I'll be uploading songs to this space occasionally until... well, until I run out of songs to upload to this space.
You can also get them as a sort of podcast thing - if you use iTunes to listen to podcasts, click this link, if you use another application copy this link, and if you don't listen to podcasts at all... well... I can't help you, really. Have fun anyway, though.

Most of the tracks on It's Amazing... are upbeat and fast. I was fairly suspicious of what I referred to as "ballads" (i.e. anything you couldn't jump around to), which I think was a hangover from going to heavy rock gigs when I was fifteen. Anyway, this is the "ballad" on this album. Apart from We Have Our Lives, which is just weird.
Yes, I stole the intro. At the time I thought the chances of very many people hearing it were very slim indeed (the initial run was four, don't forget), and now I'm too old to care.

- River Rise
- When the river rises, you and me are going to sail away.
- I don't think I've recorded River Rise before. The bridge and solo are a bit tentative here, but it would be of interest to people who've heard me perform it over the years. It was written, sort of, at Dan Buzzo's place in... well, a long time ago. Late 90s. We were messing about with soft synths and recording and so forth, and I started to improvise these lyrics. Dan cut the track into shape and posted the result to MP3.com (remember MP3.com?). I listened to his version and learned it from that.

- Gravity
- She reaches out and grabs my heel and tugs and I go flying.
- This one has been The New One for almost five years, which says everything that needs to be said about my appalling productivity.

- Crazy Baby, Lazy Charlie
- Research has shown, not everyone has the know-how.
In 1993 I recorded a lot of songs, which I put onto a cassette which was called It's Amazing What Some People Can Believe.
I'll be uploading the whole of it soon, when I've run it through some kind of shinification device in Logic. In the meantime here's the first track on side one.
It took me ages to find the Bb chord in the bridge. Obviously I know where Bb is (in between B and A, where it always was), but I knew I wanted a particular chord there, after the Bm, and couldn't believe it would be Bb, as that was right next door.
