8 chords, people ! 8 !!! I think I’m allowed not many words ?! Same chord progression at the start as 'Speechless I', but no longer speechless lol. A few different chords in the bridge, I'd say it works. Will get a clearer version recorded with some bass and stuff, and a separate guitar/vocal track. I enjoyed the creative process with this one. I love the challenge of working out the words, chords, melody, the whole lot of it :-)

‘Wonderland’ by Tracey Cracknell

Do do do de do de do
Ahhhhhh
I never wanted anyone
The way I want you
I guess I knew the day would come
Oooooooooooo
I never wanted anyone
The way I want you
I guess I knew the day would come
Oooooooooooo
Oooooo !
I’m waiting
For you to take my hand
We’ll go walking
In Wonderland
I never wanted anyone
The way I want you
I guess I knew the day would come
Oooooooooooo
I never wanted anyone
The way I want you
I guess I knew the day would come
Oooooooooooo
Oooooo !
I’m waiting
For you to take my hand
We’ll go walking
In Wonderland
Ahhhhhhhhh
I never wanted anyone
The way I want you
I never wanted anyone
The way I want you 
I never wanted anyone
The way I want you

Yes, must definitely get a new, clearer version of this one recorded. But this will always be 'the song' for me, maybe, if you see what I mean ?

Wonderland (rough demo)

Funnel Vision

Normally in the lead up to my son's birthday I get to thinking about how fast he grows up. He turns 14 in a week so this is kind of for him (and maybe a little bit for me too).

Wide open windowpanes
You breath in in the air
While I'm praying for rain

The wheelbarrow dash
The sweaty-faced
featherweights gone in a flash
You're moving too fast 
to catch

I hold on with all
my might
I hold
a little too tight

Son 
Where did you run?
Breathing in light
I hold on too long
A little too tight

I hold on too long
A little too tight

A little too tight

This is an experimental project outside my comfort zone. Hope you like what came out of it.

Open doors, broken hearts.
Our life is just a game of cards.
You throw your trumps and aces,
My hand is getting weak.
Why should I care which card you gonna pick?

Hazy shadows, wicked dreams.
Our life is never what it seems.
Your lips are soft and tender
But every smile you fake.
Why should I care which move you gonna make?

Cry for love and make my day,
Stay with love but stay away.

I wake up way too early to go brush my teeth,
My reflection is broken but at least it still exists,
Microwave dings and my breakfast is ready,
I take a bite of this and I’m stuffed already.
I pick up my feelings, how heavy – damn,
My friends always complain how cold hearted I am,
But I don’t mind, I feel fine, still alive, cloud nine,
Still a bit of time before the last supper of mine.
This is the place I was born, the place I was raised,
How I survived this long I am still amazed,
I was always told that I gotta stay strong,
I gotta teach myself to tell from right to wrong.
I gotta be educated, liberated, sophisticated lady,
But how on earth do I get there already?
Decision is torture, uncertainty is pain,
That is how badly you have messed up my brain.

Cry for love and make my day,
Stay with love but stay away.

Odd or even, win or lose.
Should I care which way you gonna chose?
We’re meant to be together
But we’re so miles apart,
My mind resists to let me trust my heart…

Sky High

Sky High (video)

Refrain 愛のしずく

Her name means ‘Light of Evening’, 
a reference to the setting sun. 
The spirit of immortality.
She is in charge of watering the sacred apple tree.

Hespera

Here's a little tune inspired by eastern pentatonic and harmonies - at least I think so ;-). It features a Jackson guitar on all lead tracks, played through s-gear virtual amps, very hi gain!. Also played around with some soft synths. Thanks for listening, commenting and repost.

Far East (Instrumental)

When it flows it flows, and how it does, no-one knows.  ;)
