THE
SONGS |

|
Here are some of my recorded songs that I have managed to digitise and load
here. (even if only 4-track home demos).
Due to space considerations I obviously won't have 'complete' songs featured but
'parts'... (i.e. choruses, middle, and/or Guitar breaks.)... but I'm sure that
when I do get my 'parts' hanging about on this virtual space you will be able
to play with them whenever you like (Mmmmm......... Nice...!)
So, all you 'muzo' cats, and 'vocal' cats, and all you 'poet'-type cats, you
could do worse than consider some of this original stuff.
As a great authority myself, I must say that most of these little 'ditties' could
become 'Top Ten' positions , with the right voice(s) and the right production....
wouldn't it be great if we could squeeze out a nice little 'number one' between
us ? ...
and not only that . . but . . 'number two's ' are not to be sniffed at either.
Selected songs may take a while to load, (1Mb is approx 1 - 2 minutes with
a 56k modem).
So please be patient - and select only one at a time, please.

I'd Go (Effin') Mad ! (A 2003 Demo')
Emotive/Big/Huge/A Big Jobby?
Again the tragically-missed; John W. Lennon IS STILL
such an inspiration. (God! how I wish I had his voice, and a part of his Talent!)
This is quite possibly : Young Tel's Biggest ever production to date! - Yep I've
been practising 'making-it-big' in my Studio/Office for endless hours, and I think
I got it pretty big here! - Pedantics may like to note that the Effin' word in
the title is not Audible within the chorus, this is because the Effin' word is
'Felt' Or 'Implicit' to underlining the sincerity of the Song.

I Might As Well Be Deaf! (A 2003 Demo') Moody/Gothic/Huge/A first 16 track Jobby?

I Don't Understand! (A 2003 28 trk Pee Cee
production Demo)
Dedicated to Cheesemakers (or I Suppose, "..any producer of dairy goods" ?)
Inspired by all the injustices and pain of: "Life".
Again another song which I feel should be in the style of the brilliant John
W.Lennon and... Just what kind of 'choice', is 'Freedom of Choice' anyway
?

DECEMBER #9.
(A 2004 26 trk Pee Cee Dem'o)
Again, heap the tributes on this wonderful chap, John W.
Lennon with loads of reference points. Naturally it becomes also a song
for peace, as this man who stood for and was the 'Pop' poet and voice of peace,
died through an act of bloody violence/Madness to no purpose.
Rest in peace John.
(*As usual: Apologies for the voice.)
And after all those campaigns, and having such a following, this world keeps degenerating
with wars, death and violence such awfully common occurences.

CRAZY (A 2004 Pee Cee Dem'o)
Again, I think this exhibits that I may be influenced by that wonderful chap,
John W. Lennon . It's reflective, it's sitting on
a beach, tranquil, standing away from everyday life. (which is where I wanna be.)
(*As usual: Apologies for the voice.)
Global Madness? the world is Crazy. People are living with total degeneration,
and some people know it.

PEOPLE (Edited/Short..)
(Heavy Pop/Rock) - Original title was: A song for peace ? still, we all have our
own problems eh?. [Cubase 20 track]
This is an edited (shortened) version, as the original hits on 9 minutes, I, optimistically
thought I should have a version out of a more commercially-acceptable length.
(Chance'd be a fine thing, indeed.) One would expect the references again to be
quite visible (in an 'audio' sort-of-way) Yes there seems to be no escape from
the wonderful influences of that marvelous chap: John W.
Lennon .
The poor old devil struggling with the vocal efforts is unfortunately once again,
'moi'. The Chorus, happily (if one may dare to use such a word here..) is sung
by Amanda once more.

Too Much Blues (for one Night)
(Heavy Blues) - Too many things can and will go wrong (it says here..). [Cubase
20 track]
Inspired by all blues players with a lot of respect.
The poor old devil struggling with the vocal efforts is unfortunately once again,
'moi'. How much blues can a life cope with ?

Repenting Blues
(Heavy Blues) - And some people keep going wrong (don't we?) . [Cubase 20 track]
Inspired by making terrible mistakes, poor judgement,self-indulgence and New Orleans.
The poor old devil struggling with the vocal efforts is I'm afraid to say; 'moi'.
How many ways are there to say 'I'm sorry' ?

Can't You See (Progressive Thematic?)
A collaboration (My first real collaboration) I wrote and produced the melody and arrangement for the lyrics written by Charlotte Alexander
A talented lady I gained 'virtual' contact with through Songwriter Resource Network
I have a slice of the Chorus here (performed by me BUT disguised - thankfully- by my Vocoder) and my guitar piece which I think shows the initial melody of the verse.

(it's an) Obscenity! (Progressive Thematic?)
Please excuse my naivette, but I was shocked and appalled from LIVE8 (2005) to learn that (what I believed to be) :'Donations' to aid the poor, starving, dying people in Africa, were actually 'Loans'.
(To make interest on this awful state of affairs?) This song, no matter how I have written it, is my feelings about the situation, and quite probably common to the majority of humanity. The whole point being made,
that this is Not only a TRAGEDY, but also an (inexcusable) "OBSCENITY!."
Again please forgive the vocal ('moi') but I hope the song can be appreciated in spite of my vocal effort?

(she's not a) "Gold Digger!" (A parody on Lennon/McCartney's 'Day-Tripper' - but how does one contact Mr Jackson for permission? )
Seriously, I was just thinking wouldn't be absolutely awful if an extremely popular musician was in divorce with his wife, and it seemed to the general public, and all his fans, that for some reason it looked as though she wanted to rip him off for everything he had earnt?
Wouldn't it ? mmmm...?
At Last a vocalist is doing this version ("Amanda" thanks) so I should think this is far more enjoyable.
