Comfortably Numb Comfortably Numb
remix of song I posted earlier this year...a lot of what happens in the world at present leaves one numb...comfortably numb...perhaps, all depends on the medication...
Whenever I Go There Whenever I Go There
new song by Gary and myself about reflecting over the years and letting one's mind wander thru the countless memories and then one day, without much warning, time seems to not be as good a friend as it once was...
Big Sky Fade Big Sky Fade
song by Gary and myself which we did couple of years back, this being a numix - we also did a track called, 'Getting Dark' and it's these two songs which always come back to me out of the many we've written.
I Never Cry I Never Cry
cover of Alice's 1976 classic from 'Goes to Hell’..50 years, where did that go..
Rock 'n' Roll Suicide Rock 'n' Roll Suicide
this track closes the Ziggy Lp and famously 'killed' off Ziggy in concert - it's our sixth in a series of Bowie covers and Gary's guitar is brilliant (deft touch)

think back to when Jim Steinman started writing songs for Meatloaf and how he'd go on to be one of the best producers in the business (creating this classic with TSOM) and how the world seemed less complicated and more focussed on serious issues as opposed to Tik Tok or Instagram and if we don't think we've lost something we're crazy...but if we think it's coming back anytime soon then we are complete fools. Michael Keaton in a scene from 'Birdman' is here due to his brilliant acting abilities as well as the late great John Belushi...dig Mike & John, supreme talents for sure!
can you still recall in the juke box hall when the music played
and the world spun round to a brand new sound in those far off days..
in their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout
as they sang the blues, let it all hang out..

Epic & cinematic track, huge wall of sound. Perfectly depicts the enormity & gravity of the situation. Very dramatic & thought-provoking.
I like the way that 'Wonderland', has been made to be ironic. We fool ourselves that we are maybe living in a wonderland when in reality, we are living in a place and time that is the total opposite. The slightly 'Dark', arrangement further underlines that. Very cleverly done. I like this a lot.
The very understated sound of the arrangement suits the lyrics and sets the mood of the song so well. The introduction of soft strings further on only enhances this feeling. I like the way the song increases the power of the mnessage
Totally authentic soul, with a large helping of world weariness, melancholy and sadness. This kind of thing can't be faked ... this is totally the real thing.
I can visualise the camera slowly panning from left to right, over huge piles of rubble, that used to be apartment blocks ... peoples former homes, then cutting to a close-up of someone trying to pull a child's toy out of it. Oh Greg, this music paints a picture alright. The 'Spoils of War', the Pyrric Victory of being able to say that, "This pile of rubble is now ours".
Wow, this is such a fantastic creation.
