Something That I Need

I wrote this song when I was 21, so many things have changed in this time, especially the recording approach. The original was synth heavy very much in the style of Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight" and I love that version but this version takes the song

I wrote this song when I was 21, so many things have changed in this time, especially the recording approach. The original was synth heavy very much in the style of Phil Collins “In The Air Tonight” and I love that version but this version takes the song back to the acoustic guitar, with a little bit of slide and lead courtesy of my friend Mark Shipton. I hope that you give it a listen and more…

New song or old, lol new release

No Matter

Sometimes the world just gets you down, you look outside and world looks as miserable as you feel, but the rain clouds won’t stay and if you are with someone special they can make all the difference. Love to me means no matter what life throws at you at least you have someone who cares and loves you for who you are. This song is how I feel, and I think that most of us feel if we are with the…

More To Life

Life is tough and we must make choices, sometimes those choices are for love and sometimes not. What are we but slaves to the machine? What was the line in that song that Sting sung? If you love someone set them free. We stay put often because of the feelings of other people and our dreams stay dreams and we live the lie. Prisoners of guilt and shackled by the chains of love. We have such short…

Nothing Stays The Same

Sometimes it is so difficult to find two minutes to yourself. I remember the silence of Sundays, the shops were closed, virtualy everyone was off work, the pubs and shops had restricted opening hours. No computers, next to nothing on the TV, I used to be so bored; now like everyone else I have become an information junky, even when I am watching a movie I am on my phone trying to find out the…

Woman To Love

I wrote this song when I was single and never knowing if I would find a woman to love. A bit of bravado, but that goes with the territory. The single has been released in all the usual locations, Friday night, nowhere else to go but homeA single room, which doesn’t even have a viewWhere am I going, my life it seems to gone so wrongThe days are going, and nothing seems to turn me onExcept the…

Coming Home

This is one of my favourite driving songs, especially when I am driving home or where I feel my home is. The YouTube video features many of the roads that we have travelled in Scotland, a place that other than New Zealand, is a place that I feel very at home in. A long, long drive through the nightI’m feeling tired but I keep on goingMy left and right, I’m following the lightI’m coming home to…

Mind Games

To be in a relationship for just not wishing to move on, is understandable but foolish. If the flame of love dies and all you have is the embers then life becomes very cold. This is my first release of 2024, but the song was written back in January 1983. It still is a favourite of mine even after all these years, and I am happy with the recording. I hope that you like it too. Here is a preview…

Well Done, Susie

I am very proud of my wife, she started her website www.susiehunter.co.uk about 10 years ago, as a way to share stories of our lives and her recipes so that friends and family could make the dishes that she had cooked for them. When her granddaughter Imogen went of to University, although the recipe was on Susie’s website, Imogen wanted to see just how the recipe was made, so we created a YouTube…
