Inner Predator

This is a remaster of a song I wrote and recorded about 10 years ago.
I had a discussion(argument) with my teenage daughter and, when I reflected on it, I realised that the things we said replicated similar discussions with my parents when I was a teenager. The song is from my daughter's (and my younger self's) perspective. She loved Green Day so I wrote it in that style and even borrowed her Mike Dirnt bass to play it.
She said " Yeah, that's alright dad"

I Might Change My Mind

I might change my mind
You know I do it all the time
And I don't need you to help me change it

I know what I want
And I know that you just don't
So leave me alone to live my own life

Don't waste my time
I don't want your nursery rhymes
You can't help me so why not leave it

Don't give me your shit
I don't need it, not one bit
You think you know things that I don't

Its useless to me now
Because you're stupid anyhow
I'll make my own mistakes in my life

I might change my mind
You know I do it all the time
And I don't need you to help me change it

I Might Change My Mind - Remaster 11.01.22

My father passed away today 18th Feb 2022. The last few months were particularly hard for him and he just wanted to die.  This song is one of a few I wrote as catharsis. Sometimes we can live too long when quality of life has gone. 

Sometimes there's no justice
There's no need to try
You just need to trust us
'Til it's your time to die

It's painful to watch you
It's not living at all
Just waiting the days through
For that hammer to fall

I know you really want to go
There's nothing I can do
I want you to know

I feel so helpless
Impotent and scared
It's all so hopeless
But cannot be repaired

I know you really want to go
There's nothing I can do
I want you to know
I know you really want to go
There's nothing I can do
I want you to know

A Thousand Cuts

This is a song in response to a Drum Track that Ava from .spinthedrum made, some time ago.. the original was just guitars... Wilfried Hanrath(W:I:L-o'-the wisp) recently added a 
 very interesting bass line and a synth track.. I very much like the addition and am proud to present this new "Bisquits and Tea..

This song is about the first time my eldest son realised that nothing in life is forever.  He was just 5 at the time.  One evening, I was giving him a bath when, completely out of the blue, he asked me “Where’s your Dad today?” 

My Dad had died a couple of years before Jason was born and, whilst I had no problem giving him a straight answer, did wonder what had suddenly prompted the question.

I tried to explain that my Dad was no longer alive, a difficult concept for a child of 5 to fully grasp, hence his follow-up question, “Is he playing games and pretending, just like you and me?” 

There’s nothing my Dad would have loved more than to come over and play some games, and I found it more than a little tricky to tell Jason exactly why he couldn’t.  He was asking who my Dad was - “Who do you talk to? Who do you play with?” - and I had to find a way of telling him that, at some point, everyone’s life just kind of moves on.

As he processed this, his eyes started to well with tears.  He asked me if I would always be there, and if I would always be his Dad and I told him that, whatever happened, there would only ever be one Dad for us both.  The fact that I too was now crying may well have made this rather hard to decipher, but the hug he gave me showed just how much he understood.  It was a moment I have never forgotten.

Sharing that moment is something we still talk about, a memory we both recall with such clarity and such overwhelming fondness, a remembrance that will last the rest of our lives.

As always, working on this track with Hans has been such a complete pleasure.  He is not only a master musician and producer but a brilliant interpreter of songs – this track is everything I wanted it to be, and I cannot thank him enough for that.

LYRICS

Father to Son (Written By Terry Reeves April 1995)

Always asking where's your Dad today
Is he coming round our house to play
But I tell him no he's gone
Got a feeling he won't be around

Then he asks is he playing games
Just pretending like you and me
There’s no hiding where he had to go
Will not get the chance to say hello

I want him to know
Didn’t want him to go                          CHORUS
I want him to see
Didn’t want him to go

If he loved you did he have to leave
Did you cry did he wave his hand
Lots of sadness when the moment came
Passing years sometimes helps the pain

Has he gone now is he coming back
If he’s not then who will be my Dad
Then I tell him I cannot replace
Man inside will always show his face

I want him to know
Didn’t want him to go
I want him to see

MIDDLE

As the sadness shows surprise 
I knew him more
As he filtered to recognise 
I knew him more
As the tears filled up his eyes
I knew him more
As he started to realise 
I knew him more 
I knew him more 
I knew him more 


Do you love me are you growing old
Will you leave me can you always stay
Yes I tell him there will never be
Any other Dad for you or me


I want him to know.

Father To Son (Collab. with Hans Albers)

No vocals yet, but they'll hopefully be in the box soon with Mrs Moag and myself.
Pour mes amis Francophones, c'est une reprise d'un "classique des variétés françaises", années 70,
le reconnaissez-vous ?

Bad keys, shaky shakers,

I try to not grill ALL of these ingredients
ALL of the time... but it’s hard.
