Torch Songs

One Way Conversations

One Way Conversations	video lyrics [play]
It was when she sent me back all my love-letters that I realised that our conversations had been strictly one-way! With the fabulous silky tenor-sax playing of Alexis Van Eeckhout.
Album: Who Knows Where the Time Goes ?

Children of Circumstance

Children of Circumstance	video lyrics [play]
Edgy, atmospheric, electric. A lonely man contemplates a past he cannot change: One of the more poignant tracks on the album.
Album: Russian Dolls

Perfumed Letter Blues

Perfumed Letter Blues	video lyrics [play]
When I was a kid, I was hooked on John Mayall, Eric Clapton and the original Blues men like Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters. This is my tribute.
Album: Who Knows Where the Time Goes ?

Deep Inside the Night

Deep Inside the Night	video lyrics [play]
'Deep Inside the Night' paints a portait of a vulnerable lady looking to the horizon for a better deal. The musical treatment (acoustic guitar, cello and violin) is very spare, and hauntingly beautiful.
Album: Echoes, Waves or Ricochets

Who Whips the Cream?

Who Whips the Cream?	video lyrics [play]
The song has an almost Samba rhythm, with its delicate Spanish guitar accompaniment. I wrote the song after the breakup of my first marriage.
Album: Russian Dolls
