Walking With You (Raw Instrumental)

Walking With You is an instrumental song that I composed back in Spring 2005. I never really wanted to make a proper song out of it though; it was more of me expressing my feelings when I was walking with "her", through my guitar.

At that time we were heavily influenced by Foo Fighters, one of many other great bands. In this song, I used a part of the opening riff from their song February Stars, but very subtly. Tell me if you can recognise which part of the song it is. I doubt you can :)

I am not sure if we ever want to make this a proper song. She has become a thing in my past; joyful yet shameful times. Plus, I kinda like it the way it is. Please excuse the recording quality though; it is a raw recording that I did for personal keeping. Never thought about recording a proper one.

Trivia: The artwork above is an actual picture of me and "her" along Cardiff Waterfront in spring 2005.

Second Time of Your Life (Raw Instrumental)

A tribute song for Greenday, a band that have inpired us massively (me the most I guess) in our (my) musical journey and interest. Truth to be told, the first song I learnt on a guitar was Basket Case by Greenday in a little jungle when I was taking part in a Boys Scout Camping trip back in 1997.

Second Time of Your Life is a result of our own rendition of one of Greenday's best songs called Time of Your Life. We used the same chord progression with slight improvisation in the rhythm of the song.

This song was suppose to be the band's second song when it was only Izzy and John, known as The Wilkinsons. But sadly we never really had the chance to finish it. I am not sure why. We never really recorded it and there's no lyrics, hence the instrumental nature of it. All I have is this raw recording with only my guitar.

Hopefully one day I will be able to finish off this song.

Trivia: This song was never completed and was never played/released.

Thinking of You (Live)

"Thinking of You" is the first ever song produced and recorded by the band when it was known as The Wilkinsons. The song was recorded live with nothing more than a cheap PC mic using Windows Sound Recorder. This song was previously unreleased.

Trivia: This song was first performed live at Jason's party (our neighbour then) by Izzy.
