how 80's (Ive taken a lot of the synth parts out of the song though)

hey  what  a  great  remake !!! -------excellent

Strangely similar vocal melody on "Cheap 'N' Cheesy" by Carter USM now I think about it. Cool song :-)

Wow how good is this version of a great song love it.

Nice synth and guitar work. I'm such a sucker for it,

wow!! stunning version of a great song brilliant

@chris-parfitt-4: thank you Chris. One of my first home guitar recordings

"Who will have won when the soldiers have gone?" - this famous lyric kept popping in my head after the UK decided to send troops to the Middle East recently. We added this cover to our set and this is a recording I made to work out the arrangement.  On this recording I play all the instruments and I confess I have the bass turned up way loud!

"Lebanon" by the Human League, covered by Zara

an Acoustic version of my song "Here I Fell" done in tribute to the fallen of World War 1 and World War 2


Here I fell
the world so cold and distant
shells drop all around me
cordite in the air
there's screaming now
there's desperation
a longing to get back home
explosions force us back
to our tunnels of cold despair

Here I lie
forever lost in time
marked in white without a name
here I lie
there's sadness now
but days turn to years
our medals mean little now
a relic left to be sold on

overhead the rumble of 
the tanks above
pray we won't be buried alive
in the dirt

all the fields sway in the wind
what was once cold and dark
is now sweet and red

the history here
the ghosts of the heroes 
that were taken away
far too young for our future

Like The English Sea

Like The English Sea - Zara

you, you will see the bodies lurking at the door
noticing my displaced composeur

plastic melting to your feet
you become one to the beat
but its typewriters clicking in my head

and to me you dont look human
not even a bit of substance will grace you
on and on just dont let go

actionman goggles bought from the poundshop
on a comedown put them on like me and..
you, you will see the bodies lurking at the door
noticing my displaced composeur

just take the gun and take a breath
bang bang , youre dead, lying motionless on the dance floor
the orchestra will burn from side to side inside my head
it goes da na na da na i just want to kill the sound
of the fake plastic drumbeats in my head

drop your body to the beat
circle to the smell of innocence
and taste the blood thats sticking to my hands

i have an image of you screaming 
in pain as i was on the dancefloor
tell me ,were you waiting for me
when i had this gun put in my hands

and its like a 1960s disco
you were playing around with your hair
you will see that i am now armed
but i'll be on the dancefloor
weilding my gun
shooting everyone to the infectious 
melody of the screams in my head 
you will see the bodies lurking at the door
so spin around now youre mine
youve never noticed my displaced disposition
on the dancefloor da daaa

Outside

Tim Woodbridge - Outside

This is a song about forgetting people's names! I do this all the time. I wrote this song and play all the instruments on this recording made at Hackney Rd Studios London. Would really appreciate it if you could give it a listen, and any comments/feedback is very welcome, as I want to move on to an album next, (rather daunting). It's track one from my debut EP "Breakables", a few copies remaining on CD here: https://zaramusic.co.uk/cd-orders/   or grab them when at our Zara (Band) gigs. Many thanks x

Bad With Names

I took a few recordings of telemarketers, from a placeholder voice mail website. I manually manipulated the audio by copying and pasting, added reverb, reverse effects, time stretching, overdrive and other weird things – and it all came out glitchier than I thought it would. Very happy with the results. Made for an upcoming concept album I'm working on with a friend...

Lost Too Far

Singer and Songwriter from South London gigging with my band Zara.  With a bass on my hip, everything sprouts from the rhythm section upwards. My music has been likened to the Kills, Bowie, Sonic Youth, Nirvana (I am deeply flattered!). On here are some demos and self-produced songs that I end up playing with my band Zara in the toilet circuit of London and beyond. Please visit  www.facebook.com/listenzara and "like" the page if you would be so kind. 
My aim is to perform live as much as possible - you cannot beat the live experience. I will suck your souls and make them into new songs :D
