Working on the latest album, Portraits, which is scheduled for release late May 2022. The organizing concept is to be simple musical portraits of people and scenes created in each song..
Different from what I have done in the past, I will be releasing each song to be included in the album one by one. You'll have a chance to watch the evolution of the album as it happens. The song order might change as we go along, but each new song will become part of this evolving gallery of "portraits" over time.
All the music to this album will be written by me, played and recorded by me in my home studio. The songs are all new, feature new collections of sounds and instruments and hopefully will tie together into one long "Portrait Gallery" of songs that vary in style and composition
This song draws inspiration from John Donne's Poem, The Dream, as well as a girl with piercingly beautiful eyes. The song begins whith him falling asleep, then seeing his love come to him in his dream. When he questions her reality, he wakes to find she is real and is there with him...
The first verse came to me intact on a walk; wrote it and the second verse when I got home. Couldn't find a suitable third verse and chorus so left it as is. During recording, added recorders and it started sounding like a Jethro Tull tune (apologies Ian Anderson). No intended meaning in the lyrics.
A lighthearted tune about spending the entire day with someone you love. Reflects the lighter-than-air feeling you have when you're in love and it doesn't matter what you are doing. A happy, fun song with a lot of harmonies...enjoy!
I heard an interview about "Mr. Jones and Me" being about two guys in a club trying to find the courage to pick up two beautiful girls. I thought, what about a guy trying to find courage to pick up a pair of beautiful girls? Might make an interesting song. Has some interesting bass lines. Enjoy...
He's in the "Friendzone" and wants out to make his female friend his girlfriend. But he doesn't know how. At the last moment, she helps him out....a light hearted song about young relationships. Enjoy...
I wrote this lighthearted tune about everyone's least favorite time of day...morning, and the difficulties getting out the door and to work.
it's meant to be a fun, easy to listen to tune. Hope you enjoy it. leave a comment about it in the chat box or in the email comment section.
a song about falling in love with a girl in the modern age of the internet. A gentle ballad about a beautiful girl and meeting her in reality. The chorus came into being, so had to write the rest of the song based on that, enjoy...
Written about a past ex-girlfriend, it about what I should have said but never had the nerve to really say to her. A little Bob Dylan like in style. Hindsight is always clearer that what we do in the present...enjoy
A complicated song set about a guy in mid-life crisis falling in love with a girl sho is a prostitute who scams guys for money. All fiction by the way, but interesting topic. Almost 14 minutes of complicated music and themes. Enjoy!
This is a companion piece to The Cheque, and is designed to bookend the album. It uses a compass as a metaphor for someone losing their direction in life. Short but to the point, with similar sounds to the Cheque...I suppose I did finish that song after all. enjoy...
I wrote this as a Caribbean Love song. It has a nice beat, a lot of percussion and a relaxed feel to it. Just sit back in your hammock, sip your tropical rum drink, put on headphones and enjoy it....
If you would like a free CD version, leave an email address in our contact bubble caption or email me at Bassman12bar@gmail.com and I will arrange a CD version for you to have...
