A solo effort here. All sorts. Blues, Rock, Jazz, bit Country too sometimes. Experimental even. Not so much in the past but I grew up a bit.

I'm just a muso who is passionate about music. I love performing and writing and would do this full time if it paid the bills. (Dammed reality) I play Bass mainly but do a bit of playing around on guitar as well. I play live in two bands. Quadraphonic, which is a covers band with a few originals and Green Room which is a rock 70s style covers band. Great sound too. Then there is the studio side of my music. Gone WIld has released two albums, the second being a double album. I am also recording a solo album. This is a labour of love for me and when the studio is built I'll be getting back into it. Well, seems I forgot to update this, sorry... We now have a new house with a studio under it. I've recorded a five track CD with Boxcar Brown. Recorded a few more demo level songs which are getting ready for recording soon. Check the facebook page for Boxcar Brown... http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boxcar-Brown/129782483753844 Should give you an idea of what we're like.

Story behind the song

This came from experience. A long hard fought battle that I didn't win.
It's my first attempt using Garageband. All done with the internal mic on my mac. Slide Guitar is a Samic acoustic and 2nd guitar is an Applause acoustic. Kick drum is a big cardboard box with a t-shirt draped over it that I tapped on. had a bit of a cold when I did this so at some stage I'll be re doing the vocal bits and...well fixing it all up.

Lyrics

I’m fighting a loosing battle with my woman and her friend
It’s a cryin shame I’m loosing on her friend she does depend
I been tryin on this battle for such a long long time
The end isn’t comin ‘cause her friend isn’t mine.

Her friend isn’t evil but her friend does deceive
I been tryin to persuade her tryin to make her believe
I been tryin on this battle for such a long long time
The end isn’t comin ‘cause her friend isn’t mine.


Any help isn’t wanted any help isn’t asked
Never looks to the future only lives in the past
I been tryin on this battle and I’m wasting my time
Tryin to help with her future better look after mine

Defeat is admitted defeat is inclined
I fought the loosing battle but I’m still strong in mind
I been tryin on this battle for such a long long time
And the end it is comin "cause her friend isn't mine.
