Paul Davies The Night Before Christmas

A lo-fi singalong for popoholics.

My first new material in a while so download, listen on repeat, and check back very soon for some more.  There's plenty to come.

Check out www.youtube.com/user/thedapperman for the video.

"Mine To Keep" by Paul Davies

'Break My Heart, Set Me Free' is taken from the 'If You Only Knew' EP, which is out now on iTunes and plenty other download sites.

Here is Paul's own description of the track:

"I was listening to a lot of The Kinks and The La's and I wanted to get a good rhythm out of an acoustic guitar.  I came up with the riff then played it to Ross and Rob (drummer and guitarist) and it quickly developed a life of its own."

'Guilt Behind Closed Doors' is taken from the 'If You Only Knew' EP, which is out now through Jag. You can find out more on the website: 
www.soundsofjag.co.uk/PaulDavies/IfYouOnlyKnew

Here is Paul's own description of the track:

"This was originally intended as a duet. The lyrics are conversational, but I couldn't get the dialogue to work so recorded the main vocals myself. I was trying to capture the sound of matrimony gone wrong by having an organ playing low minor notes. It's as far from the bridal march as I could get."

'Isobelle, If You Only Knew' is taken from the 'If You Only Knew' EP, which is out now through Jag. You can find out more on the website: 
www.soundsofjag.co.uk/PaulDavies/IfYouOnlyKnew

Here is Paul's own description of the track:

"I wrote this after a drunken night in Notting Hill. I was a with a girl that I’d wanted to ask out for a long time, but in my drunkenness all I could do was stare blankly at her. I never did get to go out with her. But I did get this song out of it so it wasn’t all bad."

'What He Did' is taken from the 'If You Only Knew' EP, which is out now through Jag. You can find out more on the website: 
www.soundsofjag.co.uk/PaulDavies/IfYouOnlyKnew

Here is Paul's own description of the track:

"This is one of the very few times I wrote the lyrics first. I was sat on Brighton beach one cloudy, winter afternoon and the words came out really quickly. Then I went home, picked up my guitar and put it to music straight away. I wish every song was that straightforward!"

What He Did by Paul Davies

'Why Did I Give You My Heart?' is taken from the 'If You Only Knew' EP, which is out soon through Jag. You can find out more on the website: 
www.soundsofjag.co.uk/PaulDavies/IfYouOnlyKnew

Here is Paul's own description of the track:

"This was my attempt at being Burt Bacharach. I dug out an old ‘70’s jacket I inherited from my dad – complete with brass buttons – and sat at my piano like I was the man himself. I always liked the story about Brian Wilson putting his piano in a sandpit so he felt he was by the sea. I guess you could call it method songwriting! This was my eccentric nod to two of my all time heroes."

Why Did I Give You My Heart? by Paul Davies
