About Me


Get this video and more at MySpace.comMy name is John Robertson. I`m from Dundee in Scotland. I try to write songs! I have been trying to write songs for quite a considerable time now....one of these days I hope everything comes together? There`s a song in there somewhere? I express my feelings through music...not a terribly original concept, but honest to me and to my music. I`d played in bands (mostly playing bass) since the `80`s and when my last band fell apart in 2001 I decided to `go it alone` to form the band that was always in my head! I didn`t want to play in rock bands anymore....loud/quiet/loud/quiet! I wanted to play `internal music`...the sound of blood in the veins, the sound of thoughts, the certainty of uncertainty.... Joy! I am learning my own art....I don`t know if it`s of any worth to anyone? I want it to be there.....as much for me as for anybody.
