  1. Hi guys, it's been a long long time since I posted here. This is a new project, first track completed yesterday. I co-wrote this with Jay Brown. It is performed by Jay Brown & Lewis Rumney, produced & mixed by Mattie Foulds at Caribou Recording. https://soundcloud.com/user-497945870/say-the-right-words
  2. Hey Donna, always sorry to hear about something like this. Leaves a huge horrible taste in the mouth. It would be great to get as much detail about this guy up on a forum like this. It would let us all steer well clear of him. Any names he goes by on other sites like this would be much appreciated by everybody i'm sure . Hope you get it all sorted & the guy is blocked on as many websites as possible. Alan
  3. On a more serious note, & this will be my last post, I don't want to hog this topic hahaha but this is a wonderful version of Springsteen's "I'm on Fire". The late Stuart Adamson, still an inspiration.
  4. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol Scottish style wi' bagpipes! I will apologise first ( but, i quite like it) "The Red Hot Chilli Pipers"
  5. this is awesome. Takes a wee while to get going, but!!!! Thunderstruck as you have never seen it done before. Not sure what AC/DC would make of it
  6. yes, well written with great imagery. I love this : All I ever wanted, I will never know In a field of crow, that failed to scatter While the ground lay covered in snow.
  7. This is just a little fun poem tellin' the story of a day in the life of a shepherd here in Scotland. ( Yes, I used to be one) PS, it flows along quite well to the tune of All Shook Up by Elvis OUR WALK OF LIFE Peat smoke drifting from a chimney stack Snow blows over every step of my track Bent right over like a half shut knife Trusty dog at my heel, it’s our walk of life. It’s our walk of life. I raise my head, just to snatch a look The driving sleet blinds, every step that I took My left hands warm inside my oilskin suit. The right hand’s frozen to my Shepherd’s crook There’s ice clogging up my tackety boot The smell of wet dog, coz the dog has shook There’s a murmur on the right from a babbling brook A life so idyllic in that picture book Peat smoke drifting from a chimney stack Snow blows over every step of my track Bent right over like a half shut knife Trusty dog at my heel, it’s our walk of life. It’s our walk of life. My face is numb, it aint got no feel There’s a pain down below, it’s a blistered heel! The storm clouds darken to my dislike I seek shelter at the back of a drystane dyke I coorie down close, dog’s havin’ a scratch The zippo is bust, I ain’t got no match The final insult, now my temper’s frayed The pain & torture, the cigarette’s delayed. Peat smoke drifting from a chimney stack Snow blows over every step of my track Bent right over like a half shut knife Trusty dog at my heel, it’s our walk of life. It’s our walk of life. I head off home, i’ve just about had enough, The sheep are all fine, my the Blackies are tough The dog smells a rabbit, he doesn’t think twice, Rather be home in his kennel where the straw is nice A spring in my step, I almost reach a jog With my faithful companion, my bonnie sheep dog. Who would walk with me to the ends of the earth, But would rather get back to that fireside hearth Peat smoke drifting from a chimney stack Snow blows over every step of my track Bent right over like a half shut knife Trusty dog at my heel, it’s our walk of life. It’s our walk of life.
  8. Maybe a bit late in joining this, but can't help notice that my personal favourite has yet to make an appearance on any lists. The late great Stuart Adamson of Big Country. Not just an amazing lyricist, but an awesome guitarist as well. Very much under-rated outside Scotland & the UK. Steeltown, Flame of the West, Just a Shadow, Not Waving But Drowning, to name just a few.................. He sits and says he’s sick and tired of the argument He’s heard them all and it makes no change when the money’s spent And all his life he’s had to watch the way he’s went No less in need no less deceived by the violence For everyone whose life is run by their daily bread Another one holds a loaded gun at someone’s head And we stuck fast and our petty fears are already dead While division rules and tradition’s roles We are all mislead excerpts taken from Not Waving But Drowning, the title was from a Stevie Smith poem. Not a hit song by any means, but the lyrics are typical of Adamson.
