Perhaps a bit more scribbles from the heart on a post-it.. thank you for this beautiful song 🌷

awesome ! Such a good energy in a slow timing, letting all feelings emerge.

My God, I haven’t listened to this in TOO long. One of the my absolute faves of yours.

Spectacular songwriting, gorgeous music and mindblowing vocals. Apart from that, this song is great : )

Amazing piece from start to finish.... the ending sums up stunningly well ! Piece of genius writing

thank you lovely Lizzie (@lizzieandrews) and special K (@monnodb) for the talking and whispering

Saw a sign on a closed shop door it read
shut happens sometimes
made me smile for quite a while what do they say
little things please little minds
guess thats me down to a T im just a simple man
finding my way

Oh life seems inscrutable when youre analogue in a digital world
so much i dont understand at all cant get a handle on it

I was bought up to treat all those i meet
how id like to be treated myself.....and dad would say
at the end of the week pay all your bills then stick half away
save for a rainy day
how i miss all the sweet loving bliss of our family home
still dream about it

Oh life seems inscrutable when youre analogue in a digital world
so much i dont understand at all cant get a handle on it
when respect is earnt with a gun or a knife and not when you
love and care for the kids and your wife
and the only thing that matters is the gathering of wealth
what the hell...is going on its all going wrong.

Shut Happens

Done in the style of one of my all time favourite old bands, Pink Floyd.

Really wanted to have a strong emotional guitar, so I a found a couple chords I liked and did some finger picking trying to emphasize the base note. I listened over and over once I had got the sound out of the guitar I wanted and tried to fit lyrics in that would give it a unique and relaxing sound. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:

Open your eyes
See the darker sides
Of me

Don’t be afraid
I won’t bite
Today

But if you need
Something from me
I would give it to you

Because
You’re just
So Beautiful

My brain Can’t
Comprehend this
I don’t know if
I can’t stand this

Pain
So much pain


Pain
So much pain
I can’t refrain
Close your eyes
See the brighter sides
Of us

I know I can
Cause fear
But please 
I need you near

But if you need
To run from me
I would understand

Because 
You’re Just
So Fragile

My Mind Can’t
Contain this
I just know that 
We should end this

Pain
So much pain
Pain
So much pain
I can’t refrain

So Much Pain

Feelings

Imortal Shrine update

Wallowing in the warmth of lower mids and melancholic melody.
Recorded, mixed and mastered on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio using vintage gear gathered over many years.


Take a large bucket. Add a pint of Neil Young, a pinch of Glen Hansard. Wack in a tea spoon of Damien Rice, then an ickle bit of Tom Mcrae. Shove in a hand full of Mike Scott, a heaped table spoon of Neil Finn and a large dollop of Conor J. O'Brien. Mix with a big stick then strain through an old sock. Pour. What you have is a little bit of Mr C.

Hello good people of the cloud.
I play everything in real time and record and master on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio. Although three of the older songs on here where recorded on a 8 track tape recorder through an old seck analogue desk.
No pc's are used or abused in the process of me music making. I love tactile recording. Switches, faders, pots and buttons. Mouses are for computers and eating cheese. No Mac, Daws or Windows, Midi or overused plugins. And no automated mixing, compromise being a large part of my final sound.

Hope you enjoy some of the music that I make, please feel free to share and comment.

I now have another page, link below, of songs recorded from 1999 to 2012 on an 8 track tape machine.
