Fab song, the opening chords/melody got me straight away. Gorgeous vocal/harmonies, real passion in the delivery, projection and fade away. Great dynamic playing on the piano. The guitars add super support, nice slide/dobro work. Dig the bass line.

Very strong middle section in an excellent song. The second voice in the vocals is excellently and subtly incorporated.

This is an awesome track with cool piano work and excellent vocals! Nice!

Ashes for Dreams

It’ll take time, maybe it should 
I’d own your pain if I could
You’d do the same I know you would
There’s no right way to feel the hurt 
You’ll find your path, you’re not the first 
To think it’s something you deserve 

Give yourself a break
Let me give while you take, darlin' please

Lower your shoulders 
I meant what I told you 
Just let me hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 
I’m brave and I’m bold
And your life will unfold 
If you trust me to hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 

I saw you standing to the side 
Like you had something to hide 
And I was mesmerised 
I’m not sure why I’m drawn to you 
You seem so closed, but open too 
It’s in your eyes I see your truth 

Let your feelings out 
In a whisper or a shout, darlin' please

Lower your shoulders 
I meant what I told you 
Just let me hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 
I’m brave and I’m bold
And your life will unfold 
If you trust me to hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 

There’s no healing without feeling 
However pleasing to box away the pain 
Escape takes many shapes
But when you return the loss remains 

Lower your shoulders 
I meant what I told you 
Just let me hold you 
And sweep all your demons away 
I’m brave and I’m bold
And your life will unfold 
If you trust me to hold you 
And sweep all your demons away

Lower Your Shoulders

So disappointed
I wanted so much more
So disjointed
As I sink down to the floor
I’m reeling, I thought you were the one
But I see now, what's over hadn't ever begun

Such confusion
You said you'd be there till the end
But you used me and now you want to be my friend
I’m reeling - I don’t understand you
But I see now, you’re not the person
I thought I knew

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Just an illusion
So strong that I believed
Feeling bruised now
Maligned and deceived
I'm reeling, I thought you’d set me free
But I see now, you made a promise you could never keep

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Time to realise
I’ve been telling myself lies
I still want you
But moving on’s the only thing to do

I feel the heat but I don’t see the flame
The beat is new, but the dance is the same
Your lips are moving
But you don’t say my name
I see you
But I don’t even make your frame

Feel The Heat

I composed this song many years ago but I updated the tune in 2023. 

Lyrics

I’m sitting here thinking
What are you doing 
I hope you’re doing fine; I do miss you so

That sweet smile you have
Leaves a picture in my mind
All I can do, is just think of you

Everybody needs someone to be close to
Everybody needs someone to confide with
Cause being lonely, never helped nobody, and all I can do s just think of you

When I’m with you
Everything seems so fine
I give you all I have, just give me love in return

I’ll share my love with you
If only you stay near
I really don’t know what I’d do, if some day you were gone

Everybody Needs Someone (Remaster)

You remember somersaults
I remember falling
She remembers nothing
It felt like only days to you and years to me
And she remembers nothing

You remember finding me
A path I couldn't see
She remembers nothing
You were my voice
When I needed it most
And she remembers nothing

Every day you pray you'll find your way
As the end comes closer
I close my eyes in sweet denial
Don't think and it'll be over
You squeeze my hand to try and make me understand
This time, I'll hold her

You remember picking names
I wouldn't dare, I was too scared
And she remembers nothing
You felt excitement and joy
I blocked it all
And she remembers nothing

Every day you pray you'll find your way
As the end comes closer
I close my eyes in sweet denial
Don't think and it'll be over
You squeeze my hand to try and make me understand
This time, I'll hold her

Every stand taken was for her
Every wish granted
Every waking thought was of her
We wouldn't do it any other way but for her

Every day you pray you'll find your way
As the end comes closer
I close my eyes in sweet denial
Don't think and it'll be over
You squeeze my hand to try and make me understand
This time, I'll hold her

STORM   (Ft Jorg Stohwasser )  "Joerxworx"

Like most of the guys playing parts on this song, this one's a pretty special one for me, because of my dad's love for country music and being an amazing guitarist who was a big influence on me to play music. Thanks to Josh for reaching out to invite us along for this one, and to all the guys for putting their hearts into the performances here!

Dedicated to Dad.

Cast of Characters:
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Lead and harmony vocals, synth guitar intro, auxiliary percussion, mix, arrangement, and production
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, banjo, and mastering
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – mix and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and vocal harmonies
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, mandolin, and lap steel

This song began when Josh asked the rest of the guys if they'd be willing to put together a couple of songs for his father as a Christmas present. His dad is from West Virginia, and Josh was born there, too. The original version featured his son, Marshall, singing the lead with him, and hearing his grandson sing a song about West Virginia really meant a lot to elder Clary. Of course, everyone was enthusiastically generous in giving their time, effort, and skill to Josh's family for the holiday. 
 
 The story of the song itself is a little convoluted. After Josh asked for everyone's help, Ken laid down a rudimentary beat, to which Josh started the tonal part with the bass. Stephen added the guitar and banjo soon after, and Josh added the mandolin shortly after that. JJ inserted his piano around this time, too. We pretty much had it working enough for Josh and his son to sing it for his dad. Tez mixed that version perfectly suited to the occasion. 
  After presenting Josh's dad with the present, it sat for about a month, until we asked Mark if he'd get in on it, too. Mark not only sang it better the John Denver, but also arranged it so there is an instrumental break in the middle now. He also added the guitar lick around the beginning. Ken took the opportunity of having Mark's great vocals to sing against to add his terrific harmonies. Mark threw down a harmony line as well during the verse, and one of the 2 high chorus harmonies. Then Mark, being the perfectionist that he is, noticed that the slide part was missing from the second verse. So, Josh added it. Mark also mixed this version, with Stephen doing some mastering at the end. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed putting this personally meaningful piece together.

