Artist picture
No claims of being a performer. I just give it what little I've taught myself musically by songwriting. Recorded by mic, straight to computer as sound on sound.
Born at an early age, I was just a kid at the time....from there memory escapes me, until 2000 or 2001 when I decided to teach myself guitar. In order to teach myself guitar, I took to writing songs. From there, I added bass and occasionally, harmonica and a small touch of electric guitar. Not much of a performer, but I love to experiment writing songs. So, it's nine or ten years into it so far....and I've only scratched the surface with tons to learn. Maybe, you'll find something you like on the nearly three pages, I've loaded so far....Comments are welcome, I don't expect all comments to be favorable, but objectively constructive. I make no claims of being a performer....I just give it my best with what little that I've taught myself both musically and in songwriting. All songs are either written, played and sang by myself or my attempt at covering a song by my favorite artists.

Story behind the song
Recorded 1/5/2011 Opening excerpt of Norwegian Wood written by Lennon/McCartney and played by Wade Farlowe Before misinterpretation sets in, I thought it best that I clarify the intent of this song. It is simply a cautionary angle that we keep our eyes on the homefront, our government. Most civilizations have fallen from within and I'm certain others see this as well. Erosion of freedoms are set from within and failure to stay vigilant, ever watchful for all, becomes a failure for each of us at some point or another. When we become systematic to the point of dividing ourselves into groups of Americans seeking this or that, then we take something away. The good of all Americans as a whole should remain prevalent, but not at the expense of again excising ourselves into groups of this or that and certainly not to the point of removing freedom from all!~ It is a fine line, but there are those who may seek such avenues to erode our freedoms, sometimes unwittingly. Violence, however is not an answer.....being watchful, vocal, and mindful of considerations for all should be the glue that keeps us together as one nation, one people, and one for all!~ Peace & Love!

Hi Wade, WOW when did you sneak this in on me? Well you caught my attention right from the opening! LOL! Great lyrics and you are dead on about eroding freedoms and it is a real problem. Government should follow the same rules we do in music. Usually less is more! Fine job Wade some real thought went into this. Does have a Lennon feel to it. Maybe a little more echo on the voice and you are there. Either way an enjoyable listen. Next time let me know!!
