For those who would like to see a video of me just playing and singing the whole song. No frilly bits. I used a 12 string Rickenbacker electric guitar to lay down the basic rhythm for the song, layered with tones from my Gibson Les Paul to clarify the tune and underpin the bass line. The Les Paul was also used for the solo guitar parts. MUSIC CREDIT: Time I Wasn’t Here, by Torn Chorus Music track is available on all major streaming platforms, such as Spotify and Apple.

While I was composing this song, it seemed to have a "Beatle-esque" quality so I accentuated the catchy, pop style, using lots of vocal harmonies, and highlighted it further in this animated video. I guess you could call it my homage to the Fab Four, as well as to the guitar-driven pop music of the Swinging 60’s & the Summer of Love era. I hope you have fun looking for the various Beatles references scattered through the video.

This song is about how we often miss the obvious, even when it is staring us in the face. It makes a comparison between personal relationships and the relationship we have with our planet. If you like New Zealand music and videos, please like and subscribe. Do you think that Mother Earth is trying to tell us something? Do you think we are even listening? Covid has shown us that we can drastically reduce our international air travel and the planet will thank us for it. But Covid is only a side issue. There are far more destructive threats facing us. With a world population of nearly 8 billion souls, perhaps we need to heed this lesson and completely rethink how we impact on the environment before we completely ruin it. Climate change is only one potential symptom of our wasteful and pollutive habits. The prospect of nuclear war rears its ugly head again and we realise that threat has never gone away. We’ve just been ignoring it. Is it time to stand up for the human race and look after our planet and our fellow beings, or do we go the way of the dinosaurs?

This song is about the 2-edged sword of modern technology and what it means for musicians. If you like New Zealand videos and music, please like and subscribe. The video includes a lot of footage of native NZ birds such as tui, kereru, kotare, kakapo, morepork, kea, takahe, etc. As a musician these days, sometimes I feel like a bird perched on a branch, singing out loud, but never knowing who, if anyone, is listening. New tech makes it easier than ever for a musician to record and produce their output, while social media, such as Facebook and YouTube, makes it supremely easy to distribute and broadcast. The downside is that there’s now so much content online, it’s difficult to get heard above all the noise. In addition, we’re all suffering from information overload and it’s getting so hard to separate truth from fiction.

This is a musical interpretation of actual historical events from ancient times. Many people around the world now recognise Diwali as the Festival of Lights however there is another well-known Festival of Lights, known as Hannukah (or Chanukah), in the Jewish religion. Hannukah is celebrated over eight days because, when it came time for the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, only one day’s worth of pure oil was found to use in the temple’s menorah —which was meant to burn all night, every night—but miraculously the oil burned for eight days. Central to the Hannukah festival is the tale of The Maccabees, a family of heroes who led the Jewish people, in the face of overwhelming odds, to defeat the invading armies and eventually win back their temple in about 160 BCE. I wrote this song to tell that tale. MUSIC CREDIT: The Ballad of the Maccabees, by Torn Chorus Track is on Spotify, Apple Music and all major streaming channels.

Something a little different this time. I did not write this song but it is one that I’ve always loved, so this is my cover version. Erev Shel Shoshanim (English: Evening of Roses) is a poetic Hebrew love song. Its melody is often used in music at Jewish weddings and it is well known within Israeli and Middle Eastern music circles. The music is by Yosef Hadar, the lyrics are by Moshe Dor. Note: I do not own the copyright to this song. The lyrics, in English, are as follows: Let us go out to the grove Myrrh, perfumes, and Frankincense Is the carpet under your feet Night falls slowly And a wind of rose blows Let me whisper a song for you slowly A song of love Dawn and the dove coos Your hair is full of dewdrops Your lips are as roses unto the morning I will pick them for myself Music track is available on my website: https://www.tornchorus.com/music VIDEO CREDITS: Video by Franklin Davis shot on Sony FDR-AX53 4K VIDEO EDITED AND PRODUCED BY: Franklin Davis OTHER VIDEO FOOTAGE CREDITS: Botany Boy Cottonbro Jill Burrow Majestic Flights Maxim Goncharenok MsCh0k Polina Kovaleva Roman Odintsov Timeline Video Productions Videezy
