Week 28 – 11th July 2014 – The Heat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQdv5k3vJQU&feature=youtu.be I am in Melbourne, Australia.  I decided to write without censoring myself and see what my subconscious came up with.  It seems to be a splitting up song, which is a little odd and not relevant at all, but I like the song.  Recorded as the winter sun streams in through the windows.  I’m […]

Week 27 – 4th July – I Love The Queen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sERhWvN_bjI Happy 4th July! I am in Sydney – opening Tina C. Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word at the Opera House tonight. So I’m posting a new Tina song I wrote a couple of weeks ago. It’s for the new show about Empire and the Commonwealth, and it’s Tina’s song she wrote for […]

Week 26 – 27th June 2014 – The Traveller

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4oLSQ5hkg8 This is a song about being en route – that strange dislocated feeling when travelling alone that you’re in suspended animation somehow. I don’t hate it, but it’s odd. I resist it but it always seems to happen. I’m travelling to Sydney tomorrow. This is my projection of how I might feel. I reality […]

Week 25 – 20 June 2014 – Check Your Pool Boy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgy8TqUO9oI Another new Tina C. song.  Thanks for the messages from those who liked last week’s inspirational country anthem.  This is about the athletes who disappear every time there’s a big sporting event like the Olympics or the Commonwealth Games.  Some seek asylum but some just disappear.  Tina heard about this and decided to start […]

Week 24 – 13 June 2014 – Why Breathe?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPnGbSlT2bQ written and performed by Christopher Green OK. So this is a first. I’ve never filmed a demo of a Tina C. song before. But I’ve been writing a bunch of Tina songs this week for her new Radio 4 project about the Commonwealth. Seems funny to be singing as Tina but as myself, but I […]

Week 23 – 6 June 2014 – Not Forgotten

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzpuSbC_KRE A song for my little son. Not Forgotten I know you won’t remember today I know you won’t remember me saying, that I love you, but I do. I know you won’t remember these trees I know you won’t remember my need To laugh at your laughter To smile when you smile at me […]

Week 22 – 30 May 2014 – Winter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SXhyz_73Iw It was really cold this morning. This song was the response. The unexpected feelings took me to places I wasn’t expecting. I recorded it straightaway, as you can see from the amount of layers I’m wearing I hadn’t entirely warmed up. Winter The snow is warming me Seducing me And cleansing me The snow […]

Week 21 – 23 May 2014 – Spiral

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWcJm61zLQA This week’s song has words by C S Lewis and tune by me. Lewis’ book A Grief Observed is extraordinary and a huge comfort to me when I was first in the strange land of grief. But I would humbly suggest that everyone should read it. If the idea of reading a book about […]

Week 20 – 16th May 2014 – Sing-a-long

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trrEzn6-HPc This is something of a hard song to share.  It about that period of adjustment in the first year that I was living alone for the first time in my life.  As a widower I had an intense relationship with my own sense of existence.  What did it mean to exist as opposed to […]

Week 19 – 9th May 2014 – Hymn Written On A Train Leaving Ghent

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IrpCqlP65M A song I wrote in Belgium and it really was that moment of watching the beautiful landscape and realising how much I was part of the moment and not part of the moment. It’s a beautiful moment that references immense joy and immense pain – the pain and joy of existing and of not […]
