Uh oh, somebody's been listening to Supertramp!

Lyrics:
Going back to those good old, bad old days
I'd come over to your place
We'd drink some wine (all afternoon!)
The good old, bad old days
That's how I live my life
Stumbling through onto another day
When she turned to me and say 
With a smile
When you make love (3X)

Chorus: It's all feel
All feel and no technique
That's how I live my life

I was making music, strumming my 6 string
It brings me joy
I follow my bliss ( just like this!)
And if you hear me sing
If you hear me sing (2X)
It's with all feel...
(Chorus)
I might sleep over at the beach
I might stay over at your place
That's how I live my life
It's how I like to do my thing
(Chorus)
All feel and no technique

All Feel and No Technique

Having a bit of fun on my take on traditional blues.
Playing guitar, bass and harmonica. Hammond sound and drums played/created with midi keyboard through Studio One daw.

My friends they all say, I’ve got to pay my dues.
I’ll never be no guitar man , till I’ve played the blues
They say rock is fine and it can get you by
But you gotta dig deep inside for those words that make you cry
And then and only then, can you call your self a real blues man.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got me a pen and paper to write down what I’d say
Picked up my guitar and thought I’d play in the key of A
But I just drew a blank, and the words just wouldn’t come.
Maybe the mood just wasn’t right, so had me a shot of rum.
That was a big mistake,  now I can’t even play my guitar.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

I’m thinking maybe, I may of had it easy.
Nothing too troublesome, and nothing to drive me crazy
Life has been pretty good, really can’t complain.
So many have had it bad and can tell you all about the about pain.
Take a look around you and you’ll see you’ve had it pretty good.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got my rhythm down but I have no words to sing
Seems you got to pay the price, for the blues to be your thing
Lose your girl, lose you job and maybe even lose your mind.
Words will start to flow, when you’re down and out you’ll find
And then and only then, you start to sing the blues.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

LYRICS
You Promised Me – by Lorraine Baron

Verse 1
Your moondust settled in my eyes
Your magic took me by surprise
You said you’d move heaven and earth
And I believed what I preferred

Chorus
You promised me the stars
You said the world was ours
You promised me the moon
I only wanted you

Verse 2
You said you needed some more time
I thought I’d maybe heard that line
You said love comes to those who wait
And now I fear what trust erased

Bridge
Why can’t we have it all
The splendid and the small
Why can’t we just believe
In magic guaranteed

You Promised Me

You Promised Me - 2021 Mix

Top of the World

Top Of The World

a C÷M song (collaboration with https://soundcloud.com/allopenelectrics)

Space – you never told me ‘bout the pastures in your head
Face – you never told me ‘bout the actor's life you led

Walking through the silent timeline

Time – you never told me ‘bout the time it takes to learn
Crime – you never told me ‘bout the wasted time you burn
Hate – you never told me ‘bout the need to let it go
Wait –you never told me ‘bout the rustic lies you know 

Walking through the silent timeline

In your imagination, the fields and the sky, the wind  in your hair, in your mind’s eye
With nature your soul-mate, your bountiful friend, your loyal companion, love without end
A life without worries, anxiety free, a life without danger, a life without me
But that’s just a dream, a construction, in vain
The cruel rustic silence would crush you again

Rustic Silence (by C÷M )

High Line

This song is based on an original idea by Jeff Buckley and Liz Fraser. Sadly it was never finished or properly recorded in his lifetime. Bethany and I thought that the song deserved to be completed and so we set out to do just that.

The full band version of this song can be found on Bethany's SC profile:

https://soundcloud.com/bethanygraceuk/all-flowers-in-time-bend-towards-the-sun

This version is the Acoustic Mix.

There were so many great performances from the musicians involved that we really thought it would be great to really hear the quieter instruments in their own setting. Not only does it give yet another take on the song but it also allows you to really hear the beautiful vocals once again.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.

Many thanks to Monkey Blood Lowdown, third world renowned multi-instrumentalist, board certified licensed ninja, expert nerf dart marksman, and retired Kawasaki mechanic(https://soundcloud.com/monkeybloodlowdown?ref=clipboard). This is his tune, and he plays the drums and organ. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to add the rhythm and lead guitars to this rendition. You should check out his original (https://soundcloud.com/monkeybloodlowdown/long-phase-1?ref=clipboard), which I favor over this rendition; I won't pretend to have improved it. I would be much obliged if you gave that one a spin. 

Also check out the work Monkey Blood Lowdown does with this oddball groove band, one of my favorite bands: https://soundcloud.com/user-291890055?ref=clipboard
