Wes Martin

A cover version of Samandtheplants song, from the album The Eft. Myself on piano and vocals, and my imaginary friends Pookie Throttle and Griswald Bench on backing vocals and vibes, man.

Banjo. Synth.

A downbeat song. A few Nick drake inspired chord changes.

Unravel the Moonlight

Unfollow the day

Recover the sunlight

It's showing the way

You'll spend the whole time alone, alone

You'll bring the whole world home, today.

Words undone together

Lives falling apart

Keep fighting the moment

Go back to the start.

You'll spend the whole time alone, alone

You'll bring the whole world home, today.

Written and performed by Wes Martin

I'm in mimicking mode again. More of a homage actually. This one is my version of a Mark Hollis (former Talk Talk) type song. The guy has one weird voice, and indistinct lyrics. Well, here goes

Whether its waking from a bad dream, or a period of confinement, be it spiritual or emotional, there is always the rising sun, the earth turns. Inspired by Philip Glass, I must admit

A few years back I had the pleasure of performing some live music to my mate Ollie's art performance as The Real Charlie Cheese. This is a new piece, and for me it evokes that particular character. Charlie is a modern day jester, fool, pied piper, call him what you will. He nods back to Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel n Hardy....bygone heroes.

Ollie's stuff..

I'm a week behind myself. This is a mellow number, guitar, piano and first appearance this year of the Banjo.

When I did this weekly song project first time around in '11, Bert Jansch sadly passed away. This time, the news of John Renbourn passing away reached me today. A true guitar hero and songwriter, founder member of Pentangle, teacher, solo performer. Amazing dude. I luckily had occasion to meet him a couple of times, sweet guy. RIP

This is a song I wrote this morning thinking about his passing

I wrote a song about oddities. Here it is.

This is week 9, its a pretty chilled one. I tried to get a Zero 7 feel, but you know, without the know how, lol. Anyhow, enjoy.
