Description: Inner critic is a music project with my wife, Lycia. Lycia writes the songs and plays acoustic guitar.

My other project - inner critic. Written by Lycia C.

You work so well together, I hope you're not falling apart. She has a lovely voice. Helen x

really finding the flow now...wow..what a great song and Lycia's vocal is compellingly lovely.

My Dad played this song (recorded by Hank Williams Sr. in 1949) on his harp when I was growing up. Good memories.

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry (Cover by Tony)

If you so happen to like this, please please give me a like.  

The only thing from the original recording is the vocal, me in 2002.  I've kept the original vocal because I like how I stylised it, though I'm not entirely sure what I was aiming for there, most likely trying to sound like someone - though I can't remember who! 

It's got the benefits of being a voice about 19/20 years younger than the present one!  I'm by no means fallen to pieces, but have a notably different voice at 42 to the one I had at 22! I did try to re record a little piece of the vocal, just a couple of words, won't say which bit, only because it was a lyric I didn't love, but that sadly made the voice difference over 20 years glaringly obvious, because of which I've left the vocal as it was. 

Lyrics

You always tell me that I'm looking fine
I know you know I've got things on my mind
I know I've been lost and, in the freeze,
Been beaten down, the bruises only I can see!

I feel the cold wind cut close to the bone
At times when I feel like I’m on my own
But no, I ‘m still me 
I’m still me!

Just need a little recovery
Try and be the way I used to be
And see the things I used to see
A smile on my face
But smiles can be misplaced
In time, can be erased
But mine will be replaced
Will be replaced!

You exorcize the things that haunt my soul
Can leap through fire when I’m not alone
But no I'm not brave
My life's another slay
Inner punches by my fist alone
Struggles twine themselves around my throat
But no I'm still me
I’m still me!

Just need a little recovery
Try and be the way I used to be
And see the things I used to see
A smile on my face
But smiles can be misplaced
In time, can be erased
But mine will be replaced
Will be replaced!

Sometimes I feel like there’s just no way out
Feel like my body’s knocked into the ground
I know I seem to have lost all control
My frail image might have lost it’s soul

But I know, still, I won’t go! 

Just need a little recovery
Try and be the way I used to be
And see the things I used to see
A smile on my face
But smiles can be misplaced
In time, can be erased
But mine will be replaced
Will be replaced!

Stretching Time [featuring Orieliel Watcher]

Hello! I play guitar, bass and a bit of keys. Played in lots of bands over the years. Lately I'm focusing on recording (Logic Pro) instrumental music. I have many influences so what comes out is elements of Rock, Electronic, Ambient, Progressive and Indie.  Mostly improvised. My dream would be working on movie soundtracks. 
I will be posting as often as I can. I'm also open to collaborating with other musicians. Any and all comments welcome!

Also the other half of the duo - Inner Critic. Check it out!
