Stink Eye

acoustic kinda sound but definitely Country music, with an ambiguous vibe in many ways.

"I FALL T0 PIECES" 2024 (my late Mum's stage song 🥰) Country Cover sung by tom mcguinness

Keith is an old school rocker who loves to belt out throaty vocals and crunch away on guitars.
I just come alongside and wrap a vision of additional parts and produce it all to show off the details in the creative process as best as a modest home-based  musician with a rudimentary DAW can. 
Once in a while, lyrics come along that glue everything together.

So, for 2024, here is our wish: we need a hero! Who do you envision in such a role?  Our parents, our family, our teachers, medical practitioners, scientists, researchers, friends, musicians, politicians who unite (not divide), a religious figure, a community member or volunteer, or perhaps someone who has overcome significant challenges? What makes a leader for the challenges of 2024? Maybe it's you?

                               We Need a Hero
    Do you weary of everything?
    Does it turn like machinery?
    Do you drown in a puddle?
    As deep as eternity
    Do you surrender or fight?
    Even know what is right?
    Do you just rattle your tin?
    With all your walls closing in
    WE NEED A HERO…WE NEED A HERO TO LEAD US
    NEED A HERO…WE NEED A HERO RIGHT NOW
    WE NEED A HERO…WE NEED A HERO TO LEAD US
    NEED A HERO…WE NEED A HERO RIGHT NOW…
    (Lead-guitar-break)
    Does the smell seem to lurk?
    But your pain never hurts?
    Machinations of malaise
    With all your walls closing in
    (We need a hero, hero)
    (CHORUS)

You could take care of me
I could be your fool forever and ever
That would be wrong wrong wrong

You could find a lover in me
I could see the same in you
Oh we could get lost
That would be wrong wrong wrong

You could take care of me
All of my life
I could be your stupid Hero
That would be wrong wrong wrong 
That would be wrong.

Fools Forever

ANARS ! Refais-le

I was reading an article recently where Billy Idol was describing his "California Sober" lifestyle and he provided some perfect lyrics for a piece I had written earlier this year.  Thank you Billy Idol!

Year of Music: September 1, 2025

tenerife sea (lovely & beautiful piano)

Privileged to have composed music on a full-time basis since April 2024, I have other business to transact (from 19th September 2025 onwards). Thank you for taking the time to hear my work...incredibly...by now...approaching half a million streams on Soundcloud. I should like to return to full-time composition when I retire....so that, in the words of Dylan Thomas, I do not 'go gentle into that good night'. Thanks to my wife Helen, for enduring the words 'I think I may have a piece', so very many times, with angelic tolerance.
[Equipment: 
1. Yamaha Genos2 Arranger Keyboard
2. Customised (triple felted) Roland RD-600 hammer-action keyboard as MIDI master connected to the Yamaha Genos2.
3. Various Yamaha acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars.
4. Chinese (1940s?) 4/4 Cello (a delightful instrument)
5. German (1850s) 4/4 violin (a Stradivarius copy, but a good one)
6. Yamaha Bb trumpet
7. Britone Professional BT-DM66 (48v) microphone with home-made (metal mesh) pop filter (connected to the Yamaha Genos2 48v socket).

The Roland RD-600 customisation required disassembly, 3 layers of new felt, fabric glue, and copious amounts of Lucas 'red' grease on the hard-plastic key mechanics...though one could just as well use Dow Corning Molykote].

Particular thanks to Yamaha and Roland for making magnificent instruments. 

PS. I may make an occasional piece, now and then, when no-one is looking.
