Life, Death And Dennis Hopper

Golf, They Say

This song ended up being bigger than my talent at the time and it always made me over emotional because of what it was about. In hindsight, it was capable of a lot more, but the bones are there. That's why producers across the world still have jobs. As with all of these songs, there's a great backstory to the lyrics. 
The more of these songs I upload, the more I want to go back into a real studio and work on them with somebody who knows what they are doing.

I'm a writer of words now, but twenty odd years ago, I was determined to make it as a rock star... everybody here must have felt that way at some point. Anyway, I recorded a 12 track demo album on a four track piece of crap with just a 12 string and a friend who came along sporadically to load some bass onto it. The first thing I learned was that I am no producer. The second thing I learned was that maybe I am pretty good as a songwriter. Recently been considering going back into the studio and doing this properly, so thought I would load some material up here and see what the feedback was like - mostly from the songs perspective, Be gentle...
