Another self-penned ditty, me on vocals, guitar, bass. I've redone the drum loops again and slightly remixed as well as adding a heavier guitar part, hoping for Dek to take on the role of Hammond-meister at some point. With thanks to positive feedback from the guys on the SongStuff forum: http://forums.songstuff.com/topic/29356-wishing-well/ Wishing Well (A new space) The cold-eyed girl with golde...

This is an old song of mine...seems appropriate to spotlight it again...the "Je Suis Charlie...un rock star" remix can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/sciencebase/faith-in-humanity-cartoon-mix Faith in Humanity Yes, we all have our crosses to bear, well-worn paths to follow Some have pillars to push against, so many lies, so much sorrow Many blame it all on destiny, and leave their fate to g...

Aqueous loops, a funky wah riff and a self-indulgent guitar solo (aren't all guitar solos self indulgent?) and featuring the inimitable @MonoStone-1 on vocals on this pseudoinstrumental... On a storm, dream fading Ride, the waves Losing faith in the fear

A Flight of Fancy A flight of fancy, just spread your wings Takes you on the way to better things The working day, working away It's not easy, back-breaking, low pay A flight of fancy, can change your life Rue the higher plain, more play, less strife Out of your comfort zone, and into the blue A chance you have to take, you know what to do A flight of fancy, just take your time Reach for the skies...

An instrumental with a pseudoclassical intro on my Ovation acoustic guitar bursts into heavy rock. I reworked this song with lyrics subsequently - at which point it became "Dream Catcher" - https://soundcloud.com/sciencebase/dream-capture

Recorded in February 2013, another stream-of-consciousness song lyrically speaking, tweaked for the final take...domestic violence? Bar brawls? Both? Take it on the chin There's a time and a place for a smooth escape When the fighting starts and the glasses break But, the chances are you just have to fight When the glances crack, there's no wrong nor right We don't keep the things that we utter In...

Catch you out There's certain ways of feeling, it's right But, nothing's ever clear The chances are when they step out of line They're facing up to the fear There's certain hands we're dealt, that's right Still, nothing's ever clear All sides lose each and every time Backing down from the fear Never gonna catch you out Even if I save you now Never gonna catch you out Little wonder I prayed tonight...

This little ditty started off as an attempt to write a kind of pastiche of The Police, but once I'd mixed up the reggae drum loops it really didn't sound like either...the words I'd been thinking of were to do with standing up to oppressors but I ad libbed some new ones to try and get a melody and somehow ended up singing about Johnny Cash...go figure... Stand up and fight, fight for cash I walk t...
