Highland Home by Dave Bremner

I first got to know Dave Bremner & his music on Reverbnation then became friends on Facebook. We both sort of clicked due to our love for Marc Bolan which gave us a starting point to talk then go into Dave's own compositions. Dave has sent me various demo's via email over the past 2 years & to me he always has this big epic feel even at an early stage in production. So imagine how I felt when the MP3 of 'Highland Home' was sent to me entitled 'memo2'. I played it and was completely blown away by it's epic production. Yes it has strong Scottish roots within it's music & lyrics but you don't have to be Scottish to fall in love with this song on first play. My partner Heather heard this and commented that it to her was like a sound track that easy would fit the movie 'Braveheart' with Mel Gibson running with his masses. Saying that the lyrics do talk of Scotland's struggle through history, but I talked to Dave himself & we agreed it can also mean the struggles we all meat everyday in our life's. The epic sound gets me with a build up with acoustic guitar to electric guitar which Dave handles both like a master, then the sound of Scottish drums then the bagpipes that gives you goosebumps. Added to this is a chorus so easy to remember & becomes a chant sang by everyone who hears it. Dave told me he performed this live and over 100+ sang the chorus on their first time they ever heard it & he had lump in his throat. The song gives that feeling to me too.

Outside - This track is relationship based where Dave sings about that feeling we have all had like we are looking outside of the relationship looking in. The music has a beautiful acoustic guitar mixed with some wonderful electric guitar. Dave seems to write songs that you can either relate too or effect your emotions & this for sure is one of them songs.

Highland Home (Clan Home)- Money from all of these releases will go to The Clan cancer for all charity. This track is a re-working of the lyrics of 'Highland Home' but just as or in fact more emotional to many. I find for the price of a few downloads or limited CD you get wonderful emotional piece of music & the money goes to a charity that does so much to so many. Released on 23rd November on OK!
