Hi folks. I have added a lot of videos recently. Please take a look!
Hi folks, This site acts as a personal archive of my work. So you'll find my best recordings here as well as some pretty crappy ones. The earliest recordings here were made on simple cassette decks, others were made on mobile phones, some are live recordings made at various gigs over the years, a handful were made in small recording studios, but most of the more recent ones were made at home on a Zoom portable studio, which itself is now rather ancient! If you like a song and want to download it, click on 'Full song info' for that song and you will see the download link. You can also read the lyrics and any background information on the songs that I may have added. All my music is available for free - enjoy :) cheers, Charles

Story behind the song
Sadness... This song is sad, being about a break-up. Sometimes I just write stuff like this. Writing sad songs is therapy - helps you to get over the problem - whatever it was. That's the funny thing about the blues. They don't make you blue. This recording is not the best quality but it has a mood that fits the lyric and it features my friend Robb Johnson playing nice licks on acoustic guitar. It was recorded in a bedroom at his place in London around 1985 on a little four-track casette recorder - another recording that I'm amazed has survived my travels. I treasure it.
Lyrics
It's easier to lie It's easier to hide the truth But why should I deny what I feel? And why should I pretend to love When love's not real? If eyes could never cry If hearts could not be broken If love could never turn from gold to blue It wouldn't be so hard to say I'm leaving you Goodbye lover Goodbye lover The moment that we met The time we spent together I'll treasure as a sweet memory You know that you will be forever dear to me You know that you will be forever dear to me Goodbye lover Goodbye lover If I had never been in love with you It wouldn't be so hard to say I'm leaving you Goodbye lover Goodbye lover Goodbye lover
