Nice rhythms, it caught my attention from the very beginning. Very cozy music.

Beautiful indie pop with a great arrangement, superbe!

Don't know if you know The Cardigans, but has that kind of vibe, for me at least.  Nice work!!

Wow, the vocals!!!!! Harriet Wheeler? Love this song! Glad you pulled the demo out of the filing cabinet.

Ooh, what a beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful vibe! Really lovely work

At the Edge of the Universe

This is a song I wrote in 2016, about overcoming negative self doubts when I was starting to write songs again after a break of about 20 years.  It’s a song of positivity and self encouragement to get on and do the things you want to before it’s too late, regardless of what stage of life you’re at.  Recording, percussion and additional fabulous chucka chucka guitars by Carl Hetherington of Van der Neer.

Doing time

VENUS

I feel like
the evening star
a faint light in the immense darkness
isolated desolated
in a world where more is less and
less is more
No home no comfort
unrelated and unbound
my Joy my Joy
undimmed but buried
like forgotten treasure 
of a bygone age….
I feel like
the Evening Star

VENUS

With gratitude and respect to Kohei Uchimura, who is retiring.

This song was inspired by Kohei Uchimura who is a gymnastics athlete at Tokyo 2020 Olympic.
But maybe you can sing this for your hero, for your friends, for your lovers, for your parents….
Whatever it is, this is a song of gratitude and respect for the person you admire.

[Lyrics]

Cause I Saw You Were There

Do you know why I could come here?
Do you know what made me to come here?
It’s you. 
Cause I saw you were there. 
You were there.
Yes, it’s you. 
Cause I saw you were there. 
You were there.

引退される内村航平選手へ、感謝と敬意をこめて。

体操の内村航平選手の東京オリンピックを見て、この曲が生まれました。
でもたぶんこの曲は、あなたのヒーローのため、あなたの友人のため、あなたの恋人のため、あなたの両親のための曲でもあります…。
それが何であれ、あなたの憧れの人への感謝と敬意を歌ったものです。

[歌詞]

僕がなぜここに来ることが出来たのか知っていますか？
何が僕をここに連れて来たのか知っていますか？
あなたです。 
あなたがそこにいたのを見たからです。 
あなたはそこにいた。
そう、それはあなたです。 
あなたがそこにいたのを見たからです。 
あなたはそこにいました。

Cause I Saw You Were There

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

Graeme says.....This started off as a vaguely pleasant but unremarkable little instrumental demo which I'd filed away wondering what, if anything could be done to bring it up to scratch....... Luckily, along came Gina who breathed some new life into it and it ended up becoming this chilled out little pop song....
Gina says....This song is a ramble about life going off into other directions than you had originally planned and then finding that you need to re-start with that original plan because the side-track ended up a dead end.....

I lost my reason for coming
While I was talking to you 
I didn't know that someone
Could be so real
I lost my reason for coming 
While I was talking to you 
Never dreamed that someone
Could give me that feel
mmmmm
And you were travelling right
In the same direction as me
And you were so real 
And you gave me that feel
So I went forward with you
Down along your streets
Anywhere with you
Perfect place to be mmmm

And now I'm trying 
And I won't stop
I got my heart set
On turning this around
Turning this around once again

But now I'm stepping on sparks
It's a one way game
There were always two sides to be sure
Oh you took care to only show me one
Until flipping
Lands the other side up 
And I'm down.
So down

So yeah I'm back at the front door
Trying to recall
My reason for coming
Yeah I'm back at the front door
Wish I could recall
My reason for coming

But there's that feel and so real
Just like when I was talking to you.

There's a message
It says come back right now
And you looked like you'd seen a ghost
People talking
Then they're moving away
And you're questioning everything

Transatlantic
And the earth was shaking
Lost in transit
Lost in mid translation

Oh and the kingdom to come
Will be a kingdom of reason

Did I tell you
All the things we could see
When they held you up to the light
Drink some vodka and then
Walk out the door
You said this is better for everyone

[Chorus]

We like the meaningful songs
They send a meaningful signal

In the Hare Krishna restaurant in Soho
No one recognised you
Coz you didn't look much like the photo

On the inside
I said everyone's lost
And you said yeah but nobody really cares
Run the numbers
And learn to be smart
Now the world is turned upside down

[Chorus]

Lyrics: 

Pt.1
It’s raining out in Portland
And down in Durban too
I play no more the frontman
I’m better off serving you
O let the water wash me clean
I’ll do anything for you my queen

Went up to Mystic Mountain
Picked berries from the bush
So many I couldn’t count them 
Each one unveiled a truth
O let the water wash me clean
You’re the face that makes good everything

What rained upon the prophets
Same rain that drench me now
The old mantle I’ve not lost it
It’s on me like a vow
O let the water wash me clean
you’re the vision of a million magic dreams

Well there’s music in the alley
And sweet smoke in the air
No need for tinpot rallies
It’s safer here than there
O let the water wash me clean
You’re the sweetest note in every song I sing

It’s raining out in Portland
And down in Durban too
If I was the doorman
You would walk straight through
O let the water wash me clean
I’ll do anything for you my queen

Pt. 2
It’s raining out
In Durban now in Portland 
Didn’t feel a drop
Now is coming down in mountains
It’s raining out
In Durban down in Portland
The devil heard 
Your praises now it’s pouring 
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

Followed in your footsteps 
On the righteous path I stay
I followed in your footsteps 
steadfast I do not stray
Followed in your footsteps 
On the righteous path I stay
Faithful are the flock
The week spirited don’t obey 
Here me now
Accused of serving for your protection
Here me now  
and then you take it all away in objection
Here me now 
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

