So I sold my old MPD and picked this baby up. It’s been all I’ve been doing all weekend. Hence the silence. Not silent over here, tho. Best $500 I’ve ever spent.
This is one of the first guitar songs from 1985. My satisfaction with Will We Survive? spurred me on to do some more songwriting.
This is another 1985 recording called Growing Old in a Foreign Land. I’m not entirely sure what it’s about! I think I might have been reading a lot of William Boyd novels.
Quarry 2012 is another version of Quarry, (which is also an early version of Song of Solitude).
Put your monday-night minds on the shelf…
Dancing
When there’s time to kill I kill my mind
but there’s no reason why we shouldn’t find
something senseless
put your monday-night mind on the shelf
let the music move slowly tonight
we’ll go dancing
slowly we’re dreaming
lightly we’re dancing slow
we’re dreaming
and there’s an empty room here in my head
we could glide slowly through my thoughts instead
keep me moving
if the lights in the harbour aren’t real
we could still turn off the lights that we feel
we’ll go dancing slow
when we’re dreaming
we’ll go dancing
still we’re dreaming
This is another guitar recording from 1985. You have to turn the volume right up, but it’s worth it for the amusing “solo”!
World at our Toes is an indulgence that I cooked up on the ipad yesterday.
I’ve turned my 1985 strummings into mp3s. Back then I recorded my ideas on a portable cassette player through a pair of condenser microphones. After a while I stood the box on it’s side to record guitar & voice through separate mics. This is a song called “Meet the Man”.
