Lyrically and harmonially strong with diverse styles of song.
I write and record all my songs on an 8 track set up. I've got a small room now instead of using the kitchen although I do have to share the space with my daughter as the computers in the room too. I normally write around 4 am. I get woken up with some song banging in my head. It won't shut up till I write it all down. I write in various style from Rock through to Country. My main interest is to get a publishing deal. It would be great to get paid for doing something I love. I'm a member of the ISA - that's where I read about Soundclick, by the way. The ISA are great I'd recommend them to anyone. They're so helpful even if you're asking some really dumb question. I've dabbled in poetry and music for a large part of my life. I like to listen to all kinds of music. I would hate to be asked what my favourite song or artist is. Some days it's Mozart,some days Black Sabbath - the Ozzy version, mind -then another day maybe Eva cassidy.

Story behind the song
It's suddenly not Ok to politely ask someone to keep the noise down or to stop jumping up and down on your car or taking your wallet and your mobile off you.
Lyrics
It Couldn't happen here Sweet bouquets lie among the gore And there's more blood to spill for sure Many more lives will be snuffed out And prematurely without doubt. Is it gang culture that's to blame I wish that someone would explain What is this cheapening of lives Why do we carry guns and knives. Chorus The perpetrators are protected That seems to be oh too clear This loyalties so misdirected As it's just born out of fear What is there left to save I'll tell you Everything that we hold dear You know that it's really not true To say it couldn't happen here. Statistics rise with every day See one more son get blown away The loving family don't see why Their precious one has had to die A Mother hangs her head alone Another husband won't come home A baby's lost his brothers' smile Another name gets put on file. Rpt. Chorus, then:- Has your son been hit by a gun Was he left within an inch of his life Are you tired of wearing the scar Carved on your face by somebodys' knife? Rpt. Rpt Chorus.
