Under Your Wings - Original collab by Tony Harris & Glenny G's "One Man Band"

The video for the track is here. https://youtu.be/UN6vKACvSu4?si=TX9G4f0Kldrw1aNP

The song was a collaboration between Axel Menningen and myself. Axel passed me his backing track with a that really catchy solo.

Lyrics

I just can’t let it go, and somehow, she knows.
Letting her go it’s breaking my soul.
Can’t even hide, those feelings inside.

Oh, I know, that I’ve no hope.
So hey, can’t I just be, the one that she’ll see.
Taking a chance on me.
 
He sees that girl and he wants much more. 

Oh hey. what is the magic of this girl.    (She’s the one I’ll always love)
I don’t have to save the world.           (She steals my heart as I turn around)
 I just want to love the Girl.                             (Oh yeah)
Oh hey. what is the magic of this world.           (She’s the one I’ll always love)
To fall in love, just fall in love like me. 

So hey, let’s hope.

So today I will be the boy that she sees.
 taking a chance to be.

He sees that girl and he wants much more. 

(Oh, she’s the one I’ll always love)
(She steals my heart as I turn around)
(Oh Yeah, she’s the one I’ll always love)

When I close my eyes, then I can see the truth.
When I see that smile, and the light shines through.
And with my open eyes, then I can see just you.
When I see that smile, I’m in love that’s true.

Oh hey, what is the magic of this girl.  
I don’t have to save the world 
I just want to love the Girl.   
Oh hey. what is the magic of this world.                
To fall in love, just fall in love like me.

What Is The magic Of this Girl

What Is The Magic Of This Girl   (  Collaboration -Axel Menningen  )

I had the great pleasure of collaborating on a song by my friend and wonderful musician David Dunham. 
His incredibly beautiful guitar playing and the story behind this song touched me deeply. I am grateful to have been involved and dedicate my part to all Maddies in the world. Have a look to our tribute Video to Maddie:

Be sure to listen to our other version of the song on David's site. You can also find out the background story to this song there.

Hi everyone! 
When I first heard the piece "Lux" by the great pianist Anastasiya Ihnatovich, I immediately fell in love with it because it touched me so much. I asked Anastasiya if I could orchestrate it. Luckily she agreed. I am very grateful to her.

Check out Anastasiya's page. It's worth it, she has a lot of beautiful pieces there: 
https://on.soundcloud.com/zgLJ7

The background to the piece can be found in a little story that I wrote (it's further down in the description). I set the story to music and merged it with the original piece. That's how "Lux - Light and Darkness" came about. 

Immerse yourself in the musical story of Light and Darkness. We hope you like it.

 Light and Darkness

On a cold, moonless night, Light and Darkness met in a deserted forest. The Light was nothing more than a weak spark, barely more than a glow. The Darkness was all-encompassing, thick as ink and impenetrable.

Darkness: "What are you doing here, little spark? Can't you see this is my realm? I devour everything that comes in my way."

Light: "I may be small, but I am still here. And as long as I exist, I am a sign of hope."

Darkness laughed deeply and thunderously, like an approaching storm.

Darkness: "Hope? You are nothing! A small breath is enough to extinguish you."

The Light flickered slightly, but it stood firm.

Light: "Perhaps you can extinguish me, but even in my disappearance, the memory of me remains. And wherever there is a spark of hope, new light can arise."

The Darkness was silent for a moment, then it thickened even more to suffocate the Light.

Darkness: "Try it then. I have already extinguished countless lights, and each time the night only became darker and more powerful."

The Light now shone a bit brighter, as if nourished by an inner strength.

Light: "Maybe you underestimate me. Every flame starts small, but it can grow and become stronger. It can bring warmth and light, even into the deepest darkness."

Darkness began to seethe, feeling that the Light was not weakening but growing stronger.

Darkness: "What nonsense! You will suffocate in my embrace!"

But the Light now glowed with a definite strength, its glow growing into a flame.

Light: "I am the light of hope and renewal. Even if you envelop me, I will break through. For where there is light, darkness cannot exist."

With these words, the Light spread further, its rays piercing through the Darkness, piercing it like a thousand tiny arrows. The Darkness whimpered, retreated, unable to bear the growing brightness.

Light: "It is time for you to retreat. Your grip is not infinite. Where there is light, darkness cannot exist."

The Darkness retreated further and further, until it was only a shadow in the corners. The Light now shone bright and clear, filling the forest with a warmth that had previously been missing.

Darkness: "You may have won, this time. But I will always return."

Light: "And I will always be here to push you back. For just as the day follows the night, so does light follow darkness. And in every battle, I will triumph again."

The Darkness finally disappeared, and the forest was bathed in warm, golden light. The Light had triumphed, and with it, hope returned to the world.

Lux - "Light and Darkness" (by Anastasiya Ihnatovich)

Hi everyone! 
Today I want to introduce you to a song that was recorded over a year ago. 
It's a cover version of the song "Try" by Colbie Callat. 

The vocals are by Sonja, an incredibly talented singer. So far I haven't managed to get Sonja to come to Soundcloud. She is too modest.

