If you want to listen to a modern anti war song listen to " Sunset Boulevard"

Sunset Boulevard:
â If hell exists weâve found it here, a 100 degrees of boiling fear, 100 degrees of madness and despairâ

An American GI based in Iraq describes his emotions and experience of living in a terrorist war zone 24/7 , and how he uses his imagination to escape from where he actually is for a short while.
What you wonât hear in this clip is the haunting guitar solo at the end.


Virtual Reality:
The Earth has been destroyed by pollution and Nuclear War, People now live on the Moon and the only way to relive the beauty of the Earth and it,s places is by trips through a virtual reality machine.


Evenings alone with Jessica:
The title song about my evenings alone with my guitar, contemplating life and writing songs.


Baltimore:
A romantic but sad song about a young man who leaves his sweetheart during the potato famine in Ireland to find a better life in America .


Timoleague:
A spiritual song about the ruins of Timoleague Abbey, in the beautifull little village of Timoleague standing next to an estuary in Southern Ireland.


The breeze of passing time,awaits for no man.


Maybe it Itâll happen in the next life:

â Ever get the feeling something wasnât meant to be? No matter hard you try,
You get up, dust yourself down and come back, only to be knocked back down again,

First impression is that this is a dark, broody, selfish song, about the trials and frustration of life, and the despair of not being able to reach your ambitions, you could look at it that way but it was meant to contemplate the theory that this life is a test of character and strength, and that to much emphasis on yourself and reaching your ambition in this life could be seen as an act of selfishness ,and that it is also important to put ambitions aside to take care of your loved ones and other less fortunate folk, Jesus was a humble person who followed this principle and set an example that you shouldnât look for reward but if it does come, it may not be in this lifetime , it could be in your after life, or your next life if you believe in reincarnation.

The clip ends just before a bluesy guitar solo.
