In the Basement

Drink To Me Only With Your Eyes

Original music and lyrics by Stu Mcloughlin. Thanks to @olivertmusic for the guitar solo.

Belated Honeymoon

A song all about the power of dreams. Mostly based on actual dreams I have had. Thanks to Adam Lewis(who is not on Soundcloud) for recording the first demo version of this tune ten years ago (and providing an excellent guitar solo with a cigar box he'd fashioned into a rudimentary guitar!)

These Things Can Happen In Dreams

The Science Room

I auditioned for Emma Rice and Kneehigh by playing this song for her.

Voodoo Doll

Babies

Supernature

China

Will's Intro

Novelty

A track that Will wrote and recorded. I wrote the vocals and guitar and added them later.

That's How You Are

Consolation Prize

A song about being in a relationship with someone who has a drinking problem. I borrowed a section of an Erik Satie melody for the bridge sections.

Solitaire

Don't Drink Too Much

A very stripped back ballad for vocals and solo acoustic guitar.

Is Love Enough

Another one written and recorded by Will, which I added vocals to later on. Written for my best friend, Harry Long, when we lived on the same street in Shepherd's Bush.

Thanks to Peter Troake for playing Flute on this.

Stuff

Bombscares

Cavalier

I was listening to a lot of Seal and reading a lot of Neil Gaiman when I wrote this.

All My Teeth Have Been Falling Out In My Dreams

A song written about all the snow in Minneapolis during the winter. Adam Pleeth and I recorded it one day in the empty theatre on the set of "Brief Encounter". I played Guitar and Double Bass, Adam played Drums, Piano, Banjo and Trumpet. He also lent his excellent engineering and producing skills to the song, so big thanks to Adam Pleeth.

Snow Song

I used a Lap Steel, Hawaiian- style guitar for the solo section in this. It was given to me by my ex-girlfriend's grandad.

Be Yourself

The Midlake album, "The Courage of Others", had just come out and I loved it. I set myself the task to write a song in that style, and this is what came out. I played all the instruments in the empty theatre where it was recorded.

Transience, Serving Only Itself

A Bowie-esque 1980's flavoured track, with a plethora of tasteful additions from the mighty @olivertmusic

Lucky Stranger

A warning against the consequences of unsafe driving from beyond the grave, inspired by a piece of art by Daryl Waller, who created all the artwork for the album "Morning, Kashif!".

Carghost

A recording of "Carghost" live at Shot in the Dark.
