this is fabulous work,from the vocals to the instrumental

really well put together... very nice production elements.. subtle depth...

So well arranged, love that harp sound.  

Spooky while soothing.  Skillful & pleasing instrumentation, and voice fits the mood perfectly.  Fine song, Sir.

Wow, really great instrumentation and composition!

I heard it for some more times now and explored the lyrics and it is a really fascinating song. It might have even some parallels with my dreams song, where I also like exploring darkness, but the meaning stays more hidden for me, which makes it beautifully poetic. And I love the word "Gobblin", it has a very own magic... :)

A sweet and well produced song Christian. You have a real way with conveying the meaning of your words. Durge

Was playing around with some chords and was stuck for inspiration on a theme. My 9 year old wandered into the "studio" (spare room) so I said give me a title for a song. He told me he had only come in to say he was "missing pieces" of lego. So I said Missing Pieces will be the title and it grew from there 😃
I asked my good buddy Johnny from No Killie Fish to lay some of his awesome guitar lines for the lead guitar and I think it has really added some flavor to the track and the solo is killer!! He is an exceptional player and an even better person, check out his page at https://soundcloud.com/johnnymc2

Hendrik @cosmic-ratzzz asked for my rhythm trax from Cecilia's "Fresh Pure Air" @specialvocals  a tune he had collaborated on with me. I though he would do an instrumental version, and he did add some great instrumentation, but he had an ace up his sleeve in the form of Mz Emily Coy @freevocals 
We hope you enjoy this mash-up remix "The Madness"

The Madness w/ Cosmic Ratzzz  ft. Emily Coy

This is a new version of something I recorded a year ago. Since then I've had the (for some, dubious) pleasure of walking on a corpse road in Swaledale, with my kids. Which somehow brings me full circle on the lyrics of the  song.


Show them their fear
Don’t close the windows
On the thunder

Cast aside the tears
In the darkness
Let them wander

With goblins, and demons
Welcome the night
With problems, and feelings
Turn off the light

Shut down the screens
Fade to blackness
In the twilight

We’ll throw it all away
On the wayside
In the ditches

With monsters, and fairies
Welcome the night
We’re frightened and helpless
Turn off the light

Break down the doors
Smash the altars
And the crosses

Lead us astray
From the corpse road
Into forests

With phantoms, and spirits
Welcome the night
With feasting and dancing
Turn off the light

Welcome the night
Turn off the light

Turn Off The Light (new version for 2021)

With a tip of the hat to Woody...

A huge thank you from Jude and I to Phil (Philleann) for his transformational contribution to this little song:  magical pro soloist, executive producer, mixing engineer, audio consultant, secret backing track enhancer, technical genius and all round lovely chap.  Check out his music here https://soundcloud.com/philleann.     Thanks Phil!

Hit the ground crawling, seems a thousand years ago,
Ever since been falling down, no place I called home.
Now the tides of time are rising, waters lapping high,
No sense in compromising when you’ve no need for goodbyes.

Would have made peace with the Lord, if only I could find him,
Never did return my calls, guess he’s time a-bidin’.
So I figured as I’m all alone, and ever so shall be,
Grind my boots down to the bone, walking to my destiny.

But I’ll paint the clouds before I go, 
Though where I’m headed heaven knows,
Never prayed for guidance then, too late for it now.
Bloodshot eyes meet rising sun, 
No surprise I’m moving on,
Oftentimes, two can be a crowd.
Guess I was never bound for glory painting clouds.

At my silhouetted bridge of sighs, pause to catch the river air,
Reflecting on a life slipped by, meet my solitary stare.
So I’ll lay me ‘neath the willows at the babbled brook-side edge,
Mossy rock eternal pillow, sand my final bed.

But I’ll paint the clouds before I go, 
Though where I’m headed heaven knows,
Never prayed for guidance then, too late for it now.
Bloodshot eyes meet rising sun, 
No surprise I’m moving on,
Oftentimes, two can be a crowd.
Guess I was never bound for glory painting clouds.

………

But I’ll paint the clouds before I go, 
Where I’m headed the freight train knows,
Distant crying whistle calling softly to me now.
Drenched eyes fall ‘neath setting sun, 
Final call for moving on,
After all, even one can be a crowd.
Guess I was never bound for glory painting clouds.

