I’ve finally finished my first EP (I wrote some of the songs over a year ago) Can’t believe it took me SO long to record just five tracks!!! How does anyone ever make an album???
Anyway it’s new for me to have written some songs and also for ME to be singing them! I know my voice is pretty average (if that!) and it makes me cringe a bit, but I think it’s good to sing your own stuff, so I hope it works well enough not to spoil it for you!
I’ve put a lot of effort into making this but I have no idea what (if anything!) it might be worth to anyone else, so I’ve put it on bandcamp as a download, where YOU can choose the price…. whatever you think it’s worth or can afford : -) You can put a zero if you want and get it free…not sure if there’s an upper limit, lol!!
Anyway, whether you like the songs or not, any feedback (keep it constructive!) is welcome..this is all very new to me and I’m learning as I go along.
Thanks for listening…or if you’re not listening, that’s OK!!!
All tracks feature one or more Cigar Box Guitars…no regular guitars used!!

I'm gonna have my say in a music critic stylee-its just easier to put what I think across in that sorta format-
Bemusics EP opens up with a song based around a blues motif, but, for this listener, its after the opening track has come and gone that we truly enter the Alice in Wonderland wormhole of Bemusic, and what a wonderful world it is.
If music were a butterfly, or a walk in the woods in Autumn, it'd probably sound like this.I'm not ashamed to say I listened to Falling with watery eyes, because for me its about watching my mum depart with her Alzheimers.Of course theres a skill in writing lyrics that the listener can interpret in their own way and thats quite in evidence here.
After the exquisite gentle pain of Falling things take on a decidedly African twist in Spring Song.One expects it to be an out and out jolly romp with its unassumingly optimistic title, and musically it is.Lyrically it reveals, perhaps,the singers cautious,genteel approach to life, especially the last two lines-"dont know where I'm going, so I'll just take my time."
Being the kind of person thats never happier than when he's miserable,this listener delights in the melancholy 'Long Way Home'.The softly picked cbg,the ethereal vocal-and here is what makes Bemusic special-it fills ones soul with a distinct sense of Britishness-Scarborough Fair,rainy afternoons,grey skies,a faded union jack,autumn leaves,a sense of history,almost monastic,certainly choir like vocals.Wonderful stuff.
And so to "how it Ends'- as soon as the vocal opens you know its going to be great.Everything that makes Bemusic special can be found here-the open to interpretation lyrics,the understated playing,the raindrop like glockenspeil accents.-the truly gorgeous (and distinctly unaverage!) vocal/harmony work,..so treat yourself and enter the world of Bemusic..no need to knock-she knows you're coming..
'If You're Not Listening,Thats OK ep'-A gentle triumph.
thanks Petey, Furry, Darren, Col and Diane!!
Col, yep it's me on harmonica...never really played it before but the song seemed to be asking for it. Luckily it was only asking for something VERY simple,lol!!
Petey, I'll answer all your questions tomorrow when I have a bit more time : -)
