Here's the video for this song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zizf-sQG_eg

instant alt-rock classic with grungy guitars,  soaring ethereal female vocals and driving shuffle groove.

Met Her On Arrival

And then you met her on arrival, she stole your heart like a new religion
Devil's child wore her smile, on and on her kisses carried you

Cold riches, you cannot find peace of mind in your securities
Cold riches, you're bound to see what you'll be for opportunity

And then you opted for denial, a buried head with blurry vision
Pure sarcasm mixed with guile, the doctor called, the symptoms must be true

-----

And then you had a premonition, a thousand things you might be missing
Deja Vu and indecision, it's crazy how they're both inside of you

Cold riches, you cannot find peace of mind in your securities
Cold riches, you're bound to see what you'll be for opportunity

Settle down, little mama, settle down to find your way
Settle down, little lady, settle down to keep your self

Met Her On Arrival

You're Gone

Wrote this while on holiday in Slovenia last summer - and took the photo very near where we were staying. Slovenia is stunningly beautiful and everybody was incredibly lovely!

I popped round to Charlie's place after work last week and strummed it through while he accompanied me with his lovely spontaneous electric guitar playing… and then, as luck would have it, I bumped into Jennie Howell in town on my way home from Charlie’s and she asked if I had anything she could sing on, so she came over and added some wonderful backing to the final verse!
 I added just a little bit of clarinet and strings.. (on the GarageBand keyboard).

Lyrics;

The door said step outside the whole world is here for you
and the steps said come on feet, you can step on me
and the garden gnome, smiling, said have a great day
have yourself an apple, said the apple tree

The road said I’m just wide enough if you stay over to the side
and the hill said you can make it if you try
and the lazy dog cooling off said lie in the shade
rest if you’re flagging, said the dragonfly

My backpack said don’t worry Jack, I’ve got your back
and my sunglasses said you know you need me now
and the sun said rejoice my friend cos this is our time
and the wind said I will cool you down

The stream said you should see me in full flow after the rain
and the path said keep on, you’re almost there
and the roundabout said where you going and where have you been
and the cars said we don’t really care

The lake said there’s no hurry you can stay here for a while
and the water said jump in if you want
and the children said remember when, and the boats said until then
and the ducks said this is where we belong

All the while up above
where only legends dare to climb
the mountain said 
with his head in the clouds
all in good time

all in good time.

~

All In Good Time

Yeah, I know, darlin’, you’re tied to someone new
But tonight, you’re here with me
Though you’re miles away when the daylight breaks through
Tonight, you’re all mine to see


Way down by that red dirt road
We’ll let our midnight stories flow
Sip that whiskey slow ‘neath the pale moon glow


My honey, I know when the roosters crow
You’ll be gone, like the wind through the trees
But tonight, you’re here with me


Way down by the riverside
We’ll let that honky-tonk heart collide
One last slow dance ‘neath the silver sky

My honey, I know when the morning comes
You’ll be gone, but ‘til then, let it be
Cause tonight, you’re here with me
Just here with little old’ me    The sun’s going to chase this night away
And your trail will fade like smoke in the rain
But I’ll keep that spark, deep in my heart
Cause tonight… we burned like a runaway train

Tonight you belong to me

OMGG went a little crazy even to consider reproducing this iconic Beatles tune ✨. But with deep respect for the original, the band thought it could be special to bring back that unforgettable feeling of the Beatles’ first landing in the U-S-A 🇺🇸🇬🇧.

🎛️ From the engineer’s corner: The sound was deliberately designed to be like stepping into a time machine. Instead of chasing today’s polish, the recording was made close to live, with limited fidelity, vintage-style mic placement, tube preamps, and period-inspired gear at First Cut Studio, New York. Every choice was about recreating the vibe of the 1960s — not imitating perfection, but chasing that raw excitement.

🎤 Mira, who opened the song, laughed about her experience: “I was having such a tough time with the high notes (haha) but yeah, well… you tell me if I qualified? 😊 Anyway, we love the Beatles and we love you. That’s all we do — we want to make music for you and sacrifice whatever we can.”

