You've truely captured the Bond vibe. This would be a perfect theme for a 70's Bond movie!

This is so Bond. My dads aunty used to clean roger moores house in Leicester. Interesting fact. lol

You’ve nailed the Bond theme beautifully! 

definitely got the James Bond vibe, love it!ç

                            DISCONNECTION AND REFLECTION

Monday’s ‘round again - And those prayers on Sunday,
Haven’t changed a thing – She’s still disconnected,
From her life and confidence,
More than luck or happenstance - needed here,
Twist the knife with obedience,
She seems drawn to coincidence – and her fears
Can’t dry those tears

Weekend’s ‘round again – Not long now ‘til Monday,
Nothings changed again – She’s still disconnected,
From oblique encouragement,
No more truth or embellishment - needed here,
Draw that knife with confidence,
She seems drawn to insolence – and her tears
Can’t quell those fears

She wonders if there’s hope for a world without end, (world without end),
Or is she destined to search long for a friend, to help or lend her a hand,

Monday’s ‘round again - And those prayers on Sunday,
Haven’t changed a thing – She’s still disconnected,

COMUSO Songwriting Entry March 2024 'Disconnection and Reflection'

The Royal Me

I've remixed a few songs that I think are worth a beter sound quality. There aren't many, but this is one of them, mainly because of the beautiful burlesque brass arrangement by my good old friend Dave.

[Rough translation of the Dutch lyrics]
DANCE FOOL
the wise is lagging behind the fools
the wise slowly walks on rigid foot
the fools stay constantly amazed
they have the music in their blood

dance fool, dance fool
dance fool, dance fool

the wise formulates in tight phrases
a judgment about evil and good
the fool hovers between despair and ecstasy
he will dance his way to fate

dance fool, dance fool
dance fool, dance fool

The end of wisdom 
is that one will never know anything
the fool forgets the truth
he picks a rose for the ball
whenever heaven breaks open
or the world will end
the wise claims and preaches
the fool stays in his illusions

dance fool, dance fool
dance fool, dance fool

Written*, performed & mixed by me
Saxes & Clarinets and horn/woodwind arrangement: Dave McKeown
Drums: Matt Snowden
Cover art: made with DALL-E

*the lyrics are an adaption of the poem “De wijzen blijven achter bij de dwazen” by H.W.J.M Keuls (1883-1968).

Dans Dwaas

DANS DWAAS (dance fool) with Dave McKeown

When Charlotte sent me her rough idea for a song , it's working title was ' Sad Song ' , and it was going to be a ballad , as time went on it developed into a sort of dance track , we're so pleased with how this has turned out , hope you like it ! We've nearly finished a great Rock ballad , so excited about it . In the meantime I've nearly finished a super song with Lyricist Andrea Brennan from New York , we have our 1st song out on the 1st of May . Just before that on the 22nd of this month is a smashing Country Rock song I did with Alabama Lyricist Tony Harris , thank you for staying tuned !

Where You Belong (Preview)

I wrote this in 2019, after reading the announcement of the title. The movie came out after being postponed for like a year, with a Billie Eilish theme song months, which is nice. Mine's an old Bond theme song style. 

NO TIME TO DIE

That last night
She stood there as you walked away
Her eyes asked why
Yours had nothing to say
You slip through a door
And leave her behind
She’s out of your sight
But you are not blind
There’s still a trace
Of her lovely face
Inside your mind

The cold blood
That runs in and out of your veins
Never warms up
But passion remains
Her heart beats so fast
Yours almost still
She prays dawn won’t come
But knows that it will
When daylight appears
You’ll dry her tears
For you’ve time to kill
But no time to die

And death is always close
Its smell is on your clothes
Its breath has singed your skin
You beat it before
But can you again?

And it’s now the hour
You knew would arrive
Up to this point
You fought to survive
Now fight for a love
One strong enough
To keep you alive 
You’ve no time to die

No Time to Die

NOTICE: I DO NOT PAY FOR PROMOTION. EVER.

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!) and I've pretty much never stopped. These are mostly solo recording projects (my brother, Fog City Fogey, contributes sometimes).  I don't do much self-promotion, not a fan of Repost Exchange etc, so all of you who find this page and like a song or two - you are truly appreciated!
