SITE OFTEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Feel free to wander around, no need for a hard-hat or steel toe-capped boots and ear defenders would be pointless as you wouldn’t be able to hear the tunes. But do be careful, there may still be one or two things lying around where they shouldn’t be …
INTRO
Welcome to kbviolet.com, home to ‘the songs of Kieran Barry Violet’. Well, some of them anyway.
VERSE
All songs it seems have at least two stories; the song’s own story-line and the story of how the song came to be written. In many cases each of these can also have their own ‘background story’ or stories – it’s a complicated affair. Come to think of it, when it comes to song writing, complicated affairs are themselves a popular choice of story-line.
So, am I a story-teller or a songwriter?
I’m a songwriter, at least that’s my story …
CHORUS
Each page contains a link/video/audio recording of a KB Violet song or a KB Violet co-written song. These are listed by title in the menu. Recording quality does vary as some have been captured on mobile devices so adjustment of volume may be preferred here and there. There is however sufficient clarity of both melody and lyrics in all cases to do justice to both. Also included are a copy of the lyrics, often a PDF chord-chart and perhaps a little look into those ‘stories’.
BRIDGE
Ultimately my goal is to secure a publishing/licencing deal, hence the simplicity of the presentation – the ‘raw song’ – is essentially what you get here. In the meantime I’m only too happy for performers seeking to incorporate original material into their live set to ‘borrow’ mine. All songs are ‘words and music by KB Violet’ unless otherwise stated (I have done a good bit of co-writing too), so please do make that clear. Recording of the songs is obviously a different matter so be sure to contact me in advance if that happens to be what you intend.
Please do feel free to pass on my details to anyone you think might be interested.
Enjoy …
