It has a nice Pendulum feel to it. Nice work!

This is the full band arrangement of this song (although all the instruments apart from the Mike Leander inpsired drum loop are me).

I have also uploaded a more typical acoustic version similar to how I play it live.

Dancing In The Rain (Full Band Version)

Again DEMO

Song with the "Purdie Shuffle" groove I have always wanted to use.

Back To Bed

Circe Sketch {rough as a cows backside}

This is a song based on the drum part of Stevie Wonder's Superstition.   It continues a theme running through a lot of my songs detailing how clumsy I am

Uncoordinated

Hope

Requiem Loop

This is very old song based on a science fiction story I intended to write about a dystopian future where all music is generated by machines until one day our hero does some historical research and creates an acoustic musical instrument.   I wrote the song but didn't get around to the story.

Song In The Machine

A song about a bad breakup with the title stolen from my favourite John Buchan novel.

Based around a Stewart Copeland-inspired drum part it's in the style of late 70's Rock-Reggae which I think perfectly complements the bitter lyrics.

39 Steps

Most of this song is based around a simple four chord pattern.  It describes the intangible nature of inspiration as "white noise" on our creative conciousness

The June Song Spark challenge was to write a song based on a familiar expression or popular catch phrase. The functional catch: find a way to incorporate the “whole tone” scale.

Below are the lyrics:
Sooner or later the day comes 
“So say we all, so say we all”
When you can’t run from what you’ve done
“So say we all, so say we all”

The cost of freedom
Is high, so high
Maybe it’s too high
Maybe, too high

So it shall be written 
So you shall believe
Sacred institutions 
Ancient prophecies
Human evolution
Clings to deities

Sooner or later the day comes 
“So say we all, so say we all”
When you can’t run from what you’ve done
“So say we all, so say we all”

Are we worth saving?
Pass down our lies
Why are we worth it?
Why? 

So it shall be written
So it shall be done
Cleanse the world of evil
Rhetoric is spun
Join the revolution
War that can’t be won

So it shall be written
So you shall transcend
Everything that’s happened
Before will come again
End of the beginning
Beginning of the end

Sooner or later the day comes 
“So say we all, so say we all”
When you can’t run from what you’ve done
“So say we all, so say we all”
