You’ll See
(Music: Theo Bina, Text: Magdalena Bina)
Verse 1
I’m afraid of many things, but no one knows what life brings. Do people notice if I’m there, if I
would die would they care? Would it affect them in any way or would it be like any ordinary
day? Well, the sun would rise at dawn and the stars would shine at night.
Chorus
He says don’t be afraid of what life brings. Live and put your trust in me - whatever it is. He
says let your fears out, lay your burden on me. Trust my word and you’ll see.
Verse 2
There’s always time for worries, they are like pain in my chest. I’m always in a hurry, what I
need the most is rest. It’s almost like I’m obsessed by the thought of perfection. What I need
is to find another way of satisfaction.
Chorus
But He says don’t be afraid of what life brings. Live and put your trust in me - whatever it is.
He says let your fears out, lay your burden on me. Trust my word and you’ll see.

Berlin Drive

This is about how life is constantly presenting challenges. We must learn from each incident/experience and use that learning to try and be more resilient and be able to move forward. 
I wrote it on my 3/4 size Hofner classical guitar. It’s first song! I used open G tuning after being encouraged to try it by Mark Spruce (Original Spruce - great songs- give them a listen!). Thanks Mark! 
Hope you enjoy it. Best with headphones! 
Take care

Lyrics 
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

My Uncertain Steps

Krosan by Night

Krosan By Night

Hamster

A yoga holiday in crete
Smashing plates around my feet
Don't worry they were specially made
There's no need to be afraid

Of the environmental footprint
It didn't cost a mint
I'm lying here in the sun
Eating greek salad, its a lot of fun

To drink the wine and downward dog
Lets hope my stomach won't honk
Namaste, pranayama, drishti and asana

Dont know what any of it means
get the mat and I'll meet you in my dreams
To the bar we frequent
More regularly than lent
Despite being a healthy holiday
We can eat what we like and party
We can eat what we like and party

402. a yoga holiday in crete (harding).mp3

We all get crazy over someone....This song was written by myself 2 years ago ...appreciate your comments, likes, listens....thankyou and enjoy!

The Exchange Of Love

This is a Michael Weber (Christofferson Weber) Tune written and performed by Cam-O-The Chameleon himself. Screach added a few slices of guitar and backing vocal to a already perfect tune and splashed in just a few drops of Harmonica & Percussion towards the end...

We both hope you enjoy!

On The Way Back [Hans Zimmer Strings]

All tracks  are recorded in a spontaneous manner typically in a single take. Most lyrics are also spontaneous improvisations derived from the feelings of the moment. We let the guitar and drums interact and the music just happens. Most if not all of the music is inspired from this interaction.

The recording equipment up until January 2019 consisted of a dated Fostex 8 track and a few microphones...We simply lay down a guitar and drum track and let it unfold the way you are hearing it by bouncing tracks. We just have to make music to live. Music of any kind, music that speaks for itself... 

In January 2019 recording equipment was upgraded to Logic X and a UA Apollo MKll Quad Core Recording interface...We entered a new building and still trying to find the light switch so bare with us as we keep lighting matches...
