Paul McClelland-The Colors of the Stars (Fall, 2014)


Not much writing and recording took place during 2014. I did manage to lay down the following tracks, which is the 1st full collection of songs recorded in the Birmingham AL home studio. It started off as an ambient instrumental group of songs, and as a result, Portal and Soft Rain were the 1st tracks recorded. I gradually shifted focus, and this became more of a collection of songs with music AND words, but all I had were a dozen or so 'song snippets' hanging around, so I tied them all together and recorded the collection you hear below. All songs written and all instruments and vocals by Paul McClelland using the 24 track Tascam workstation.


1. The Colors of the Stars
2. Fractured City
3. Portal
4. The Park
5. Blossoming Spring
6. Soft Rain
7. What Am I Gonna Do
8. UFO (Unidentified Falling Object)
9. The Apocalypse Song
10. Short Wave
