about

Long-time collaborator, Rob Houghton, came to me in early 2012 and asked me to write lyrics and record vocals on a track he’d put together in Reaper, as he was just getting into computer-based recording. Lyrically, the song is about being indecisive and opting to stay safe and stationary rather than risk anything by pushing forward - waiting for the perfect opportunity to find you rather than forging out to make your own future.

lyrics

"Say what you want
It don’t make any difference
Not to be what you deserve
Help me but not
Not what you’re thinking of
And this time I can’t get up

Take what you need from me
I’m waiting by the phone
Go where you need to be
I’m staying right at home

Nice little boxes
They keep us inside
It’s not worth it to limit your life

Take what you need from me
I’m waiting by the phone
Go where you need to be
I’m staying right at home

It’s a minefield
It’s a minefield
It’s a minefield
It’s a minefield

Say what you want
It don’t make any difference
Not to be what you deserve
Take my time
And waste it all away
Someday we’ll look back on this and laugh

Take what you need from me
I’m waiting by the phone
Go where you need to be
I’m staying right at home"

It’s a minefield
It’s a minefield
It’s a minefield
It’s a mind

from BT charity album 2015 (in support of World Cancer Research Fund), released May 5, 2015
www.soundcloud.com/munkykatze
tinyrockets.bandcamp.com

Composed by: Robert Houghton & Charles Tack

Solo artist, also in a band called Tiny Rockets (www.tinyrockets.co.uk). Writing & recording under the MunkyKatze moniker for c.15 years as a way of either getting out music which didn’t fit with the style of band I was in at the time or for experimenting.
MunkyKatze is the name I record and publish my solo music under. I have been writing and recording for many years (since I first had a Tascam 2-track cassette recorder in the 90s). I’ve been in many bands in different roles (I’m a multi-instrumentalist, so I’ve been a drummer, a vocalist, guitarist and bassist) and am presently the bassist in sci-fi punk band Tiny Rockets. My solo work tends to be indie/rock/metal/experimental/electro.

about

The Sounds of Strangers UK

We are a group of BT musicians who have come together (initially as strangers) to create an album of different music from our bands or solo acts to raise money for charity. Our first album is in support of the World Cancer Research Fund UK.
We wanted to contribute our 'sounds' for the album - responding to an S.O.S. appeal from Phil Brunkard who kicked off the project.
We hope you enjoy.
