Pop rock perhaps? Definitely commercial. If any of my songs ever turned up on radio, I'd expect this to be it.

I had my first 4 track cassette recorder when I was 16 and I've still got most of the recordings, but you won't find those here! Some funny, some stupid, some ok bits, lots of rubbish! 30 years later I'm still writing and recording my own stuff - drum machine, bass, guitars and keyboards - (which I'm learning). Soundclick is breathing a bit of new life into my music - it's giving me an outlet, a meeting space, a place of inspiration. I hope that in the coming year, there will be some collaborations and swapping of music, thoughts and ideas. I do seem, however, to be spending an awful lot of time at this computer.........

Story behind the song
My wife is not fond of Ipods. So I keep mine out of sight, out of mind!! Which started me thinking about all the electronic toys I wouldn't like to do without. This didn't take long to write at all.....
Lyrics
If I had an ipod then I could organize my life Could be filed away in folders But I'd have to hide it from my wife And if I had an ipod then I could carefully compress All my precious memories Everything I've ever done, no less If I had...... If I had a camera I could capture everything I see Keep the photos on my ipod It would help my failing memory And if I had a walkman I could take it everywhere with me I could tell it all my secrets Wizz-bang technology If I had....... If I had a flashlight maybe I could keep away the night I could see the demons coming Maybe I could slay them with my light And if I had a vision maybe I could draw it in the sand And if I had a nightmare, would I ever understand? If I had.....
