If you wanna a listen. Ok. If you want to know what they are about--
1) As Time Slips Away-- About an argument with a close person and the negative effects of multiple arguments have had over the years
2) The Tide Rolling Out To A New Life-- No Comment
3) By The Sea-- About wanting to commit suicide by walking into the sea whilst at the same time imagining that the sea is welcoming you, and that the crashing of the waves are actually whispers of hope
all myself. any drums are preset on either my friend's (markyspark) Yamaha electric piano or Casio wk3800 Bass is also the keyboards and then I would perform a live take on my 8 track which has simultaneous inputs
I have listened to all three and the one thing they have in common, apart from you, is a very melancholy feeling. Have you no pacier more up-beat songs?
It's very hard to write and even harder to let others in on things that are personal to you so well done for being brave.

Liked them , a kind of Crowded House ness about them, their more slower and melancholy ones that is.
Sound quality seems quite good as well, are you using 1/2 inch or 1 inch tape and I take it you have a decent mixing desk.

Nice photos, decent quality recording as BG says - you still seem a bit depressed though -or is that just my imagination?

I have one of these MR-8HD | 8 Track Digital Multitracker | Fostex
definitely one of the best things I have bought But rather than mix on the machine-- I transfer the wave files and mix it on the PC. I also have a PA that I had set up at home for a while when I lived in Clayton-- I lived on a gable and got away with using it for a while

A lot of the pics come from this site back when I uploaded the songs to yotube. I hope nobody minds their use-- I make no profit from them. Perhaps I wrote all these songs in the winter; when my vit D levels was low and I didn't know it

Very nice, I always liked the stuff Fostex's made, back when I was young I used to play round with a Tascam Portastudio 144, Portastudio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, if I was really lucky I could use my Dad's Teac A3440, which I still have.
Well dome mate

I couldn't listen to them all the way through at first because my computer was playing up and wouldn't play them all the way through. The 3 tracks are well put together - well done!
