Everyone Gets to Play
I wrote this song when I was literally at a crossroads surrounding a job and where I should be and where I would fit in. Whenever I am at that particular place (this was certainly not the first time and most likely will not be the last), I often wonder if I am just chasing… Continue reading Chasing the Wind
This song was written some time back, but had no bridge, which I felt it needed. As sometimes happens in songwriting, the song sat in one of my song writing books and when playing through it one day, the bridge came to me and so it was back to the recording of the song and… Continue reading Wandering Life
This is a short poem that I wrote sometime back. It is about how going forward in this uncertain life requires some light; often not as much as we would like, but enough.

After “eating” at the wrong table (fulfilling Godly needs with unGoldly “food”) I felt inspired to write this. I kind of imagined the feeling of being alone and in a new and different environment instead of an old familiar but stale one. Last night we watched an old episode of the TV program “MacGyver” where… Continue reading My Old Jacket
Well, it’s been a long time since I have posted anything at all…. The result of moving towns and changing jobs mostly. Here is a short story. It’s about how our hearts are like mandarins. Well, mostly they are like muscle and so quite different to a fruit and not really the same size or… Continue reading A Shrivelled Heart
This song was written in 2012 by Andrew Gould. He was reading Psalm 63 and so he figures that really the words aren’t exactly his. He did a recording of it sometime back, but then rewrote the tune; this is the new version. Andrew is on vox and his Larrivee acoustic, Tanya plays keys, Ian… Continue reading My Soul Will Be Satisfied (Psalm 63)
Jesus Alone Chord Chart (pdf) Jesus Alone Chord Chart (Word doc) This song was written as I thought about Jesus’ death and resurrection and His claims that if you had seen Him you had seen the Father. Further to this is the opening of John’s gospel – ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the… Continue reading Jesus Alone
The origin of this short story is a bit strange, even for me. When I sent it to my daughter to read I wrote … I woke up this morning with the first phrase of this story in my head and then I ran the dialogue along as I lay in bed… and then I… Continue reading An uncertain Dream
I wrote this piece of music after hearing a student at school play a jazz piece. I thought, if they can write a jazz type piece, could I? It was not as simple as I thought, however, I have grown up with plenty of jazzy music being played at home, so it is not like… Continue reading Late Night Musings
Here is the studio version of ‘This is You (Bethany’s Song)’. As I said on the live version, I wrote this for Bethany a while back, but wanted to do the song justice by having other musos play on it. On this version, Simon is playing bass, Ian is on acoustic guitar, I am playing… Continue reading This is you (Bethany’s song) – Studio version
