Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us

Thanks to my lovely friend Shel for suggesting we have a listen to this track. As always, she was right, it's a wonderful song, lovely and haunting and a pleasure to perform. I'm looking forward to her next suggestion!

My Guitar

'You have no guts' I say.
You laugh.
'I have more guts than you' you say,
And let the strumming of my fingers call a tune.
'You would say that' I say,
'You, who need another to express yourself.'
'Don't lay me with your problems' you shout,
'Little feet dance to little tunes.'
'Ha!' I say,
'But I am playing you!'
'That's what you think human' you sneer,
'Now say that in a twelve bar!'

A Pain that I'm Used To

I can't get enough of this song.

Well I probably can but I haven't yet.

Turn it up loud.

Cocteau Twins - Persephone

Another blast from the past,

Music for the soul.

Follow the Leader

Killing Joke were one of the favourite bands of my youth,

This song - BRILLIANT!!

Play it as loud as you can.

The Pixies

Many thanks to my friend Liz for reminding me about this great band over the weekend.

The Pixies.

This is one of my favourites of theirs, its called

Monkey Gone to Heaven.

Hope you like it too!

Music

I'm having a musical moment,
Well actually more than just one,
And my writing's a little neglected,
The singing, right now, is more fun!

So I'm going to make a recording,
When I've got all the sound of it right,
At the rate of improvement I'm making,
It's going to be a long night!!

Monday

This is a perfect Monday song

I wish they'd hurry up!!

Music

What a time!

When it takes you by the heart,

And drags from your soul

Such screaming delight,

Such a joy at being alive,

Up and out through the notes,

Through the smile that is your face,

That your mind can hardly hold it.

What a time,

When the music owns you,

And you are

Glad, 

Glad, 

Glad.

See you Comin'

This is a song we did a little while ago. The images that go with it I did today. Oh, how I need a tame film maker, or photographer to help!

It starts off gently and builds up a good head of steam!

MarieAnne

This is a song that Simon and I wrote a while ago. Martin plays guitar on it and produced it.
