Welcome to the songsets page.

If you know the songset you want click on the list on the right. If not there's a list with longer descriptions below.

Each songset page has these features:

- a Wimpyplayer that lets you hear the songs, nice and streamed on broadband. You can download them as mp3s as well, if you should so wish
- lyrics for each song just a click away
- notes that give you some insight into why I wrote the damned things in the first place
- credits, usually just me and my faithful guitars, sequencer and sound modules, although sometimes there are proper musicians involved.

Go on - have a listen.

Lights - 'Pictures at an Exhibition', only less so.
One Another - it's a past, but not much of one.
Stations - the one about going on a journey, you know, through life and everything.
Signs - it's got songs based on the Zodiac, which seemed like a good idea at the time.
Coastline - inspired by walking the Suffolk coast. Co-written with Chris, there are lots of watery images, if not eyes.
12 Ending - Wrapping up the older songs and - whoa - did someone mention a musical?
11 Drifting - Still recording despite life seeming to pass me by.
10 Travelling - Songs recorded in deepest Devon with Chris, so at least the arrangements are interesting.
09 Reconsidering - got no inspiration? Then take a some old song fragments and finish them off with your new-found maturity.
08 Tracking - First attempts at home recording and latter day attempts at making them sound better.
07 Holding - Holding on in quiet desparation as the Floyd once said.
06 Falling - For what is a man, if he has not written a love song, or indeed fourteen of them?
05 Searching - Look out, here comes the first song cycle.
04 Engineering - At last he's in a proper studio.
03 Sharing - What's sung in the bedsit should stay in the bedsit.
02 Learning - OK so the honeymoon period is over - what does he do now?
01 Beginning - it's the first attempt at songwriting and all that implies.
