Very engaging. Effective instrumentation. Expressive singing. Unique ending passage

Wonderful! So calm and really nice guitar sound. 🔥👍👏

another older track I'd like to try to expand on some day. Just didn't have the playing chops at the time of recording it. Still don't  :O)

This track was also used (temporarily) as a middle section of an alternate, slower and extended version of ‘Jazzy Ditty’, one of my favourite tracks. But I hope to eventually replace it with something that fits better. 

Artwork is a variation I did (added guitar strings) on a well known Matisse print.

Comments always appreciated, but don't feel shy to give critical feedback - always trying to get better!

Belle Curves Blues

I woke up and saw the light

This song was inspired by "The Cold Heart" (German: Das kalte Herz), a fairy tale written by Wilhelm Hauff. It was published in 1827 in a collection of fairy tales that take place within the narrative of The Spessart Inn.
Although written almost 200 years ago, the described conflicts of mankind are still up-to-date, maybe even more than before. Preferring status und prosperity over humanity is something which has become socially acceptable.

Special thanks for prelistening and precious ideas to my dear friend Gary Reeves!

Lyrics
Peter was in the charcoal business
never in peace with the live he was living
made a deal with the forest spirit
Three wishes and a new life given

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity
 
Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

It did not play out like you were whishing for
glassworks went down and you needed much more
sold your heart to Dutch Mike to keep living
a heart of stone and the fortune you were given

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity

Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

Flourishing business kept you going
but your smile was eternally frozen
when your drivers faded and you had murdered love
nothing left there but an empty heart

Descending to the darkest corners of humanity
what was it you were thinking of when you lost your pity

Inside your stone cold heart
You‘ve built a world of disregard

Stone Cold Heart

Peace

Your Home Now

A feeling of waiting and going nowhere. Too much time to think as your regrets interfere with your thoughts.

Lyrics

And the reason that you thought you hadn't told me
The reasons that you said had gone away
I dreamed about chances and the answers
I never knew what happened anyway

As the reasons and the days pass. 
Everything seems to settle in my mind 
The reasons that I had I didn't tell you
I was fearing who I am

In many years I never thought about you
But that's a lie. I'm lying to myself
For the reasons try and lock away the answers
It took away my heart and something else...

A Song version of Patience I just had the idea for. Hope its an improvement. 

Please feel free to leave a comment as its really helpful. 

Hope you enjoy.

Patience and Regret

Love them or hate them, believe me or believe me not. Say what you think of this band who are like Marmite to many but gods to many more.
This certain band of late as reformed and caused hysteria in Great Britain with tickets selling out in hours with expectations, excitement and a need to see them live after 16 years. 
A songwriter that draws on his record collection to write incredible sing along anthems and a front man with attitude that’s pure rock n roll. 
Yes we are talking about Oasis!
My kids are in  their late 20s and a part of the GenZ generation and we’re only just born in the Britpop boom and me I was fronting my own band playing that style of music at that time.
The GenZ  age group don’t talk about The Beatles as the holy grail as many of my generation did. 
Their bands now are Oasis, Blur, The Verve,  Stone Roses etc. And like us with The Beatles we were too young to actually see them in their hay day. 
The GenZ generation have claimed Oasis for them for themselves and I think that is fantastic. My sons and his friends are idolising men who are the same age as their fathers. It’s funny but also weird that they don’t see their age they only see them as cool  with amazing  music.
I’ve seen all the bands they love and Oasis even played at a music venue in Birmingham called The Jug Of Ale that I played at. Oasis were supporting a local Birmingham band in 1994 to around 30 people. 
Ive watched the footage so far of Cardiff, Manchester & London and to be fair they sound fantastic in their 50s better than when I saw them in the the hay day of the 90s.
This song is just an expression of how a bunch of kids from a council estate who sat at the back of the class and are now in their fifty’s can make such an lasting effect on generations to come. 
This is just how me and maybe you got inspired when we were young to wanna be in a band. I definitely know I was a kid from the back of the class with hopes and dreams of being a rock star. 
Let’s hope by Inspiring the kids to pick up guitars and bring back real music that AI doesn’t take over the music industry like a recent AI band The Velvet Sundown!  
All I’ve heard is best gig ever from anyone who as been so far. So fair play Oasis for pulling off the biggest come back in music history. 
Conscience Of Kings gives you ….

These Are  The boys 

V1 
The council estate kings
With a soundtrack to our lives
Musical influence that just can’t be denied 
A pre social media age that was just a better time
From singing on the terraces
To rising  out the grime 

Chorus 
I told 
GenZ it’s all been said 
You claimed for yourselves instead 
These are the boys from the back of the class
Theses are the boys who are bringing it back x2

These are the boys…..they are your teachers,  your preachers 

V2
They broke through the dusty ceiling and shattered the glass
Like the icons before them they said it could never last
They made kids on council estates pick up guitars to thrash
Oh my son these are the boys from the back of the class

Chorus 

Into : 
These are the boys from the back of the class x4 

Lead break 

These are the boys from the back of the class

One night I went into my living room, picked up the guitar and ad-libbed these four songs.
