I tried to walk your way
To talk your way
I tried to feel the ways
That you do
That you do

I hear a little voice
Don't seem to recognise me
Can't find it any longer in the minds that would revive me
I find me in the ones who would revile me

And oh, hope is gone, I know
Hope is gone, I know
But it's all won, I know
Hope will come

I lied to smile for you
To hide from you
Tried to ride the changing tide in all the ways you seem to
And you seem to

I hear a little voice
Don't read the changing story
Can't find me any stronger from the lights and from the glory
Now find me in the lines of those before me

And oh, hope is gone, I know
Hope is gone, I know
But it's all won, I know
Hope will come
I know, I know
I know, I know



Hope, I Know

I Don't Really Care

Whichever Way the Wind Blows (version 2)

Relaxing

I wanna take the cloud off
but it's everywhere
informs the things that I do
til I don't really care
I'm sorry that I need you here; I thought we all needed someone to care
I'm sorry that I need you here; I thought we all needed someone somewhere

more that I listen to myself
more bored I become
so on the fence for someone
who hoards Opinion
It's in the air, it's in my eyes, I'm getting there but it takes time
every time, every time

I wanna give my heart out
but I can't make a sound
I hear it knock on my door,
comes to take me out
how can I see its edges from the edges where it leads me on
til the colour is gone

You've got a real nice smile there
a moment of light
can I embrace the cold air
can I be alright,
be alright

Best listened to on decent headphones.
All music and words written by me, unless otherwise stated. Some of the songs use lyrics written by my friend David Scott. The earliest songs here were recorded around 2000, but most are post-2007. I play keyboards, basic guitar bits, and sing. I do all the recording myself. Few of the recordings are perfect, but I just wanted to get them "out there" on the web, just to see if anything comes of it.
Gear: iMac G4, Cubase VST 5.1
Mic: Rode NTK, with TC Helicon Perform VK for some vocal effects
E-H Grand Canyon looper/echo
Main piano: Yamaha DGX-620
Synths: 
Yamaha Motif XS6, Roland JD-Xi, Korg M3-73, 
Alesis Fusion 8HD, Korg Karma.
Guitars: 
Alvarez 12-string, Ovation Applause electro-acoustic 6-str, Recording King 6-str acoustic.
Percussion: 
Steinberg Groove Agent 1 (love it!), drums from keyboards, tambourine.
Everything but the Groove Agent output is recorded acoustically i.e. no MIDI control except on the Groove Agent drums. This is because none of the other MIDI works!
