Paul is taking classes in philosophy and I asked him to write a lyric based on this. Guitar rock recorded 26/10/2003. 'Close your eyes, look around, open your mind, see what you've found'. Great lyric Paul, cheers mate.
Self-Composed songs written and recorded at home. A variety of styles.
My pal, Paul Valentine writes the lyrics and I write the music.
The first recording of a new idea.
There is no bass on most tracks. These are rough first-take demos.

Lyrics
Can’t turn water to wine, can’t open a closed mind.
Can you know when you’ve had the call?
Can you know anything at all?
Because I can, I think therefore I am.
Don’t give a damn, I think therefore I am.
You can reason ‘til your blue in the face,
I can shoot you down, put you in your place.
So take your shot, present your case,
It doesn’t mean a thing; it’s all a waste.
Because I can, I think therefore I am.
Don’t give a damn, I think therefore I am.
And you’d better believe it,
All the things we think that we know,
Are based on life from so long ago.
Theories, morals, what’s wrong and what’s right.
It ain’t as easy as simple black and white.
If you don’t see what ain’t there,
You can’t breathe, there’s no air.
Close your eyes, look around,
Open your mind, see what you’ve found.
Because I can, I think therefore I am.
Don’t give a damn, I think therefore I am.
