Fab song, delivered in finely tuned way. Wonderful smokey vocals. This is one of my fave vocal takes of Amanda's, in feel, and tone. Great stuff guys.

St Enodoc

Shimmering shallow sands reflect the sculptured skies
Mirrored moments mask the monumental storrs
Fresh gusts rock the steady metered gait
A hurried pace to beat the tidal time

Over peninsular then climb the weaving steps
Clamber over to handpick the secret path
Cross the grassy landing as the next
Bay reveals its face the livid sudden shine

As Enodoc herself would say, it takes more than sinking dunes to make a saint.

The salty foam projects over our heads away
Mixing with the farms beyond the dry stone walls
While before the ghosts of grey approached
Now the sun scintillates under the frame

There is no map needed here
Just keep the sea to the right
Just don’t lose sight

The ruined lighthouse on the top comes into view 
This phantom figure hails the battleship behind
Draws toward us and with brooding threat
How we anticipate the pricking strikes of rain

Saint Enodoc

This is a light-hearted, teen boy aspirational girl crazy song written in the late 80s early 90s. Used a new condenser mic for vocs with layering, didn't use any EQ or effects yet on this mix and need to boost the bass a bit. Morry and I can't get together for about the next month so we'll probably remix then. Hope you enjoy this one. Not too PC by today's (or any) standards but we were truly teens when we first wrote this 30+ years ago. All the best to our SC friends.

A little test, in an unusual style for me.  At first I just wanted to explore Abbey Road drums, and the inspiration did the rest. Logic Loops - Arrangements and Production  :  Pascal Basso  https://soundcloud.com/pascal-basso

MARIUSZ DUDA | CLAUSTROPHOBIC UNIVERSE 
cover by Dan van den Berg

This cover is off an album by Mariusz Duda, member of the band Lunatic Soul, made during lockdown and to me that explains the title of this track. Although it’s also a funny contradiction, calling an endless universe claustrophobic. The original features some acoustic piano, although heavily processed and brought into an environment of electronic sounds especially a synthesized arpeggio part that accompanies the entire track and gives it a constant drive. 
I liked the track immediately and could imagine an acoustic guitar version, so I arranged it as such, trying also the reproduce some of the electronic effects manually. Everything here is classical / flamenco technique fingerpicking though. 

I hope you’ll enjoy my cover and in case you don’t know the original, please find it here: https://youtu.be/IenweoqlyKs

As always I really enjoy your likes, shares and comments!

L'odeur de la pluie en été

Written By Johnny Taylor one of my rare cover songs;) I have never experienced the scenario described in the lyrics therefore I can only imagine ..  I do like  the melody and story ..   The original was a slow blues version introduced to  me by a friend ages ago  .. ,  this i did for posting  on SC a few years ago maybe (2016)..Credits / production  /instruments / vocal arrangement/performance was  done  by me  (like  most of my other  tracks )lots of fun  😉 …Thanks!!

Here are the lyrics  below I  rarely read lyrics but some folk do ,I had the time to type em atm , I abide by "lock down " I am not a mask-less roaming outdoor hero ,I got extra time  ;)...


 Lyrics : Everything’s is out in the open there is nothing left to hide. 
I thought we had a garden of Eden and we did before he became along.
Until  the fruits in the midst of his garden became the fruits that turned you on..  Before God we were joined together before a judge we were taken apart.. 
Before he delivered the papers you and him had made  a brand new start .
Chorus :Everything is out in the open there is nothing left to hide all our vows has been broken and I feel the same way inside were ……..
Just like Adam you were my Eve the only girl in the world for me 
And just like that old story once again I was  deceived …
  Chorus :Everything is out in the open there is nothing left to hide all our vows has been broken and I feel the same way inside were ……..
