The Paul of the House of Usher

My cathartic Korg and I

Paul Usher LIVE at Matt & Phreds Manchester performing a storming rendition of 'Cry Me A River'

Written, arranged, produced & performed by Paul Usher. This is my original James Bond theme song.

Paul Usher performing live an acoustic & slowed down version of Amy Winehouse's 'Tears Dry On Their Own' which is closer to the original demo version she wrote, as opposed to the 'Back to Black' version featuring the 'Aint No Mountain High Enough' sample. I love both versions, but decided to record a slow version just to highlight how good a lyricist Amy was, as well as a fantastic vocalist and musician. Recorded live in one take at Paul's home studio on March 9th 2012. http://www.paulusher.net http://www.facebook.com/paulushermusic http://www.twitter.com/paulusher

Original Christmas Song by Paul Usher. (Not Christmas) Without You Around [2011 Harmony Mix]. LYRICS: Double shots of Christmas spirit Fill up my cup, There's nothing in it Follow that star, I'm drying out the bar Wondering where you are And I know that everybody's out tonight Hugging, kissing, dancing, laughing, loving life, But I know that I can't rest or feel right, Without you by my side It's Christmas now And you're gone, Don't know how Like a King, With no crown It's just not Christmas without you around It's Christmas night But all these coloured lights Just merge with my tears tonight 'Cause it's just not Christmas without you around. Are you stood beneath the mistletoe? Are you kissing in the first few flakes of snow? Seasons come and seasons go, But this year I just don't want to know And I know that everybody's out tonight Hugging, kissing, dancing, laughing, loving life, But I know that I can't rest or feel right, Without you by my side It's Christmas now And you're gone, Don't know how Like a King, With no crown It's just not Christmas without you around It's Christmas night But all these coloured lights Just merge with my tears tonight 'Cause it's just not Christmas without you around. God, I Miss you It's just not Christmas without you around It's just not Christmas without you around It's just not Christmas without you around It's just not Christmas without you around Copyright Paul Usher 2010

Someone Like You (Live Oct 2011). My catharsis in one take.

A brand new song song (Written by Paul Usher) called 'Dance With The Devil'. Performed live and acoustic from Matt & Phred's, Manchester

Written, arranged, produced & performed by Paul Usher.

Where There's Will

Truth be told,

Lies unfold,

We slip, we trip, we keep breaking hold,

And I don't know.

I just don't know.

Limb from limb,

Breaking in,

The're lashing & thrashing condemning me for sin,

I don't believe in,

I don't believe in.

See my defiant eyes,

Prepared to pay the price,

To keep this,

Keep it alive.

Where there's will,

There's a way.

Where there's will,

There's a way.

Redundant words,

Succumb to nerves,

Poets silence silver tongues and favour mirth,

When love unearths.

When love unearths.

Mon joie de vie,

Has come to me,

And nothing's gonna keep me from my baby,

Don't believe me?

Don't believe me?

See my defiant eyes,

Prepared to pay the price,

To keep this love,

Keep it alive.

Where there's will,

There's a way.

Where there's will,

There's a way.

Vouloir, c'est pouvoir.

Quand on veut, on peut.

Rien d'impossible.

You ready? You ready? You ready?

To go, go go?

You ready? Are are you ready? Are are you ready?

To go?

Where there's will,

There's a way.

Where there's will,

There's a way.

Separate Lies

Have you realised I'm not the one?

Can't find the strength to say it's done?

It's in your eyes,

In your eyes.

You sleep in silence by my side,

Your sorrow screams into the night,

In your sighs,

In your sighs.

We're both guilty of,

Taking on the Gods.

We're both Guilty of

Leading seperate lives.

.

Everything is easier,

When there's hurt involved.

Maybe you won't speak to me,

If I act so cold.

I'll manufacture hatred,

Absolve you of all doubt,

Vindicate your notion,

You'd be better off without.

We're both guilty of,

Taking on the Gods.

We're both Guilty of

Leading seperate lives.

Cut the ties, Cut the ties, Cut the ties, Cut the ties.

You wear that dress with such disdain,

Through loyalty your love remains,

No lust, nor trust yet kindness,

In your cowardice.

We're both guilty of,

Taking on the Gods.

We're both Guilty of

Leading seperate lives.

Saturated sadness of the soul,

So much more than one can hold,

In this life,

In this life.

Satisfaction sans sustinance,

A contradictory romance,

Take a chance,

Or stoic stance.

We're both guilty of,

Taking on the Gods.

We're both Guilty of

Leading seperate lives.

We're both Guilty of

Telling seperate lies.

To cure you of the curse,

Of saying that it's over,

I'll say it first.
