New Song in the making....old song for your pleasure

 So it's the middle of an alcohol free January, and I must admit I have been neglecting the practice a bit over the last couple of weeks ( if you saw my performance last Thursday then I apologise if it was a bit ropey ). Anyway the good news is that I started writing another new song today which is called 'Jennifer Waves'. The song based around the rough story of a man on a station platform seeing off his girlfriend Jennifer who waves to him from the train as it is leaving but he doesn't see her wave, and she doesn't realise that he hasn't seen her. So she is happy in the knowledge that everything is fine and is left with good thoughts of their time together while he thinks she hasn't bothered to wave and starts reading all sorts of bad things into it.  It is still a work in progress but that's the basic premiss.

  Until that song is finished, here's another video from the shoot I did the other day of my song 'The Man That I Can't Be'.........Enjoy

New Song !

 Happy New Year everyone !  I haven't posted for a while...I had a couple of good gigs over Christmas, and have been trying to write some new material. A lot of my friends are going through some hard times at the moment and I that was what was on my mind when I wrote this song. It is called Deeper in the Sand and reflects the kind of hopeless situation that many people find themselves in from time to time in their lives. I do seem to channel these kinds of songs quite a bit, but as I think I have said before, I don't seem to have much control over the songs I write. Anyway, this is the video for it which was shot using a Canon 60D slr camera with a Zoom H2N microphone attached. If you want more info on the set up then leave a comment and I'll get back to you :)



 There will be more videos to follow from this shoot over the next few weeks...and some exciting news about forthcoming radio play !!!!

Cheers
Chris
