MAN NO SIN SADLY (Rocky Mountain)
Composer: Rocky Mountain    Written: June 1980  
Original demo recorded: 1980   Additional Recording: June 2013

To Bri’s 1980 demo, we’ve added percussion and some stunning blues-harp from Craig Shaw, who also mentored the additional recording - couldn’t have done it without you my friend.  This was all done at the Core Arts Studio in Homerton (www.corearts.co.uk), a truly inspirational place whose staff and members, too numerous to mention, have been so supportive in every aspect of the project.  Particular thanks to Pawel Kucharski and Jono Trott for their invaluable help with the mixing and also to Melanie Knoedler for her haunting vocal.    


The sun is falling, it sets deeply tonight
Deeply tonight, deep in my heart
The sun is falling and I won’t be alright
‘Til this night has blown away

I got this feeling and it burns down in my soul
I got this feeling and it burns like a hot coal
I got this feeling and it keeps me awake at night
And it won’t go, no not until daylight

You’ve fired your shot and it’s gone straight to my heart
Straight to my heart, torn it apart
And though you’re not aware, it’s a work of art
My heart is torn away

I see you often and you say you’re my friend
Friend without end, what does this mean?
It means that I can never be more than that
I’m just a cat you play with

I got this feeling and it burns down in my soul
I got this feeling and it burns like a hot coal
I got this feeling and it keeps me awake at night
And it won’t go, no not until daylight

But love’s a mystery and you never know
When it will show up in your heart
And so I’m hoping for a love that will grow
Up in your heart someday

Meet me at the crossroads, baby,
Where the Devil takes the man.
Tell him I'll come later, baby,
When I've finished having fun,
When there's nowhere else to run,
When there's nowhere else to run.

I ride the road of steel,
On my coach of many wheels.
I'm hunting down the men
Who make the dirty deals.
I will give you anything,
To you, I will behold,
You can keep your beating heart, but,
I'm going to keep your soul.

Meet me at the crossroads, baby,
Where the Devil takes the man.
Leave the keys inside the car,
Cos you won't be needing them,
When there's nowhere else to run,
When there's nowhere else to run.

I ride the road of steel,
On my coach of many wheels.
I got me plenty room for the liars and the thieves,
I will give you anything,
To you, I will behold,
You can keep your beating heart, but,
I'm going to keep your soul.

Meet me at the crossroads, baby,
Where the Devil takes the man.
You won't need no suitcase, baby,
Cos I'm packing me a gun,
When there's nowhere else to run,
When there's nowhere else to run.

I'm lost among the mists of Mourne,
The Conemarran Pins I've clung,
The gentle Wicklow Mountains I've roamed,
And in her waters, clear, I've swum.

The Deryveighs of Donegal;
It's beauty hides the treachery.
Upon the sharp of Carrauntoohil,
I've heard the songs on Kerry's breeze.

And if you choose these rocks to climb,
A fight, of your own, you'll find.
Tho' you may sit on Victories Throne,
Be careful down that mountain road,
Be careful down that mountain road.

Mountain Roads - featuring Martin Kirwan on slide guitar

An appropriate time for airing of this song, first written in 2013.

Love What You Have.... 2014remastered

Searching for what I've learned in the meantime is called "Randolph" I found this hymn which prompted me to play it in F with a slightly folky arrangement (just as you might expect from my side anyways) - WIP, B-part still needs som work...

God Be With You Till We Meet Again - instrumental

Tear you down
Like a pack of lions
Little lies
That make the sky

I believe you 
In angel blue
I see you
If only you had a sweet tooth

Every kiss
A stolen life
Misanthropy
Baby every time
We can hide
Our little time

I see you
In viral blue
I see you
If only you knew
The truth

Wear you down
Like a pack of hounds
Take a step
On your other side
Sickly lies
That make up life
Take a look
At the oversights

I see you 
In dirty blue
I feel you
In silent blue
I see you
If only 
You had a sweet tooth

If only...

Sweet Tooth | RosesAreBlue

Was messing around with arpegio's to start in some weird shape's in Dm7 & 9 and tryed a solo over it but it suked then moved onto some Jazz in Dm but my teacher had mentioned about playing outside the box with a exersize so it tryed it and ONE I was shocked it worked soo went back to my noodle's in the arpegio thing and didn't it work there too?? hahaha so ya get a little bit of both!! Don't expect it to go anywhere but some of you may get a kick out of it...all lead was either Em or Bm and just noodled it til it sounded ok!!!  That's all i can tell you or i will have to shoot you LOL :))) Hint for the day!!! :D
