ROCKS

“I like my songs raw, with the pulp and seeds. Those are nutrients. It’s not good to listen to too much highly processed music.”—Tom Waits

This is another one of those tunes that came about under the moon, on the back porch.

The Pulp and the Seeds

Lyrics:
You were planted, 
often alone
Catching a red fish 
and letting it go
Violet tinged under 
the water
In your head, a hole 
I hammer
So a gentle warm breeze
might into it blow
Catching a red fish
and letting it go

Undone 
the soul saves but one
Fed off the youngest look
Aphids get hooked

The lifeline is open
in my hand
Hard death looms like a 
palm filled with sand
I love chlorophyll in my 
treacherous land
The fresh squeezed blooming
deprived me
I cannot stand

Bathed like leaves
in a history book
Maddening
how Aphids get hooked

Youth, young and small
Directions promise it all
Yet they complain of getting rooked
(Even though they know)
Aphids get hooks

You were planted,
often alone
Catching a red fish
and letting it go
Here in mauve sun
solvent by the brook
Underneath, caves want it all
Here, Aphids get hooked

Aphids Get Hooked

In collaboration with Francess Harris. She played the piano composition and I did the composition of the orchestral arrangement. Thank you for listening and enjoy. Any comment is appreciated always.

Collaboration Timothy McGuire / Francess Harris

Hibernia

Hibernia (feat. Fr. Harris)

This is a battle cry wrapped in poetry — a song about reclaiming your voice after being silenced, and turning pain into power. With raw female vocals, harsh male screams, and a choir that lifts the wreckage skyward, it cuts through the noise with purpose. It’s not about revenge — it’s about resurrection. For anyone who’s been broken and blamed, this is the sound of standing in your fire and refusing to fall. 🔥🖤🩸

If you have ever been in a place where it's so dark in your mind that their's absolutely no way out!
Then, you'll also know what this song means to me and hopefully to you as well!

The feeling of knowing that you have done something wrong but you couldn't help it and then the feeling of having to punish yourself but never knowing when it's enough or for whom the this punishment is actually for.

So some people say, "forgive and forget", but when something gets so deep into your head that you can't forgive yourself or forget because it's constantly rolling in your mind as if it had a life of it's own.

The judgment you placed on yourself is greater than any centence a Cort or a judge could ever place upon you, because not being free in your mind is much worse then being looked up for something, because there, you always have someone else to share it with!

Caring yourself on your own shoulders and the weight is just getting heavier and heavier is the message I'm trying to bring!

There's always light in the tunnel. Sometimes, it's just really far away!

Welcome and thanks for listening.. 

Composer of guitar instrumentals from Australia, producng music & film from the home studio in my spare time purely for enjoyment.

Inspired by some of the guitar greats & instrumental bands from the 60's and 70's era. 
I produce mostly original instrumental guitar tracks. a few covers & tributes, and involved in the odd collaboration.

In the spirit of the old Classic Soundcloud, please feel free to leave a comment or like.. would be greatly appreciated. In recent years it's been difficult to leave timeline comments possibly due to some AI issue, but i will certainly try to return by mutual interaction where possible.

To family, followers, friends and Soundcloud, thanks for all the support and inspiration over the years and hopefully many more to come.
Thanks for dropping by and I hope you enjoy the music.