Maybe you can help me? 

Enjoy listening!

Hello everyone!
I had a dream...
I imagined that I was able to do an "internship" with Mike Fox. He had a great idea for a song and asked me to help him with it. Of course, I didn't need to be asked twice. So I polished the brass instruments, put new strings on violins, cellos, bass and went to England. 
I had to mow his lawn before he let me in the studio, though, and I tell you, the grass was high. 😓

In the studio I had the pleasure of meeting not only Mike, but also Kim. The result is a song that simply won't leave any heart cold. 

So find someone to cuddle with, someone to dance with and have your tissues ready because it will be emotional, I promise.

Many thanks to Mike and Kim for their patience with me. I hope you all enjoy "In my heart".

In My Heart (feat. Kim & Mike Fox)

尾崎紀世彦 - また逢う日まで (cover)

Hello everyone,  

One of my first songs here on SC was an instrumental lullaby. From the very beginning, I had the idea that it could be sung. It was only thanks to Haru that this became a reality. Haru Spring asked me to write lyrics in Japanese and to let her sing them in her language. I thought it was a fantastic idea. For me, the voice and language are equally instruments, and I love going on musical journeys of discovery. That’s why I rearranged the piece.  

I’m thrilled with how Haru wrote and performed the lyrics, and I feel deeply honored to have been able to work with her. Thank you so much, Haru!  

How might the song sound in other languages with different lyrics? I find the idea fascinating and invite you to arrange the song in your native language. If you’re interested, feel free to reach out to me.  

Here’s the sung text in English translation:  

The spring breeze gently blows,
Birds sing in the morning,
In the whispers of the stream,
I hear the voice of life.

On a summer evening, shimmering light,
The distant sounds of festival music,
Moonlight dances on the water,
With the chime of wind bells.

Autumn leaves turn crimson,
Golden waves lap the shore,
Fallen leaves speak of days gone by,
As they bear fruit.

Winter skies freeze white,
On frost-covered ground, a single footstep, a light,
Warming the heart.

Pushed forward by the voice of love,
I gaze up at the passing Earth,
Surely I feel it—in every breath,
Ah, such beauty—let us be together.

The spring breeze gently blows,
Birds sing in the morning,
In the whispers of the stream,
I hear the voice of life.

There can be many reasons someone might be unable to let go of a person or situation, such as low self-esteem, guilt, fear, unresolved issues, or even a desire for closure.

Unforgotten

So many good years with this lady standing by me.  I don't know how or why she does it.  We are living in our latter years now and can reflect on the so many good things in our lives.  I am not very good at love songs, but I wrote this one a while back.  She has a birthday this week and I would like to share this on SC.  Happy Birthday my Lou Ann

Version of a Lord Huron Gem created in my own way with all due respect and All of My Love for Dearest Daughter, Lauryn, and Her Wonderful Hubby, D-Rod! Vocal, Instruments, and Production by Riff Beach via RiffWerx Records & Production.

The Night We Met - Lord Huron
Oooooooooooooo.....
I am not the only traveler
Who has not repaid his debt
I've been searching for a trail to follow again
Take me back to the night we met
And then I can tell myself
What the hell I'm supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you
I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met
When the night was full of terror
And your eyes were filled with tears
When you had not touched me yet
Oh, take me back to the night we met
I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, haunted by the ghost of you
Take me back to the night we met

The Night We Met - Version

The Night We Met - Lord Beach Version (Slow 'Verb Vibe)

Hi, I’m Axel.
After a longer musical hibernation, I started making music again about three years ago – and honestly, it feels amazing! I’ve been hanging around on SoundCloud for about two years now, and I’m constantly blown away by the creativity, variety, and real talent to be found here.

Music is just a hobby for me – which is exactly why I have zero ambitions to make money with it. I’m here simply because it’s fun. So, a small request: Dear annoying promoters with your shady offers – please save us both the trouble, I’m not your guy. I’m not chasing follower counts, click records, or streaming millions. Sure, I’m happy when people listen – but what I value most is connecting with a few honest musicians who feel the same way I do. Quality over quantity, you know?

I play keyboards and have already had the pleasure of creating songs together with some wonderful musicians I met right here on SoundCloud – something I’d love to keep doing. For me, collaboration and exchange are a huge part of what makes music so exciting.

Tech corner, anyone? All my tracks are produced in Cubase 13 Pro. Over time, more and more VST instruments have snuck into my setup – from Spitfire and Native Instruments to Spectrasonics and more. My go-to drum sounds usually come from Toontrack, which have become the rhythmic backbone of many of my tracks. I’ll admit it: I’ve caught a bit of a collecting bug here. Sadly, it’s eating both my wallet and my hard drive space. Will it ever stop? Probably not. 🙄

Style-wise, I love exploring different genres with no limits. For me, the goal is simple: have fun, stay inspired, and keep growing creatively. And every time I stumble upon a track here on SoundCloud that really moves me – the kind of song you’d probably never hear on the radio – it feels like discovering a hidden treasure.

I’m really glad you found my channel – and I hope my music brings you as much joy as it brings me when I create it.
