Really simple folk-country song about an old guy accepting his life.

(Don't Mind) Getting Old

You're The Thing That I Want Most

Very laid back country song based on my philosophy for life :) Written and performed by Malcolm MacWatt

Take The Easy Road Demo

Quite a sad nostalgic country song. Lyrics and music by Malcolm MacWatt. Not the perfect drum track but always a compromise when using loops.

My Idea of Heaven

I have  no issues with pretty girls whatsoever, merely pointing out that us blokes can be a bit shallow sometimes! Lyrics and music by Malcolm MacWatt

What Pretty Girls Do To Men (Home Demo)

She Asked Me To Dance (Demo in Progress)

OK before anyone thinks I'm a misogynist I'm absolutely not!! This song is about a couple having a row, they say some shitty things they don't really mean (as people in relationships often do) which can't be unsaid.

You Crazy Bitch (Home Demo)

Yay it's Christmas and I'm gonna bring the happy vibe down!!! True story actually.
Lyrics and music by Malcolm MacWatt.

Christmas in Eden (And I'm Hungover, Homesick and Heartbroke)

Why Don't You Love Me? (Acoustic)

Country rocker about what love means

It’s easy putting on the Marvin Gaye when your life is good and the bills all paid
With a sunset sky and a beach and a bottle of wine
It’s breezy when you’re having fun, not a care in the world, when your heart is young
Love is the answer, love is blind
But when the money’s tight and the kids don’t eat, with the repo man coming down the street
When a broken soul seeks someone else to blame
When promises and wedding rings cease to mean a goddamn thing
When life’s not easy love is not a game 

CH: When he’s messed around and you just found out, are you crazy in it?
When she’s cut through, ripped your heart in two, tell me how deep is it?
Is she still your girl, is he still your guy when you’re broken and rejected
It’s all just words until your love’s been tested

So now you’ve lost nearly everything, your soul’s been trashed, what a state you’re in
Is there love enough in your heart left for forgiveness?
Cos that’s the time you choose to quit or maybe you can both learn from it
But either way is a hard road of commitment
When pride is hurt and the faith is gone and the naked truth is all you’ve got
And that solid gold feels hollow on your finger
When you can look in each other’s eyes and respect looks back not tears or lies
Then maybe you can say your love is king

Until Your Love's Been Tested Demo

Bouncy blues track I quickly recorded at home

Every Road Is Leading To The Blues Demo

I have three studio albums on SPOTIFY/iTUNES/AMAZON/GOOGLE MUSIC - this page is for demos/ideas only and very often to gauge how a song is received. A couple of demos on here have been up-leveled to Spotify or bandcamp because they had hundreds of plays from you guys so thanks!

As founding member of emerging London country band The Glass Mountains, Scottish musician Mal MacWatt is already gaining recognition for his Americana-infused songwriting. 

While a deep respect for country and bluegrass is evident in his songs and guitar playing, as a solo performer Mal freely shows his British folk roots citing John Martyn and Dick Gaughan as major influences.
