Adam & Eve demo

Beautiful Tragedy demo

Wee bit different from my usual sounds, creepy riff, some filipping and sinister backing vocals by Steven Tautuajuk!

I'll Never Be King - David Jolly

A new song from an old idea I had. Saweet saweet geetar.

I ain't so good at the recording malarky so levels aren't perfect.

Available in Paperback

Originally had this with a synth riff until I discovered the potential of a glorious string section. 

Tripping

This is an unfinished demo that I am just about to record in the studio with my band The Lonely Whale. Drums and Piano have no been added. Finished version will be up soon...

Have You Heard The News, My Dear?

Ballad I am entering in the UK Songwriting Contest. It is one of a number of songs that I have recorded recently with my band The Lonely Whale. They are mostly now in the mixing stage but since the deadline is nearly up I am uploading them now! 

Beautiful Tragedy

My other UK Songwriting Contest entry! Also in the mixing stages but the recording of the song is done so I hope you enjoy the organ, harmonies and catchy tune! 

Never Be King

Wee tune I wrote a while ago, just decided to mess around with some new instruments and see where it ended up. And here it is.

Why Can't We Get Along?

This is a quick, rough demo of a song I am working on. I have uploaded the demo to use for the songwriting course I am currently studying with Berklee.

It's not the best quality but I'll upload a proper version when I have time. 

When She Says Goodbye (rough)

Another song I'm working on for my course with Berklee. Still not finalised but almost there. 

I am not a criminal,
I only came to speak my mind (I don’t mean)
To be cynical, 
I guess I left my dreams behind


Left My Dreams Behind demo

Alternate version for songwriting course at Berklee. Didn't have much time to work on it this week so there's not too much of a difference before. Would liked to have changed the chorus a bit.

Also vox not so good hear - only had time for early morning recording lol.

Left My Dreams Behind (Alt) - David Jolly

My name’s David Jolly, I’m a 21 year old singer/songwriter from Glasgow, currently based in Perth. After writing and performing my songs alone for the last couple of years, I am now playing with a band called ‘The Lonely Whale.’ The Lonely Whale stand out with our catchy pop/rock like hooks, memorable lyrics and vocal harmonies. We blend elements of folk into our songs which is most prominent in Simple Song (Shivering), which includes a mouth organ hook and simple, catchy lyrics and Beautiful Tragedy – a piano based ballad in which my natural Scottish accent is highlighted by the lyrical story. Finally, our versatility can be heard in I’ll Never Be King, which has a reggae groove in the verse, accompanied by memorable chorus and Phantom Island, which shows our optimistic attitude and ability to create a sing-a-long.
