For some reason my stream does not play well on SC for iPhone but sets do. So, I created a set of my music and it works perfectly. Odd. And yes, sadly, I do listen to my own music now and then .. somebody has to! ;-)



(Song Set) - All Original Songs

Well, this is what happens when you feel a little lonely one day and then spend several hours with your guitar ;) ... But I like the song anyway so decided to share it.

Lyrics: 
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
No one's com'n by to be ... by my side
By my side
By my side

No one to call
No one at all
No one's standing by to catch ... me if I fall
If I fall
No one at all

It's not hard to see
The sad side of me
If you knew me I am sure you'd agree
You'd agree
You'd agree

Someday I'll see
The good man in me
Then I'll know that I am free ... to be me
To be me
To be me

Nowhere to go
I'm older you know
Where my friends have gone I no ... longer know
I don't know
I don't know

No one to call
No one at all
No one's standing by to catch ... me if I fall
If I fall
No one at all
No one at all
No one at all

Always Introspective

"No One At All" - Original Demo

This song is what happens when you feel a little lonely one day and then spend several hours with your guitar ;-) ... But I like the song anyway so I decided to share it with everyone.

Shortly after posting the song to SoundCloud, I received a VERY kind comment from John of OneVision CrossWorlds. I would think about that comment often afterwards. Thanks John!!

Knowing what beautiful work John Styles and Matt Baker produce, having heard their music and listening to their tracks often, I took a chance and asked John if he would be interested in doing a collaboration with me on a future song. 

John said yes! ... Great, but what song?! Hmm. 

Well, John answered that question for me when he asked if he can work on this song. I am SO glad that he did because I happen to really like this song of mine - (what can I say - shameless ;-).

Anyway, I knew the results would be nothing short of wonderful and I was NOT disappointed! What a wonderful job John and Matt did with "No One At All". The arrangement, the instrumentation, and the production is fantastic! I wish I had the skills John and Matt have.

Thank you so much John and Matt for accepting my request and for producing such a beautiful version of "No One At All". I hope you all enjoy this work.

Respect!
Cd Martin

This is a remixed version with some added strings and some piano towards the end. For those of you that heard this song before, you won't hear much difference -- except for at the end I guess.

"No One At All" - Version 3

Two of my extended family relatives passed away recently. Just weeks apart. In my anger at their loss, this is what came out of my guitar. Thought I might share it for a while.

"I Can't Breathe" - In Memoriam: Eric Garner

NayJ for some reason wanted to do a vocal with me & I remembered I did this song awhile ago for fun so I sent it to her & she never heard this song before but in no time she come up with this!! Apparently I'm not off the hook thou??? LOL Thank-You NayJ for doing this!!! Love your addition!!!! ;)

Blue On Black/ NayJ & B - Train (duet)

Instrumental cover : Mark Kay (2015) - https://soundcloud.com/markaymufc
Vocal cover : Jean-Michel George (2015)

My talented friend Mark sent me this brilliant instrumental cover of OMD's "Messages" back in April, meaning that I have shamefully beaten all previous records of a slow and sloppy response to doing my share of the work since we first started collaborating two years ago ... And being the one who asked to add the vocal in the first place makes me all the more unforgivable :-/ So sorry about that Mark ;-)

Lyrics :

It worries me this kind of thing
How you hope to live alone
And occupy your waking hours
We're taking sides again
I just wept I couldn't understand
Why you started this again

And every day you send me more
It makes it worse is this a plan of yours
To ensure I don't forget
I'd write and tell you that I've burnt them all
But you never send me your address
And i've, I've kept them anyway

So don't ask me if I think it's true
That communication can bring hope to those
Who have gone their separate ways
It hardly touched me when it should have then
But memories are uncertain friends
When recalled by messages

Coded messages
Poison letters

Messages - OMD Cover (music; Mark Kay, vocals; JM George)

On March 26th, 2014 the Brooklyn Attractors, including Victor Axelrod, Andy Bassford, Larry McDonald, Brett Tubin, Dan Jeselsohn, Eddie Ocampo, Buford O’Sullivan, Anant Pradhan, Luke Penella, and Rich Graiko came together to play a show at the Shapeshifter Lab in Brooklyn, NY. Thankfully the audio was captured by the crew at Shapeshifter Lab and subsequently made available for release. This became “LIVE IN BROOKLYN”, the ATTRACTOR’S sophomore album and a rare hifi glance into the modern underground NYC Jamaican Jazz scene. The following is the unedited audio from that evening.

I trust them all
I trust them all

Out of your vision
Free
Out of your naked
Sea
Here in my middle
Free
Out of the maybe
Free

I done them all
I loved them all

Out of your vision
Free
Out of your memory
Free
Out of the maybe
Sea
Here in my middle

I lost it all
I lost it all

Out of your vision
Free
Out of your naked
Sea
Here in my middle
Free
Out of your daydream
Free
Yeah

When I first started out on this "medley" I thought it would take a couple of hours at the most ... As it turned out it was more like two days :-/ I managed to cram in thirty covers in just over 20 minutes of playing time, but the real challenge was trying to come up with some half decent transitions between each. Not always the case ... but it was still a lot of fun in the making.

Lyrics:
                                            
I’m sitting in the lonely bar just staring down a drink...
Wondering just how low my life can sink.

I was a better man with you, 
Oh a better man with you. 


And even through these hazy eyes it’s not too hard to see…
I’m lonely as a man could ever be.

I was a better man with you, 
Oh a better man with you. 


And even as I try to hide I’m haunted by the past…
Wondering just how long the pain will last. 
	
I was a better man with you, 
Oh a better man with you. 


Hey Mr. bartender just pass the bottle please…
I’m hoping it will bring me what I need.

I was a better man with you, 
Oh a better man with you. 

Ending:
I say hey Mr. bartender just pass the bottle please…
I’m hoping it will bring me what I need.

I was a better man with you….
Oh a better man with you…. 
Yes a better man with you…..
I was a better man with you.

Welcome to my SoundCloud page! Please click on the "Tracks" link to hear all of my music. I really appreciate it when anyone enjoys my music. Listen, download, like, share, enjoy! 

About me: 
I was born and raised on Long Island, NY. I'm a singer-songwriter as I enjoy writing my own songs most. I play acoustic guitar and the harmonica. My style of music is Contemporary Folk and Singer-Songwriter. The decade of music that most influenced my music taste is the 70's. Most influenced by Neil Young.  

I like to write songs from the heart. I want to express how I feel about past experiences, about current events, and just about anything else that really moves me in some meaningful way.  I hope that you "feel" what my songs are about too when you listen to them.
