Games People Play

Originally this was planned to be worked on as a b-side to my Blind Leading the Blind single.... what I took from it however was the lyrical influence my tracks on my Songs of Our Times LP took... this track pretty much shaped the ideas I was gonna commit on that LP.

Open Your Eyes - (UNRELEASED DEMO)

This song was originally a folk song and much longer... in this version the song was more a traditional folk piece retelling the story of a girl I encountered in London one night.

I later shortened and Electrified the track to become 'Sign Of The Times' on my "Songs of our times" LP

Win Or Lose

Originating from the wild depths of West Sussex; Paul Messis is a singer-songwriter who writes and creates authentic 60s styled garage songs which perfectly suit as a soundtrack, the zeitgeist of his society and generation.

While he may be a new face to some, or perhaps a self-described 'unknown', the fact of the matter is Paul and his songs are the real deal!

Paul encapsulates many different styles of the garage genre in his songs and music, whilst still sounding new and fresh, songs written from the heart with a hint of personal influence and emotion, all in all making Paul Messis one of the lost great songwriters of his generation and the current underground music scene.
