Based around an acoustic riff, the song is about how a wave can be the start, or the end of something, and maybe a chance to start again. Produced by Shael Wrinch at Stone Hill studios on Bowen Island, B.C. Chris Herbsen on vocals, Shael doing harmonies and more of that great slide guitar. 
Lyrics:
She waved to say hello, she waves to say goodbye
She left a scent of faint perfume, and clouds in a sunny sky.
Coffee stains and magazines, and a space where she used to lie.
We're livin' here on shifting sands and we're left to wonder why.

I could have stared for hours and hours
at footprints in the sand
It took a wave beyond my powers
to help me understand 
that life come in waves.

Children's laughter fills the room. I hear her laugh and sing.
Faces stored in a picture frame can't beat the real thing.
What's been lost and what's been found, and what we hope to gain
is all that matters in the end, not teardrops in the rain.

I could have stared...

DANCING IN THE DARK
Dancing in the dark
Watching all the sparks of heavy sound
Pressed up to the night
Waiting for the light, waiting for the light
Waiting for the light to hit the ground

Walking down the street
Soaking up the heat of Blue Soul Sound
Pressed up to the night
Waiting for the light, waiting for the light
Waiting for the light to hit the ground

I gotta hear, I gotta see
I gotta set the rhythm free
Gotta, gotta, gotta get around
Gotta get around, get around

Dancing in the dark
Watching all the sparks of heavy sound
Pressed up to the night
Waiting for the light, waiting for the light
Waiting for the light to hit the ground

Walking down the street
Soaking up the heat of Blue Soul Sound
Pressed up to the night
Waiting for the light, waiting for the light
Waiting for the light to hit the ground

I gotta hear, I gotta see
I gotta set the rhythm free
Gotta, gotta, gotta get around
Gotta get around, get around

Gotta get around
Put my soul into the sound
Gotta hear, gotta see
Gotta set the rhythm free
Gotta get around
Put my soul into the sound
Gotta hear, gotta see
Gotta set the rhythm free

Dancing in the dark
Watching all the sparks of heavy sound
Pressed up to the night
Waiting for the light, waiting for the light
Waiting for the light to hit the ground

Walking down the street
Soaking up the heat of Blue Soul Sound
Pressed up to the night
Waiting for the light, waiting for the light
Waiting for the light to hit the... ground

Fun Facts:
Dancing in the Dark was originally written and performed by Alien Heat.
This song is in the key of Bm and the tempo is 131 BPM.
This is arguably the least intellectually challenging set of lyrics Pete ever wrote!
When Pete was referring to this song, he generally called it "Farting in the Park".
Richard's original keyboard riffs are actually played on guitar during the verses.
The guitar parts are played on the Ice Maiden.
In Alien Heat, this was the song where Graham played a drum solo, during which the rest of the band would roll and light cigarettes, or perhaps something a little stronger, before he brought them back in with a big drumroll.
Sven's drumming in this version is rather magnificent and he acknowledges the aforementioned drum solo with a short groovy drum break.
Josh replicated Richard's keyboard solo.
We double tracked it in the end after recording 20 or 30 takes and chose the best two because the synth just wouldn't quite behave itself.

Fun Facts:
* George had made friends with a Hungarian man called Floyd who showed him a new chord from a Portuguese sea shanty.
* The mystery chord is Bm11b5.
* It is played by holding the A and G strings on the second fret with the first and second fingers, and the D and B strings on the third fret using the third and fourth fingers, with the hi-E open and the lo-E muted.
* The other two chords in the song were A minor and E.
* When George was headhunted by the MD of the company Floyd worked for, Floyd gave him a copy of Mario Puzzo’s book The Godfather, and wrote ‘Welcome to the family!’ inside the front cover.
* Obviously this piece could have no other name.
* Welcome to the Family is in the key of A minor.
* The tempo for this tune is 98.0035 BPM.
* Emma recorded an extra part on the keys that was not used in the end.
* The Stratocaster enters to play rhythm on the second verse.
* The Ice Maiden takes the twin lead parts at the end.
* Some trombone was also planned, but there were no players around at the time, so the final mix remains without it.

Flicker: Welcome to the Family

Bo Mac have been working on this album for a year. It has been a cathartic experience where real people have brought their lives onto tape. The album's energy charts highs and lows and ends with a thunderstorm. Big numbers like 'It's Us Against the World' are balanced by gentler tunes like 'I Remember You', in which you are enveloped by warm vocals and bending guitar notes, soaring and settling. Its inspiration is from the rock and roll bands of the 70s, but a modern edge and millennial vigour has come from the band's members gigging and jamming in Camden's pubs and bars. The band consists of three siblings and their friends. They hope that you enjoy this album; and that it speaks loudly. Keep Glam and Rock on Bo Mac.

a deeply personal song about almost losing someone close to me, and coming to terms with that.  something i don’t ever want to re-live, but it made me love them so much more.  more than i ever thought possible.

lyrics:

don't say you love me - or that you want me now...
don't say you want me - or that you love me now...

never been this high
i'm scared of heights
i'm scared of falling down.
never in this life
have i swam in sunlight
i'm scared i'm gonna drown.

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...

just say you love me - and that you want me now...
just say you want me - and that you love me now...

close the door
and hold me tight...
don't ever let me go
when i saved your life
you saved me from myself...
don't let that go...

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...

A Fucked Up Lovesong

Hi, thanks for coming.
If you follow here please follow @tinnedpeaches as well

Here are songs I've written, from recording sessions that span continents, a lot of bad hair - not that many takes but a lot of pushing faders.

I’ve worked as a dep musician, now in family group @tinnedpeaches (https://www.tinnedpeaches.co.uk).

I’m a massive fan of SoundCloud and it’s community, we all have vast sonic backdrops in our lives and I’ve spent a lot of time in this garden. Finding like minded, creative people world over keeps me focused on what I can bring to the table. There are an awful lot of guitars in cash converters nowadays. Let’s keep the faith. I’m up for collaborations.

For eclectic, grassroots soundcloud, dive into my “wicked finds” playlist. Lot of wonderful music in there, which tends to get picked up. (Find it there before the curve!)

Worked on London based disco project @godoflondon. Director of UCL jazz soc show and Rare.fm host. 

Co-founder of Skinnyman Records with brother Fred. 

'World Service' & 'Trance Dance' available via PinkDolphinMusic from fleeting phase DJing eastern-electronica. (Link below).
