Everything that can be heard was sampled from IPG1's fab vocals, except the one-bar Sting interlude. Thanks for keeping on doing this Ian!

My very own rework to an untopable 90s raving Trance Pop anthem "Your Love" by Mark'Oh vs. John Davies! #trance #techno #edm

(produced with Music Maker JAM)

Rework Your Love

Just me and my ukulele: Another new song demoed with an acoustic ukulele. I don't usually include lyrics in the description but I seem to have sung this without making many of the words really clear, so just this once I have included the lyrics here.

IF I ONLY HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE AGAIN 
(Oct 2023)


Shattered Dreams
Broken promises
Map the highways 
Of my life
A broken heart
Long lost dreams 
The price I pay
For blinkered eyes

In my youth
I saw the world
A gilded path
And all that implies
But with age,
Experience
Shows the truth
Youth ever denies

If I had my life again would I make the same mistakes
If I had a second chance would I be smart
Would I come to realise
Would I see thru all those lies'
If I only had my life to live again

I believed 
What I was told
Had no doubts
Your love would last
But in time
Your love would die
Then my dreams
And hopes were trashed

If I had my life again would I make the same mistakes
If I had a second chance would I be smart
Would I come to realise
Would I see thru all those lies'
If I only had my life to live again

My Lovesong To You

If i were a rich man
I'll tell what I'd do
I'd bring all my treasures to you
If I were the king
I could make you a queen
With a beautiful, crown on your head

But I aint got diamonds
And I aint got gold
My gifts coming straight from the heart
And this is my hymn to you
It's the best I can do
This is my lovesong to you

If I were a sailor
Out on the sea
The wind would send my love to you
No matter if you
Are so far away
I always, stand by you, some way

Years may go by
And the time my fly
But darling, my love never dies
And this is my hymn to you
It's the best I can do
This is my lovesong to you

(bouzouki solo)
(chorus2 repeat)

This is my hymn to you
It's the best I can do
This is my lovesong to you
This is my lovesong to you

**"Gold Boulevard"**

In the city of razor tongues and neon lights,
Where laughter hides the poison and the fights,
There walks a man with wry smile upon his face,
In a sardonic friendship, no one can trace.

Sardonic friendship, a dance of deceit,
A two-step of laughter, but hearts incomplete,
Fools Gold Boulevard, where the jesters reign,
In a world of illusions, we forever remain.

Beneath the facade of witty banter and charm
Lies a twisted allegiance, doing no harm
But the cynics and jokers, they understand
The allure of Fools Gold Boulevard's hand in hand.

Sardonic friendship, a dance of deceit
A two-step of laughter, but hearts incomplete
Fools Gold Boulevard, where the jesters reign
In a world of illusions, we forever remain

Solo

Beneath the surface, beneath the veils
Lies the truth we dare not to unveil
The bond of humor, the bond of pain
In Fools Gold Boulevard, we remain

So raise a toast to the friends we pretend
In the shadows of laughter, in the echoes of the end
Fools Gold Boulevard, a timeless masquerade
In this sardonic friendship, our secrets are laid

Gold Boulevard

Morgan le Fay (note the masculine appellation) fares worse than any other character except Mordred (her son with Arthur) in the retellings by Cistercian monks who satanise her without ever quite removing her potent role in Arthur's holy progress - she still provides the scabbard for Excalibur which means Arthur cannot bleed from war wounds (until he loses it), she provides the magical disguise by which Lancelot impregnates the Grail Maiden with Galahad (believing her to be Guinevere) and adds a similar riddling magic to the quest of the Green Knight. Crucially, she also helps remove the dying Arthur to Avalon, from which he will one day to return to save us. She is far too elemental and cryptic - 'fatal' is good word for her - to be exactly benign even in the original mythology but the Cisercians' femme fatale tells us as much about their fear of women as it does about this mother/wife/death goddess.

Morgan and Arthur had the same mother - Ygraine of Cornwall - but her father was Gorlois, Duke of Cornwall whilst his was officially Sir Ector but actually Uther Pendragon who killed Gorlois and came to Ygraine's bed wearing a magical helmet (provided by Merlin) which made him look like the husband he'd killed. Morgan returns the magical compliment later by making the Grail Maiden look like Guinevere in order to seduce Lancelot.
lyrics
Morgan le Fay
on her magical horse
black as the night
unconscious force
mourning the Du
beneath and beyond
all we think say and do
dying to be born
on a bridal (sic) away
part healing
in to the Whole,
the slumbering Soul
and the only Way
to catch the boar king
as he gallops away
Morgan le fay
Morgan le fay.

I love males, yet live makeless.
The long night and false dawn still lingers lonely
As day breaks my dike brook's bed
Diluting with grey light my Du-distilled soul.

I give birth, yet grave brothers
My mothering bosom of womb-mouthing earth
Is death-witch and dearth's country
Both vessel you're born on and vestige's barque.

Morgan le Fay
on her magical horse
black as the night
unconscious force
mourning the Du
beneath and beyond
all we think say and do
dying to be born
on a bridal (sic) away
part healing
in to the Whole,
the slumbering Soul
and the only Way
to catch the boar king
as he gallops away
Morgan le fay
Morgan le fay.

I bride men and breed Mordreds,
The world's consummation weds its confounding,
The lightning of love's moon lore
Will strike dead the armed man sick-nursed in these arms.

I brave blood, a bereaved bride,
God's mother and man's Eve, a death moth and Mary,
O Arthur ardent brother,
The love sword you bury here will seed the whole world.

Morgan le Fay
on her magical horse
black as the night
unconscious force
mourning the Du
beneath and beyond
all we think say and do
dying to be born
on a bridal (sic) away
part healing
in to the Whole,
the slumbering Soul
and the only Way
to catch the boar king
as he gallops away
Morgan le fay
Morgan le fay.

All my own AI assisted tracks, are free to download.

I have been writing songs since1959 until the present. As a songwriter, I am more than happy with the wide range of songs I have written over the years. But my musical skills are quite limited and the early demos on Soundcloud are of me singing  and accompanying myself on guitar or latterly ukulele. I can strum the strings well enough, but there my skills end.

Recently I discovered Suno AI and the results astounded me. I could finally produce demos of my songs to be proud of. I am currently going thru my catalogue of songs and producing AI assisted demos. I know many musicians turn away from AI but it has a place for me. There is no other way I could have obtained some 300 demos to this level. I do not and do not intend to look for any reward except the satisfaction that hearing my own songs gives me.

I am still writing and hope to have many more years of songs left in me, Enjoy if you can and I would love to hear your comments on the tracks, if the music moves you at all.
