In the Face of You (Part III - Hope)

A slightly restrained version of 'Something Strange'

Something Less Strange

R     o     X     X

This is a track Hedd and I wrote in 2019 before the pandemic. I sure miss him.
I love the words he wrote for this. We were trying something a bit different than our usual. Give it a listen and tell me what you think.

Fall Away

Hedd (Randy Hedrick)- Lead vocals
Tom_ everything else.
Recorded at RoXX Studios.


Verse 1 
Lucid dreaming
Witness the world inside your head

Pre chorus 
Stop their screaming
Shadows crawling across your bed
Making it all come to light

Chorus 
I had a dream that people were kind
But in that dream - hate would blind
And never lift us
As we fall away

Verse 2 
Silent crying
Your pillow soaked with salty tears
Inner voice
Trying to temper hopes and fears

Pre Chorus 
Stop their screaming
Shadows crawling across your bed
Making it all come to light

End Chorus 
I had a dream that people were kind
But in that dream - hate would blind
And never lift us
As we fall away

I had a dream that people were kind
I had a dream that love would bind
And lift us all
Before we all fall away

Live in Time

Live In Time (featuring Tequila Monday Project)

Beautiful melodies to end your day - close your eyes, relax and think about what is important to you and then go to sleep.

This is me on the left age 2 with my older sister age 3 beside me. My younger sister would have been 5 months old.  August 1956. We had a wonderful childhood. Great memories.

Old Memories

The Rules Are........

it's funny, I've been writing this one song off and on for the last 3 weeks or so, when I finally finished it and sat down to record it, i started playing some chords and this completely different song decided to come out, practically writing itself, so here it is! with rebecca backing the end

hope you like it, and thanks for listening

The moon is low in the sky tonight

For Sammy, a little bird I tried to rescue a few years ago; an emotionally grinding journey. A huge thanks to Annie @annie-smart-1 for adding a sublime vocal that lifts this song to another level.
