I can't calm her down
This is the third of 5 Original songs, and it goes by the name of "She freaks". This one developed out of a days jamming with "Steve Morgan". I'd done a rough sketch of the song before, and all the missing bits had been filled in by the end of the session. It's another one of those songs about a couple in a relationship. One of them being placid and the other being flighty. It's not just the girl that flips. It can be the other way around. Some will listen and know exactly what I'm talking about. Have a listen.
Another no show on the album, but still a good song in my eyes. Perhaps because I had so many others to choose from, and I wasn't totally happy with the production. Check out some sound clips of songs that did make it to the album through my website at:
Here is another interesting link for you if you feel like it. Not so long ago, I went to a friend's wedding, which was held on the Isle of man. I have to say, it's probably the best one I've ever been to. I thought I'd provide a link to some of the many, many photograps taken on that weekend. I'm in one or two of them. Their favourite of me is where I was captured standing windswept on the top of mount Snaefell. Go take a look :)
My Dad. Part 7.
Nan always adored my father. Regardless of all the things he did. Everybody else in the family looked like a saint compared to him. He was just likeable. I was unaware of his existence until I was 18 years old. After I found out, I pondered over it for a little while and then left it until I was 21. I finally found him through my Grandmother Lily. Another person I'd never met. Once I discovered where she lived, I just went straight up to the front door. I didn't really know what to think as I was waiting outside the door. I'd seen all these long lost reunions on T.V. and they were all emotional, but I have to say that I felt nothing like that. Only curiosity. When the door opened I was greeted with a little white haired lady who just said "Hello". I think I said something like "Hello, are you Lily?". To which she replied yes. I then said to her "I'm John's son. Jeffrey". She just smiled and invited me in. I was quite surprised, because she lived in a neighbourhood that wasn't very pleasant. I could have been anybody, and she just invited me in. Maybe she saw the resemblance. I have been informed on more than one occasion that my father and I look alike. She put the kettle on, and got the biscuits and old photographs out to view. During my visit, she called my father on the telephone to arrange a meeting with me in a local public house. Amazing with hindsight because he avoided other offspring.
The day arrived to meet him and I turned up at the pub, initally going into the wrong bar. When I finally went into the right bar, there was a crowd of people in the corner, and he was among them. What do you do in those situations. I just homed in on him and said "Hello Dad". Then gave him a quick hug. For me, there was virtually no emotion in that embrace. After all, this is first time I'd encountered this person. He was a stranger in my eyes. He seemed pretty nervous to begin with, but once the ice was broken, a party mood ensued.
More on this to come, and some more celeb stuff.
