"I can resist anything but temptation" . . .Oscar Wilde. A powerful and punchy 'live' sounding Pop Rock song.

Artist picture
Big Sleep is the name of the imaginary 'band/group, that all the music I create with my friend and musical collaborator, Tony Webster goes under. Tony is pictured on the right in the photo; me on the left in the dark blue suit. Tony is an artist / illustrator, writer of lyrics and stories, song arranger and a mine of information on any subject under the sun . . . I (David A Briggs) play all the instruments (mostly of the stringed variety), perform all the studio 'jiggery-pokery', sing and dabble a little in the visual arts.

I think you were the fifth, that's why John wanted to do your song not even having heard it yet... (far as I know, he might get around) nice big bandy sound. Judos Kudos. Jesus. Who Became, British. But Is Still American. I draw the line at Eels.

Really has a retro quality I find fascinating,from the arrangement,drums lyrics and vocal textures and British accent. If I heard this on the radio, I would guess that this was The Who in their early days, no kidding amazing job to both you and Tony!

Classic and cool all the way down to the jangly rhythm guitars! Drums give it a real garage rock feel!! Sweet!

I love your lala head. You have a great knack for the musical hook and the lyrical hook. Now I've got Temptation running around in my head. :):)

A dynamite signature Big Sleep gem. Just love the percussion and guitar driven retro energy. Amazing vocal performance, yikes! A classic hook, unforgettable, killer tune start to finish!

Fantastic drums, really great sound to them, sounds like you've got a "Keith Moon" with you there. Love the guitar parts and the way the vocals are done, great writing - perfect for radio airplay. The record labels could really do with your songwriting skills....I think I'll ring them up and explain that they're missing out on a real money spinner here, lol.
