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
I wrote this song after spending time in India in 1972 studying with various teachers. Ramana Maharshi's teachings inspired me in particular and continue to inspire me. Just search on the web for his name if you want to know more. The holy mountain of the song is both literal and figurative. The literal one is Arunachala - where Ramana spent most of his life. I stayed there for a short time.
Lyrics
It's up to you to climb the holy mountain It's up to you to find the freedom fountain No one else can really help You've got to find the truth all by yourself A man who knows turns you around Says 'dive inside and go down down down down down' It's up to you to climb the holy mountain It's up to you to find the freedom fountain All the books that you have read Just keep you locked inside your head And in your heart truth is found So dive inside and go down down down down down It's up to you to climb the holy mountain It's up to you to find the freedom fountain And in your heart truth is found So dive inside and go down down down down down Just dive inside and go down down down down down
