@user-138663860: Thank you Sandy, it was track covered by Elvis, couldn't resist a little tribute to the The King, except it was Lieber & Stoller who wrote it!

Sounds very 1950s? Obviously Elvis from the picture. Lieber and Stoller wrote many songs that were hits back then.

This song is inspired by "Dream Catching", a previously released collaboration between Thommo, Ren Faye, and David Dunham.  David and I changed it up a bit here with a different take, giving it somewhat of a Latin flair.  You can hear more of David's superb guitar playing @david-dunhamuser589535203

For this collaboration, Liam and I alternated writing eight measures each back and forth for the duration of the piece. Hope you enjoy it!

The Dreamer Reawakening (Collaboration with Liam Hynes-Tawa)

What a beautiful song title: 'A Song Of Freedom'. A little piece of music for the freedom we wish for all people on this planet. A nice lyric from Cecilia, for which I have hopefully found a suitable musical background.

A Song Of Freedom - Special Cecilia & OMCB

This is a collaboration between myself and awesome singer songwriter Annie Ray @annie-ray-music . I originally developed this as an instrumental and approached Annie pretty late in the day to develop lyrics and a vocal track, Annie rose to the challenge and delivered this beautifully ethereal vocal performance. Thankyou Annie for finding the words!

Annie:- Lyrics and Vocals
Andy:-  Piano, Orchestration and Production 

Lyrics:

Stars reach for the moon
Never too soon
Dreams woven into one
Looking to the sun
Effortlessly suspended
In space and time
Elegantly surrender
To cosmic sublime

Dreams woven into one
Looking to the sun

Elegantly surrender
To cosmic sublime
All connected in silence
Invisible luminance
Dreams woven into one
Looking to the sun

Stars reach for the moon
Never too soon

The Orrery (ft. Annie Ray)

Written by Leiber & Stoller, It was initially recorded by R&B duo, Willy & Ruth, in 1954, then by Elvis in  1956. The genius of Lieber's lyrics were that they usually finished early leaving room for theatrics, something Elvis excelled in.

A rain dance for the bush fires
A sun dance for the floods
A war dance for anyone    
Who doesn’t give a fuck

It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
We may never dance again
It’s time to pick up that dam phone
If you’re a ’Strictly’ fan

It's murder on earth’s dance floor
 t's murder on earth’s dance floor

A shoot out at the oil coral
Sundance at my side
You know that he can bust a move
And he can  jive

Dance like no one’s watching
Dance so full of love
Dance those socks till they come off
Take off those kid gloves

It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor

Instrumental

Gonna  move your feet, gonna eat less meat
This dance floor needs repair
if ya wanna lift that glitter ball
Dance like Fred Astaire

and dance like no one’s watching
Dance with so much love
Dance those socks till they come off
Take off those kid gloves

It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor
It's murder on earth’s dance floor

Instrumental

A rain dance for the bush fires
A sun dance for the floods
A war dance for anyone    
Who doesn’t give a fuck

It’s murder on earth’s dance floor
We may never dance again
It's time to pick up that dam phone
If you're a Strictly fan

It's murder on earth's dance floor
It's murder on earth's dance floor
It's murder on earth's dance floor
It's murder on earth's dance floor

Squidly doot, snidely dat, hot dam

Murder On Earth's Dance Floor LIVE!

Hmm, wildlife markets… maybe?

1.
I looked up to the sky this afternoon, 
The clouds were so ragged 
And there was even a half moon 
Peeking out between the two lime trees, 
I remember, I thought I would write a song about it 
But actually 

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

2.
I wanted to write about something completely different, 
Hmm, wildlife markets… maybe?
But I had to postpone that because of the view 
It was so homely and beautiful and it was just not at all 
Time to have indignant and stirred up feelings and thoughts

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

How the heck could i just loose the fathom, and 
How did it come that far ?
Does it really need to be  so random and
Isn’t that a little bizarre ?

3.
In the meantime a bird crossed my view of sight
Passing from the right over to the left side
And snapshot-like 
i spotted it in front of the moon
Oh, as i looked up at the sky this afternoon…

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

How the heck could i just loose the fathom, and 
How did it come that far ?
Does it really need to be  so random and
Isn’t that a little bizarre ?…        (da capo al fine)

Hmm, wildlife markets... maybe? (ft Jay Kay)

The Swamp

Dance with friendly aliens… you know you want to…

“HOORAY!!”

Space People

The whole world spun away
The sound incessant
Perhaps I'm dying now
Not a thought I find unpleasant

I've hurt some people 
and I loved some too
Life is a steep hill
But we made it through

I knew I had done it wrong
When the earth became the sky
It seemed to last forever
I don't need wings to fly

I took my chances
Didn't hedge my bets
I played the game
I have no regrets

No regrets

No Regrets
