This is a song I did for RPM 2011. I didn't really finish that album - there were only two tracks that I would consider complete, fully realised songs, and this is one of them.

Chasing Ghosts

Hey my girl won't you fly your kite, does it all seem so easy when it stays in flight?
When the wind blows, don't let go, don't let go.
Hey my boy won't you come inside? 
When the monsters come we can run and hide, through the window.
Whisper low, Whisper low.

Who will hold your hand, when others have left you?
Who will keep your pretty things? Whisper low.
Who will wipe away your tears, and talk away the night?
Who will tell you everything, when everything's alright?

Hey my love won't you take my hand?
Can I ask you a question? Do you understand where the days go?
Ebb and flow, ebb and flow.
Empty house and an empty heart, and I keep my kite where the monsters are.
Like a widow chasing ghosts, chasing ghosts.

Chasing Ghosts [Mix 6]

Here's a rough mix of the second song I am recording for RPM 2012
Lots of little things that need to be fixed, but I don't want to mess with it right now.
You get the idea.

RPM 2012 Song 2 Demo [Rough Mix]

Here is a demo of a song, the skeleton of which I couldn't get out of my head for a week. It was driving me mad, so I had to record it. It took a few twists and turns in the recording process, and eventually I had a bunch of parts I could jam together to make a song.

Updated: New mix, altered arrangement. I'll probably leave it as it is until I feel like recording this properly. Comments welcome!

Blind [Demo]

This was done on a whim once the whole 'Double Rainbow' meme hit. I did a quick demo and liked the sound of it, and it was simple and ridiculous, so I convinced myself to record a whole song. My friends liked it, and we uploaded it to YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puj78z8u1Rk).

There have been a few requests for tabs, which I will get around to doing at some point. The song is in the key of E, and you should get by (for a start) with the following chords (from memory):

Intro:
E------E/Eb------C#m

Verse:
I saw today, double rainbows all the way, all the way across the sky.
E----C#/Eb-C#m---Abm----------A--------C#m---------Abm
Against the grey, double rainbows all the way, so intense, and so bright
E ---------C#/Eb--C#m--Abm--------A------C#m---------A---Ab

Chorus:
Double Rainbows all the way!
A------E--------------C#--Ab

Post-Chorus:
Across the sky...
A---------B----

The rest of the song is made up of these basic parts.

I will post a proper tab if people really want it - the only real parts to be spelled out would be the single note stuff happening in the verse, the bends in the chorus, and the solo. Perhaps it would be more fun to work out these on your own anyway ;)

Feel free to download it. Mash it up. Cover it in a polka band. Play it loud at parties. Remix it Rap-Stylezz. Play it at funerals, births, weddings, whatever.

Double Rainbow (All The Way)

Mix 1
This one was done in three hours. An additional three hours was probably spent fixing up all the mistakes and timing problems, because it was recorded so hastily.
