Nice... I like the way the words are laid out, timing wise, within the simple guitar strum. Also, 'For all that we know', is a really great title line : )

Like what you've done with the vocals. Cool feeling all round. Congrats!

My mind was a blank trying to think of a track title, so Whitespace it is...

UPDATE: The very talented Liroj Anakarkis has added some wonderful words & vocals to this track! Take a listen at https://soundcloud.com/kelvynt/crevecoeur

There's a video of an 'extended' version of this on YouTube at http://youtu.be/S2HINxoTBh8 (I got carried away improvising at the end..)

'Avenue De Rennes' from the album 'Avenue De Rennes' by The Grey Merchant due for release December 2017 on Demeanour Records

‘a rousing first look at what to expect from the Grey Merchant… …It’ll get the juices flowing and the blood boiling’ -thepointofeverything.com

‘Once you let yourself succumb to the crisp edgy sting and moody undertone you become swallowed and consumed in the tireless relentless onslaught of the meandering entwining coil of The Grey Merchant’s unique and fantastic masterpiece.’ -Indiebuddie.com

‘a distinctly motorik krautrock fashion all the while pulsing stunning frequencies into the atmosphere… …The Grey Merchant’ are most definitely the ones to watch.’-primalmusicblog.com

‘Spotless (The Protecting Veil) is a wonderfully powerful tune and if this is the taste of things to come then The Grey Merchant will be worth looking out for in 2017’ -Bobby Green musician.ie

Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm

Atlas Hands

Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Atlas Hands

Clarity

100% of the profits from this song go to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings.

On Monday 15th, 2013, I went with my son, daughter and father to watch the Boston marathon runners run past my road in Wellesley.

The third Monday of April is one of my favorite days of the year - it marks the real start of spring for me. The blossoms are just coming out, and we see neighbors and friends, eat BBQ food and cheer the spirit of thousands of runners.

Of course the 2013 Boston marathon will be remembered for something else, namely the twin bombings near the finish line that killed three people and wounded more than 170.

This is a song written for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. The lyrics were inspired by the moving speech given by President Obama at the interfaith healing service at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, Thursday, April 18, 2013.

In the words of the youngest fatality, 8-year-old Martin Richard, holding a poster he made after the shooting of Trayvon Martin, “No more hurting people. Peace.”

We can show that communities of good people are stronger than the few evil ones who grab the headlines. Let's help sustain a message of strength and confidence long after the headlines about the Boston Marathon bombings subside.

I'd like to thank the Boston Art Academy including, Duncan Remage-Healey, Tyrone Sutton the Director of Boston Arts Spirituals Ensemble, Anne Clark, Gregory Holt, David Jamrog, Akshata Kadagathur, Rick Tagliaferri and the singers of The Boston Arts Academy Sprituals Ensemble (listed below) for adding their beautiful voices to the song.

Thanks to Dr. Kevin J. McDonald, Director of Choral Music Wellesley High School, Chad Weirick for arranging the choral parts and all the Keynote singers (listed below) who were amazing to listen to as they learned and added their fine voices to the track.

Thanks to the wonderful Sacha Pfeiffer and her team At All Things Considered for taking the time to interview me about this project and repost the track. That interview and links are here: http://goo.gl/Tf3Y5L

Thank you SoundCloud for posting the song to Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr and @soundcloudheroes for reposting the track.

Thanks to numerous other folk for helping to prod and nudge things along.

Last, but certainly not least, a big thank you to the passionate SoundCloud community of writers, musicians and singers who continue to encourage me and especially the brave SoundClouders who submitted vocals to join mine, with a special mention for Scarlet Delemeny who, apart from being my daughter and an excellent songwriter and singer, had the inspired idea of putting the chorus at the front of the song and then wowed us all with her beautiful ad libs.

WE WILL RUN AGAIN
Words and Music Stephen Randall

CHORUS
We will stand
And we will walk
And we will run again

On Patriot's Day
We lined the streets
To cheer our heroes 
Running to their dreams

We waved them on
From Hopkinton
Through Wellesley Hills
Then Newton straight to Boston

As they reached Heartbreak Hill
They didn't know that they’d face
A greater heartbreak still
A greater heartbreak

CHORUS
We will stand
And we will walk
And we will run again

We come together 
To reclaim 
This state of grace
Our spirit will remain

And when we cross
The finish line
We show the world
That we can take the pain

And on that toughest mile, 
When we think we've hit a wall,
Someone will be there 
To pick us up if we fall

CHORUS
We will stand
And we will walk
And we will run again

We will stand
And we will walk
And we will run again
