Original lyrics, music, and performances by me.
Had the funny thought pop up in my head, where you sing children ‘lullabies’ to put them to sleep; what do you sing to a loved one? Especially one you can’t be with.
So my thought was, a ‘Love-a-bye’
I wish I could have afforded a real string section to back this one (and a real orchestration).
Vocal harmonies were the best I could do, sorry…

Soft love ballad/anthem, with just a touch of electric guitar to lift it up.
(Sorry about the vocals; wrote and performed this in one evening. By the time I was singing, it was like 5AM and my throat was blown.)

It’s really more like an old, tragic, Irish folk song, but with a country arrangement.

Just a fun, breathless look forward to a ‘dream life’ away on a island somewhere…
The hardest thing on this as far as production, was getting a good fretless bass performance and sound.

Actually inspired by once seeing a couple in a small car with the music cranked up, sort of gyrating around like crazy. Fun little pop tune.
I just liked the visual of going on a date, cranking up the music, and having all these effects, lights, and lasers, and fog, and everything going off like a real club; getting more and more overblown.
Very happy with my live piano solo @1:52; very Nicky Hopkins inspired.
Car sound F/X performed on a vintage Sequential Circuits Prophet-600 Analog Synth.

I liked the contrast of a song about motorcycle riding done in a romantic/classical style.
Also the contrast of a very feminine name like ‘Tiffany’ sporting leather.
Although I did used to actually play French Horn; on this track I actually performed the French Horn part on keyboard.
