Here's a sneak peak at a new track idea! For those who've had someone they desire but cannot have, and those who grapple with the idea of that one with someone else. Lyrics are as follows:

Swelling lust,
Her back floats bare.
She wears no more
Than flowing hair.

She beckons me,
"Come overboard".
Her eyes alone,
A siren's call.

But I cannot swim.
I cannot swim.

A wash of skin
To cleanse my soul.
She's fluid, mosaic,
A welcome cold.

Pouring light,
She floods my eyes.
Above to below,
I long to dive.

But I cannot swim.
I cannot swim.

She will give life
With flowing hands,
Though not just once
To just one man.

When tides are high,
And the moon is whole,
Waves consume
And swallow all.

But still I try to swim.
Still I try to swim.

"Swelling Lust" Sneak Preview

Little fiddle from this morning using my spankin' new relic strat.

Short-But-Sweet Blues

This song is about something and someone very close to my heart, and is the first by duo 'Go Cheat', comprised of myself and the Emma Carn.

Comment, criticize and enjoy!

Shadowboxing by Go Cheat

Another work-in-progress, using some unexpected and surprising tones from my Ibanez RG series, loaded with Mick Thompson's (slipknot) signature Seymour Duncan set.

Relaxing slide guitar jam

Acoustic Blues

A song about a boy who was bullied to breaking point.

It is yet to include lyrics in the recording, but here they are:


I have none
And none want me
Promise to stay
Or leave me be

All take turns
And curse my name
For my mental health
You're to blame

Not confined
To 'Face-to-face'
You haunt me
In every place

Can't sleep at night
Because of you
I hope it's worth
What they give you

(guitar solo/instrumental section)

You hurt me
So I hurt you
I coloured red
Your favourite shoes

From here on out
I don't know the plan
Except that I'll grow up
Having killed a man


The Big Kid

Spontaneously written work in progress, freshly squeezed this afternoon (minus the lyrics):

You and I both
Have seen some dark days
But that is no more
We got away

Some left scars
And cracks on my face
I don't care if I'm disfigured
Your love fills the space

I've seen you
Behind those walls
And you've seen what I'm like
When love's at my door

Masterfully we
Crafted our bond
Artisans envy
How we get along

Life can get hard
With trouble it's laced
Don't lose sight of who you are
And rush for first place

The best thing of all
My little romance
Is we keep each other
From the devil's dance

'Settle Down' (Cover) - Go Cheat

An instrumental I've been working on over the last few days. Let me know what you think, I'd love some opinions!

All music on the track was made using solely my Tanglewood acoustic, recorded on my iPhone (hence the bad quality).

This one's for my father, Shane.
