Lost

Here's another song. I wrote and recorded it this week. I'd like to develop it a bit more - maybe with some piano. Use the link below to download.

The Lily

I had a lot of fun writing and recording this! It came about after I thought of some silly lyrics about guilding and a lily.

In My Dream

I wrote this song last week. I had just spoken to a man who was telling me how his wife had Alzheimer's, and there was something about the care in his voice that I found really moving. This got me thinking about some lyrics for a song about how illnesses might get in the way of what could have been a great love affair.

Shallow Day

This song is more recent. Last summer I picked up my viola for the first time in years, and after some messing around I found that I really liked the sound that it made when combined with a harmonica. Kind of rustic (if not Waltons-esque). Having said that, if the conductor of the orchestra I play in hears this, he'll probably have words to say about my tuning.

I wrote the lyrics while standing on a picket line in the rain! The other singer is me as well.

Times

Here's another - this is called Times, and it's one of the first songs I ever wrote.

Devil at my Deathbed

I've decided that it's about time I started posting some of my own songs online, and rather than set up a myspace site, it makes sense to have all of my music stuff on the one site.

So for starters, here's a song I wrote and recorded this weekend - it's a bit rough and ready, but it is supposed to be the dying confession of some dodgy old New Orleans criminal, so with any luck the style fits.
