Wow, such vividly descriptive lyrics Christopher. Nice melody with expressive vocals too.

Really cool folk song . Goid vocals as well !

Really good song. Love the arrangement and your voice. 👏👏

I like this engaging song Chris. I use the manual eq in GB, and have gone from totally overdoing it to starting from the presets and slowly seeing how it goes from there.

Such a lovely Moody Blues vibe throughout the song and especially in the instrumental break. This is quality songwriting and top-shelf performances.

Good song and nice vibe. can't place what it reminds me of. but it's good.

Lyrics
As you walk to the window there’s people passing by
wonder if they’re feeling what your feeling deep inside
There’s something missing I feel like you should know
I had a good friend tell me,  many years ago

You got to move to know what it’s all about
It’s just a matter of time before it all works out.

just a matter of time before it comes your way
not always easy when, just another crowded day
Things start to happen It all falls into place
Now you're on your path to living your life filled with grace.

It’s just a matter of time before it all works out.
It’s just a matter of time feels like a dopamine rush

Written in March 1997.  The message behind this one is “don’t worry, be happy” although I appreciate that’s not always easy.  Listen with headphones.


Time and Tide


Time and tide they wait for no one
You know it when you’re melancholy
Oh so down and blue
So don’t fill your cup with sorrow
Nor lace it with bad news
Open up your eyes
See the brand new skies
Stretching overhead

Lips that touched the brim of knowing
What is good and felt it glowing
But never took a drop
You’re wanting something better
And hope it comes along
Remember time’s not tide
Once it’s offered you a ride
Won’t come this way again

It’s difficult to make predictions 
Based on what you think is true
Uncertainty prevails
Everybody feels like this
Each moment is a precipice
So step up to the edge
And when you take that stride
Spread your wings and glide
Let loose all the threads

When the moon pulls on the ocean
And makes you feel so melancholy
Oh so down and blue
Don’t fill your cup with sorrow
Nor lace it with bad news
Open up your eyes
See the brand new skies
Stretching overhead
Reach for them instead

Hi guys, really proud today introducing a very fruitful collab with my friend Dirk Taubenheim from The Gatsbys. This song means a lot to me, as this is my very first song I partly wrote almost 15 years ago. I only finished music and arrangement last year, and considering the great welcome this song had from you all, I decided to carry on the work and write lyrics. 
Once it was finished, I offered Dirk to sing it, as I always thought he had the admirable rocky voice this song deserved. He accepted straight away to sing it, which was an honor for me considering his prolific songwriting career. If you don't know him yet, you definitely have to visit his SC page : https://soundcloud.com/the-gatsbys
I hope you enjoy, and best wishes to you all.

Thank you for listening !

Hello dear friends. It's been a long while. We've all been through hell some way or other and I wish you love joy and strength.
It was great having Brian visit us in Durban this past month (the old boy's leaving on Friday). Well while he was here I got him to do some backing vocals. And he was a big help with the mixing as well. Thanks Brian!

Legerdemain - words and music Johnny Minstrel 

Bring out your entertainers
the jugglers and the clowns
We’re in the belly of the beast
as the world shuts down
All is smoke and mirrors
I hear someone say
Living the illusion
till Judgement Day 

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

He’s gonna blow your mind
Mo Magic’s back in town
There’s always something kinder
Whenever he’s around
Today is like tomorrow
Uncertain and unclear
Spill your drink of sorrows
God knows that’s too much beer

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Well there’s nobody here
Anymore than somebody there
Guess I’ll meet you in the ether
On some dodgy cable line
And if you see me turn the corner
Wave a hello or goodbye
Who knows where I’ll be going
And who I’ll be next time
Who I’ll be next time 

Bring out your entertainers
All the world’s a stage
Just looks a little smaller
In this virtual cage
So, throw in a coin dear missus
I promise you a thrill
Not stealing from the masses
Or teaching how to kill

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

M-The Sunrise on New Year's Day

Here's the first Anomon & Elliot recording in a New Series of musical conversations in 'The Livingroom', in February 2023. And today (Feb. 21st it's #2 on the SC New & Hot Ambient Chart in North America. 

The tones and textures Tim created on his guitar as we began improvising reminded me of the Erhu.. the two stringed Chinese instrument played with a bow. It felt like we were actually looking out over the amazing horizon in the photo above, filled with wonder. Shortly after, we found our way into the musical equivalent of Para-Gliding over the clouds in very cool n joyous groove that continues to pulse through until the finish.

We hope you'll enJOY, too. 😊

Melusine [Compo]- Solo (new version)

I have been writing songs on and off over the last 30+ years. In that time I’ve filled a couple of exercise books with quite a bit of music. I do my best with a very simple recording set up, the songs are all recorded using my 29 year old Washburn guitar and GarageBand on my iPad with a cheap mic in my front room, usually with a cup of coffee. And some biscuits.
