I added some voice overs for the chap who's being munched by the Killer Khazi

Halloween automaton sound effects

A song with a happy ending. Recorded in an unplugged, stripped back to basics style, featuring the beautiful tones of a Gibson J45 acoustic recorded by a matched pair of stereo mics. The final verse springs to life as an acoustic bass, drums & lead guitar are slowly added to the mix. Lyrics...SOMEONE STOLE MY HEART TONIGHT 
© 2018 Grahame Waghorn

VERSE 1
Someone stole my heart tonight		
I wonder if you’ll notice?
I don’t think they’ll give it back		
Will you feel the emptiness?			

Will you sense the lack of heat?		 
Miss the steady beat?			 
Can you hear silence				
Inside your busy life?			

VERSE 2
You're home late from work again
The same old excuses
When I look inside myself
I know what the truth is

We’re playing the same game
Chasing a distant flame		 
But trapped by the shadows 
of this empty nest

VERSE 3
At the lake I chase the sun, 		
Spring will soon be coming		
Skim a stone across the ice, 		
Wait for it to sink in			

Back at the scene of the crime	
Our hearts beat in time		
I‘m glad that you found love 
In that old heart of mine	

OUTRO
Someone stole my heart tonight
And now I’m slowly coming back to life

Someone Stole My Heart Tonight

Demo of a slow tempo, chilled, instrumental with some echoes of early 70s Pink Floyd. Featuring drums, Acoustic fretless bass, piano, acoustic and lead guitars.

Waiting For the Perfect Wave

Waiting For the Perfect Wave (Instrumental demo)

A quirky new wave rock song about a boastful idiot

I'd Rather Be With You

A slow jazzy track about escaping home for Christmas. Featuring drums played with brushes, Furch acoustic fretless bass, Piano and trumpet. 

This is the slowest tempo track (58bpm) I've recorded so, hardly surprisingly, the lyrics are about a high-speed car chase across the desert!

RED LIGHTS & HEADLIGHTS
(c) 2020 Grahame Waghorn

Red Lights and headlights
As far as my eye can see
Since I crossed the state line
Blue lights stopped chasing me

90 on the speedo
Still feel I'm driving too slow
Escaping from the desert 
To the city below

I'll soon be by your fireside
Lost in your tree lights glow
A promise is a promise
This Christmas I'll be home

Red lights and headlights
Only a few blocks to go
A promise is a promise
This Christmas I'll be home

Red Lights and Headlights

Red Lights And Headlights

A bluesy track about the downsides of being a spy - you only date spooks!

Me, My Shadow & The Ghost of You (Midnight in Moscow)
(c) 2020 Grahame Waghorn

Midnight in Moscow
Breath hangs in the air
Just me and my shadow
Crossing Red Square
Clock ticking down 
To a Rendezvous
With me, my shadow 
and the Ghost of You

I spy St Basil's
Check the coast is clear
Sneak in through a side door
It feels spookier in here
Light a creepy candle
At the chosen pew
For me, my shadow and the ghost of you

Inside a dusty bible 
I find your secret note
"We can't go on meeting like this"
Is all Natasha wrote
Oh how her message haunts me
What are we to do
With me, my shadow and the ghost of you

I'm feeling that I've been totally conned
It's not like the movies, not like James Bond
I never ever end up with the girl
I don't know why I enrolled as a spy
I'd have been better off as an ordinary guy
'Cos now I only get dates with spooks like you!

Midnight in Moscow
Death hangs in the air
Just me and my shadow
Waltzing through Red Square
I saved the last dance
Just for us two
Me, my shadow 
and the Ghost of You

Me, My Shadow & the Ghost of You (Midnight In Moscow)

Joyful Pop-rock. The great illusionist, Mr Wonderful, has his lying and cheating ways exposed by his nemesis Dr Truth. Light-hearted political satire.

CHORUS
Here comes Mr Wonderful
To save us again
Let’s all raise a glass	
of fake champagne

He’s bigger than superman
So fat and so tall
And’s making our mucked-up world
So wonderful

VERSE 1
Every week he catches a cat 
And sticks it up in a tree 
So he can set it free
On prime TV

Doubters and haters call him a con-man
Just ignore what they say 
That won’t be hard 
‘Cos he’s gonna lock ‘em away!

CHORUS

VERSE 2
He’s making us great 
by bragging and lying 
And flexing his super thin skin.
He says he’s transparent
But nobody sees through him

Maybe his secret weapon
Keeps everybody sweet
‘Cos if they get sour 
He’ll zap ‘em with a killer tweet

BRIDGE
His nemesis, Dr Truth
Ruthlessly attacks	
He blows away the blatant lies
And alternative facts

Here he comes
See him run
Watch him run away!

CHORUS
There goes Mr Wonderful
He’s fleeing again
Let’s all celebrate 
With real champagne

He’s nothing like superman
He’s as dumb as a wall
Now we know the truth 
He’s not so wonderful

OUTRO
Mr Wonderful’s
Not so wonderful
Not so bright all all

Mr Wonderful

Mr Wonderful (Mix 3)

A song about a serial seductress, with a plot twist at the end.
Written, performed,  recorded and produced by Grahame Waghorn.

I wrote this song all the way back in 2025. I've finally got around to recording it thanks to the Covid-19 Lockdown!

Old Rope

Catch and Release

A hot, steamy, summer night. A teenage rendezvous in the long grass starts well but goes horribly wrong.

Layin' Low

An upbeat song about the road to recovery after a devastating storm.

The Other Side of the Storm

The Other Side Of The Storm

A jazzy, indie rock song featuring several cool guitar solos. 
The lyrics are about feeling alienated when returning to central London, England, In March 2016. At that time the city was overtaken by big, high energy, mobs of French teenagers, who were oblivious to everyone else. It made me feel like I was the foreigner and they belonged there - so I wrote this song in the hotel that night to try to capture the sensation of alienation and isolation.

A Stranger In My Hometown

I write and record alt pop/rock songs on my bass, guitars, keyboards and sax. Some are dreamy, some rock and some reflect my wry sense of humor.
