Lyrics:
Who wants to dance who wants to slow dance
With that rabbit down the hole rabbit down the hole
I want a chance I want to slow dance
And trap that rabbit down the hole rabbit down the hole

Lipstick like dynamite, seven sticks of dynamite
Lipstick like dynamite
Lipstick like dynamite, seven sticks of dynamite
Lipstick like dynamite (dynamite)

(Ooh Refrain)

Who wants to dance who wants to slow dance
To that racket down the hall that racket down the hall
Woo I want to dance I want the last dance
And trap that racket down the hall racket down the hall

Lipstick like dynamite, seven sticks of dynamite
Lipstick like dynamite (dynamite)
Lipstick like dynamite, seven sticks of dynamite
Lipstick like dynamite (dynamite)
COME ON!!!

(Choir Harmonizing)

Seven sticks of dynamite, Fuse the morning fuse the night (x6)
Fuse the morning, Fuse the night (x3)
Give me seven sticks of dynamite

Here Come the Runts

Seven Sticks Of Dynamite

AWOLNATION - Kill Your Heroes

IAMDYNAMITE - Where Will We Go

Was led to this progression from another one (not yet complete) however this gelled immediately and the riff jumped out (no I haven't been listening to Rush's Limelight recently!). Added a few overdubs, really tried hard to keep it simple and at each stage the track seemed to improve, hope you agree. It started at twice this speed...talk about deconstruction . Written in thirty minutes , production took longer!

Sophie's drawing needed some music to accompany it's fire breathing requirements. Wanted the initial intro to be haunting and sparce. 'Browning' guitar to accompany then into it. Great fun to produce , things I rarely say ! Was quicker in writing and composing than producing so work needed on the latter. Hope you like it, in retrospect like 'November' think this is a grower. Watch out for Dragons ! N x

Be There Dragons Inside?

I had the basic rhythm for this one , again a repetitive melody then found a riff which fitted and halved the original time to double up circa 1minute in. Like the initial recordings of 'Thoughts' and Melancholy' it just seemed right to put this one out there. Short and sweet. Thanks Lu for the name , hope you think it fits !

Ocean Eyes

Here's a different feel. Had great fun with the end production.

Who'da Funk'd It.

Now in a minute , 2 minutes 39 later. That's not official timing by the way.

Now In a Minute

Spite

Gibson Cherry Dot obsession continues. Inspired by exciting grooves and a 60’s vibe which I wear on my sleeve. There’s an eclectic mix of guitar fuelled rhythms all written, produced and performed by myself which have now culminated in 226 tracks in 5 years. Having added vocals to the mix this has brought a further depth and individuality to the songs. 2020 saw the creativity in writing and self releasing 2 EP's and 9 albums 'The Black Tulip' , 'Prismatic' , 'Who Would You Be?' , 'The Red Carpet', 'Cat & Mouse', ‘How This Plays Out', 'Positive Signs', 'All The Colours' and  '9' from April 2022, it's frenetic.
These are available on the usual outlets Spotify/iTunes/Deezer/Pandora/Napster, Bandcamp etc.

Its eclectic, quirky I confess, British? Experimental in places but above all stuffed full with Gibson guitars, energy and a passion for music and life in the highs and lows that days of late bring.  Hope you appreciate the artwork too all photographed or produced by me to keep it authentic and original.

The tenth album 'Keep On' saw the development of style and flow which  includes my personal favourites 'The Things That You Love', 'Man on The Run' and the title track, 'Keep On'. These all adapted a different approach and development that simply wouldn't have occurred at the start of the journey,  

The music's progressing and the album 'The Perfect Storm' set the benchmark in online attention with the title track single. I think the style and sincerity of performance mirrored the fact that all of my tracks are written for a reason and sparked by quite intense life changing events behind the scenes, you couldn't write it or maybe I could ! 
Personal choices at the moment are the opener Can't Erase The Memory, I Can and of course the single The Perfect Storm. 

Twelfth album ‘Heart Of Blue’, is completed and recently released  September 6th 2024. It's been a while (for me) in the making and each track just builds on the last. The themes of resilience, belief and positivity remain and the music continues to be guitar driven and punchy with hooks and catchy melodies.  

Album 13 is entitled 'Every Time' and is released to all platforms on June 12th. To come so quickly after 'Heart Of Blue' says a lot about the inspiration and creative drive. Themes of resilience, perseverance, hope and love, dominate in what I believe is my most cognitive and mature album yet, see what you think.
 
I'm thankful the creativity continues. The fact the writing and playing still excites and intrigues is a bonus! Where there's a story to tell and a melody to be heard the last song is always my drug for the next, 13 albums in it's not abating anytime soon.