The result is OMGG’s way of saluting a classic, and hopefully carrying some of that early magic to a new generation 🌟.

I Want to Hold Your Hand (OMGG – 60s Club Version)

Here I am in the shade of my lemon tree
Baseball game on the radio
Ahead in the ninth, but it ain’t over yet

All in the shade of my lemon tree
Birdsong sing in my other ear
Chance of a winning year

Called strike three, batter caught looking
Nasty pitch, outside corner, that’s two down
Here come their last hope

All in the shade of my lemon tree
Birdsong sing in my other ear
Chance of a winning year

That fly buzzing ‘round my head
Landed on my nose
If I get the chance
That fly is gonna die today

There’s a swing and a drive, going deep
Back on the track, looking up
Makes the catch, Tom* call “ballgame!”

That fly buzzing ‘round my head
Landed on my nose
If I get the chance
That fly is gonna die today

All in the shade of my lemon tree
Birdsong sing in my other ear
Chance of a winning year

Nasty Pitch

Forget the left, forget the right
Forget about the party tonight
Get me to my next appointment

What do you call it when 
You can’t remember someones name? 
What should I call you instead?

Feel the pressure rising
Right in front of my eyes
Tip of my tongue, but not my brain

Forget the left, forget the right
Forget about the party tonight
Get me to my next appointment

Conversations a thousand times
I know I know your name
What it is right now I’ve got no clue

Forget the left, forget the right
Forget about the party tonight
Get me to my next appointment

I need a second here
Get my foggy head clear
I’m not out of balance
I’m hopping around on one foot

Forget the left, forget the right
Forget about the party tonight
Get me to my next appointment

I need a second here
Get my foggy head clear
I’m not out of balance
I’m hopping around on one foot

Later on today or tonight
Not thinking ‘bout it
Beat the blocking phenomenon


Blocking Phenomenon

Chill Nu Jazz, a fusion of jazz, electro, and neoclassical music with throbbing hip hop beats at 85 bpm

The second of three songs including Ripples and yet to release, Harvest Moon, that I wrote between naps while I was in bed with a head cold. I literally fit the description of a bedroom producer 😆

Composed digitally MIDI to DAW via VST instruments, all original, no AI, made by a human

When the state of people of the world seems out of whack, I take comfort in Mother Nature’s equinox, a day when light and darkness are in balance. This year’s equinox occurs on a new moon, a rare event and a symbol for setting intentions for new life with gratitude for blessings already received.

For us living in the top half of the earth, we will see less light until the passage of Winter Solstice. For friends living in the lower half of the planet, may you enjoy the coming of the light until it fully blooms at Summer Solstice. Until then, on the equinox, 22 of September, 2025, we jointly experience an equality of night and day 🌚🌞

While Equinox presents us with equal day and night, the song definitely expresses my personal sadness at the reality of light fading into winter in my half of the world. The diminishing of light also reminds me of Dylan Thomas’ poem, Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night, in which he wrote, “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” So the music is truthful, and like all personal truths, this, too, will change. And can change as fast as a trip south of the sun-drenched Equator 😀✌️

Equinox

This is the final track for "Next Trail Marker". New album coming soon!!

Out, want to get out
Left foot down from the drivers seat
Stepping toward the front door
Grab my key

Now, who been sweeping sand from my driveway?
Toppled blocks piled up by the sidewalk

Think I want to move away
Out to Green Valley
How about it? 
Never look back

Well, fresh start clean the board
New neighborhood 
Stack ‘em back, better than before

Think I want to move away
Out to Green Valley
How about it? 
Never look back

Golf cart to the grocery store
No one sleeping on the bus stop 
Couldn’t ask for more

Out, want to get out
Left turn down to 19th street
Back away from that front door
Let’s move it out

Think I want to move away
Out to Green Valley
How about it? 
Never look back

I think I want to move away
How about it?

Golf cart to the grocery store
No one sleeping on the bus stop 
Couldn’t ask for more


Out, Want Out
