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
About 20 years ago, I sent a heap of music off to various publishers and record companies. I can only remember getting one reply. It said my music was 'Riff Driven'. Well, DUH, I'm a guitarist. Of COURSE it's Riff Driven. What, and Jumping Jack Flash isn't?? How many songs written by guitarists are based around a riff?? Thousands. And this is about rejection, and not letting it get you down.
Lyrics
It's a lie that their telling to me I aint the guy that they want me to be If I was I would never be free. Not me I aint got what they're looking for Smiled politely, led me to the door I guess I've heard it all before I'll try not to let it get to me They said I can't but I'll show them I can They said I'd never make much of a man I know I'm right they just don't understand. I am They said I'd always be running around I'm looking for but I'll never be found Got to keep both my feet on the ground. Get down
