Bedtime Playlist (best songs to listen to when you go to bed)

By -
Everyone has their own rituals and traditions when it comes to settling in for the night, these are some of the most relaxing and melodic songs I have come across in my time.
Feel free to leave yours in the comments.

1) Mogwai – Close Encounters



This song starts of with slow melodic rhodes, and builds into a full fledge symphony of the sandman by the time the song is over.

2) Heroin – The Velvet Underground


This is one of the most iconic songs of rock and roll, and for good reason. It has the ability to take you to a different place when you listen to it in bed with some nice headphones on.
RIP Lou.

3) Wishing Well – Buckethead


This is a true masterpiece, recorded when Buckethead was only 24 years old this song has an instant nostalgic effect on the listener and easily sends you off to sleep without a care in the world.

4) Big Black Car – Gregory Alan Isakov


A beautiful song that I first heard on a commercial, I wont say for what. It seems to be about a mans love for his ladyfriend who might be a bit older than him, or someone he looks up too… sweet dreams.

5) Nightvision – Daft Punk


6) Kathys Song (live 1965) -Simon and Garfunkel


A real classic love song that takes you back to the 1960's for a cold night in New York and a complimentary broken heart. But damn is it ever pretty.

7) Killing The Blues - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss 


Such a good song, If you dont know... Robert Plant was one of the genius's behind Led Zeppelin, now he spends his time enjoying the softer side of life and explores the soft side of his creative genius too! sweet dreams :)



These are my top 7 (for now) bed time songs, feel free to post yours in the comments below!

Song Writing Tips & Tricks

By -
  There are literally hundreds of different methods used to write a song, and every musician has tailored their own rhyme and reason of doing things. Sometimes it’s as easy as playing some piano and having the words write themselves, or it can start with a poem and a mission to find the right music to fit it. I have compiled some of the ways I have come across to write your own music. Please keep in mind that these are only a few of many different ways to come up with your own material, and these are great ways to learn. But you get much more satisfaction if you start from scratch. Enjoy, and I hope this helps.   Scaffolding Stuck? Here’s an old trick to get you going. What a good song offers is structure, repetition, form and balance. Not always easy to create, but easy to borrow. You can build on the form of another song, without sounding at all like that song. Much as a scaffold is used to frame a skyscraper — the scaffold may look familiar, but once removed yields a unique b

Who Were The Highest Rockers Of Rock N Roll? Back when sex and drugs were still a part of rock-n-roll, these legends of rock wrote the book, ripped out the pages and rolled them into a joint. No one is glorifying drug use or dying in a bloody pool of your own vomit. However, it was once not only accepted but expected for musicians to live a life of excess. The mere mortals of the world could live vicariously through these rock gods. Here are 20 of the most drugged-out musicians of the rock and roll era: 1. Keith Richards Rolling Stones   guitarist, Keith Richards, who has frequently made music magazines’ top ten musicians most likely to die, is not ready to dance with Mr. D quite yet. He has spent time with sister morphine, her brother heroin, cousin cocaine and the rest of the family, all while creating a fifty year rock dynasty with partner in crime, Mick Jagger. Despite a life lived as the poster child for rock-n-roll excess, he never overdosed, for which he a

Why Some People Might Be Scared To Try learning A Musical Instrument.

Its really hard to start this topic, because there are many reasons why people take to playing an instrument.Whether they took lessons from a young age (usually because the individuals parents wanted them too) or if they learned on their own later on in life. It doesn’t matter why people choose to play, but its really interesting how many people out there are more than interested in playing learning how to play piano or guitar, but are either too nervous or overwhelmed by the thought of what may lay ahead. Let’s face it, no matter who you are, if you are a musician you know what I mean when I say “the proof is in the punch”, meaning… If you try, and commit to learning while having fun with it.. you WILL learn, but… If you only attack your guitar a couple times a week, and expect to be slingin’ lead licks like Hendrix.. It simply won’t happen. Intimidation: This is a huge factor that plays into why someone might be nervous to try learning an instrument, let’s say you grow up with a