I know my redeemer liveth 
Dem take away and then dem giveth 
Lo! how dem adversity afflicteth 
Thou art most merciful of all and forgiveth 
Naked from the mother's womb
Naked shall I return there
Naked from the mother's womb
Faithful without demand I shall return there
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

It’s raining out
In Durban now in Portland 
Didn’t feel a drop
Now is coming down in mountains
It’s raining out
In Durban down in Portland
The devil heard 
Your praises now it’s pouring 
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

Followed in your footsteps 
On the righteous path I stay
I followed in your footsteps 
Even though you took it all away
The devil covered up your tracks
Tempting to lead me astray 
Him covered up your tracks
But faith guides me back onto your way
Here me now
Dem attempting to tempt me to corruption
Here me now
Dem attempting to tempt me with deception
Here me now
Behold, the will of the Lord, that is wisdom
And to depart from evil is understanding
Oh Lord
The shelters been removed 
Oh Lord 
Will you see me through

Pt. 3
Babylon done a gonna flood now
Flooding down here in Babylon
Gonna sing jah jah praises
Dem praises gonna carry us home

I saw you one day drinking coffee and 
penciling words on a page
Thought maybe she’s writing the passages 
or acting them out on a stage
Its clear from your efforts and focus, you’re
sworn to the oaths of your art
Since you’ve been sharing your pain with me
Its torn me apart

Joan
Cold like a stone
Why did you leave?
Where did you go?
Joan
You left me alone
The lies that you weave
I wish I had known

You told me the roots of your storyline
Had me perched on the edge of my seat
I said you could stay on my sofa 
Just till you got on the soles of your feet
I fell for your naive anthology
I got lost in the pink of your hair
and woke in the fog of the morning 
when your things weren’t there

Joan
Cold like a stone
Why did you leave?
Where did you go?
Joan
You left me alone
The lies that you weave
I wish I had known

Lillithe:  Mix, Arrangement and Production

Verses:
One word ————legit started off right relax while I spit  rhymes start flowing without no script  my words don’t slip tongue is hitting like a whip My haters backing off me lickety-split  they never knew what hit them eat them up like chips  I came equipped it’s about to get lit  one more tip whenever they caught on flip the script
Born guilt free breed for survival  down with me or just another rival  adapt to society the family vital protecting the dynasty totally tribal  nothings free hand to Bible A beat a verse or melody moments that inspire me  to set the tracks on fire be routine self discovery  I am the title and the key that’s the way it’s got to be  till pallbearers carry me Enlightened yeah a prodigy constantly and harmony  Words spill like prophecy chance or probability  conceive and imagined this pages full of paper clips  binders full of rap hits solid hip-hop playlist  the hottest on the hot list tricked out tracks that don’t miss  Glad you showed some interest
Recognize the voice and face in the crowd  don’t hide skyline like I’m standing on a cloud  when I say my name I say it loud and proud  hide who I am hell no I boast  face plastered on every track that I post  the host with the most the last outpost  the attitude the approach is can’t do  Doing my best with the cards that I drew to myself and the fam I’m true blue  blessed be the vibe and my a point of view
Eat it up it’s a banquet my music my focus  delicious yeah spank it my passion my purpose  keep up or get vanquished step back don’t get nervous  is turnt up so crank it just scratching the surface  cash money so bank it a product a service
inspiring greatness go ahead embrace this keep it 100 nothing here has been wasted  slam dunking Haters Victories have been tasted  don’t get it twisted techniques unlisted  armed to the teeth my flow double fisted Who would have thought another level existed  still underground but spiritually lifted  not conflicted keep up don’t miss this versus been scripted  revised and transmitted staying unrestricted  although I’m addicted to the sound —sounds so wicked
Everyone knows the name people don’t act the same  guessing that’s the cost of fame simply surviving the game  but my aim is still the same now you can feel the flames  light it up heat it up that’s the reason that I came  drop a little off the top fresh like a barbershop Every day nonstop reclassified hip-hop —— now it’s gone mainstream the American dream  different flows different techniques different rhyme schemes  you either got it or you don’t —you got it on your dome  streaming through your headphones from your iPhone It’s so well-known I’m always in the zone  Just leave me alone audiophile syndrome  listening to my music it’s so therapeutic  I played in public tight beats on the streets —ill sounds in the jeep  at night when I go to bed I dream it while I sleep  don’t ask me to stop it—-dammit I admit it  it’s more than a habit —-I’m addicted to music  guess that’s why I love it

Losing My Grip (House Mix Ft. Laura V)

I set out to make a light and sensible track. This happened instead.

This track has a short video: https://www.instagram.com/p/CakT6T9gyhg/

Senseless

Feverently denying taught religion, even though it brings you comfort. Extolling Darwinian evolution, whilst feeling comforted by phones, Fitbits and myriads of bio technologies.

Consciously avoiding the group photograph's, then pondering where you are when you see the resulting masterpiece. Ever wondering which action makes you more human.

comprehending inhumane, but struggling to grasp human.

Sometimes the human touch isn't enough.

My children seek blankets or cuddly toys to comfort them. When I seek comfort/familiarity or reassurance, music offers me warmth, either listening to, or recording. 

Thank you for sharing your music, or listening to mine.

I'm very lucky. ☮️

Ode to peaceful

“Dancing with Shadows” is about moving through darkness—facing your fears, secrets, or past, and finding beauty in the unknown. It’s a metaphor for confronting inner struggles, embracing your hidden sides, or even finding comfort in solitude.
