I agree with other commenters that there is a Bowie-esque quality to your voice, cool to hear it added into the mix!!

This song feels very personal, you could be singing it to anyone! This reminds me of Mr. D.Bowie, your vocal’s are very reminiscent of his kind of sound. He had that gift of making a song fel like it was just sang for you. Great vibes.

This is great. Haunting beautiful melody with great lyrics juxtaposed over dance beat. Very unique and original Just great!

Maybe the final track in my Cloudlines series - maybe not :)
I've uploaded a video to accompany (and explain a bit)this piece:

Cloudlines No'11 (Laugharne)

Swimming with Sharks

Here a collaboration with my dearest Soulster Myrh:

New Moon With Myrh

when you were young, used to laugh all the time, life was happier then.
but as you grew older, you lost your way, then you lost all your friends.
it wasn't your fault, you are what you are, they just don't understand.
it didn't turn out like you thought, this is not what you planned.

runaway girl where have you gone? someone misses you now.
runaway girl where have you gone? can they save you now?

your mother's in tears, she doesn't know why, you've left them all behind.
she doesn't know what happened, when she wasn't there, the things that play on your mind.
he's not your father, just a man she met, he found her on the internet.
but she left you, all alone with him, the only girl that she should protect.

chorus.

broken in pieces, and so alone, you are heading for the suicide zone.
there's no one you can turn to now, gotta get help reach out somehow.
if you keep the pain bottled up inside, you'll be swallowed up by the incoming tide.
the girl whose smile turned to a frown, will take her last breath and then she will drown.

chorus.............repeat verse 1...........chorus x 2

Runaway girl.

V samoumevnost jezika

Poskušam se vsiliti v samoumevnost
jezika,
ga kot motor razdreti 
in spet sestaviti
po zakonitostih, ki zdržijo
spremembo stalnega naslova.

Hydra is the largest of the 88 modern constellations, measuring 1303 square degrees, and also the longest at over 100 degrees. Its southern end borders Libra and Centaurus and its northern end borders Cancer.[1] It was included among the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy. Commonly represented as a water snake, it straddles the celestial equator.

Hydra

Shall we leave our ancient friendship, the great 
never wooing gods, because the hard 
steel, which we strictly educated, does not know, disown them 
Or seek them suddenly on a map? 

These mighty friends that the dead take from us 
Take, nowhere touch our wheels. 
Our banquets we have far -, our baths, 
moved away, and their messengers, too slow for us for so long 

we always overtake. More lonely now on each other 
completely dependent on each other, without knowing each other, 
we no longer lead the paths as beautiful meanders.., 

but as degrees. Only in steam boilers burn the former fires 
the former fires burn and lift the hammers that are ever 
larger. But we are diminishing in strength, like swimmers. 

Rainer Maria Rilke, from: The Sonnets to Orpheus

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sollen wir unsere uralte Freundschaft, die großen 
niemals werbenden Götter, weil sie der harte 
Stahl, den wir streng erzogen, nicht kennt, verstoßen 
oder sie plötzlich suchen auf einer Karte? 

Diese gewaltigen Freunde, die uns die Toten 
nehmen, rühren nirgends an unsere Räder. 
Unsere Gastmähler haben wir weit -, unsere Bäder, 
fortgerückt, und ihre uns lang schon zu langsamen Boten 

überholen wir immer. Einsamer nun auf einander 
ganz angewiesen, ohne einander zu kennen, 
führen wir nicht mehr die Pfade als schöne Mäander, 

sondern als Grade. Nur noch in Dampfkesseln brennen 
die einstigen Feuer und heben die Hämmer, die immer 
größern. Wir aber nehmen an Kraft ab, wie Schwimmer. 

Rainer Maria Rilke, aus: Die Sonette an Orpheus

Another track inspired by Paul Kingsnorth's novel, "The Wake". 
I don't want to spoil the plot for prospective readers but this track is essentially about how places and times fix in our memories, making us yearn to return - perhaps to relive them in some way - although we know that world has gone.
The electric guitar is a Gibson 335 and the acoustic is a nylon string flamenco guitar fitted with brand new strings (what a difference new strings make!).

basic copyright on all tracks.
all of the tracks on here are made with a 12 track boss digital recorder.      to make some sounds more spacious such as the main chords and melodies i have to use 2 tracks at the same time. this is why i try to keep my tracks short because i can only use a limited number of sounds. if i use 2 tracks for bass, drums, chords and melody it only leaves me with 4 tracks for effects and secondary melodies. i prefer to record only one sound on the channels allocated as this avoids problems with volume levels.  i'm not a great musician, but i am also not very good with computers, so this is the only way i can demonstrate my musical ideas.  a big thank you to everyone who listens and comments.........and especially those who like.

Runaway girl.
