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
I live in Ballarat. In winter it's cold and miserable. (used to be - thanks global warming!!!) I was gonna pack the car and leave - like the wind!
Lyrics
The ice hit my cheeks in the evening I knew the morning would be cold Sixteen years I have seen its' ways It's time to be movin' on I had my bags packed and ready No sign of any suites or ties I hate this cold and the rain and the snow Movin' on like the wind Like the wind Summer came here on a tuesday I think it was three years ago The harder it tried, well the colder it got The way it always seems to be I'll wager my engine is frozen Tomorrow morning when I try to leave Don't matter, well I'll just catch the train movin' on like the wind Like the wind The music played a tune to wake me It seemed like any other day By 4 o'clock I'll be off this map Be movin' on and shipping out Threw my bags into the seat behind me Filled it up 'n hit the road I can see the sunshine in the distance Movin' on like the wind Like the wind

I like this one too. Big surprise. Reminds me a tiny bit of Creedence Clearwater Revival music, only in flavor, which for me is a very good thing. I will be adding this to my Holgate Collection which is getting pretty big now. :)
