Tomorrow (with Rob Bisacre) Tomorrow (with Rob Bisacre)
She Feels So Good She Feels So Good
Ah, the joys of a miss-spent youth! Based on a true story from my student days...
Like A River Flows (with Rob Bisacre) Like A River Flows (with Rob Bisacre)
A mellow rock song about following the river of your life. Rob takes the lead vocal on this one, with yours truly taking care of the vocal harmonies. I'm rather proud of the acoustic guitar break.
Angel In Paradise Angel In Paradise
A folk-rock song with a two-part harmony lead vocal. 75% of any sales of this song will go to the pictured Angel In Paradise.
Prophets Prophets
A nice loud rocky one this time. :-) Drums, acoustic and bass guitars, three electric guitars and an angry lyric having a bash at religion - one of my pet hates.
There's A Reason (with Chris Murphy) There's A Reason (with Chris Murphy)
Classic rock song built around a simple piano riff, building up to a loud crescendo at the end.
Sugarloaf High (with Rob Bisacre) Sugarloaf High (with Rob Bisacre)
Rock instrumental that builds up like the tide coming in. As a youth I used to get high on Sugarloaf Beach in Portishead, hence the double-meaning in the title.
Gimme Your Lovin' (with Kizzy Morrell) Gimme Your Lovin' (with Kizzy Morrell)
Kind of a soft rock/soul thing, sung by the wonderful and rather gorgeous Kizzy Morrel. What a fabulous voice!
When The Morning Comes (with Andy Gregory) When The Morning Comes (with Andy Gregory)
Prog rock/classic rock song with vocal harmonies and a superb guitar break, courtesy of my oldest friend Andy Gregory.
The Age Of Miracles (with Michael Crow) The Age Of Miracles (with Michael Crow)
Classic rock song sung by Michael Crow with a long fade-out, a la 'Hey Jude'. I wrote the music for this when I was 12 after seeing 'Hey Jude' on TV, and thirty years later Michael came up with a lyric that finally did it justice. Thanks, Michael.
Baby Baby (with Joolie Bowen) Baby Baby (with Joolie Bowen)
A riff that fell into my lap out of nowhere!
My Lost Soul (with Rob Bisacre) My Lost Soul (with Rob Bisacre)
I'll Be Waiting I'll Be Waiting
Two acoustic guitars, four harmony vocals, and my only 'proper' love song, for want of a better description. My best lyric by far and also my personal favourite of all the songs I've written over the last 39 years. And all done in just one day...
If We Could Turn Back Time (with Rob Bisacre) If We Could Turn Back Time (with Rob Bisacre)
In The Dark In The Dark
A ghost story in a song, about being chased by ghouls and monsters in the night.
Follow Your Star Follow Your Star
An up-tempo and optimistic folk-rock song, about how possessions can never make us truly happy. Follow your star!
I Hope And I Pray I Hope And I Pray
Four electric guitars, two lead breaks, six-part harmony vox, what more can I say? One of my personal favourites, but maybe the lyric shouldn't be quite so bitter. But it's done now and I've lost the session recording, thanks to somebody nameless.
Wait For The Night Wait For The Night
A song about dreams and individuation, and the encounter with the 'Shadow' and 'Anima' Jungian Archetypes in the unconscious. OK, so it's pretentious and over-produced, but I like it and that's what matters most!
Seasons (with Rob Bisacre) Seasons (with Rob Bisacre)
Me and Rob did two versions of this tune. One with the vocal melody and lyrics written by him, the other written by me. Rob wins hands down, and it's the one that gets uploaded.
Song For Nick Drake Song For Nick Drake
A song for Nick Drake, using as many of his song titles in the lyric as I could. Thanks to Paul Tyler who made a video slide show for the song; check it out on my video page or on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTp8FMxTx1U&lr=1&feature=r