#New #Original #Song #Electric #Shock #Tornado

[Chorus１]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
I'm rushing through and penetrate
A new clean, fresh, endless world
My instrument is Miku HATSUNE
Time control, yeah it’s a matter of course
Space movement, oh it’s mine
I'm rushing through and penetrate
A new clean, fresh, endless world
My instrument is Miku HATSUNE
In the rift of the horizon
That’s the galaxy shines
Oh my Muse

[Verse 1]
If you look at the earth from space
You can see the blue water world
The big waves of creation are swelling
Oh, the beat
It’’s the beat of our dream
Rips the surface of the ground 
Like a tornado 
Of electric shock

[Chorus]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
I'm rushing through and penetrate
A new clean, fresh, endless world
My instrument is Miku HATSUNE
Time control, yeah it’s a matter of course
Space movement, oh it’s mine
I'm rushing through and penetrate
A new clean, fresh, endless world
My instrument is Miku HATSUNE
In the rift of the horizon
That’s the galaxy shines
Oh my Muse

[Verse 2]
If you look at the sky from (the) ground
A lot of universes are flocking
The big bangs of creation are shining
Oh, the beat
It’’s the beat of our dream
Cross the parallel universe
Like a tornado
Of electric shock

[Chorus]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
I'm rushing through and penetrate
A new clean, fresh, endless world
My instrument is Miku HATSUNE
Time control, yeah it’s a matter of course
Space movement, oh it’s mine
I'm rushing through and penetrate
A new clean, fresh, endless world
My instrument is Miku HATSUNE
In the rift of the horizon
That’s the galaxy shines
Oh my Muse

Electric Shock Tornado

This was never, ever, intended as an Olympics thing but...

Keep It Burnin'

You looked me dead in my eyes and told me it wasn’t him. Told me I was crazy for even asking. I wanted to believe you, so I did. But the truth always finds a way to breathe. Every text, every late night, every quiet lie added up. This song is about that moment when denial finally breaks — when love turns into suspicion, and suspicion turns into proof. It’s about trusting someone with your whole heart just to find out they were protecting someone else the entire time.

This isn’t just a heartbreak song — it’s about betrayal, self-doubt, and the pain of realizing the person you defended was the one deceiving you.

you said it wasnt him

Patient Is the Night (Cavii Cover)

I believe that there are angels among us. Directed by God to help others in need. God is always there. All we have to do is open the door. Enjoy!!

This original tune is meant to convey the interplay between a Spinnaker sail and the wind.  It is in 5/8 time; primarily key of Eb.
Would love to hear any of your thoughts....Scott Owens

Spinnaker & Wind

I'm putting up new original material on my Spotify channel https://open.spotify.com/artist/2PtcG937rHfQWJwv0Zi4um?si=t1ppLngORgmuqz9qeoDOzw 
Mostly original tracks, a few covers here and there. Thank you for even getting this far. Thoughts, opinions, suggestions all welcome. It's pretty lonely out here toiling over every sound wave and grubby plugin. Any feedback is appreciated and if you've got a track you want me to hear send it over - what comes around goes around etc. A huge shout out to Len Rice for all his production suggestions on this and other tracks of mine - a true expert, check him out https://soundcloud.com/lenrice
One day I hope to get some collaborations going and a far off dream is to re awaken all these tracks in a live environment with a live band and maybe even a live audience. For now the dream keeps me going. Thanks for listening.

I'm trying to use as much real instrumentation as possible: a Taylor and a Norman acoustic guitars, a Fender Strat Roadhouse that goes out of tune if I even look at it, a cheap Vintage mandolin that hurts to play and listen to, an 80 year old zither banjo that screams 'I was never destined for this' and a borrowed Aria Pro II bass that a friend can never be bothered to take home on the bus. Synths are a plasticky Roland FA06 and a fun but dumb Korg minilogue. Throw in some Native Instruments software primarily for smoochy piano and strings, a £15 melodica full of tramp spit, some harps in impossible tunings, and a box of percussion and assorted prehistoric flints (are you really still reading this??). 

All recorded on Logic Pro X on an ancient iMac that is going to explode any minute and take my entire oeuvre with it. And most likely burn the house down.
