine a deep, low voice, a bit like Johnny Cash or Matt Berninger (The National).

I have a melody in mind / in my head and could record a second mellow version with some humming if you're interested.

Saturday Ends [Vocals needed, see description]

Theme 1 Intro

1. Konfitüre in d moll

another day - ohne ein wort (home rec.)

Horizons
