Never is another one of those songs that suffered from my vocals and as such never saw the light of day. Here we have resurrected it with new vocals and a whole new piano-based arrangement.  Apparently there are a lot of things that I will NEVER do! We hope you like this little ditty.  If so, please hit the Like button and let others know about what we're up to. Thanks for having a listen. Cheers

Never (Sterling)

This is a slightly different take on Never (Sterling).  Rather than a keyboard solo, I break out the distorted electric guitar.  Also, this take includes a strummed 12 string acoustic to fill out teh sound.  Let us know which version you prefer.  Thanks for having a listen!  

Never - Take 2 (Sterling)

One final take on the song "Never".  In this version, we approach it as a straight ahead rock song.  We had fun with each of these recordings, coming at the same song from a slightly different angle.  We only did this with this song, because we think it's a fun song to play.  We hope you think it's a fun song to listen to.

Never - Rock Version (Sterling)

Crying For You was first recorded with my tortured vocals maybe 1-2 years ago.  We've just re-recorded the whole thing, shortened it a little, but most importantly gave the song the vocals it deserved. Crying For You is a ballad that floats like a boat on a gentle river.  We hope you like this newest (and almost final - the vault is almost empty) entry.  It's been fun revisiting these songs and seeing whether they stood up to closer scrutiny (many did not and will stay in the vault where they belong). Thanks for having a listen and joining us on this ride.  Please hit the Like button and repost if you like what we're doing. Cheers.

Crying For You (Re Recorded)

Years ago I watched a movie called Threads that portrayed the consequences of nuclear war in the 1980s.  It is a powerful, disturbing movie that led me to write the song presented here. The lyrics seem to be as sadly relevant today as they once were. I'd say this is the only overtly political song that I've written with the remainder dealing with typical topics of lament.  Please have a listen and if you like what you've heard, hit that Like button and let others know about our work. Cheers

Threads 2025 (Remix)

Long Ago and Far Away started life as an acoustic ballad that emerged from my attempts to learn how to play Wild Horses correctly in open G tuning. It's a slow-paced, melancholy ballad that reminisces on the past. We recently decided to revisit the original recording (which is available here) and see if we could improve on earlier efforts.  Emily provided the vocal template for this reimagining.  We hope you like it. As always, thanks for stopping by to have a listen.  If you like what you've heard, we'd really appreciate you hitting the Like Button!!!!  Cheers.

Long Ago and Far Away (Sterling)

Makes No Difference has been sitting around waiting to be finished for a few months.  I just got around to writing some typically cryptic lyrics that don't say much of any thing but feel insightful :).  Em kicks this one into high gear and the band hits a slow groove that features my guitar work.  Overall, a very nice bluesy track.  We hope you like this little ditty.  As always, thanks for having a listen.  If you like what you've heard, please hit that Like button and repost.  Cheers.

Makes No Difference  (Sterling)

A slightly abbreviated version of Makes No Difference that's been edited a touch for clarity. Makes No Difference is a biting pop/rock song that features a catchy hook over a swing groove.  Here we have reordered some elements to streamline the tune.  We hope you like this take on the song.  If you do, please let others know by hitting the Like button.  Thanks for having a listen.

Makes No Difference (Version 2)

The title, Just a Little Taste of Your Love, pretty much says it all.  A straight ahead rock song with all the basic Stonesy elements.  The vocals kick it into high gear!  Songs been sitting in the vault for a year or so and we finally got around to ditching my vox and let a real singer belt it.  We hope you like this little ditty.  If you do, please hit the Like button and let others know!!!  Cheers

Just a Little Taste (Sterling)

In a Minute was a moody instrumental track for a while with a title and not much else lyrically. Over the last couple of weeks I started to come up with a series of lines that seemed to fit the music and got the team together and cut this new version which is a lot more fun and upbeat than my original demo (which I might post for shits and giggles!).  Well. we hope you like this new little song.  If you do, please hit that Like button and repost so others can learn about us.  Thanks for having a listen. Cheers.

In a Minute (Remix)

A songwriting/recording project initiated to focus on the writing talents of Robert Sterling as well as several very talented collaborators/singers.  Older, wiser and definitely better, Sterling and colleagues continue to pump out irresistibly catchy pop/rock/alternative tunes.