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve. :)

(song written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert, and John Denver)

Took my old dance tune "Dance, Baby, Dance" and sent it to Xian3 to see what he would do with it.  He came through (as always in my opinion) with these nice dark vocals and lyrics.  I then mixed it in a semi-dub mode to give it an edgy feel.

The Same

1.
This same complacant attitude
The same intrusive looks
The same clucking of the tongues
Those same obscene gestures
The same superior habit

Simply disgusting
Who taught you that? (rep)
How disgusting

2.
The same aggressive smell of greed
And derogatory words
So mean and vile
The same hateful comments
Bring out only the worst truth (social)

Simply disgusting
Who taught you that?

ref 1
Brows may crease in sorrow
If it only were tomorrow
That you were to decide again

Brows may crease in sorrow
If it only were tomorrow
That you would have to decide again

Huh,
That would never be the same

ref 2
Eyes narrowed in sorrow
If it only were tomorrow
That you were to decide again

Eyes narrowed in sorrow
If it only were tomorrow
That you would have to decide again

Huh,
Or would it just be the same ?

The Same (collab with Xian3)

Another recent Morry project. Cover of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) song from the 80s. I have no clue how he did all the instrumentation but he recorded using his Tascam DP24. 

Song info: "So in Love" is a 1985 song by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released as the first single from their album Crush. It reached the top 30 of both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming their first entry on the latter. The track was a top 10 hit in Belgium and Holland.

So In Love (OMD Cover)

We’re not promised tomorrow
We need to live our lives right
I won’t barter or borrow
Our future for tonight

Never know what ahead of us
What lurks around the corner
Never know if our future
Is built on sand or mortar
I’m not wasting time, playing games
I won’t create a past, filled with shame

We’re not promised tomorrow
We need to live our lives right
I won’t barter or borrow
Our future for tonight

I don’t try to pretend
That I’m the greater person
I don’t judge, I don’t defend
I’m not better, I’m not worse
I don’t look at you like you failed
I’m not looking for souls to save

We’re not promised tomorrow
We need to live our lives right
I won’t barter or borrow
Our future for tonight

I won’t be paralysed
I have a goal and I’ll pursue it
And I am under no illusion
That I know best what to do
But I’ll proceed with a knowing air
No one knows what I choose not to share

Take your place, by my side
Don’t be scared, we’ll be fine
Don’t look left, don’t look right
Lock our dream in your sights

We’re not promised tomorrow
We need to live our lives right
I won’t barter or borrow
Our future for tonight

Ocean Of Pearls (2017) Anthology CD2 Track 06

[Verse]
Lights flashing all around
Feet barely touch the ground
Beat pounding in my chest
Lost in the sound

[Verse 2]
Stars dancing in the night
We chase the fading light
With dreams we're taking flight
Heartbeats so tight

[Chorus]
Keep on dreaming don't let go
Feel the rhythm let it flow
Keep on dreaming let it show
In this moment we will glow

[Bridge]
Eyes wide open see the dreams
Electric pulses like moonbeams
Dancing in a world unseen
Nothing's ever as it seems

[Verse 3]
Neon lights they guide the way
In this world we choose to stay
Night turns into endless day
Dreams will never stray

[Chorus]
Keep on dreaming don't let go
Feel the rhythm let it flow
Keep on dreaming let it show
In this moment we will glow

Keep On Dreaming (AI)

Please don't speak for me
You don't know what I'm trying to say
Please don't try to feel my fear
Or wish it away
Don't pander or stand for me
Don't cry, don't you fight for me
The things that I hide
I don't want you to see

You're not me
You can't see
What I need to be free
Find yourself someone new
I'll do me, you do you

Please don't tell me what you think I want to hear
Please don't hide the truth to stop these tears
You think it's fine cos they're little white lies
They might be kind but they're still not right
So go, leave, shut the door
I don't want you here

You're not me
You can't see
What I need to be free
Find yourself someone new
I'll do me, you do you

Just because you want me doesn't mean that we'll succeed
I know you're convinced that we've got all we need
But it's not enough for me 
And I know deep down you see it

You're not me
You can't see
What I need to be free
Find yourself someone new
I'll do me, you do you

You Do You

"Mijinko" means a water flee. In a science TV program, a water flee with rotifers like tulips on its head was introduced. This song was made to show the funny and peaceful picture. Other microbes such as micro algae around it are also expressed in the song. This song is "mini" version, and its full version will be uploaded later.

You'll find me also here in my collaboration project with Johan Alm https://soundcloud.com/ashesfordreams

Ashes for Dreams is the Irish/Swedish band project of Johan Alm (https://soundcloud.com/jambrains) and Karen O’Mahony (https://soundcloud.com/monnodb).

Both coming from completely different cultures and musical backgrounds - incorporating between them classical, traditional, folk and rock - they had each previously produced solo work vastly different to the other’s. 

Johan’s style is heavy rock with a unique and gritty vocal style and guitar work admired and envied by many. Karen’s natural home is more folk, which to their surprise works beautifully in a heavy rock setting. Together, they are a magical combination, particularly when they duet - their distinctive voices blending as if made for each other!
