Somewhere Eric Clapton 
Is playing his guitar
Somewhere a young boy
Is practicing so hard
Somewhere Meryl Streep
Is reciting her next role
Somewhere a young girl
Dreams of Oscar gold

Does your mind need a rest?
Your lips a sweet caress?
I’m bored and lost and wondering what to say
But most days I feel blessed

Somewhere William Shakespeare
Is writing us a play
Somewhere a young author
Is being born each day
Somewhere John F Kennedy
Found his Camelot
Somewhere a young leader
Fights for what he fought

Does your mind need a rest?
Your lips a sweet caress?
I’m bored and lost and wondering what to say
But most days I feel blessed

Somewhere Eric Clapton 
Is playing his guitar
Somewhere a young boy
Is practicing so hard
Somewhere Meryl Streep
Is reciting her next role
Somewhere a young girl
Dreams of Oscar gold

Every brace heart finds a way
Every brave heart 
Every brave heart finds a way

This song is a kind of blues with lyrics that very well describe the life of a busker who creates his own music. Current version is without singing.
Enjoy.

Each Day

Christmas at the Cabin

Tom (@tom-2020) and I are glad to present track 7 (last but one) in our almost finished collaborative album "La belle et le loup, ou Les loups du Gévaudan" (2023), or in English translation "Beauty and the Beast, or The Wolves of Gevaudan").

The track was created in collaboration on 25 November 2023 (initial composition, recording, arrangement and mix in MAGIX by Tom) and 10-11 December 2023 (subsequent composition, recording, arrangement and final mix in GarageBand iOS and Logic Pro by Alex M), and posted here on SoundCloud on 11 December 2023 (by Alex M). We acknowledge use of vocal samples from MAGIX Dance-Main Stage, selected and incorporated into the track by Tom. 

The artwork cover for the track is based on a photo by Tom of 11 September 2013 (exactly 10 years and 3 months ago!) that was cropped and annotated in Mac OS Preview by Alex M and Tom in coordination on 8 October 2023.

Duration: 6:59 minutes

La belle et le loup, ou Les loups du Gévaudan 7 - Tom & Alex M

🔥 Burning in the Rain – by Nexus Featuring Vanessa
1980s Power Ballads & Breakup Anthems

Drenched in neon heartbreak and synth-laced yearning, Burning in the Rain channels the raw emotion and drama of 1980s power ballads. 💔💡 With soaring vocals, wailing guitar solos, echoing snares, and heart-pounding keys, this album captures the ache of letting go and the fire that remains.

From smoky piano intros to thunderous chorus crescendos, every track plays like a love letter never sent — or a final goodbye screamed into the night. Perfect for driving alone under city lights or reliving the soundtrack of a love gone wrong.

Step into the storm. Feel the fire. Cry in the rain.
🔥🎹💔

Neon Wounds

enough for me

To celebrate 2000, I took a year off to write songs, novels, plays, and stories - and I've been doing that since. At the end of my first year, I won first prize in the USA Songwriting Contest in the Lyric Category for 'Drum Machines and Beauty Queens.' This led to co-writing songs with many excellent musicians, including those represented in songs posted here. 

More recently, I was one of seven finalists in the Crisis Lyric Category of the 2021 UK Songwriting Contest for 'Lockdown Blues,' and one of nine nominees in the 2021 International Song Awards with 'Didn't the River Know' and 'Blue and Gold.'

For the past two years, I've been collaborating with many talented musicians on Kompoz. I release many of these songs here and compile the best into albums released under Captain Stormfield's Trip on Spotify and other platforms (see links below).
