Parenthood diminishes night-life and kills unfulfilled ambitions. Until very recently Shoreditch was my nite-spot of choice as there was a cultural vibe and a dream vibe, but now it's being overdeveloped my dreams are dying with each passing venue.
Artist picture
I find myself shored up with no band, no time, no freedom, no leisure and a world of responsibility. My life is no longer my own. My every pleasure is hard-fought and long-awaited. My every liberty resented. To stay positive and keep my creative and technical muscles flexed I decide to record an album with anyone I can get hold of in whatever scraps of spare time I have available, even solo tracks if need be (although I am not much of a musician or a singer).

Story behind the song
My first attempt to tap into my dreamscape and provide a soundtrack for a dream blog that I occasionally write on MySpace. The guitar riff started as a simple melody that came to me in a dream and I built up the framework of the song around that. I had lyrics but could only find a vocal melody for the choruses and so I called in an old bandmate whose classic indie-style songwriting I have long admired to help me finish the track. He re-worded the verses to make them work with his vocal melody and put in many strong production ideas that transformed and strengthened the sound and the dynamic of the song without completely blitzing the vibe of the original and it became an incredible fusion.
