I wrote this song when I was 19. There wasn't too much to 'write' really - just the repeating guitar part and a couple of lines of lyrics. Added a second (and a bit of a third) guitar to it, and re-recorded it, 5 years hence.

Apparition
Here's my latest recording - a demo for a tune I had been mulling over for a while. By demo I mean parts of it a slightly off, but the overall quality is pretty good - now that I have (borrowed) some good recording equipment.
This blog's been dead for a while, and, in a manner of speaking, so have I. This may be a resurrection, or it may not, but here's something for the moment. The lyrics were conjured up on the fly - I had the tune in my head, and fit in words that sounded appropriate, so in spite of the fact that they look all abstract and Steven Wislon-ey, they're really not:
Pink moon rising, then colliding,
Into fireflies, vaporizing.
Raining stardust, gold and glowing,
Spiral embers ebbing, flowing.
Rising, falling,
Dreaming, sighing,
Sleeping, screaming,
Living, dying.
Sunrise, sunset, moonshine, starlight,
Dawn and dusk and day and night,
A moment here, a premonition,
A wispy ghost, an apparition.
