My Beautiful Mummy Singing

A demo I did some time ago in Scotland in Perth studios. So far I've have been forwarded to a record company by an A&R representative for a deal. and Arrabella and She Blew Me Away was what I sent in. Apparently they liked it. I was never confident about this demo or sharing it. I plan to make some changes to it as It will be part of my up and coming EP of late 2012.

Hard Truth Country

We're moving through hard truth country
Crossed the border, there's no turning back
The only view in hard truth country
Is not out the window
It's up and down the track
And I don't know if we're going to like it much here
They don't suffer fools, despise the insincere
Yeah I don't know, shouldn't ought to have come this far
Sometimes we meet someone, forget who we are

We're moving through hard truth country
Already I can hear the lies that we tell
What do you do in hard truth country
When we can't get the
Story straight between ourselves?

No I won't dance around your birthday cake all year round 
No I won't big you up to make you meaner looking down
No I won't walk three paces behind whoever you think you are in your mind
No you can be precious to yourself in your own precious time
And I won't carry your bags to free you up to skip along
I won't genuflect, I won't put those clothes on

We're moving though hard truth country
Crossed the border, there's no turning back

Hard Truth Country

Week 50 from the 'weekly noise' project, a tune a week for the whole of 2011.

I've had a lot to think about this week. This is a song about fragments of thoughts n feelings that just seem to wash up like driftwood.
The image is a piece of driftwood I found on Morecambe Bay, it reminded me of Van Gogh's Starrey Night

Guitar,
Strings,
Vibes,
Piano,
Bass.

मेरे दोस्त शांति पाते हैं. तुम हमारे दिल को शांति दे दी. नोटों की एक कविता, पंडित

Mērē dōsta śānti pātē haiṁ. Tuma hamārē dila kō śānti dē dī. Nōṭōṁ kī ēka kavitā, paṇḍita

Find peace my friend. You gave peace to our hearts. A poetry of notes, Pandit.

I'm an Irish singer/songwriter and my influences range from the beatles, early day kinks to the more current and contemporary artists such as the fleet foxes, Ray LaMontagne and Devendra Banhart.

''It has such a good feel to it, and is just completely infectious.'' Taxi A&R - Song - She Blew Me Away

''from the image laden verses to the simple title/refrain, which works beautifully the song is compelling and I just wanna play it again as soon as it ends.'' Taxi A&R - She Blew me Away

''The songs have a cool vibe and feature ironic, entertaining and personal lyrics. The capable and, at times, idiosyncratic, lead vocals suit the material well. The musicianship is solid and fitting and the production sounds good overall.'' Taxi A&R - Songs She Blew Me away and Arrabella
