Bad Boy - 1

Copyright upload for Be Gone.  2nd in the Matchhead series - Live recording. About the assassination of Bad Boy - but what of human nature?  Needs background synth wash - 'quiet' drums and gentle Bass.', Multiple voices in chorus. Lead fills - on acoustic guitar - nice. Messing about with vocal ideas too. 

Be Gone - 2

Matchhead - 3

Here's a work in progress showing how Bad Boy is intended to work out. Still needs drums (Pink Floyd esque as per 'Dogs of War'), lead fills and more complex bass line. But this gives an idea of where it will be going. Think felt rather than heard.  ;-)

This track Click! is about the split second when you get home and think about the loss of your loved one to someone else just before you open the door. How in a moment of insane passionate love your would sort out this other person who has stolen your love away. In a  James Bond / Jason Borne kind of way. Crazy, but that's what love is. Then the relief when your love is still there.

Working on the frontline during Covid 19 is stressful.
One Brisbane GP Dr John Marsden has coped with this stress by writing and recording a song with his music buddy Pete Hill.  All done in  home studios, swapping files on line. 

The song is silly in the extreme, with many cringe-worthy musical jokes. It is dreadfully catchy and two listenings can leave you forever humming the hook line. 
There is no pretence that this a good song, only a light hearted fun way of coping with the dreadful stress of working on the front line during the Covid 19 pandemic. 

John said 'Normally my songs are re-written 10 or 15 times before they are finished. This one only got to version 2, and that was only because version 1 was rude.'  

'Start to finish took only a week' says Pete. 
'And it shows!' says John 

Dr John Marsden is a North Brisbane GP, a part time enthusiastic musician and supporter of live music. 

Pete Hill is an accomplished semi professional lead guitar player and musician. Unfortunately John Marsden is his doctor.
