A work in progress. A demo with basic acoustic guitar, drum track and vocals. Harmonies a little bit out. I think, really, its a song to be sung by someone with a much bigger voice than me!

Run Away [Unfinished Demo - 2013]

Recorded in 2006 on an old four-track tape recorder. Its about a book I read by Sarah Orne Jewett called "The Country of the Pointed Firs".

Lyrics:

Tell me, what's a journey between two old friends?
Well I can let you know when that journey ends.
If indeed it starts or ends at all,
If I could ebb the flow of the tidal glow,
[That] takes me out there to sea now.

Tell me, what's the secret you hide behind those eyes?
Something, it's safe to say, that anyone would despise.
Though it seems I cannot tell you at all,
If I could only shed this fire you fed,
That burns from inside when I see you.

[Solo]

Tell me, what peace there is hidden beneath the waves,
Just I can't wait no longer to die and not be saved.
Even if you think I can swim anyhow,
If not for the sea and all that binds me,
I could be safe upon that landing there,
I could be safe upon that landing there,
I could be safe upon that landing there.

Dunnet Landing [2006]

Featured as the outro music for the Prodigio Pete Battlefield 3/4 gaming videos on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/ProdigioPete

A man whose lover was lost in a flood when the levee broke goes walking to try and find some inner peace. 

Walking the Levee [Demo - Prodigio Pete Outro Theme - 2008]

Some one who sits down with a guitar from time to time. Rarely ever has the patience to sit and record anything or finish a song.
