That's right, I have a new axe...a Schecter. I never even considered one before. But, I saw great reviews(and it cost 1/3 the price my Les Paul) so I picked one up. I wrote this epic instrumental to give it a test drive. I cut the drum loops (and gave them that big 80s feel), used my LPs for the rhythm guitars, played bass, layered harmonies of the Schecter's sweet, singing tone for the chorus and let 'er rip on some lead and Floyd Rose dive bombs. Such a fun guitar to play!

Tell Me All About It

This is a song about breaking up with someone who cannot love you for who you are.

Fragile Front

You don't even know enough
You don’t even know
The pieces I have shown
The rest was hiding in the mud

Why was I never enough?
You’d always explode
With every little joke
All the ways I needed to be tough

Don't say you’ll never say that again
Or take back all the love you spent
It's mine, and I'll never give an inch
Just say you loved me for pretend
Hold me, not like when we were friends 
It's fine, everything has an end

Why did you blame me so much?
You would always scold
Until it filled your soul
With everything you took from us

I know I don't need your love
There are times I need
A little more than dreams
That make up your fragile front

Don't say you’ll never say that again
Or take back all the love you spent
It's mine, and I'll never give an inch
Just say you loved me for pretend
Hold me, not like when we were friends 
It's fine, everything has an end

Just say you and me will pretend
We gave everything we could spend
To find, this is the very end

Happy New Year ! This is a bit different , hope you like it !
Well this year it won't be so full on , personal reasons will be limiting my available time to write and record , so I will be moving at a slower pace , which is a bugger but it can't be helped . In the meantime there is a few nearly finished songs and a great completed one with Gaz and Nat , out on the 11th . If you get chance have a listen to a track or three from me and Charlottes album Hopes and Dreams - Charlie and the Fox https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nWWNcrIRv08J_eEbL7MJ_1UTdMo0MjJLM

When the evening comes
And the sun is down
Let your shoulders loose 
Wipe away your frown

For today was a good one
Some sadness and tears
Know at this moment
Stood up to my fears

And when you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long
Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Might never know the reason
Or why it’s like this
All I know
It’s the life that I’ll miss

And when you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long
Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

 When you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long

Till I see you again

Till I see you again

Till I see you again

This ain’t really a song

This Ain’t Really A Song

Initially I thought of "love is the perfect excuse for hatred", but that implies the agent's malice. I believe it's not always the case. We can simply let ourselves be driven by some cognitive biases and ancient basic instincts - hence the title. I finally opted for "love is the perfect ground for hatred". Indeed, we can often justify our hatred to others by declaring them a threat to something we love - from our way of living to cats and dogs...

** Reptilian Brain **

They cared for their children. 
They loved their female companions.
For that love,
they would risk their lives chasing the huge mammoths.
When mammoths became scarce, they soon faced starvation.
Competition from other caverns put at risk their survival.
To save their loved ones, they were bound to kill the others.
But killing others of their own species required more than hunger.
It required enmity.
And so they went to war, 
singing primitive versions of La Marseillaise:
"They're not like us!
Let's save our beloved cavern,
and let their impure blood water our fields!"
Damn!…
It's hard to think celestial while carrying a reptilian brain...
For some dark cognitive reason,
love is the perfect ground for hatred.

Reptilian Brain

Punching Bag (G. Di Nunno)

I looked inside my heart, found it wasn't cold
My head feels quite heavy from bullshit I've been sold
The longer that I gaze, listen to advice
All well-meant with feeling while trying to be nice.

I'm holding all the keys, money down the sink
A beat-down and losing before I even blink
Be positive and smile--Oh, for goodness sake!
I'll stay put and wallow; that's one thing they won't take!

Understand I have to vent
Nothing more than let it out
Sailing smooth a boat comes first
Mine has holes and nothing worse
Than feeling like a punching bag!

Learn to duck
A step a move
Take a punch
Counter strike!
Get knocked down
Get back up
Feel the rage
Knockout blow!
Start the count
Raise my arm
Victory!

In every life you'll wear the dirt
Bear the scratches and the scars
Favored odds with dramatic tales
Doused the flames beneath the stars.

Battered about by endless storms
Credit earned--the grounds soon dry
Yes it's true that it all works out
Look back just to wave good-bye!
