Potrei sbagliarmi
Potrei ricordare male però 
Queste cose le ho già viste 
(le ho già viste) lo so 

Se non vado errato
Son passato varie volte qua
Una musica nota 
Mi suona sconosciuta 

Anche tu straniera del giorno
Amica della notte
Mi confondi coi tuoi mille volti
E il tuo profumo 

Sogno/realtà 
Dimmi tu che differenza 
(che differenza) fa
Una parte di me
Ha bisogno (bisogno) di te 

I miei occhi
Sfumature del cielo scrutano
È proprio vero o no 

La terra umida
Che tocco con le mie mani 
Ci sarà ci sarà domani 

Anche tu amica del giorno
Straniera della notte
Mi confondi coi tuoi mille volti
E il tuo profumo 

Sogno/realtà 
Come pagine di un libro
Letto per metà
Una parte di me
Ha bisogno (bisogno) di te 

Sogno/realtà 
Dimmi tu che differenza 
(che differenza) fa
Una parte di me
Ha bisogno (bisogno) di te

Sogno

This is a song that originated with JJ, who was kind enough to share it with Ken (K2 and the Three, and the K2 and the Four), Tez (Llanpsych), and me. I have to say that this was the most fun I've had on a song in a while, mainly because it allowed me to play out my Miles Davis fantasy that I've had brewing for the past 30 or so years. I like to imagine my guitar part as a trumpet part. The reason I'm able to do this is because of JJ's amazing modal keys parts. He's playing a major against a minor riff over an uncommitted bass line. That bass line happens to be rolling along over top of some highly innovative drumming by Ken. It sounds like water falling or someone tripping down the stairs to me. Perfect! After we had it all recorded, we sent it to my man in Manchester, Tez, who painstakingly put it together into a live sounding, balanced song. This was truly a team effort and one of which I'm extraordinary proud.  We all hope you dig it, as well.

Lyrics:
You come into my home
Through my screen
You see, I don't like to be alone
You know what I mean?
Sit next to my laser beam (2X)
A dystopian wet dream

Sit next to my laser beam
It's an American dream
AI Guru selling dopamine
Space age hookah store scheme
(C'mon C'mon) sit next to my laser beam
Because I am the one who loves you (2X)
Sit next to my laser beam

At a server farm out in the desert
Corporations force feed us our souls
Will you give up your control?
Does the phone make you whole?
This is all I know
Watch me make these circuits blow
Because I am the one that loves you(2X)
Sit next to my laser beam

Sit Next To My Laser Beam

Somewhere

'The Wind Blows East' Is a Jazz Fusion track, Featuring Andy Grossart (Bass) and Georg Boehme (Winds). Andy sent me a bunch of chords and asked if I would like to do anything with them. I loved the changes and set about organising them into a piece. After choosing a tempo, time signature and writing some top lines. I drafted out a rough arrangement, sent this through to Georg, who add his wind arrangements and solo lines. I then sent this back to Andy, who added his bass lines. Now came the enjoyable task of re-arranging the whole piece whilst adding my own parts, mixing and producing what we now have as a finished track.

Alan Hamilton - Composition, arrangement, production, Drum and      Percussion sequencing, Keys and Brass.
Andy Grossart- Composition, Bass 
Georg Boehme - All Winds and Wind arrangeing.

This has been another fantastic musical journey for myself and having the company of these highly skilled friends to complete it is the icing on my cake. So thank you Andy and Georg for this collaboration and to Andy for the original ideas.....Alan

Lyrics
Wherever you are going to well I’m coming too 
We’ll go north south east or west 
You can choose wherever you thinks best 
And if we share the driving we can drive all night 
And see where we end up in the morning light 

Or we could set sail on the open sea 
And have our adventures on the high seas 
And live like buccaneers wild and free
Or you perhaps might prefer drier ground 
Well it’s up to us to choose wherever we’re bound 

Just come with me let’s take the long way home 
If your good to go then we’re free to roam 
Let’s take the long way home 

So we can go here there or anywhere 
Or if you prefer we could just stay here 
So long as we’re together then that’ll be fine by me
And the road may twist and turn and rise and fall
And there may be hard times but we can take them on

Just come with me let’s take the long way home 
If your good to go then we’re free to roam 
Let’s take the long way home
So come with me let’s take the long way home 
If your good to go then we’re free to roam 
Let’s take the long way home…….

Long Way Home

Let’s Take The Long Way Home

Now retired from a life 'on the road' as a freelance keyboard player, I compose and record in my home studio, situated in the Carrick Hills in Southern Scotland. My music is mainly instrumental in nature and is a reflection of my life experience, sometimes real and sometimes imagined.
My influences are many and I have quite probably been shaped by listening to the very many "giants" of music, both players and composers. From classical to contemporary jazz and everything in between. My main instrument is the keyboard, whether that be piano, organ or synth. But I also play banjo, flute and percussion. I have a special relationship'with bass, whether upright or electric and use virtual and synth basses from numerous sources, but mainly Trilian by Spectrasonics.
