I’m so over the moon with this gorgeous collaboration. A treat to have Phil play this beautiful Uilleann Pipes (Irish bellow pipes) part! I have also written the music to go with this wonderful poem by Scottish poet Robert Burns. We hope you enjoy our Celtic offering! 😊🎶🎹🎵🎼

@philleann for more gorgeous music!

Thank you for finding this truck.
Shelter. I can stop and stare at myself for a while because of the rain. When the sound of rain envelops the world, everything is washed away and cleansed.

Was so wonderful to complete my 7th collaboration with David. His guitar additions are very beautiful on this song! @david-dunhamuser589535203 for more glorious guitar music! Thank you so much my friend! 😊🙏🎶
Also big thanks to my lovely Sander @wane-of-summer for mastering this for us...😊❤️

Picture by me. 😊

Oblivion 
Oh take me there
Cause I don’t wanna know
A world without you

But I’m just a sensitive soul
So tell me everything will be ok...

Oblivious 
Oh make me dream
Cause I don’t wanna know
A dream without you...

Cause I’m just a sensitive soul
I need to know
That it will be ok
But I’m just a sensitive soul
So tell me everything will be ok...

You can have my sensitive soul
Everything will be just fine
Just fine...

Sensitive Soul (with lovely guitar from David Dunham)

... the work on this track started with programming a beat, and is based on the tunings of the agogô bells :-) .... after blowing the "violin" with my Akai EWI I got aware of this track being a tango - danceable, I have checked this out, unfortunatly lacking a dance partner ;-) .... enjoy !

tango agogô

out on the open road
you'll never see it coming
where there's sweet surrender
when the time is right
through the blistering rainfall
to the eye of a hurricane 
couldn't see it clearly
'til the time was right

right here, right now
letting go now

down by the water's edge
such that we hardly noticed
yeah, we were so convincing
royalty of fools
couldn't take our sweet time
bit off more than we could chew
now all the evidence shows
that we are through

under the weeping willow
you can see a shadow
reaching down, down, down
receding to the ground
when they talk about it
got no mind for comfort
with your eyes on the road
with your eyes on the road

out on the open road
drawn into the horizon
feelin' Arizona
with a California heart
and the kids are moving
to the music so sublime
and everything is all right
and the time is right now

Michael Weber's Album

letting go

I’ve got my work cut out with you
Your fitted shirts, and your patent leather shoes
A choice of cars to drop your kids at school
You’ve got it
I want it too
 
I’ll find you drinking at the bar
You’ll tell me all about your personal par
Then late at night I’ll walk you home, sweet home
You’ve got it
I want that too

The wheel of fortune just keeps spinning on and on
Where it stops no-body knows
Your run of luck just bounced right off the table
You had it 
I’ve got it now

We’ll go inside for one last drink
I’ll fix your nightcap while you take a leak
And when you wake up you’ll be six feet deep
You had it
I’ve got it now

You thought the world belonged to you
Well now you know it was yours to lose
I was just waiting in the wings out there
You had it
I’ve got it now
 
You shouldn’t feel too bad about yourself
I quite admire your nerve
If I had been the one who had it all
I’m sure, you would have got to me first

The wheel of fortune just keeps spinning on and on
Where it stops no-body knows
Your run of luck just bounced right off the table
You had it 
I’ve got it
You blew it 
I won it
You lost it
I’ve got it now

And when you curse the day we met back then
And think about your life
Console yourself with this one last thought
It’s me, that’s sleeping with your wife

You had it 
I’ve got it
You blew it

You've got it, I want it

"OUT LOUD"

There is a lot of stuff going on
You don't hear my voice anymore
I feel I have to move on
I will no longer feel like this
Ahh ahh or like that ohh...
Cause there is a lot of stuff going on
Ahh ahh ah

I hear your voice inside
I hear your voice loud
I see you in my dream
I just wanna scream

And there is a lot of things I dont know
You don't tell me them anymore
I just feel I have to move on.. ohh oh
have to move on
Ah like that
Cause there is a lot things I dont know
like that , like this

I hear your voice inside
I hear your voice loud
I see you in my dream
I just have to scream out loud

I hear your voice inside
I hear your voice loud
I see you in my dream
I just wanna scream out loud
Ahhh out loud
Out loud 
ahh out loud
yeah out loud

Out Loud (with Stina Crow)

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.

You've got it, I want it
