you’re my lullaby 2.0

Sleepsong

This is a remastered version of my previous work. The main keyboard riff is directly taken from BWV 54 Widerstehe Doch Der Sünde by Bach, specifically Vikingur Oalfson's version. It literally comes from downloaded midi files. It's about my dad, and a dream I had that he was still alive, and my inability to face the truth of his death. The end is sampled from Glenn Gould's version of BWV 54

I Know That You're Gone

I am nostalgic vision of a medieval building
The splendor of being subjected
To natures objectives
I’m not very effective
She saw the lipstick on the bottle cigarette       
Questioning crime scene                                         
Was she a brunette?
I’m programmed for pleasure
She’s private detective 
So very objective
I’m not so selective
but I can be more reflective
She doesn’t respect it

(Be kind and come back to my life
I’ll take you slow by the fire side
Be mine we’ll take it all the way

Then she said
Be kind and come into my life
Be with me she said
Forgive all of the bad times
Marry me

La la la la la we’re living in a hopeless dream
La la la la la we’re acting on the silver screen

Solving the murder with the killer in room
Solving the murder with the killer in room

When love goes wrong nothing seems to go right
When love goes right nothing seems to go wrong

Programmed For Pleasure

With this song there is officially a gorilla in Songs with Claude. He's been on two album covers so he's a member of the band along with Chairman Meow, Claude, Margo, Emcee Gygax, it's enough members to plausibly perform most of these songs. 

[Intro]
Pack your bag, hit the road,  
New friends waiting, let’s unload.

[Verse 1]
City lights and friendly faces,  
Crash on couches, swap life’s traces.  
We land on sofas at the break of day,  
From coast to coast, we make our way.

[Chorus]
Ride the wild couch, feel the thrill,  
From home to home, in goodwill.  
Meeting souls, sharing stories untold,  
Life’s adventures, bold and gold.
Couch surfing USA!

[Verse 2]
Urban jungles, quiet towns,  
Every couch a crown, new grounds.  
The doors are open, come on in,  
This shared journey, we all win.

[Chorus]
Ride the wild couch, catch the dream,  
In each home, a new team.  
Surf the city, surf the town,  
On these couches, we lay down.
Couch surfing USA!

Ride The Wild Couch

Released on 'The Red Carpet' album. Recently released from private to public.

This has been waiting patiently in the wings for over a month. Unprecedented for me tbh and I think I know why. Admittedly it was in a semi finished state, after a concerted effort it seemed right all of a sudden.

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 200 tracks within 4 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 next album 'The Perfect Storm' is out Friday September 15th. This album really is the musical culmination of events and the proverbial cherry on top. Personal choices at the moment are the opener Can't Erase The Memory, I Can and of course The Perfect Storm. 
 
I'm thankful the creativity continues. The fact the writing and playing still excites and intrigues is a bonus! The last song is always my drug for the next, 200 songs in and counting it's not abating anytime soon.  Till the next one....
