Pop/Rock, Psychedelic, Ambient, Rhythm & Blues and beyond.
Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
The lyrics are partly a reaction to the political situation we find ourselves having to endure in the UK...in March 2019
Lyrics
We saw the writing on the wall ( it was plain enough to see ) but we just ignored it all ( help yourself, its all for free ) we had our backs against the wall we watched the countrys decline and fall Things may come, and things may go ( they gave it all away ) we were happy, going with the flow. ( they gave it all away ) things had come, now things have gone. we had our backs against the wall we watched our countrys decline and fall. guitar solo theres panic in the world theres panic in the world maybe its time we made a stand its not the kind of world we planned. maybe its time we made a stand its not the kind of world we planned. guitar solo Am I right, or am I wrong ( it just depends on your point of view ) Life is short, but art is long ( nothing really ends. Its just a private view ) we had our backs against the wall we watched our countrys decline and fall

Great retro-vibe that rocks the walls with nostalgia and a message that oddly enough rang true in the 60's, the 70's the 80's - 90's and into the millennia without so much as a pause... are we learning yet.. LOL. Great message and delivery David!

Dynamic song with plenty of punch musically and lyrically. This definitely sums up life at the moment. Love that guitar solo! I hear a fantastic fusion of Prog Rock, Brit Rock and 80's Rock. Great production & arrangement.

Progressive rock is exactly what it is, it defies genre really, a mixture of eighties feel and uninhibited production, the tone on that soaring guitar is killer.
