Afraid of the rain

So here is the new song.  It's called Afraid of the rain, and as I mentioned in the previous post it's inspired by some pretty naff weather - which by the way is NOT normal for this time of year, even in the Netherlands.

Hope you like it, even though it's not really apt if you are having a "proper" summer :-)

A shouty tune

So, the last tune I recorded was a shouty thing I composed a couple of years ago.  It's called Agnostic, and it's not really a religious song, more outrage that we are still - as a race - pretty basic in our evolution.

What I'm working on

I am currently working on a new song, inspired by the beautiful weather we have had this summer.  Officially the Worst Summer Since 1906, so it's not just a case not adjusting to a cooler climate, rather the weather has been flippin' 'orrible.  Anyway it has lyrics, and basic structure, and is just missing a bridge, so as soon as it is ready I will publish it somewhere.  I am a big fan of '80s music, and I was pleasantly surprised when I realised there was an air of Hugh Padgham about it.  Hugh (in the photo above - no, it's not me!!) was along with Trevor Horn, one of the key producers of the '80s.  His work includes Genesis, The Police, Paul McCartney and another of my all-time faves Mansun.

What I'm reading

I'm thoroughly enjoying Brian Aldiss's novel GREYBEARD.  It's classic Aldiss, and you can clearly see echoes of this book (first published in 1964) in the films V for Vendetta and Children of Men.
