This is a Springsteen tune we recorded live on a single mic. We had an embarrassing amount of fun recording it.

I'm Goin' Down

This song deals with youthful cynicism and bad dreams, but it's secretly a love song. Hope you dig it.

Broken Teeth Waltz

In The Green

When I was a kid at Sunday school I asked the teacher what happened if you sinned in heaven. She told me that heaven was a place where I wouldn't even WANT to sin. Even in my pre-teen years I found this suspicious, as I knew that robbing me of that desire would require a pretty extreme (read: complete) change in my nature. So this is a song about an impending spiritual lobotomy.

We Shall Be Healed

This is a song written and performed by Joe Hanmer on ukelele, backed on acoustic by Tom. It's a sweet, funny song that somehow involves a roving pack of crime fighting dogs at one point. Awesome.

Mining with the Force

Joe Hanmer joins me on ukelele and backing vocals on this one. It's about a guy who finds himself out of his depth with a girl. Like most songs.

She Always Goes

I Don't Wanna Let You Down (Tonight)

A love song from inside a poisonous relationship. 

Haunted

Don't Forget Me When You Leave

My Dad doesn't believe in metaphors, so to him this is a song about stage acting. Which I guess it could well be.

It's Time

This is a song about the kind of couple that don't usually get songs written about them. It also guests the legendary Maverick Thrust on slide.

Satanist Love Song

With Tom and I in different states this week, it was my turn to upload a track. I chose an original I wrote a while ago, featuring regular Barlight guest Suha Alikhan on backing vocals.
