Music that reaches out and touches the soul

This absolutely does feel like a 'blooming glow' as the title says...nice work!

fab airy mix..good afternoon listening over my way Mike.

(Verse 1)
War and terror, pain and sin
Now the war has begun
Born into this world to be slaughtered
All these people lost for good
The ocean of flames surrounding them
The innocent are running away
  
(Chorus)
They fall and cry and they live and die
Paying their debts with their innocent lives
They fall and cry and they live and die
Paying their debts with their innocent lives
They fall and cry and they live and die
They fall and cry and they live and die
They were never meant to fight
Standing up for their rights

(Verse 2)
There's no love in their hearts
Another day of constant war
On both sides of the frontline
We hear the cries from every soldier
The fallen ones, the innocent
No peace at all in their souls
While they whisper in the cold
We hear their mothers cry

(Chorus)
They fall and cry and they live and die
Paying their debts with their innocent lives
They fall and cry and they live and die
Paying their debts with their innocent lives
They fall and cry and they live and die
They fall and cry and they live and die
They were never meant to fight
Standing up for their rights

(SOLO)

(Bridge)
Telling lies to the poor and innocent
Lies served as truth and rewards
Telling lies to the poor and innocent
To carry on this meaningless fight

(Chorus)
They fall and cry and they live and die
Paying their debts with their innocent lives
They fall and cry and they live and die
Paying their debts with their innocent lives
They fall and cry and they live and die
They fall and cry and they live and die
They were never meant to fight
Standing up for their rights

War And Terror

For many years I have wanted to see the beauty of the Celtic Highlands. I imagine it would be wonderful. I have been inspired by the previous track ("Ginger Angel") by my friend David Dunham, in which I was able to play.
I know that David has a similar wish and he loves celtic music. Since I have come to appreciate him very much in the past, I would like to dedicate this song to him. This song is for you and "Keep Celtic", David. And please forgive my poor guitar playing. 😉 

I invite you to explore the Highlands in your mind with this track to my music.
I wish you a pleasant journey.

Blooming Glow (part 1)

This is a mastered version of this song that I had originally posted on here in 2022. I love how it’s given the song more sonic oomph! I hope you enjoy it. Thanks to Ryan at RCD Audio. 
Take care

Lyrics - Don’t want to be sat here

Goldfinches on feeders, in the winter sun
You’re sat by the window, watching as more come
I’m sat looking at you, quiet in my chair
Questioning my commitment, wondering if I still care

Have we dragged this deadweight, with no engine and no wheels, for far too long?
My broken back is screaming, my poor heart is just pleading - lets move on

The old dog keeps on scratching, he whines and then he sighs
And you bark questions at me, but never wait for my reply
All patience I may have had, its gone and now I know
We’ll suffocate and fester and our resentment will just grow 

Have we dragged this deadweight, with no engine and no wheels, for far too long?
My  broken back is screaming, my poor heart is just pleading - lets move on

Let’s give it up
Lets give it up
Cos I don’t want to be sat here, mean and bored
Lets give it up, lets give it up
Cos I don’t want to be sat here anymore

Solo

Have we dragged this deadweight, with no engine and no wheels for far too long?
My broken back is screaming, my poor heart is just pleading - lets move on

Lets give it up, please lets give it up
Cos I don’t want to be sat here, mean and  bored
Lets give it up, lets give it up
Cos I don’t want to be sat here anymore

(Come on come on)tell me 
tell me what you want 
Yeah, tell me what you’re thinking 
 (repeat and fade-out)

Valentine's Day Waltz – Original emotional Piano

Writing for orchestra seems intimidating at first, so many instruments, so many combinations you that shouldn't work, so many ways to mess up... But the moment you listen to the string section playing the melody that's been stuck in your head for so long, and heaven opens in you ears, then you know there's no escape from this, you got to keep writing. Smi mens jernet er varmt.

†ॐ

I'm primarily a guitar player but I'll try to make music with anything you throw at me. When left to my own devices I enjoy recording minimalist ambient pieces and textural soundscapes. My principal sound source for these efforts is manipulated guitar but I often include electronics and organic sources. I enjoy working on collaborations with other musicians. Please contact me if you are interested.
