This track has been following me like a shadow. It's been progressively tinkered into its current final guise and I've lived and breathed it daily for the last 3 months. Given that the 220 preceeding tracks rarely exceed 1 month in the making I think that reflects the relevance and significance of 'All I Can Change'. It's a  heavy Blues based rocker with NickG twists, chopped 335 chords, d tuned, harmonies, groove bass, rise and fall a moody middle 8 and the squelchiest wah solo to date! 
See what you think, album 13 progressing nicely.

girl fron wonderland original DEMO

Blackbirds FC's third album!

This record has been a long labour of love for the band and features ten hand-tooled total bangers including the singles Rings Around the Sun, Lake of Stars and What's the Half-Life of Loving You?

Lyrically it talks about love (mainly gone wrong), politics (also going wrong), the young and the future (could go either way...). Musically it calls on the noisy spirits of all our influences including Wilco, The Church, the Go-Betweens, Beck and. Midnight Oil. 

The record title, Desire Lines, is partly a reference to the informal, unplanned pathways that people create despite the efforts of designers.

These lines typically cut across a planned route or area, often due to a more convenient or direct route and seemed like a good fit on a variety of levels for this record.

- lyrics -

play with my mind all of the time
she aint knowing what she did
pain in my spine, she is not kind
make me feel like i aint shit
say that we fine, give me a sign
better reply and say some shit
hit up my line, 505-521-4196

baby saying that i changed but i stay the same
i was stuck up in a slumber tryna stay awake
all this shit thats going on really plague my brain
in the end i will be fine so i cant complain
better answer your phone when i call in the morning
im ringing your phone but it just keep on going
she never seen just what im showing
she never knew just how we going

play with my mind all of the time
she aint knowing what she did
pain in my spine, she is not kind
make me feel like i aint shit
say that we fine, give me a sign
better reply and say some shit
hit up my line, 505-521-4196

im getting tired of the pain it wont go away
feeling like i make you run when i wanna chase
i was feeling all alone had no will to break
now i know you dead and gone i just sealed my fate
all i wanna do is be alone and talk on the phone
everytime that i see you i just wanna go home
shit been fucking with my head you cant leave me alone
shit gon keep on going on like the dial tone

play with my mind all of the time
she aint knowing what she did
pain in my spine, she is not kind
make me feel like i aint shit
say that we fine, give me a sign
better reply and say some shit
hit up my line, 505-521-4196

hyk (outro)

get it thru ur head (feat. Kirbs)

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.
