Talk To Me (Brian Peters)

Talk to me about trouble
Talk to me about strife
Talk to me about men living 
a double life
Talk to me about hunger
Talk to me about pain
Talk to me about men dying 
and their deaths being in vain
Draw near
Put your lips to my ear 
and talk to me

Talk to me about heartache
Talk to me about loss
Talk to me about men carrying 
too heavy a cross
Talk to me about mercy
Talk to me about truth
Talk to me about forgiveness 
in the kissing booth
Fold me
In your gentle sea 
and talk to me

Talk to me in the whirlwind
Talk to me in the heat
Talk to me in the thunder 
of the city’s feet
Talk to me in the stillness
far away from the noise
Talk to me sweetly 
in that still, small voice
Steal away 
from the cares of the day 
and talk to me
--------------------
[Some unused verses]

Talk to me of the garden
Talk to me of the fall
Talk to me of that valley 
and the prophets of Baal
Talk to me about religion 
and the loss of God
Talk to me about the kingdom 
and that level sword
Stay on 
for the night is long 
and talk to me

Talk to me about beauty
Talk to me about life
Talk to me about the colours
in the rainbow of light
Talk to me about magic 
in a lover’s eyes
Talk to me about music 
in the heart of the night
Lay down 
on this covered ground 
and talk to me

Talk to me in the riddle 
of the spoken word
Talk to me in the alphabet 
from another world
Talk to me about longing 
for the one that we seek
Talk to me of that name 
that no man shall speak
Thrill me 
with mystery 
and talk to me

Talk To Me

[There's a knock at the door]
[We answer it] Hello
[You say] Hello, I've come to hear some music
[We say] Great, come in you're at the right place, we've only released eleven songs so far, but we've got some more on the way. Turn up your hi-fi to eleven and have a listen to what we've got.
[We then say] If you like our songs, please follow us, repost and like them.
[You say] OK, I might do that, stop talking and let me have a listen.

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?

One thing I do find kind of sad: there’s so much AI-generated music floating around on SoundCloud, often without being labeled. Come on, folks – if a robot wrote your track, at least give R2-D2 the credits.

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.

'Crossing the River, an instrumental guitar track by Johnson Ramm, is smooth, complex, and melodic' Soundcloud.com, Soundclouder of the Day @ https://www.facebook.com/soundcloud/posts/10151448424641059

 
“Good stuff mister! You've got the jansch/drake thing going on there. Great, authentic guitar sound on 'Searching for Atlantis'. Keep rockin Best Nick H ”
- Nick Harper, Singer/songwriter guitarist extraordinaire

Johnson, your music is so real and transparent, authentic and truly from the heart..you remind us of the simple things the buried feelings of just living that the modern fast paced "so called life" seems to ignore completely, thank you for sharing your music with the world :D "”
- Hidden Mountain

Just wonderful, sweet and charming songs you're writing here Johnson..I love the simplicity and elegance of songs like "no return" and "all we have is one another"..you got the cool, ease with the natural storytelling style of writers like Chris Difford or Paul Heaton..romantic and rich and very tightly crafted. Great work!!”
- Mike White, Mike White Presents 

Not too long back I met a fellow musician, a thoroughly nice chap. His name is Johnson Ramm. You know the feeling you get when you've found something new and original and you want to keep it to yourself but you can't help it and you have to shout it from the rooftops and say "This guy is amazing!!" This is one of those moments. I was asked to do some production work not long ago for his E.P. His style? Folk. Really good hearty folk. Lyrically, this guy is a genius. He writes the kind of words you wish you had thought of about 5 minutes previous! His attitude towards his work as an artist was such an inspiration as he let me guide him on certain aspects, it was me that ended up learning so much from that day. I couldn't really tell you who he sounds like, as he has a raw and unfinished quality to his voice, it just fits into place with the atmosphere that he creates from his lyrics and melodies.”
- Mark Wardale, RowBoat

Hello everyone! I've been here since July 2012.

Songs from the edge of somewhere.
You don’t know if you’re walking into a protest, a party, or a funeral.
Bluesy, soulful rock’n’roll.
Haunted, deep and raw. 
The kind of raw you can’t fake.

“You don’t sound like anyone else,” said Danny Thompson - legendary bassist for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English producer Conil.

Tchad Blake, sonic architect for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, agreed: “Strange Part of the Country is an amazing album. I still listen to it.”

Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green was also a fan, making a rare visit to Conil’s studio to record a mellow take on “Woke Up Around Midnight,” his smoky tribute to the jazz greats.

Conil’s distinct sound has drawn praise from Marc Ribot, Davey Graham, Pino Palladino, and John Leckie - artists and producers known for recognising the real thing when they hear it.

Upon release, Strange Part of the Country made quiet but lasting waves. Q Magazine gave it four stars and a Q Recommends stamp. Blues Matters Magazine put Conil on the cover, calling him “one of the most original artists out there.” In the U.S., “Years Between” climbed to number three on the Alternative Radio Chart.

Raised in England on the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, and Tom Waits, Conil later lived in some of the world’s most musically charged cities - New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Austin and Berlin - chasing sound wherever he went.

That began early. He travelled far, met the Dalai Lama, climbed Kilimanjaro, and crossed the Himalayas - experiences that shaped his perspective and his music.

He is now finishing his long-awaited second album - recorded in New Orleans, Chicago, London and Greece - with Danny Thompson, Tchad Blake and more.

Welcome back to my page. After a week of 'technical issues', I'm back in my Producer role.  Hope you all have had a wonderful time while I was away... but I'm back so lets get this show on the road!!

Thank you for taking the time to listen,  please 'like' my work if you are so inclined, and please comment, I do this by myself, so I appreciate all feedback..
It goes without saying, but no AI or Music Maker here, I'm responsible for every chord, melody and word, mix and master, for better or worse! (I do use VST's and samples)

Thank you all for listening and your incredible comments, I appreciate them all
