Everytime I play this song the nuance changes and accents move however the feel remains and I have been told that it sounded reaffirming. Hope you like my random chord diagram , music is an education ! N

LOVE this! Very affirming feel. It breathes, smiles, and then sparkles.

Verse 1]
You rolled two lines off your tongue,
meaningless words, rehearsed and numb.
No deeper truth, just static noise,
a hollow act, a clever ploy.

To find a space in this cruel land,
you bowed your head, betrayed your stand.
You had to take or you’d have none,
forgotten what should not be undone.

[Pre-Chorus]
And still you rise, and still you smile,
those empty phrases bought you miles.
You walk through doors that once were closed,
with secrets only silence knows.

[Chorus]
Alone—
you haven’t felt love in years.
Alone—
not sure if someone missed you through the tears.
That feeling…
is the one you truly miss.

[Verse 2]
So now, go on, reshape your mind,
trade old beliefs for new design.
You turned your gold into the mud,
a kingdom crumbled into dust.

What once you had, you didn’t buy,
now you know the cost of that old lie.
You see how blind you’ve always been—
in love, in loss, in your own skin.

[Chorus]
Alone—
you haven’t felt love in years.
You don’t want to
be alone—
no memory that someone held you dear.
And that ache…
that’s what you truly fear.

[Bridge – dreamy instrumental / falsetto echoes]
“All that I am, I gave away…”
“The mirror cracked, but still I stay…”
“A wave of love, it pulled me out…”
“She changed me—there’s no doubt.”

[Final Chorus – full band, emotional lift]
You changed yourself and the world turned new,
a wave of love, it carried you.
Out of the cage, the golden haze,
away from guilt, away from blame.

[Outro – repeated, fading]
Yeah… yeah…
That’s the feeling…
That’s the feeling…
you were missing.
Yeah…

empty-phrases ( soft unreleased version of spotify hit )

I’m not strong enough 

My skin sings these song
My brain hums along 

Time my cries with Sylvis’ room
So they don’t hear what I’m going through
But God is good
I’d say he’s great

room [demo]

useless

A messy-bright grunge-pop spin.....jagged guitars, big hook, glitter meets grit. About fighting the urge to self-harm and choosing the light anyway

LYRICS

From the outside looking in
People think my life's a win
If only they could see inside
They'd want to run and hide

chorus
I pop my gum, just to feel again
To know i'm alive and not numb
The razors cold against my skin
I take control again and again and again...

Verse 2
Bandaids and iodine I always keep around
Tending the wounds I make, silent and unfound
Always scared, Ill cut too deep
This life I want to live.. 
But the cuts makes me feel
Like I have more to give..

chorus
I pop my gum, just to feel again
To know i'm alive..and not numb
The razors cold against my skin
I take control again and again and again...

Verse 3
One day I'll wake up happy and whole
Throw away my razors, that's the goal
Till then...I'll get by the best way I can ..
At least...that's my plan

chorus
I pop my gum, just to feel again
To know i'm alive..and not numb
The razors cold against my skin
I take control again and again and again...

Looking to the Future , First Track of the new year then !!  Ok its jazzy, smooth and middle eight is super chilled, with a sparce lead guitar swathed in delay and reverb for extra atmosphere.

Really pleased musically with this as a definite challenge from the start, in playing (for me) and in collating the ideas across jazz chords, the differing beats , yet alone the Bass line and production. Admittedly it was penned between Christmas and the New Year and completed just prior to midnight.  Hope you like it and that its another immediate thumbs up or even better a longburner. Nick.

A Little livener for the new year. Cherrydot in full flow here and vetted by PTB (Phil The Bass) prior to official mixing and release. This one could have taken all month to piece but life's too short. Onwards and upwards. NCG

This should take the steam off. Move to cool , exhale , lounge and hang loose. You get the idea, Cherry dot rhythm switch.

This has been a while in the making. It's been reconstructed more times than I care to mention, track 2 particularly got a hammering. Thought my four stringed friend needed some airtime from circa 1.42 secs in , only to be met by space aliens landing their intergalactic vehicle. One day I'll put lyrics to these.
Yes the theme to batman fits over this , that was more than 50 years ago so it needed a shake up. 
Luca said it was definitely 'my sound' and Sophie helped with the percussion, dried rice in a wooden plectrum box. And as for the bongo's …..

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.
