Post-glacial Souls
My song about coastal graves being lost to the sea because of post-glacial isostatic rebound is available to download or stream on Bandcamp. This is the hidden coda to the song in which Morse Code repeatedly proclaims "We suffer a great deal" as guitar builds the sounds of those shipwrecked souls...

Miserere Nobis
I recorded an overdubbed choral section for the end of my recent song Post-glacial Isostatic Rebound, which is available on Bandcamp via the link
-
Miserere
Been producing Clive-upon-Sea's latest music and recorded some vocals for him in choral style. You wouldn't guess from this ending how the previous 8 minutes had been even with that heavy rock finish before the choir...

Dustbowl
Dustbowl Kicking up the railroad dirt, I ride these metal wheels There's plenty of times those dozy bulls come snapping at my heels They've got to let it go when I hop that old freight train Never going to mess with me in this old town again Some unholy angel going to fix me up alright Heading…

Ebb And Flow
Ebb and flow I can't quite put my finger on it I was wilder in my dreams Open hearted, full of promise But, nothing's what it seems The tide it turned against me As it turns for everyone A surge of loaded questions Whose answers never come Though carefree on the outside I feel we've lost our…

Nomadic Soul
Nomadic Soul The amber shades of fen and stone Spare world and time as toil tends bone Those bells that herd the faithful home Set free lost souls in Heaven's dome What answers lie beyond the wind? The reedbed trail goes on and on Stone cast against the age of sin To shed this mortal coil again…

Lost in Action
Lost in Action You stake your claim on my time, and I succumb to a rhyme I won't cry at this one, been toughened by friendly fire This is all I've got, so I'm not wasting time; no time Can I be lost in action? No reaction's what I've seen Just a silent distraction, out of the picture, it seems,...

No Footprints in the Sand
No Footprints in the sand The days are colder and the nights drawn in No barricades of comfort, now the aching will begin I'm running down an unlit corridor The pain can chase me, but I head out through an open door And you won't find a clearer path today If you turn your back on the future, try…

Easy come, easy go
There’s a tension in the air Always someone being so unkind Never found the right time to make that repair To my confounded state of mind Didn't see you out and about You couldn’t bear to breathe the air You’re clued up there is no doubt But missed your cue ‘cause you just don’t care And, I feel...

The people we could be
You remember how we flew home at night? Head full of memories, I could tell You shone when we caught sight of Paris and smiled at the lights of the Tour Eiffel It was so small, a golden dagger In a playground of streetlights and bars Full of the memories that make me stagger A flashlight on...
-
What We Have Become
A rather noisy and raw, one-take-wonder on my phone, done with minimal preparation and the words and melody written on-the-fly, ad lib, as I played the guitar part. Count yourself a lucky one You're waking with the rising sun And though you're aching inside You know you're on the right side of…

Catch Your Breath
Catch your breath The simple things in life aren't free no matter what you believe You gotta work to get to Heaven There's no other way to receive The things you need that aren't so simple You'll find it's hard in every way You can tear it all down, for example But it's only yourself you deceive...

Old West River
A soothing instrumental inspired by a peaceful trip on a narrowboat along the Old West River on a midsummer's dawn. Synth strings, French horns, oboe, clarinet, and glockenspiel played on AKAI keyboard by dB/ Taylor six-string for the pseudoclassical guitar also by dB/
-
Jazz Duck
This was originally Part 2 of my song "No Symphony for Lovers", but it's perfect for a little video I recorded of one of my bro-in-law's duck running round and round my feet...don't ask.
-
No Symphony for Lovers
No Symphony for Lovers Part 1 - No Symphony for Lovers Let me hear the colours Let my senses interfere Entangled under the covers Of my own cavalcade of fears Let me talk around the corner My emotions bring the rains Embittered by the righteous No one left to take the blame Let me feel that sense...
-
Empty Rooms
I had an ad hoc meeting with Clive-upon-Sea this weekend where he referred to someone being able to "make friends in an empty room". I joked that I'd get a song out of that phrase...lyrics and chord progression were pretty much done before lunchtime and I've spend the rest of the weekend...
-
Last Dance
Last Dance There is no mystery to the grander scheme of things Just simple truth revealed and the love that it will bring We take the warmth from wherever it may spring Don't let the cold in. To the memories, you must cling It's not the time and place for absolving those who sin There is no…

Tideline - The Horny remix
Starts off a bit like a very early Bowie but with trumpet and then morphs into a footstompin' splash of Geordie Soul with quasi Dexy's horns, before soloing with Steely Dan and Stealer's Wheel ahead of a finale with some Steeleye Span male-voice harmonies TIDELINE As daylight settles like a…
more -
Tideline
Tideline As daylight settles like a distant retreat You pull on emotional chains The shingle rolls under your aching feet The hopes you had are dashed against those distant rocky shores Stagger to see the pain The tide turns with barely a pause If the water looks cold It's only a tale that's told...
-
The Absence Of Normal
The Absence of Normal The lines are cut, not a single word can get through The dust builds up, covering the world with a desert hue If flag as rags are burned, don't blame the formal Stay on the watch, be on your guard for the absence of normal The streets are still, only a few old souls around…

Helium Heart
Helium Heart She's a long time falling down, I wonder why she still hangs around Though she can't bear the pain she's found inside In the foundry of his mind, he'd tempered anger tough as steel Beating up his love on fatal flaws, no stretch of time would heal She's a lightweight mother with a...
-
Trouble Brewing
There were sympathy and warning signs Trouble brewing at high tea time There was danger flying and left behinds But still the world keeps turning There were times you knew when the rest was gone There were lines you drew and the best undone There was anger driving the clearest minds But still the...

