MY OWN WAY

I waited so long for that day
When everything will go my own way
I waited so long for that day
When everything will go my own way
My own way
And now when that day has finally come
I realized it`s not much fun
It wasn`t bad at all !
But, nothing special !
I waited so long for that day
When everything will go my own way
My own way
My own way

Don't You Ever Get Tired Of Hurtin Me # 09, Gene Jumper, ( Cover)

Bread N Butter

An old friend recently got in touch with me and we quickly got onto the subject of our old musical collaborations back in the day. Long story short, this track is a joint effort between me and Rob Gill (his lyrics, my music). Hope you like it.

One Thing in Your Life

This is a brand new version of one of my older songs.  There used to be a version I made on the iPhone on here, but this is rewritten and rather different. 

Summer everyday

Another retro indie song I wrote using Nanostudio and a bunch of synth apps on my phone and then developed further in Logic.

Moths

Just another poor fool with big dreams and a crappy old iPhone

World turned blue

This is an iphone track I made for a collab some months ago. It hasn't come to anything yet - probably never will - but I thought I'd put it out there as some sort of evidence that I'm not dead. 

Girl in a Thunderstorm

Well, at last, here is an actual new song. It's a bit 80's gothwave, so be warned! You may want to throw yourself under a bus...     

Christina falls apart

I'm a singer songwriter and for the last few years I've been making my music with nothing more than an old iPhone and an iPad mini. I have tried to overcome the obvious limitations of having no actual instruments by exploring the world of music making apps. Hopefully along the way I have created some ear-catching, toe-tapping music with complex and unusual arrangements, bleakly evocative lyrics and a big indie atmosphere.  As a result, I think this collection of songs is unlike anything else you will hear on SoundCloud. Lend me your ears and find out for yourself! 

Drop me a comment (good or bad) - I will usually reply.
 
BIG Love to all those who actually listen.

Don't be a stranger...

With love, hope and despair,

About the clocktoys: me plus occasional others (but usually just me). I have written songs from a tender age and never let the hysterical laughter grind me down (well, not often). I taught myself to play keyboards with the mighty Casio VL 1 perched on top of my little sister's toy organ (the old asthmatic wheezing kind made from elastic bands, glue and the cheapest plastics known to man).
I enjoy the creative freedom of writing alone and my music is, frankly, a muddle of influences veering off in different directions. Which is a good thing in my book.
As well as my music I may also eventually get round to reading some short stories (do i hear a a low murmur of pleasure at the back?). Basically, I'll be boring the arse off you in as many different ways as I can think of.
I like: music from many different styles past and present but in my writing I often look back to classic indie music like: the smiths; aztec camera; cocteau twins; the associates; badly drawn boy; new order; teardrop explodes; japan; early omd; echo and the bunnymen
I wish: i could play the guitar like Johnny Marr; sing better

If you've read all the way down to here, can I please say a little thank you, embrace you in a manly way, and ask that you keep listening. One day I'll get it right!
