this song is one of the most complex songs ive written, I try to keep things simple, less is more way of doin , but sometimes art has a life of its own and has to breathe and evolve into its own form, kinda like water takes the shape of anything you put into,. if I had any balls id call this song 'my own little frankenstein' , hope you enjoy anyway,

The Wasteland (remaster)

up to now I consider it best song ive written, was going for a kind of early to mid nineties alternative rock sound (ala Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, you get the idea) but kinda morphed into something else, Enjoy!

This Is Your Life

Flesh robot with cold thighs and fingers of icicle gripping the wheel of the black car, everything is forgotten. I switch off the dashboard and let my soul ride out on to the dark, floating and quivering on the frosty air.  Everything is clear in this struggle to reach her. I am in a kind of fanatical imagery now, unreal, moving through this aquarium of feelings, conscious of nothing but the blood thinning in my veins,...  and the slow fearful heart.
