Enigmatic (Full Version)

A stripped down cover version of one of the early tracks from the Microdisney album "Love your enemies". Lyrics and music are the copyright of Cathal Coughlan / Sean O'Hagan.
This song was originally recorded by Microdisney in the early 1980's for their debut album "Love your Enemies". I wanted to pay a tribute to one of my favourite singer/songwriters Cathal Coughlan who sadly departed this mortal coil over a year ago. This demo version was recorded as a humble tribute to one of the most gifted and underrated composers/vocalists/Lyricists ever to walk the earth. RIP Cathal.

Hello Rascals (Demo)

He sees you when you're sleeping, He hears you when you breathe, He's there when you awaken, He's there when you leave, He's the phantom menace in a trilby hat in a corner of the room, He's the dude behind you in the mirror, and he's staring back at you, It's enough to make you crazy, it's enough to stir your brain, as you question your existence over time and time again. You wanna scream and shout and holler at the voices in your head, You know you need a doctor but you go to work instead.

Who the hell is Dick Dick Murray, He's the combination of your fears and worries. He can take his time he don't need to hurry. Just who the hell is Dick Dick Murray yeah.

He's the kind to prick your conscience if you ever tell a lie, you might never shake him off now and you'll always wonder why. As the days are getting longer and they turn to sleepless nights, you keep looking for some respite but he's got you in his sights. And when you try to get some answers from the enemy within, you gotta keep from going under cos the tide is coming in. Now your heart has started thumping, and you can hear that sonic boom cos your the only one that sees him in that cracked and powdered room.

Who the hell is Dick Dick Murray? He's a combination of your fears and worries. He can take his time he don't need to hurry. Just who the hell is Dick Dick Murray yeah.

You need to end this living nightmare because your running out of time, put that demon back in his box and you can leave it all behind. So try and make a new connection, get that monkey of your back, cos if he's left don't get you than he's right one will and he will keep on coming back. He made you think the world was crazy and you're the only one that's sane, telling you what's right is wrong, again and again and again. He nearly won you over, nearly took you for a ride, you might have beat him this time, but he will see you on the other side.

Who the hell was Dick Dick Murray? He was the combination of your fears and worries. He took his time but now he needs to hurry. Now you know who Dick Dick Murray is.

The strings and church organ sounds on this tune blend together nicely along with the understated drums to give it an almost anthemic quality.

Ghost Dance.WAV

It's kind of a small Orchestral piece in four movements. I had this image in my head of the big snow capped mountains and clouds with the suns rays breaking through when I composed this.  I was on a cruise ship when I took the photo. The melodious part came into my head that same night.  Please check out my other tracks. Humble Thanks.
