Ok so this is raw, my voice is scratchy and there are mistakes…in other words it’s not very good… but I haven’t uploaded anything for a while and I had some time today…
Happy New Year!
Kingdom Of Comfort acoustic version
So it’s 2012…a new year. So why start with an old delirious? song and not a new one?
A little nostalgia?
maybe…
Actually I think that Kingdom Of Comfort is one of the best songs I’ve ever been a part of writing… and I want to go into this new year remembering the best of the past while living in the now.
I want to keep asking myself what am I building… a comfortable life? Or am I still living with big questions about what I’m here for and how does my living affect others?
Am I deaf to the cries of the oppressed, the poor and the powerless?
I hope that this new year is full of clarity, joy, peace, hope, success and fulfillment for us all!
peace

How I play Majesty:
I had a few requests to post up a video showing how I play Majesty. I’m not really a teacher and I’m not that hot on theory but hopefully this is helpful to those that asked.
Delirious? used to play this in C …with OSS we’ve been doing it in B It’s slightly easier for a man to sing unless you have special pipes like Martin does!
I think I found Howard’s Note between C and B on the way down Check that out Here thank you The Mighty Boosh!
In Nashville I’ve had to get used to learning the number system for chord charts. it’s been a bit like learning a new language but it’s so much easier to change keys and follow arrangements once you’ve got your brain around it.
So anyway, I hope this is helpful, and to those that don’t play guitar, there’s some great stuff coming in the days ahead.
Trust you’re all getting excited for Christmas

I posted on my facebook page the other week if there were any requests for these christmas blogs. I had quite a few folks ask for acoustic versions of songs.
I’ve been playing more acoustically lately, mainly in the company of our amazing friends The Stellas (though they are so good it makes you want to give up!)
I thought it would be fun to record a few of these vids over the next week or so…no frills no HD (i don’t have an HD camera) - one microphone - voice and guitar down one mono channel - warts and all - no auto tune - what you see is what you get
I’m cringing already
This is the song Rollercoaster which first appeared on the delirious? album, Audiolessonover
hope you enjoy the experiment!