Give my Love to the Waves (Original Demo arrangement)
Give my love to the waves Give my love to the waves Send me home, on a wind that saves If I ride the sea, or sail away Will you carry me back, home again? Give my time, to the pain If I miss you, would you sail with me again? Give my love, to the water Then I can find my way back to where I ought...

A New Memory of Music
A new memory of music We need a guide in our time Someone to show us the way To keep us from blind alleyways Away from Memory Lane We've got to look to the future But live our lives for today Still, the past can preserve us And take away the pain The beat is fine for the days ahead The melody is...

What A Year
What a Year What a year it's been Did you find it tragic? When we lost the magic When did that begin? Well, what can I say? We grew apart together There was a change in the weather Whether or not you would say Can we look for a future? Find a way to bring it back to the here and now? Find a new...

Meet me half way
There was a time when I was forgiving I turned my cheek, my feelings hidden But, something changed, and I'm just not living And I don't know what to say Well, here they are, my own misgivings I've turned them round and I'm not reliving Though nothing's changed I'm all for giving Now, I know just...

Place the Pennies
Place the Pennies Subtle are life's treasures, Like sunlight on the waves Like breezing through an easy day Your lover find the ways The days turn into nights There's nothing more to say But the storm turns on the tide There's no one who is saved Souls are lost at night No death knell for the…

Firebreak
Firebreak, watch the weather Standing here, I can feel your pain Firebreak, tied up in leather Without the pleasure, there is no gain Are the terms just wishful thinking? Could you really see the other side? Don't you feel like you are sinking? Or, are your dreams an act of swollen pride…

Masking for A Friend
Well, there's no time for any questions So, I'm asking for a friend When did they find the time to hate? To what point this bitter end? Their bottom line makes me queasy It's too easy to insist On making plans for one's fellow man Against which the good can't resist Well, I don't know what this...

Too Much, Too Soon
Too much, too soon There is a comforting solution To all the threats we face today We have to trust in our salvation Trust ourselves to find a way Making a case for all the answers Never let them slip away Too much, too soon We won't be saved by old traditions Got to stand up to the fools Throw...

That's okay, tonight
That's okay, tonight Step up to the light, learn you're not the only dreamer Find a place for you to shine Try as you might, you won't find another schemer Who twists the knife like you're not mine …and I'm telling you... You were the calm before the storm, You told the lies that kept me warm And...

The Stormy Petrels
The Stormy Petrels were fishermen from my home village of Cullercoats on the North East coast of England. In order to feed their families, they would set sail even if storms were forecast. There were tragedies. Painting is "Daughter of the Coast Guard" (Winslow Homer, 1881). American artist Homer...

Complications
If the 7-incher wasn't enough to satisfy, this is the RevCoffee 12" extension. I dreamed I was with my band in an airport all flights were cancelled our suitcases were empty we were going nowhere, the singer and I wrote some lyrics and we came up with a weird chord progression - Am-Em-Bb7. This...

The Spate Gatherers
I was raised in the picturesque fishing village of Cullercoats on the North East coast of England at the southern edge of the ancient county of Northumberland. I recently caught sight of an intriguing painting by Henry Perlee Parker, a Devenport man who married a Woodbridge girl and headed to...

A Northern Boy
A Northern Boy When the chill wind steels through the canyon The city puts its heart on ice There's no effort in the rush to escape there That's really no kind of life It's a one-time tonic for the twist around So we're running through the back streets Find adventure on the wrong side of town No...

One by one
One by one As the lights come on, one by one In the calm of a distant harbour You begin to see as the day is done That their lives are all that really matter As the clouds drift on, one by one And the stars begin to appear The planets they stride across a velvet sky But are tamed by the music of...

The Oleander Fires
The Oleander Fires Waking with the sunrise As soothing as the breeze Find it hard to settle down I'm running through the trees I'm not rolling with the New Age Fighting battles you can't conceive Walking through the scrubland Heading for the sea The oleander fires give little heat but their…

Shifting Sands
Shifting Sands There's a man who lives down by the water Stares out to sea like he understands When the wind changes, you know he really ought to find a new life away from shifting sands And, the girl who lives above him on the cliff-top writes tales that no one will ever keep to hand She stands...

La Gaffe de Péniche
UPDATE: Now with funk Telecaster and vocals I pulled together a few TR-909 drum samples in my DAW and created a nice 4-bar loop with a kick, snare and hi-hat. Felt like it needed a bit more so rolled in a guitar part I'd transcribed into the DAW and gave it a sweeping Prophet keyboard sound, then...
