On A Scale OF 1 To 10

'A Scale of 1 to 10' by John Vigar

They changed the meanings in my song
With Alga-rhythms that don't belong
A Minuet for the Internet 
Sonic Waves where the sun don't set
A Silhouette of my tape cassette …

A Better Life (without strings)

A Better Life (without strings) by John Vigar

A gallant seaman is rescued by a mermaid during a hurricane. He makes it to the shore and wants to thank the mermaid for saving his life. But she is gone and he wonders if she was for real or was she just in his imagination.

Mermaid of the Sea

Mermaid Of The Sea

All music written, performed, recorded and produced by John Vigar.
The outro features a crossfade from a 'sketch demo cassette' recording which captured a father/daughter moment during a music practise at home in the early 1990s.  John's daughter Mia (just 12 years of age at the time) sang backing vocals and played the flute on that recording. 
The song was initially written in late 1978. It has been rearranged/re-recorded by John during the recent COVID 19 UK lockdown/isolation 2020.
