Ferryman
Ferryman is the first time that I've written music, or more to the point lyrics, as a way of expressing certain thoughts about current events.
I hope you like it! If anyone has any ideas about what genre you'd call this (well, other than "crap"), please let me know!
Disclaimer: I can't sing. I must get CJ to sing this when we perform it as a band. Oh and he can do the solo too ;-)
For the music technophiles amongst you, this was recorded and produced using Reason and Cubase SX. The guitars and vocals were recorded in Cubase and the bass, drums and percussion in Reason, slaved via Rewire to Cubase. Everything performed by me.

Pretty darn good for a one man effort and a computer. And the singings not bad either.
Shouldn't you be changing nappies though :-)
I like it. However, it seems confused. Like i'm in spain one minute, then it comes across bluesy. Maybe once it has a smooth velvety voice in there (we can't have multiple talents, you do good as a dad and a coder mate!) - there is a section when there is loads of words crammed in too. Just seems awkward there.
But, this aint a diss. I've listened to it about 5 times now and each time it's growing on me - so maybe it was just a first impression. I suppose it's because i know you for something else. It's like me suddenly becoming a man of the cloth!
But yeah fairplay. :)
