What a perfect song choice, sung with such skill!

Very soothing vocal delivery! The acoustics and your voice blend so well

Perfect! Thank you for reminding me if this lovely song. Such a beautiful delivery.

I recently renovated this one. An instrumental, with moments where you can tap along, and slower reflective moments. It signifies the ebb and flow of a workday. So I named it Working Day!

Working Day

Rabbit Rock

On The Other Side Of The Mirror

with the congregation on acoustic bass
Recorded at fredrick street studios and bowling alley

Them’s the breaks 

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life intends
Would hope seem sweeter 
Would fate feel fair
To rob Peter
With no Paul to care

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life demands 
It ain’t money 
And class is lame
What it is
You get to name

Them’s the breaks
The horse you saddle
Like a snake without a rattle
Dropping down from the sky
Like an anvil
You’re up yer life
Without a paddle 

Take what we want 
Not what we need
Steal a glacier for just a drink
Sell them rope when they sink
Screw the others
We’re taught to think

them's the breaks w/ the congregation

Just a fleeting memory - Chiaroscuro (Un fugace ricordo)

This is a tune for wind band instruments. I used to play some very ragged slide trombone parts in two wind bands.

The insistent bass-line suggested a mechanical device to me. We haven't heard from the tuk-tuk since it was on the autobahn, so it reappears now in the north of England in the shadow of the famous Angel Of The North sculpture.

Brass band sounds often evoke impressions of the historic industrial UK northland to English minds.

Tuk-tuk In The North

Not sure what this is…. 
It’s kinda rock, soul ? 
Anyway … it’s here ..

Waves

Another low-fi recording from around 2014, although the song itself was written in 2001 as a reaction to the collapse of the World Trade Center. Quite what my lyrics have to do with that terrible day, I'm not too sure now, but I like the track, so here it is. 

Lyrics
Traffic lights are changing daily
Up and down this fine, fine land
But there’s no one crossing over
‘less they’re holding somebody’s hand

Fear and consternation baby
Are gripping this fine, fine land
No one dares to watch the TV  
‘less they’re holding somebody’s hand

I saw you shy, I saw you try to hide
I saw you hesitate, unable to decide …  
To come inside … please come inside

Oh Fat Betty caught the night train
Though it wasn’t even in her plan
They found her dead inside the train wreck
Holding onto somebody’s hand

I saw you shy, I saw you try to hide
I saw you hesitate, unable to decide …  
To come inside … please come inside

Traffic lights are changing daily
Up and down this fine, fine land
But there’s no one crossing over
‘less they’re holding somebody’s hand

Keeping it raw and simple.

There is so much noise around us, and if you don’t take time and listen, you might miss out on greatness - or the tiny little thing that made a difference.
