"Damocles (anyway)" - Rick Jones
Lyrics;You hang over my head, like a question mark,And I swear I'll cut the thread, Like you you broke my heart,Who'd be king for the day, anyway?I never wanted the crown,I feel you crashing...

I have been listening to a lot of the amazing folk guitar player, Nic Jones, and I found a recording of his version of this, I like it better than the North-Eastern version about drinking etc....it seems positive. It reminded me of my two young sons, so I thought I'd try and play it myself! Learned it as I went really!

A couple of raw demos for you;

A couple of Raw Demo versions;

I decided to make use of the little recording device I've been carrying around for interviewing people for the last few months, and catalog some 'work in progress' songs /ideas I've had. I uploaded some rough demos, these are literally; Guitar-recording device-computer-uploaded.....no effects or mixing of any kind, just one take into the mic and chucked up on line. 
I figured it's good to bare yourself every now and then, keeps you real!

Please excuse the 'singing', I was just half assed because I was tracking ideas, the thought of posting them up came later....
