Song - All There is to See...

>> Right Click to Download

Composition: Tim Hazeldine
Performed by:
Dom McSwiggan: 12 string & bass guitar, backing vocal
Tim Hazeldine: Keyboard, drum programming & lead vocal
Recorded at "Andre's Place", Lincoln, 1986
words & music copyright - TA Hazeldine 1986 & 2005

Biographical Note: Give me a guitarist & a 12-string and I'm going to attempt to sound like REM... sounding like the Byrds. At the time we were dead chuffed with this wistful ditty about a cross-channel ferry going down...due to nobody realizing they had to close the roll-on car doors for the vessel to stay afloat.

biographical note: there were some popular bands like 'Sisters of Mercy', 'The Cult', 'The Mission' & 'New Model Army'. -- a genre too inviting NOT to parody. Though I find this noisy, vapid music almost devoid of any merit to listen to ..... its certainly fun to play. ' Observe Dom's natural goth solo. - scary!
