Come on Baby

heres a snipit dan playin at a house show in the mount, a great little song called ‘come on baby’ I assume?  Its a tiny clip, just makes you want more. There’s a sweet version of him and I doing Dylan’s ‘I was young when i left home’ around somewhere, which one of us willl no doubt post eventually…

A short film or something….

This a short film or a documentary or something… spent the last year slowly putting it together.

We went on tour and had all this footage, after looking at it a few times, I found the less interesting parts, more interesting. So tried to make a sort of behind the scenes diary of random road-tripping, with no performances or narration just things as they happened. Filmed by everyone on tour, edited by me. Hope you like.

Summer so far…

Auto-tune the news

These guys are genuis! they have a lot of of time on their hands, but this is so clever.

Off cuts

I’m writing lots at the moment for my next album.
the weird thing about this whole thing, is that only about 10% of what you write ends up on an album (or even makes it to the B-side bin). So I already have lots of songs and some lyrics that I like, but I know will never see the light of day.

INSOMNIA’S PRAYER

I tossed and turned last night
I couldn’t get to sleep
the dancing street the galaxy
was moving inside me
I started counting sheep
but they all started counting me
I tossed and turned last night
I just couldn’t get sleep

I wrote this song last night
So I couldn’t come around
The midnight seems to hold me up
and I’m not coming down
I keep on searching aimlessly
until the words are found
I wrote this song last night
So I couldn’t come around

I broke the rule last night
I was playing in the fire
I knew that it was bad but baby
that just took me higher
I walk around all day
and I know that I’m a liar
I broke the rule last night
I was playing in the fire

I tossed and turned last night
I couldn’t get to sleep
I have to get up early
cos I have some place to be
but I cant help the feeling
Lord I know it can’t help me
So I tossed and turned through all the night
I could not get to sleep
