Only Exception - Paramore (Cover)
Takes me back to being a teenager - but such a fabulous song and I think lyrically Hayley Williams is very underrated.
Enjoy x
Lyrics:
When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore
That she would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself
That I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
But you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing

Since it's been 6 years since I last recorded this (with dreadful iPhone audio) I thought I'd give it a renewed 2023 performance. A classic, and one I feel really at home playing - hope you enjoy x Lyrics: I've got you under my skin I've got you deep in the heart of me So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me I've got you under my skin I'd tried so not to give in I said to myself, "T...

Another original song that I started working on over Christmas. I am trying to be more open in 2023 and just put demos out there, as I'm hoping the more I focus on new material the better I'll get (maybe!?) This is I suppose a song about loss of identity, and all those insecure thoughts that I think most of us share/have in common - even if we won't always admit it. Lyrics: Verse 1 Did I really...

Merry Christmas :) Lyrics: Santa baby, slip a Rolex under the tree, for me. I've been an awful good guy, Santa buddy, and hurry down the chimney tonight. Santa buddy, a 65 convertible too, steel blue. I'll wait up for you dude, Santa buddy, and hurry down the chimney tonight.

I think this is in the top ten best ever written songs both musically and lyrically. Totally heart wrenching - hopefully my approach to this cover does the song at least some justice.

I've always wanted to write a classic Jazz ballad, here's my honest effort with a lovely song about heartbreak! (a classic topic haha) Lyrics: Sing me a song It needn't be long But just sing it Like We're Still in Love I know that it's late And your minds been made But won't you sing Like We're Still in Love? Please just don't leave me yet Cause I know I'll regret Not holding on to the girl I'v...

A step away from ballads into something more swinging, hope you enjoy x Lyrics: You and the night and the music fill me with flaming desire, Setting my being completely on fire You and the night and the music thrill me but will we be one After the night and the music are done?

Another nice ballad. I first stumbled upon it on Jamie Cullum's first album, love it ever since! Lyrics: I've been around the world in a plane Settled revolutions in Spain The North Pole I have charted But can't get started with you And at the golf course I'm under par And all the movies, want me to star I've got a house and a show place But can't get no place with you You're so supreme Lyrcs t...

It took a long time to process and unpack how I felt after my Dad died in 2013. I think it's fair to say no-one ever stops trying to understand their own grief process, but in recent years I've found music a good language to use to help me. This is a song about things I wish I'd done differently in his later years. Love you Dad x Lyrics: If I still knew you I think I'd ask you how you are If I ...

Bumble Boogie - 52 Weeks of Music!
Переглядів 7263 роки тому
To celebrate reaching my goal of 52 consecutive weeks of music - here is a great boogie number. I first heard this on Jools Holland's Hootenanny back in what must have been 2007/2008. It came at a time when I wasn't really enjoying piano at all and considered moving on from it altogether. This song singlehandedly renewed my interest in practising and playing the instrument, and so has pretty sp...

I'd love to know how it must feel, knowing that you wrote such a timeless and beautiful melody. I know the full version is long, but it simply had to be this way! Hope I did it some justice.

so nice, this is the best version of all in my opinion! Can you do a version filmed from above? By the way I noticed that in the outro you played white christmas hahaha cheeky guy
Splendid job mate!
This is such a great cover!
A fabulous interpretation of this song that, like all the songs created by geniuses too quickly departed, is ageless.
A superlative performance musically and vocally speaking, a real gem that you've given us here. Bravissimo!
Really beautiful

Unreal. I love this song, both the original and the Jamie Cullum version. But your cover is easily the best out there!
