@tytlblues: Thanks Tom - much appreciated!

Such a well crafted song. So very well done. Chris

i love that grooving synth behind those lovely pure acoustic guitars..they work lovely together

This song has been playing in my head for weeks so I'm back to hear the original. What wonderful music you all made. Chris

So beautiful intro and very cool song! Wonderful arrangement!!

I like this song so much guys so I'll keep tapping the like button...Chris

this reminds me of the beautiful, haunting songs on Beck's "sea change" album. There's something quite emotional about your music.

Just in the studio today and finished churning this one out. Song is inspired by the Sun Dance carried out by the Navajo where they would dance for days or as long as they could keep dancing with no food or water. The dancers would keep going until they passed out and or started hallucinating. It was in this state the warriors would get insight into their future and look for direction in their lives.

Lyrics:
Been here so long
for ten thousand years
The way of life 
since disappeared
The Sundance 
is over now
And the battle lost
At a terrible cost

At the end of the day
It's all gotta change
When the sun goes away
It's all gonna change
Nother ever stays the same


Been chained here
For days and days
Eyes are blurred 
And head's in a haze
The sun fills 
the sky above
Safe behind the walls 
That are ready to fall

All Gotta Change

Edie Brickell is a treasure. For those of you who are familiar with her Soundcloud page, you'll know that she posts at least one new song every day and the amazing thing is - they're all great! So one day Shael and I were talking about collaborations and thought - hey wouldn't it be cool to dress up a few of these little songlets that Edie's posted and then surprise her by doing a private share of the resulting tracks? Well, that's exactly what we did. So thanks to Edie for encouraging us to post these little numbers - there's 4 in all, this being the first of them. 

just to give you an idea of where the track came from, here's the original phone recording that Edie did:

This one's about a career criminal whose only wish when he gets out of jail is to get revenge.

Revenge

Inspired by the winter storms over much of Europe this year, this track is about Hurricane Ike which was the costliest hurricane to hit Texas and resulted in well over 100 deaths. The sheer size of Ike was such that it caused immense devastation across most of the Gulf coast from Louisiana all the way to the Florida panhandle. To this day there are still people listed as missing from the event which happened in 2008.

Shadow and Light (extended Version)

Made this track for a movie cue, submitted it to Taxi. Nothing happened. C'est la vie. No collab this time just little ol' me.

Armed Robbery - movie cue

This new one I hope makes you want to stand up and move a bit, at the very least tap your feet. Many thanks to the gracious Derek Cornett for providing a few guitar tracks that give it some soul. I also would like to thank Chris Yochens for great B3 part that inspired the whole song.


Where You're At / featuring Derek Cornett / Chris Yochens

Harmlessness: 

much colder than before/ the wind it glows and calls / my frozen body’s done / i can’t stay around in this town / COLD STAR FEELING / DON’T STOP; CARRY ON / THE STARS ARE CHANGING COURSE / FROM THE WORLD / don’t stand around in this town / don’t stay around this time / i can’t stay around this time / won’t stay awake / WITH THAT STONE COLD FEELING / DON’T STOP; CARRY ON / THE STARS ARE CHANGING COURSE / FROM THE WORLD

Harmlessness

Happiness arrives, greeted by the elements :)
