I thought I’d start highlighting some of my old songs, just to highlight some of the stuff I’m proud of that you might not have heard.

Lines Overheard at a Séance is from my first solo album, Spinning the Compass. I composed it for FAWM 2009 and it was almost entirely improvised, pretty much as you hear it now.

The basic chords, melody and lyrics were written in perhaps twenty minutes. I sat down at the keyboard, chose a suitablyodd chord to begin with, then just started playing.

Lyrically what came to mind as I played – although I subsequently tidied things up for the final version.

Thankfully, when I realised what the title should be, it all made sense.   The words hint at murder and corpses buried in secret, but never spell out exactly what they mean.

I am rather fond of it. And you can download it for free, should you choose.
