Original Songs
A new song called Never Been Told and an edit of my tribute to Ireland called Ireland Bound:
Ex’s & Oh’s (Elle King Cover)
My attempt at a cover of Elle King’s single.
I hope you like it.

Gold (original)
Gold
I wrote this at the time when Lance Armstrong’s doping incidents all came to light and the subsequent many others who have been exposed. I think the song is sort of a reflection on that, looking at the person who actually wins the gold despite knowing that they are not worthy of it.
Again a random one.
I hope you like it.
Dusting Off The Guitar
More Music
I got a bit of time to upload some new songs and other ones which I have had the chance to edit. Been a while since I have had the time to do so and it feels good to revisit songs which I haven’t listened to since I recorded them.
So here they are. Ranging from original songs (and an original song / story about the Irish Famine) and a few cover songs too.
I hope you like them.
Rumours (original song about the Irish Famine)
Last Night (acoustic cover of The Strokes song)
I’ll Meet You There One Day (original song for Palestine)
There Won’t Be Many Coming Home (Roy Orbison cover)
Hello (Adele Cover)
Rust (original)
Rivers Run Clear (original)
Creativity Sensitivity
Exam procrastination has drove me to record and put up a few songs that have been neglected. Here is another one…
Probably going to regret not doing more…but here’s an xray of a skull so you know my head is in the right place.
Enjoy.
On The Lonesome Road (original album)
Junior Chills – On The Lonesome Road (original album)
With the onset of fatherhood and a return to education I haven’t had the time I once had to regularly update my WordPress page. However I have been endlessly writing new songs to keep ‘stress’ at bay. I find that writing my songs are the easiest part but finding time to record them is quite tedious. Nevertheless I got a few hours today to upload not just one song but a handful which I have put into a wee album.
The songs explore a lot of different topics well the usual ones that I explore anyway. Although I love playing all the songs I write, I particularly enjoy Daydreaming, Stress and Ireland Bound.
So check it out. Give it a listen to. Find out a song which sticks out for you and let me know. Any and all feedback is greatly received and appreciated.
Hope you enjoy it.

Junior Chills – Dementia
Dementia
This is a song I wrote for my grandad who had dementia and who has subsequently  passed away a few years ago as a result. I hope the song does him justice…

Junior Chills – All In Black
All In Black
This, again, is another one of the shortest songs I have put together. I remember at the time of writing this song I was listening to Johnny Cash ‘Highwayman’ so I guess this is my attempt at a tribute to him. I didn’t even want to attempt to replicate Cash’ singing style (as I have tried before and I sound shite) so I thought I would sing a little differently from my usual style and see how it sounds. I quite like it as it is different…it is a very basic chord structure in the song but I think that is what I like about it. A few Johnny Cash nods are clearly evident in the song so have a listen and see what you think.
I hope you like it.

Junior Chills – Praying In The Stream
Praying In The Stream
I can’t seem to recall where the inspiration for this song came from. I think it was another case of strumming a few chords and the lyrics just followed suit. It’s a very simplistic song which I think focuses on changes in your life. I also the think the imagery is quite powerful…if you can imagine someone standing praying in a stream it would probably scare the shit out of you!
I hope you enjoy it
