@ "Ratha Gud" from http://dmcworld.net
"This stunning piece comes drizzled with contemporary Tech sounds and is beautifully coloured with gorgeous melodies, Latin tinged undercurrents and emotional piano hooks that whisk us of to daydream central – a really stunning piece of work!"

@ http://audiodrums.com
"Driving beat that has a hypnotic quality to it off set by a piano riff and other synths.  For fans of Orbital and Underworld"

@ http://ihouseu.com
"Adorned with contemporary Tech, yet oozing with graceful balearic charm, ‘Avilo’ is coloured with gorgeous melodies, Latin fused grooves and warming piano hooks. Very beautiful indeed!"

THEY WANNA BE YEAH, YEAH, YE YE YEAH

You said you were a voice of distinction
You never said what you’re thinking, whatcha drinking?
We had to make a selection
Based on lack of direction, introspection
Look at all the love island people
They want to be painted
They want to be hung
And come and see all of the others 
They want to be yeah, yeah ye ye yeah

You said you were a girl for the future
Your university tutor became neuter
Sailed away from the mainland
Even played for a rock band
Burnt your feet on the sand
Danced with all of the locals
Who had business proposals
Tattoos and steeples, eyebrows and needles
You looked at their downloads 
They want to be yeah, yeah ye ye yeah

We always tell them it’s free
But it’s not freedom
They might live in Poundland
But they pay too much
Robbers and bankers
Pissoirs and crappers
Polluting the single river of love
They look to each other
At our sister and brother all singing
Just like the land and the sea (land of the free)
You can heat up the airspace
We might wish for the stars
But we don’t get too much
The do’ers and seekers
In their wellies and sneakers
Wading through the widening river of blood
We call to each other
At our sister and brother 
All singing
Yeah, yeah ye yeah!

We told them all that they were survivors 
Subscribers and tigers, fighters and snipers
They all wanted in on the action 
Climbed inside our contraption, sought satisfaction
We always tell them it’s freedom
But it aint freedom when you’re out in the cold
The kids, mum’s, dad’s and the hopeless
They want to be yeah, yeah ye ye yeah
Guaranteed for the future 
Powered by wireless 
Victims on radar, au revoir
Order all of your favourites 
The lost and the dreary they wanna be yeah, yeah ye ye yeah
They wanna be yeah, yeah ye ye yeah, they wanna be yeah, yeah ye ye yeah

You said you were a voice of distinction
You never said what you’re thinking, so whatcha singing for?

LET ME CLEAN YOUR GUN

Me and you we used to have some fun girl
Now your gonna leave and break me all apart 
Well let’s keep it classy if you’re gonna shoot me through the heart
Cos if I’m your murder victim
Let me clean your gun

Oil it up 
I’ll clean your gun
Oil it up 
I'll clean your gun

When we went out it was always with a bang girl
So funny that it ends the very same way
Well let me get dressed up and die young and pretty for you honey
Cos if I’m your latest target
Let me clean your gun

You talk like you had thought about it
But even when you brought about it
I was not so sure that you were talking straight or aiming straight
But now the conversations pointed 
Let me clean that gun you dirty girl
Yeah!

Set your sights a little higher, one in the barrel or one up the spout, 
If we could maybe talk a little more we could just work it out
But lets not use that trigger thang
Yer 'cos if I’m your murder victim
Let me clean that gun you dir-dirty girl
Yeah!

(LET ME) CLEAN YOUR GUN

LET ME CLEAN YOUR GUN

Following an online conversation I had had about keeping first vocal takes; ie keeping it real: I hadn't even really worked out how to sing this! It was first thing in the morning hence the un-oiled larynx on the opening phrase, so it was down to feeling my way through! Be gentle, but only For Awhile...

FOR AWHILE

Waiting to feel better
But time can hold me down
What’s the point of colour
If all we do is glance
Is there joy in being cared for
When all they do is pass
Our thoughts are just our own
We only write a few down
Yeah and tomorrow always comes
For awhile, for awhile
Write some music
Have a laugh
Laugh at me
Laugh at you
All you do is glance
And tomorrow always comes
For awhile, for awhile...
The morrow always comes
For awhile, for awhile

FOR AWHILE

I pictured this whilst watching the powerful river swirl and push unstoppably onwards beneath the bridge... 
(There's a fugal element inspired by the rolling surface coruscations)

THE THAMES BY NIGHT

The Thames By Night

I DON'T FEEL RIGHT!

Well I woke up this morning and I was sick on the dog
Sick on the cat and sick in the bog
I don’t feel right! 
Yeah, Lordy Lord!
I don’t feel right! 
Oooh my soul!
I took a little something to avoid the derision
It ain't had much effect 'cept on my vision
WTF was that?!?
Please don’t leave me! (alone)
Yeah I don’t feel right!

I woke up this morning and I was sick on the dog
Sick on the cat and sick in the bog 
I took a little something from the baby sitter
It aint done nothin, but it sure taste bitter
Please don’t leave me! (alone)
I don’t feel right!
Please don’t leave me!  (alone)
I don’t feel right!

(More than inspired by my sojourn with The Mosquitos: 

“This isn’t  having much effect”
(1... 2... 3...)
“DON’T LEAVE ME!!!”

We were in bits... 🤣🤣🤣 )

I DON'T FEEL RIGHT

Write A Song About It - Video link: http://youtu.be/3fbwXZqaOOM

I looked out the window
It was the same as yesterday
I had a feeling 
It was the same as yesterday
The news doesn’t cheer me up, and the wind is turning cold
It looks like some more good men, are going to fold
Our faith is leaving us and no-one seems to care
Belief is rationed now; it’s a meagre fare
And what are we gonna do about it?
I’m gonna write a song about it tomorrow
And what are we gonna do about it?
I’m gonna write a song about it 
Tomorrow

I played guitar all night
Just the same as yesterday
I turned up the amp real loud
But no-one came to say; "turn that down!"
Things have got tough around here and the rain may never stop
All the fishing’s gone to hell; so has the crop
The town’s full of strangers, I don’t recognise the place
All our friends have moved away; I guess we missed the race
And what are we gonna do about it?
I’m gonna write a song about it tomorrow
 
I took a drive around town
The same as yesterday
Had way too much to drink last night
Just the same as today 
I’m not getting older, just colder in the heart
I'm not getting wiser anymore, I just don’t take part
The world is changing and there's not much space for me
I could build a rocketship, maybe that’s the place to be
And what am I gonna do about it?
I’m gonna write a song about it tomorrow

Write A Song About It

Write A Song About It (+Video link)

!!!HOT NEWS!!! New Valuable Friends vinyl album and CD available! ALSO 2nd Deluxe CD+Booklet "Songs That Mean Something" See links below. 

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...

My music is on most platforms for your ease.

Wow!!  417K+ plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends on SC alone, 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), 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, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples.

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open headphones) when not making a bigger noise through my Yamaha HS8 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 will compose with, play guitar for, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please ask!

P.S. I am a long standing member of the Performing Rights Society and PPL through my old TV and theatre work as well as my record and publishing deals.
