<p>Distant Eyes is a song I wrote and recorded in 2003. It was one of those rare moments where I came up with the song idea, wrote the lyric, recorded and mixed it all in one setting. This is the only song that has ever happened so quickly for me.</p><p>The lyric is about a lady that is looking for some fulfillment in her life. The many failed relationships has her looking for answers from the Almighty as she struggles with the right questions to ask. </p><p>It was fun to set the acoustic guitar aside for this song and power up the tube amps!</p><p>I hope you enjoy it!</p><p>Farrell Jackson</p>
<p>OK, just down to choosing now which tracks to release first. I've decided to preview a couple of tracks exclusively here before releasing them to a wider audience. Not that this means much I know but it is the least I can do for the enthusiasm I've always found on this site - for any kind of music.</p><p>So, I'm going to be deleting the two tracks from Something Special to make some room. If you don't have a copy of them, better do it now.</p><p>Wow, I'm even exciting myself here...</p>

<p>It's bad luck! This is the first real song I ever wrote. As you can tell by the lyric it was written in the rebelious, flowery, wild sixties. It's a short simple song that took 35 years to resurrect and get recorded, thanks to the digital recording age. I thought about updating the lyric to be more politically correct but for some reason I just couldn't do it. To me it would be like changing the street names of Haight/Ashbury in S.F. Albiet my song isn't near as historical but it comes from the same era and the sixties mind set. He he he...I'm showing my age and roots!</p><p>I hope you enjoy it, dig the spirit in which it was written, and maybe it will bring back some memories or flashbacks for you flower children out there.</p><p>Farrell Jackson</p>
<p>Greets all, <br />This'll be a two parter. With the first half being for the site DJs and the second directed at the site's admin. Those who are familiar with me know how I ended up here. And for those that don't, our comrade in the craft, Devodale sent out an invite on <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Looperman.com</span> and I swung over. And just like the site I came from I can tell that this one has a really huge potential to be great. And just like on that site, I plan on investing myself here in whatever way that I can help it grow and prosper. Both have their advantages and here, it's the chat and radio broadcast features. And with that said, it's time for my first site suggestion.<br /><br />I'm not sure how many of you have been to the internet radio site <span style="text-decoration: underline;">DI.fm</span>, but it's sort of where I've set my standard for streaming audio (with it being pretty much continual all throughout the week, broken only by the occasional ad). One station in particular comes to mind here and is at the heart of what I'm trying to suggest here. The channel is, Replay and varies from day to day on them featuring older recordings. To date, I've heard 2 live sessions and am not entirely too sure if this site could record them (or if it'd even be a good thing to do), but there's one option. I will discuss the second below. Now it's time for an update...<br /> <br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Site DJs</span><br />I'll note that I have somewhere between 85 to 90 tracks on my <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Soundclick.com</span> page (excluding acapellas and remixes of other artists). Including my recently adding 3 of those songs to my page here. So if you would like to throw in any of my stuff to your mix (on here or elsewhere) just send me a message and we'll discuss things further there. <br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Site Admin</span><br />If the site wants someone to create pre-recorded mix sessions to be featured as part of a streaming radio broadcast here (in between the regular DJ spots) shoot me an email and we can talk turkey about me creating some podcasts for the site. My sets usually run anywhere between 45 minutes to an hour and are seamless (running song to song, non-stop). I typically mix Electronica, but can also do other genres (rock, rap, r&b). Once done with the session I provide full playlist information of who was featured, their order, track name, album name, and year of release (if applicable) which can be placed here in my blog (along with a link to download the podcast). I can also do promotional clips for the site if they are needed/desired. <br /><br />And that about sums up this entry. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch next Monday's show. Well all, be easy and I'll talk at ya later on. <br /><br />PV/TC,<br />DV.</p><p>PS. I just noticed a site glitch- Bold text doesn't show up or hold when viewing the entry for some odd reason.</p>

<p>Please call round and listen to this sweet and loving little song called On My Way Home. It was written for all those people who have to spend time away from their family and loved ones. It is sad to go, but wonderful to come home! Such excitement as that plane lands and the car journey home begins! x</p>

<p>As many of you will know there is a Same Song Madness project going on in here.</p><p>Nigel Potter has posted a set of lyrics and invited members to put their own individual take on the lyrics.</p><p>My version of the lyrics is posted here:</p><p><a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Self_Tort/song_focus_13801.php">Just Keep Breathing</a></p><p><br />Those who have dealt with Nigel would be aware of not only his talent, but also his support for his fellow indie artists. I have available a backing track without lead guitar and lead vocals if others would like to add their own take to the track. In particular any of the brilliant guitarists on site who want to have a shot at the solo, any vocalists, in fact it's pretty much an open offer if you want to get involved. I'd love to do a mega mixpo mix of the track. If you'd like to get involved PM me and I'll send you a copy of the backing track. If you just want to add harmony vocals to the present track up here just PM me and I'll give you details of where to send you files.</p><p> </p><p>Cheers</p><p> </p><p>Brian</p><p> </p>
