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..
written and recorded in a couple of hours, second take..
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 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...

***********
someone just called me insane
for sitting round here
watching the rain
up on a hillside
on the beach
that lightning flash
is always
just out of reach
got no reason
got no rhyme
just sitting round here
wasting my time
i've seen your books
yea i've read them all
but today
they don't mean nothing
to me at all
just let it go
sometimes we gotta
let our feelings show
so c'mon open the door
i'm standing outside here with my
oh just let it rain
let's take those covers away
the time has come to show
how we feel today
no more heroes
no men in black
they took away our voice
now we can
take it back
just let it go
sometimes we gotta
let our feelings show
so c'mon open the door
i'm standing outside here with my
oh just let it rain

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
