The love makes narrow beds wide...

[Rough translation]
THE LOVE
It's nonsensical, says the mind
 It's ridiculous, snarls our pride
 It can't be true, exclaims the experience
 It is what it is, replies the love

The love, the love 
Makes narrow beds wide 
The love, the love 
Keeps old souls young 
The love, the love 
With or without oath
The love, the love
Refreshes us at the source

It's not worth it, sputters our fear 
It's a disillusionment, sulks the sadness 
 It's not what it seems, blushes the shame 
It is what it is, replies the love

The love, the love
Wins for those who dare
The love, the love
Does sometimes act a little silly
The love, the love
Gives more than it asks for
The love, the love
Or was it the other way around?

The love, the love
Is granted to all
The love, the love
Veiled and bared
The love, the love
God bless every attempt
The love, the love
With whom and anyhow

"You don't sound like anyone else," said Danny Thompson - renowned bass player for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English musician Conil.

The GRAMMY-winning engineer for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, Tchad Blake said: "Strange Part of the Country is an awesome album! I still listen to it."

Fleetwood Mac legend Peter Green liked Conil's music so much he stopped by Conil’s house to record with him. They recorded a version of Conil's homage to the jazz greats "Round Midnight". 

Strange Part of the Country never conformed to any current trends and has remained timeless. Now, people are discovering this album and it is becoming an all-time favourite. 

When the album was released in the UK, it received some amazing press. Britain's biggest selling music monthly Q magazine gave it: "Four stars - Q Recommends". Blues Matters magazine wrote: "One of the most original artists out there". In the next issue, Blues Matters put him on the front cover.

Conil left London after Strange Part of the Country was released and has spent the last ten years living in the United States and Europe - including New Orleans, New York City, and Berlin.

Tom Markey weaves his unique sound from songwriting and sonic explorations in rock, punk, pop, ambient and beyond. His songs are infused with a sense of justice, optimism and humor in the face of darkness. He draws inspiration for his music from dystopian visions, space travel, books and friendship. Tom is based in Austin, Texas.

I am a working full-time musician, teaching, performing, composing, recording and arranging, and my gigs in the last few years have included jazz combo, big band jazz, folk, Irish traditional, rock, soul, latin, klezmer, funk, orchestral, chamber, minimal techno, musical theatre and more, so, safe to say, I’ll have a go at anything. 

I'm a firm believer in demolishing boundaries between genres, cultures, languages and ultimately people, and Soundcloud is a terrific place where all this can happen.

Creating music for those that want something different.
