Tony was a good friend, a talented musician, an award winning film producer, and a very warm, open spirit. Back in the mid 80's he was the drummer in our band. He was also the manager, sometimes wearing himself out managing, drumming and knocking on doors trying to promote the band. He went on to film school and produced many award winning short films. He always pushed himself and others onto bigger and greater things, money was never his concern though, only trying to bring out the creative and imaginative qualities he saw in people. Suicide has always been a taboo subject. Nobody wants to talk about such an overwhelmingly sad event. A natural, or accidental death is difficult enough for family and friends to cope with, but suicide always touches far deeper emotions. Sometimes anger, sometimes just sheer confusion. It would be much better if family and friends could see the signs earlier, but the nature of depression is concealment and a feeling of separation. People cover up and try to hide their pain and deep sadness, so even the closest people to them are unaware of their pain and feeling of hopelessness. If only we could see the signs earlier. My heart and thoughts go out to Tony's wife, child and mother. There is always a space left behind after such tragedies. This song, is in a small way, my way of filling a part of that space. Hope in the face of Hopelessness. I know you're at peace now friend. made from fire
we all owe something to someone no-one can make it alone don't keep inside what binds us don't let that isolation grow
we were made from fire built from sand and glue bringing it on and taking it higher c'mon i know we'll make it through
all my friends are leaving they couldn't take the weight anymore outside they smile inside they're feeling for this life there ain't any cure we were made from fire built from sand and glue bringing it on and taking it higher c'mon i know we'll make it through
i wish i knew how you were feeling i could've done more i know outside you smiled but inside you were bleeding sometimes those scars never show
we were made from fire built from sand and glue bringing it on and taking it higher c'mon i know we'll make it through

i talk to myself sometimes...:)
thanks for all your comments, this has been hard to wat
i talk to myself sometimes...:)
thanks for all your comments, this has been hard to watch and to reply to, i feel i've said enough in the song, ..but your comments are a nice reminder that we are'nt so different afterall...
we ain't alone in whatever we feel! :)
* written and recorded in 30 mins, i was gonna re-record it, but this is closer to the original feel
you're falling in love and falling out again you're drinking too much and staying in that bottle never shows you where to go just tells you where you could've been
you're sleeping late and talking to yourself avoiding friends and getting high a simple question starts an argument and every answer ends in why?
sometimes we close and don't let no one in sometimes it's hard to face the truth but you know i'll always be right there for you i know you'll be there for me too
you never really know which way to turn the painted signs are never right you took a left and came right back again some joker changed them in the night
sometimes we close and don't let no one in sometimes it's hard to face the truth but you know i'll always be right there for you i know you'll be there for me too
*thanks to my good ol' mate (from wayyy back when we were teens) arthurbrick for the song title

not been on YT much lately, apologies if i've not been back to anyone, will catch up soon as i can.. hope you likes:)
i been watching where you go the secret places no-one knows in the corners of your mind there ain't no space there there ain't no time
we can dance and try to reach it now we could feel the light we lost somehow we can raze the walls to the ground and if we try i know we'll win somehow
it's getting hard sometimes i know enforced illusion t.v. shows it's getting hard to break away from all we taught here from all they say
but we can dance and try to reach it now we can feel the light we lost somehow we could raze the walls to the ground and if we try i know we'll win somehow
only we can set us free or accept our fate silently there's a place where we belong a warm embrace a voice to sing along
we can dance and try to reach it now we can feel the light we lost somehow we can raze the walls to the ground and if we try i know we'll win somehow

a song for the dispossessed..

a song for the dispossessed.. written and recorded in a couple of hours, second take..
hunger of the body, hunger of the spirit, hunger of the mind...
strange innit?.. the more you say hunger the weirder it sounds, it tends to lose it's meaning...hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger, hunger..
sadly the more we say it it still remains..
no body *******
nobody knows where you're going nobody cares what you say nobody knows what you're knowing maybe it's better that way
nobody cares how you're feeling nobody really wants to know nobody asks how you're doing nobody got no time to know
nobody wants to be like you nobody wants to hold your hand nobody really understands you just another beaten soul in a beaten land
nobody dreams what you're dreaming nobody waves as you pass nobody hears the sounds you're hearing nobody's there when those waves crash

so good to see you feel the same, thanks so much for the comments, i never expected such a response from a simple tune...i have no financial power, all i can do is write songs and try to articulate basic emotions we all share deep down.. whether 'some' people choose to believe it or not compassion and goodwill lie within us ALL..
thankyou people:))

original song
feel alive?
i don't know where i come from
but i know one day i'm goi
original song
feel alive?
i don't know where i come from but i know one day i'm going back i only bought a one way ticket but i'm gonna sneak in round the back and when i go don't you know i'm gonna miss you so we had some good times together but when you gotta go you gotta go
i see the sun rising burning my eyes and there's a moon shining moving the tides and there's a man crying wishing he could turn back the time
oh but don't it make you feeel alive?
i feel the breeze swirling around blowing the seeds i see the trees swaying oh such elegance and ease and there's a dog howling wishing he had a bone and there's a man sleeping in the park wishing he had a home
and all the street lights flicker showing me the way and there's a woman on the corner asking me to pay for some real live action i smile and walk away
oh but don't it make you feel alive?

wasn't happy with the last mix of this song, it was only a rough mix, so i've added a touch of harmonica and remixed the vocals, hope u like the new version:)
you're not alone
when you're caught in the waves of your being just breathe in the salt from the air and look around and you'll see it it's over there yea you can be it
just remember this when nothing goes your way
see there's many here like you in this city like the neon lights burning thru the night
our hearts burn in the darkness hot as coals in this madness just remember when nothing goes your way
see johnny came here for the money his girl she came along for the ride but now apart she's still praying coz there's a space where he once lay in and nothing will ever fill that space only time
but you're not alone no no you're not alone we're not alone no no no we're not alone...

this is another tune i wrote and recorded very quickly, it's got very complex chords;) (Amaj and Dmaj, capo 2nd fret), but with practise i'm sure you'll be able to play along with it..i have a habit of posting songs before i've got them worked out, i can play it a lot better now but wanted to post something before i go away for a couple of weeks..i hear the surf on the south east coast of England is perfect at the moment, so i'll be away for a while..wish me luck, i can't swim.. my next tune will be a yodelling song, not much yodelling on YT, think i might be able to corner the market..
i'd like to dedicate this song to anyone who feels their body is separate from their soul, and to anyone who believes in music as a healing force x
i saw the light in your window didn't feel so all alone been walking around with my shadow head in the clouds eyes to the ground
but now you're here i feel you near now you're here got nothing to fear
i remember the times in the morning you wiping the dreams from your eyes i can still hear you calling but it's not real just the echoes of my mind
but now you're hear i feel you near now you're here nothing left to fear
i always felt something's missing something not quite right maybe it's your light and warmth that i'm missing or your soul and the sound of your call
but now you're here i feel you near now you're here nothing left to fear
it's hard to describe how we're feeling we can't find the words but we try but deep down there's a meaning i got no ryhthm so now i gotta find the rhyme
but now you're here i feel you near now you're here there's nothing left to fear
