As always, noodling with the guitars and ended up making a song. I figured I may as well post a picture of some of my guitars here! Inspired by my own bestselling book about a man who became a Shaolin Kung Fu master who then became a God. The words just came to me. Check out www.ren-shen.com if you want to know more about the book! Hope you enjoy!

Tether

A pretty chill track I made with my lovely D18 acoustic and some electronic blips. The bonus is the delicate supporting vocals from a very new talent about to be unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Introducing oPaul. You will know when he is singing, he actually sounds good as opposed to me ;-)

Overthink

Very laid back tune with (perhaps) a message about what is going in the world.

Round&Round

A fun track employing many little sounds. I tried to keep it as open as possible and just wanted to chill and play my guitar in some space. Most of the guitars were my Gretsch Nashville and Bacchus Handmade T Master. A few VST synths and my "Boog" model D.

Sit back and relax.

Hope you enjoy.

Involved

A Mellotron laden guitar oriented track recorded in 3/4 time (waltz anyone?). The lyrics are about a topic that maybe isn't quite as sweet as the melody. 

It all seemed to come together nicely and it was fun using my Rickenbacker 330 and Gretsch Nashville in the various guitar solos. I hope you like it.

Demons (Ode to an addict)

A pretty chill track that builds into a synth heavy chorus which then later almost gets to a Creedence Grapevine kind of groove until my beloved Gretsch comes out for a solo. The solo finishes with a nod to some classic 70's style harmonies.

I hope you enjoy.

Gone (lyrics)
If I was your soldier
I'd be watching my own back

Something wrong about your love
Feels like I'm under attack

Strange kind of feeling come over me
I don't know where I'm at

I'm not looking for sympathy
Can't you see my heart is black?

CHORUS:
Bang bang you're gone
Done something wrong
Paint it Black inside
But now I'm blue

Bang bang you're gone
And I'm alone
We were wrong to flow
You know it's true


Better times are memories
Don't you wanna make some more?

Can't we change our destiny
Does it have to be so dark

Every time you're in the room
Another boundary is marked

Maybe we should try, talk this through
Instead you just walk out the door

CHORUS:

Gone

A laid back guitar track with my Strat driving the rhythm.  The ending is a but of a surprise finishing with yet another tribute to the 70's rock gods. As usual, I hope you enjoy.

Tomorrow

A real mix of sounds here. Used my Elektron Model:Cycles for some nice pads and melody lines. Lots of guitars and my D28 acoustic for the guitar solo. I hope you enjoy it.

LYRICS:
Reason, Unknown
Don't you, Know it

What's that?, You said
I can, free this

Broken, Patterns
Filtered, Sequence

Touch it, Hold it
Guilty, Proven

CHORUS:       
I, had the time of my life
with You, In My dreams tonight

Brilliant, Aura
Can you, Feel it

Lovely, Feeling
Flying, freely

Fire, Burning
Too hot, don't touch

Closer, Danger
Free it, Seize it

CHORUS:       
I, had the time of my life
with You, In My dreams tonight

Soul Catcher

A strange kind of pop song with lots of synth amusement and guitars, of course.

2 little 2 late

An 80s inspired bit of pop sillyness. it sounds like he's quite keen on someone, but sometimes it can go a little too far! Sometimes there's no choice!
