Well finally a break from all that electronic rubbish I've been creating recently. A peaceful orchestral track composed on a lazy Sunday afternoon in Nha Trang, Vietnam, enjoy!

The Why

Another return to the synths and beats, I can't keep away! As an added bonus, this one features my somewhat unrecognisable vocals.

Standing By

This one was hiding in the cobwebs for well over a year so I brushed it up recently and here it is. Electronic piece that maybe goes on a bit too long but I just couldn't bring myself to cut it, sorry :/

Kestrel

A majestic track from the French lads. When I heard this first I knew I had to cover it. So I covered it.

Veridis Quo (Daft Punk Cover)

Short but lively acoustic piece featuring hard piano chords, some high speed tinkling and some old fashioned drum and bass, seemed to suit a gambling theme for me.

The Gambler

A mellow chillout track recorded during my time at sumalee boxing gym in Thailand, hence the creative name!

Sumalee

A lazy Saturday mornings work. This took about 2 hours to extract from the depths of my brain, into the Mac and finally up to Soundcloud. Technology is good.

Inside A Dream

I was messing around with the flamenco guitar sounds and this just evolved into a sort of Spanish folk tune, with some piano and pipes thrown in of course

Spanska Fisk

A nice healthy dose of synth and electric guitar with some orchestral strings thrown into the mix. Kind of stuck with just the one bass note throughout so it may (or may not) get boring :)

No Turning Back

We All Fall Down

I Feel It Here

A lazy November morning tinkering on the old joanna. This was the end result.

Footprints

Put on your watermelon shoes because it's the watermelon groove. With extra vocoder.

Watermelon Groove

An Empty Chair

The Ice Forest

A synth-pop track which was the direct result of getting sidetracked while covering the excellent 'Nightcall' by Kavinsky. I'm not exactly sure what's going down at the beach tonight, but I think I want to go.

Beach Tonight

Home, it’s not something in me 
It’s not a place I can find
It’s not a place I can see
Home, it’s just another word I hear
Another word lost in time 
Another word lost on me

Time, I’m feeling like it’s closing in
Burning in a distant sphere
Burning with an endless grin
Time, I never really wanted more
All I really have is here
All I really know is now

It’s just my world and me
it’s just my world and me
That’s all there’ll ever be 
It’s just my world and me

Now, there’s nothing really left to say
Nobody’s even gonna hear
Nobody’s even gonna know
Now, what hangs inside my mind
Nobody’s ever gonna find
Nobody’s ever gonna care

It’s just my world and me
it’s just my world and me
That’s all there’ll ever be 
It’s just my world and me

My World And Me

I'm not really what genre this is. It's possibly about one's journey across a vast landscape, searching for something that was already there. 

I came to California
Heard there’s gold upon the hills
I tried to climb a mountain
But the crowd began to kill

I headed east for Alabama
I wandered for the Southern love
Drifted far along the white fields
Greeted only by a mourning dove

[Chorus]
This is all I cry		
This is all I feel		
This is how I love 	
This is how I heal	

This is why I live		
This is how I’ll die
This is all I am		
This is all I’m not  

I hitched a ride on a big rig
Headed where I never said
Looking down upon the bad world
I looked to Red and said my soul is dead

He stared ahead his eyes unshackled 
Then he grinned and turned to me
He said boy you’ve got today
So make it pay and let tomorrow set you free

[Chorus]

If you lie below an oak tree
You’ll see a world you never thought could be believed 
It’s been always right in front of me
But I never took the time to see
Still I sleep alone at night
I discovered peace that lies beneath the quiet so deep
I can’t deny these words I write
I found the light 
I found the light

[Chorus]

All I'm Not

Pain, there’s a river running through my veins
raging like a hurricane
burning like an open flame
it doesn’t feel a part of me 
But It’s a broken part of me

And when it’s in flow, it’s alive, it’s got hands that wanna pull me in 
Pressure it piles and it piles until I let the spirit smother me
Slipping and sliding and prying as I let the spirit smother me
maybe it’s protecting me   
maybe it’s a part of me
 
Heal me Heal me
I’m beggin' for a remedy
Heal me Heal me
tell me it’s gonna ease
Heal me, Heal me
From the war inside my bones
But I’m not gonna run

Hope, I think it’s got some feathers left
Braving through an endless storm
Perching in the strangest sea
Smiling at eternity
I think that it’s a part of me

And when I’m alone, and it’s growin' and it feels like there’s a reason to run
I sit with the song and I sing and it’s sweetest thing I’ve ever heard
It really is a part of me
Yet never in extremity

Heal me Heal me
I’m beggin' for a remedy
Heal me Heal me
tell me it’s gonna ease
Heal me, Heal me
From the war inside my bones
But I’m not gonna run
[X 2]

Heal Me

Sing with the wind
Just a moment in time
You opened the sky
And you threw me a line

Rise with the pride
You fed my desires 
You paved and you sailed 
Though you struggled inside 

Roll with the thunder 
When the demons attack
There’s a light up ahead 
It’s ok to look back 

Smile at the fear
It’s bigger than me
It’s bigger than all it’s pretending to be

Sing with the wind
Just a moment in time
You opened the sky
And you said your goodbyes

Dance with the pain
Never felt so alive
There’s a hole in the sky
And there’s nothing inside

Sing With The Wind

Photograph

I often wondered why you never cried
You wandered, pouring out your empty smiles
And I’ll never know, you’ll never say 
Exactly what you wanted out of me
And I see it now, I know your ways
I realise it’s all a game 

Looking at a photograph, a photograph
I’m lookin at a photograph
It’s in a photograph, a photograph
I’m lookin at a photograph

When you let me down, I came around, I think it was a Saturday
You cut cord, you shut the door and went away on holiday

Looking at a photograph, a photograph
I’m lookin at a photograph
It’s in a photograph, a photograph
I’m lookin at a photograph

As sure as night will follow day
Always the same
I think you really set me free
Looking at a photograph, a photograph
I think it’s in the photograph

I often wonder why we get so blind
Wandering around throwing away our precious time
But it’s all a part of a plan we never even get to see
And where I am now, is where I am supposed to be

Looking at a photograph, a photograph
I’m lookin at a photograph
It’s in a photograph, a photograph
I’m lookin at a photograph

As sure as night will follow day
Always the same
I know you really set me free
Looking at a photograph, a photograph
I think it’s in the photograph
You really set me free

Photograph

Drop down in the middle of the morning
Back up if you got a bad feeling
Sing high there ain’t no ceiling
The devil works late in the evening
Live life laughing when the wind blows
Step down, take a sip of rainbow
Church bells, hymns for the big man
Never mind I heard he’s just a hitman 

[Chorus]
Climb up I’m gonna need a helper
What’s your name? you look a bit familiar 
Don’t speak come on and have little a sip
For you see I’m gonna build a big rocket ship
Climb up I’m gonna be your leader
This it it we’re all gonna leave here
Lie down it’s gonna be a long trip
Don’t you see I’m gonna fly a big rocket ship  

Jump, jump, jump, jump
Jump aboard, we’re flying on a rocket ship (x2)

High tide, rumble in a rough sea
Free ride if your in the right company
Dress well, don’t admit your breakdown
Gather round, only if you’re feeling treasure bound
Gin town when the green cards tumble
Never thought the quarterback would fumble
All aboard, we’re flying to the underground
It’s in the script but the curtain never came down

[Chorus]

Relax this won’t hurt you
Drift away and let the spirits come and take you
Be still, be not afraid
Because your decision has been made

[Chorus]

Jump, jump, jump, jump
Jump aboard, we’re flying on a rocket ship (x loads)
