This an another one of those semi-live recordings. We took an initial iPhone recording of mine that was meant to be a simple test run and decided to keep it as the base to which Nat added her lovely harmony vocals and piano. It’s a very gentle, quiet love song that expresses how our deeply personal core is really one with nature, with God, where only the truest of spirits can find a home to share in love. The pine trees know and the dawn reveals such truths.

Lyrics: WANTING

What I want is simple 
As stand the swaying pines
So quietly a symbol
Of this heart of mine
Reaching for the sunlight
To gain the heavens’ view
And when each storm expires
Will solemn watch renew

Yes, simple is my compass
It steadies on one light
It quiets the presumptuous
Withstands the darkest night
And deep within my wanting
I hear the pine trees sway
A call so low and haunting
To watch you slip away

Yes, I know well my longing
I watch, and there’s the sound
Of stars that rest with dawning
As the sunshine comes around
The warming of my inner-most
With gray and green and blue
Wanting is no more a ghost
The pine trees sing of you

Wanting

Wanting (live)

A musician writing originals since 1972. I still write my own Lyrics and Music . I perform all the instruments you are hearing. (Guitars / Bass / Keyboards/ Percussion and  all Vocals ) I do use a drum program when the arrangements are too complex.

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.

1st album by Charlie and the Fox is out now https://open.spotify.com/album/78ewrWZjS41XvHT9mFWd6O?si=qkG2b5LbSK6mo6qDzuZskw Quick note , if someone plays a track of mine I Always return the favour , and if they have no tracks I always say thank you ! But sometimes SC will show me all the listeners , but other times they only show me the last 2 hours and I have no idea of who listened to what , it is so annoying , and I apologise if I miss anyone out , it's not deliberate , I value every single one of my listeners ! Self confessed Music Addict ! I write and play/vocalise everything myself whether it be real or synthetic . Recently teamed up with Charlotte Thornton , and together we are Charlie and the Fox , it's the best thing I have ever done musically . Char has an outstanding voice , writes amazing lyrics and comes up with melodies I would never have dreamed of , it's a partnership that works so well , and long may it continue ! We thank you for listening , liking and commenting . Cheers , Mike and Char .

Two song writers, two kindred spirits... that found each other by pure happenstance and great fortune, to collaborate and create music together.

Poetry is not an obsession but a vocation. It's a river you jump into as soon as you're called, and you spend your life floating with the current.  JIM HARRISON ( 1937 - 2016 )
La poésie n'est pas une obsession mais une vocation. C'est une rivière dans laquelle tu sautes dès qu'on t'y appelle et tu passes ta vie à flotter au gré du courant. JIM HARRISON ( 1937 - 2016 )
