I can hear the memory, in my Amiga
It's like a ghost that's fading in and out
Distant voices of the past, from a bygone era
They're calling out to me, what's it all about?

I can feel the ghost in my Amiga
The echoes of the past still linger on
I can feel the ghost in my Amiga
The memories of a time that's gone

I can hear the music, from the floppy disk
It seems to take me back to a better time
The colors and the sounds, the way it used to be
How could I forget all that it meant to me

I can feel the ghost in my Amiga
The echoes of the past still linger on
I can feel the ghost in my Amiga
The memories of a time that's gone

I can hear the laughter, of the old games we played
It brings back so many memories of days gone by
We used to have so much fun, before the world went crazy
But I still have the ghost in my Amiga

Ghost In My Amiga

originally recorded as a solo piano boogie, now with a whack of instruments added to sound like a country rock & blues band. With different instruments taking turns at solos, this one’s a pretty fun romp. 

instruments include piano, bass, rhythm guitar, electric guitar, harmonica, slide dobro, organ, drums (all instruments are electronic samples, except me playing piano live, and some bits on drums, organ, and harmonica)

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.   :)

Summer of 23

Now I know that cantankerous old coot C J Hopkins used the very same words to describe the current rift in the western world but I can verify that I wrote the lyrics to this song a good month before he did, he just says it much better, and I will quote him here;

"Yes, there is a divide. A great divide. A chasm. A schism. A gulf. An abyss. A gaping, yawning, unbridgeable fissure. A Grand Canyon-sized fault in the foundation of society. A rupture in the very fabric of reality."

The Schizm

DOOWINIT (music: Mark Paton / words: Justin Paton)

I Remember Everything

Raving Horse Dance - Valentino

Well, my body was aching, all the time
Well, my body was shaking, all down the line
The desert heat was burning me up
The rattle snakes were fine
So it comes to this 
Every single time

Will you be mine?
Or are you fine?

Is your life sublime?
Or is it time?

The train comes chugging past
It's never on time
The rain never lasts
The soil is dying
Just like our relationship
But not for want of trying
Never underestimate
Your other half's lying
