Lovely and relatable to so many in so many ways ...

This song was my response to the challenge to write a song using the Am - G - F - E chord progression. Lyrics are not my strong point (I've lived a sheltered life) so this was another 'stream of consciousness' writing episode. A good friend of mine suggested it was inspired by a period of working away from home 3 days a week for 6 months - which may be correct. The only instruments on this recording which are not me are the drums and keys.

Not going home (DEMO 2024)

Open Door

The heart's an open door. 
Nothing here but space.
Behind us is eternity.
beneath us, no floor
Whichever way we stare
Before us lies infinity.

We were born for these times
We can skip along timelines
Survivor through trials
We’ve battled denials
And we recognize the signs
We were born for these times

The heart's an open window.
A curtain in the breeze.
Pixie dust scattered spritely
always in the flow
Transparent crystal glass
Moon glowing brightly.
Star shining rightly.

OpenDoor

In memory of my beautiful wife, who recently passed away. She loved the sounds of nature, particularly the chirping of birds in the woods.

Your Beauty

I first wrote this song back in 2001/2002 and it was called 'Ordinary'. I made a recording of this in 2016 - still available to listen to on my Souncloud account - but always felt that the lyrics were negative, despite quite liking the song musically. In  2025, I rewrote the lyrics in a more positive light about the theme of self improvement and this is the basis of this recording. Some elements of the original song remain, such as the BVs and some rhythm guitar parts, albeit re-recorded. New elements have been introduced, such as the synth bass, piano and a new guitar solo. This song is a nod to Keane, whose album 'Hopes and fears' is a favourite.

Lift my eyes

A song about listening to rhythm and harmony in the wild.
The tremolo of the electric piano is for mystery, and the organ is for piety.  The Eb6 is for the ever-present whiskey-tango-foxtrot influence –and to comply with the melody.  Dave Bell is to make the song better.

Sitting On A Rock

A beat-driven guitar instrumental. Powerful.

Listen To The Beat

I was down like a pilot in a war 
Wreckage, wreckage 
Then she broke my freefall 

I fell fast no warning around me
Wreckage, wreckage
Then she walked me away

I woke in a city without a name
Sirens shot the darkness with sound

She said her name was Mercy so I knew
Wreckage, wreckage
Then she flickered and swayed

I was down like a pilot in a war
Wreckage, wreckage
Then she broke my freefall
Then she broke my freefall

Wreckage (with Joliz)

A best friend, a co-composer, an excellent guitarist BobH has passed and now is playing in God's heaven. I tried to emulate the sorrow and at times frustration this sad event has caused for friends and family.
