A New Eden

Thylacine (Reticent)

Pretty Words (inst. demo)

A new recording of an old song; one of the first things I "wrote" for guitar, and still enjoy to play. The words are some 10 years old at this point, the chords a couple years younger.

Teflon Dreams

It occurred to me once that the poem was not really about Winnie the Pooh from Christopher Robin's point of view, but about Milne himself and his son. It would barely count as subtext really, but that's when it really clicked for me, and I relate to it with the relationship with my son; someone you love, guide and play with, and the gratitude you have for them being in your life.

Us Two

Just a really low-fi laptop mic recording of an acoustic cover of Korn's Got the Life. I couldn't find any acoustic versions on the net (unplugged doesn't count(, so I had a go at making my own. Even taking away my playing (the distortion in the crappy mic makes it hard to hear where horrible musicmanship ends and horrible recording begins), the chords I play are likely not perfect, but close enough for my purposes.
