Description: I thought i would continue with a vocal harmony track, and my first thought is "i need some practise, i'm a bit shakey"! It's confidence to push the vocal chords and see what you get, and i'm a bit lacking in that. Anyway, i hope you like it. I love making these little vocal head-trips for you!

A song about knowing the limitations or losing them or something entirely different#

Lyrics
Face the fear 
you love the most
just to feed the devil
that is your host
bleed your past
nostalgic ghosts
cos there’s nothing better
than those not chose

You need someone to stop you
but you got no one to hold back your hand 
from cashing out and in on crazy 
so it’s up to me to steer our ship to dry land
not quicksand
it’s in my hands
and on my hands

When a sickened sound
scars dirty minds
keep playing clowns
with a vicious smile
facing forwards
in twisted lines
to cheat the shadows
where sun don’t shine

But you need someone to stop you (we all need someone)
but you got no one to hold back your hand (your hand)
from cashing out and in on crazy 
so it’s up to me to steer our ship to dry land
not quicksand

But you’re not a victim in vain this time
we all know that you’re no fool
it’s just your half cup’s full of half empty
cos your demon’s are way too cool

But we all need someone to stop you (we all need someone)
but we got no one to hold back our hands (it’s your hand your hand)
from cashing out and in on crazy (does crazy save me)
so it’s up to me to steer our ship to dry land
not quicksand
it’s in my hands
and on my hands
these empty hands
it’s in our hands


Hand (we all need someone)

‘When You Walked In’ is the fifth studio quality Grey Hounds song to be released, this one is based on a true love story. It started life as slower ballad, but as we rehearsed it as a full band the speed was increased, and it got punked up to sound as it does now.

When You Walked In

Slight change of style with this one. A slower, funkier 100 bpm groove goin’ on:) 
Same sound set as in previous C-tracks so you can hear
left side: Subharmonicon
right side: Labyrinth
Drums/precussion: ER-1 & DRM-1
Acid synth: FB-383
Sample: Octatrack mkii

Technical note: Been having dropouts from time to time (while recording) that you may or may notice. Apologies for that! Not sure what the technical issues are but when you use a lot of hardware & cables accidents can happen;) 24 bit/48 khz wav recording (Kontrol S8/Traktor). Headphones recommended!

This is almost a love song but not quite.
Its the story of a meaningful first encounter where after a nervous moment, the courage is summoned to engage in conversation which leads to a desire to explore how far things could go. 
Either way, after this moment they will always remember each others names so who knows...

I even dusted off my harmonica for good measure! 

Hope you enjoy it

Lyrics:

I saw you cross the room 
Had to build up my nerve before I speak
I kind of felt weak

Hoping eyes would meet
Glancing back in the room before I leave
I kind of believed

Nearly walked out the door
But I turned back again 
And now that I’ve met you     
I’ll always remember your name
Remember your name

Not a fantasy 
I just wanted to know without a doubt 
Its time to find out

Come away with me
We could take on the world and have our time
You could be mine

Whatever it felt like before
Things just wont be the same
Now that you met me
You’ll always remember my name
Remember my name 

Couldn’t ask any more
There’s so much to gain
Now that we met
And the world wont be feeling the same 

I’ll remember your name

Remember Your Name

THIS LIFE I AIN’T LIVING
V1
Things are so expensive
It’s eat or pay the rent
Before my paycheck comes
My money’s already spent 

CHORUS
This life I ain’t living is killing me 
This life I ain’t living is killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh
Killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh 

V2
This country’s in trouble 
The world has turned its’ back
Hear the people moaning 
For the hope they lack

CHORUS
This life I ain’t living is killing me 
This life I ain’t living is killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh
Killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh 

V3
Try to do things right
Find out it’s all wrong
The men pulling the strings
Are few but they’re strong, oh

This life I ain’t living
This life I ain’t living

V4
Lock up the house tight
Another weekend alone
Nobody cares where you are
Nobody calls on the phone

CHORUS
This life I ain’t living is killing me 
This life I ain’t living is killing, killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh
Killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh

V5
Another broken promise
Another broken dream
Broken hearts all around
Hear the children scream

CHORUS/TAG
This life I ain’t living is killing me
This life I ain’t living is killing, killing me, oooh-oooh-oooh, oh!

This life I ain’t living
This life I ain’t living is killing, killing me..

Oooh-oooh-oooh, Oooh,-oooh-oooh

I thought i would continue with a vocal harmony track, and my first thought is "i need some practise, i'm a bit shakey"! It's confidence to push the vocal chords and see what you get, and i'm a bit lacking in that. Anyway, i hope you like it. I love making these little vocal head-trips for you!

I Never Knew

Higher & Higher

I'm quite old, I write tunes and mood music ,which stems from my subconscious. I'm not a musician and never will be, but I can invent stuff. I'm not sure what I'm doing is good, but some of it FEELS good. So my music inventions have been around me for decades  and now I've come the conclusion that, hey why not let other people hear it too?! 
Why the hell not??
You'll hear my studio tracks from 2015 and 2020, but mostly there will be home demos from the last 20 years. 
As I mentioned earlier,  I'm not a proficient musician so you'll also hear bum notes, fluffs, gaffes, misscues, laughing etc.
There's a lot of this, so prepare yourself!!
If you're still with me, then you're maybe into what I do too?
Ok then, off we go!
H.
