Seventh Heaven

This was one of my earliest compositions - from around 2001 - of what I would consider a 'full' song... i.e. not the usual recording of me noodling on a part to build on later and never finishing. The main chorus & verse theme are pretty straightforward and remind me a little of the 'Winter Games' theme by David Foster. But the bridge section in the middle and especially the arpeggio in the closing section are something quite different... arguably my favourite minute or so of anything I've recorded.

Enough Rain

Call me a loser yeah
Well that don't bother me
I've been the punch bag
Youngest in my family
And what did that achieve
Just had me growing up strong

So take your stab at me
Be sure to laugh at me
And kid yourself that I'm
A victim of conspiracy
Well you're just feeding me
With the words to this song

So make fun of me
Make fun of me
Make everybody wanna run away from me
I can take it on the chin
Better than anyone I've ever known

You call me crazy well
That's pretty lazy hey ?
That's not the kind of word
That's ever gonna save me now
Ain't that what you want,
To convert me to your norm?

Call me delusional
Well I know that about me
'Cause I'm a dreamer
Kind of goes with the territory
But I can meditate
Within the eye of a storm

So make fun of me
Make fun of me
Make everybody wanna run away from me
I can take it on the chin
Better than anyone I've ever known

So make fun of me
Make fun of me
Don't be satisfied 'til everybody's done with me
I can take it I won't bite
Not tonight
Don't waste your time on me
Don't waste your time on me

You might be waiting 'til the end of time
You could be waiting 'til the end of time
You may be waiting 'til the end of time
Ahh ahh ahh ahh

You might be waiting 'til the end of time
You may be waiting 'til the end of time
Do you have 'til the end of time?
Ahh ahh ahh ahh

Make Fun Of Me

Lust Interrupted

Strange Love Light

In black and white
But the tone is right
You explain something to me
From a dusty book
That inspired look
So relaxed, so free

Where is this place?
I’m longing to see
Who is this face?
Brings love over me

It’s Tuesday noon
The rain starts soon 
I’m walking the street
Is this the way?
I cannot say
It’s concrete under my feet

Is it true that you lie?
Do you sell or buy
What currency do I need?
Another broken dream
A flash and a scream
This mouth you have to feed


Think I’m close to it
Maybe I’m dreaming a bit
This picture pushes my mind
Fact or fiction 
It is my addiction
Don’t tell me what I will find

Where is this place?

Música compuesta e interpretada por Thomas O'Higgins Horna.

Regresión

"The Turtle Project" started out as exactly that, a project, a songwriting project that was born from years of being a musician in many bands, doing countless gigs, naturally gathering experience and inspiration until, one day, I stumbled upon the fact that I could actually put those experiences and many others into words. The composing aspect grew from that into what it is today ...
My way of life .

Make Fun Of Me
