Loving the ska like beat variation for your outstanding, more rock based tracks.  Still has its rock guts though.  You guys are so talented.

Lovin' this tune immensely! Rockin' sounding guitars...Awesome vocals...really spectacular...Wonderful melody and ska like groove...Holi Cool XOXOXO

Massively beautiful! Lovin' every bit of this!!! LA DEE DA...YES!!!

Good to hear Ska based music as great groove and love the brass sections in it. The story line is real and that makes it also and adds to a great listen 👍

luv that snare sound-puts me in mind of some of the soundz from bands like The Specials-in any case great track!

An excitingly frantic dance groove with plenty of color and diversity. Hard edged but smooth as a razor! well done once again Phil. Such a great message/story too! Durge

Cool song, Phil!! Cool story!! Great music and production as always!!

The Month Of May

JUST AN INSTINCT

Grew up in the same street
Bound to meet
Kicking cans together
Laughed forever
Went to the same school
Shared some thoughts about life
Growing up was fun and games
Or so we thought

We bought our cars
We went to bars
Laid on the beach 
Life unfurled
Sitting in the park
Watching cricket
'Till it was dark
Then barbecues 
And lemon fools

And when the going got tough, 
You hung on for your life, 
But was it just an instinct?
I don’t think you’d thought it through
I don’t think you wanted to…

And when the going got tough, 
You hung on for your life, 
But was it just an instinct? 
I don’t think you wanted to…
I don’t think you’d thought it through

Then we went to Uni
Kept in touch
Went to gigs
We told the wildest stories
Laughed the hardest laughs
Danced the hardest dances
Trekked the highest paths
Got totally lost
Totally lost

Then I got married
Had two children
Got divorced
Moved away from here
Everybody moves
I’m on my own
With my mobile phone
Looking for clues
Looking for you

And when the going got tough, 
I hung on for dear life, 
But was it just an instinct?
I don’t think I’d thought it through
I don’t think I wanted to…
I don’t think I’ll fall in love… 
Again...
Lah-di-dah-di-dah
Again!
Lah-di-dah-di-dah

WORLD SNAFU

Uxorirous

the red wine is goin' to my head 
and i ought be goin' off to bed
but i'm dreamin' still of 
great things to come 
thinkin' about the time when we'll be 
free from

'n i'm thinking about time 
you were feelin' right
the rain went over your head 
'n left you petrified 
as soon as the winds had called 
to shout out loud 
your new name 
it's hard to see when your shadows nearly fade

can you wake from this one this time

do you remember when we 
were up north ridin' with psychopaths 
oh they carried bottles of blackened 
whatever it was 
they were whacked 
we were there with them a while trapped trapped on
do you reckon we made it thru that night 
just to get back to time 
sweet time

it doesn't figure out
what is

Composer/Guitarist/Producer

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...

Most of my tracks are available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play/YouTube, Amazon, etc, just search for Phil McWalter or follow the link below the track and stream or buy as you wish. 

Wow!!  417K plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends that provide lots of wonderfully helpful comments that fuel the next track! Really big thanks to the SC community for listening and providing such brilliant feedback and support. It means so much to myself and my collaborators - huge thanks.

I work in different styles, as the inspiration, dreams or bubonic plagiarism comes! I use Logic Pro X on Mac.
 
I write, produce and play all my own stuff (unless otherwise stated), 'sing' if unavoidable, play vintage Tokai Strats mainly, PRS Torero, Steinberger, Gretsch G2627T, Classical, Fender Dreadnought, Yamaha and Rickenbacker basses, keyboards and sax. I use Native Instrument's Komplete Ultimate 14, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples. I love Hollow Sun.

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open headphones) when not making a bigger noise through my Mackie studio monitors. I use Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ThunderBolt and Apogee audio interfaces, Neumann & iSK condenser & AKG dynamic mics. 

Hardware: Feb 1978 Marshall JMP 50W Combo, BOO & BOSS stomps

I love collaborating with other musicians and compose with, play guitar for, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please just ask!

P.S. I use SC Repost to publish my work to other stores & streaming services. I am a long standing member of the Performing Rights Society and PPL through my TV and theatre work as well as my record and publishing deals.
