Yes, I’ve been away for a couple of days, making music. In the past, bands I have sung with have banned me from writing songs on my own, because, without a collaborator to keep me in check, mine all sound like the work of Lenny Kravitz armed with a thesaurus. Working alone for the first time in years I have produced a three-minute pop song you can dance to. I’m playing the few real instruments as well as doing the singing. I hope it’s nothing like Lenny; it certainly contains no big words and, despite being called “Blood Won’t Run Away”, has nothing to do with Iraq or terrorists. If you are interested, you can listen to a rough mix in the following formats:
UPDATE: compressed rough mixes now replaced with these:
- big MP3 [5 MB]
- smaller MP3 [3 MB]
- Windows Media [2.5 MB]
- Ogg [4 MB]
I liked it…It had a haunting quality about it. Good chillout/listening-stylee music, although I could hear it take a few different types of treatments depending on who is producing. (e.g. it could just as easily be an acoustic guitar ballady sort of thing.)
I liked it.

Holy shit. Damian can sing!
Impressed! It had a real film soundtrack feel to it – I saw a bus leaving town in the American Midwest for some reason. Rain. Sean Penn or someone of that ilk. Bass was a bit heavy though. (though maybe that’s the fault of my computer speakers)
