Sleepwell and warm my love no chords, repeated figures and riffs No need to thank me I've never understood I've never seen the logic Don't ever think I could If there's a reason It's long out of my grasp I've never heard a question I've never had to ask Sleep well and warm my love Sleep through all the night Sleep well and warm my love I'm with you every night Sleep well and warm my love Sleep through all the night Sleep well and warm my love We'll meet again in light My mind it wanders I wonder does yours too Going round in circles Coming back to you Don't say you're sorry There really is no need It's not like you ignored me Or paid my needs no heed Sleep well and warm my love Sleep through all the night Sleep well and warm my love I'm with you every night Sleep well and warm my love Sleep through all the night Sleep well and warm my love We'll meet again in light If you'd never walked this earth My world would never turn If I'd never held you close The lack of touch would burn My eyes are wide open My blood pumps in my veins My arms are just as wide To welcome you again Sleep well and warm my love Sleep through all the night Sleep well and warm my love I'm with you every night Sleep well and warm my love Sleep through all the night Sleep well and warm my love We'll meet again in light

chance 08:23
Chance Capo 2nd fret Em Am6 looped If there’s a chance Then we should take it We can only see What will be will be There’s no way That I could fake this The only me I can be is me Only be what we can be Only be what we can be Just one chance Seems unlikely But we only know What history shows… Open Roads And a promise To only go Where the flow will go If there’s a chance Then we will take it Everywhere That we could go To travel 5000 miles A single step Brings you to me Only be what we can be Only be what we can be If it’s a dream Then let us dream it Every night Just the same Cross the line One pull to break it Every dream Just the same If there’s a chance We should chance it And let it be What it will be We only have Just this one life And let it be What it will be

Recovery Capo 2nd fret Instr: Em Am6 Cmaj7 Fmaj7(sus4) Vocal: Em Am Bm Em They said that things Could only get better But they stayed the same They said we’re In this all together But I’m still to blame With your face in the gutter Does it feel….. Like recovery to you They said the drugs would make me fly I crashed into the sun They said that one drink Wouldn’t hurt me But I never stopped at one With your face in the gutter Does it feel….. Like recovery to you

The Taste of a Tear Capo 5th fret Verse: Em Dm6 Chorus G D Cmaj7 It’s just a mood It will surely pass Like the phase of the moon Each one wont last The taste that I fear Is the salt of the sea Any sort of a tear You could shed for me Here comes the rain It’s pouring down Like a torrent of tears Enough to drown The taste that I fear Is the salt of the sea Any sort of a tear You could shed for me Inst The taste that I fear Is the salt of the sea Any sort of a tear You could shed for me But your tears they appear As tears of joy Any fears that you fear Put away like toys The taste that I fear Is the salt of the sea Any sort of a tear You could shed for me

about

One of the few advantages of getting older by the day is that every 'new' trend in music is quite obviously an old trend revisited and wearing new jeans.

I was listening to my iPod on shuffle and some proggy pink floyd was quickly followed by massive attack. Rather than jarring I could see the similarities and shared styles. This made me think about marrying the repeated 'samples and loops with the extended grooves of 70's rock.

'Trip-Prog' was born! 'Chance' from this CD was the first step. I didn't want to use loops but rather to record 'live' repeated phrases allowing errors and misses to created the organic feel of the record collections of my youth.

Although 'Chance' & 'Recovery' are the obvious offspring of these ideas, I've tried to use that mindset in each song on this CD, so hopefully the '70s vibe is present even if the song and the structure aren't apparent... whether I've succeeded is in your ears not mine.

As always my songs are published by "Songs to Amuse" and the Randy Newman cover is a Warner / Chappell owned song.

about

the dolphin post Norwich, UK

all the work of someone who really should know better but still can't stop, recorded late at night hence the hushed voices so as not to wake anyone.

instrumental agility is probably described best as 'enthusiasm over accuracy'

Thanks to my label and designers Jupiter's Moon
