Words and Music Dave Rose
Headphones best.
I read a book a few years ago by Robert Hughes called Fatal Shore. It is thoroughly recommended, telling the stories of so many of the people who were simply transported to Australia for the most minor crimes carried out largely by people who were poor and starving. Australia today has become quite fantastic but the conditions back in the day must have been horrendous and terrifying for those people sent there.

Lyrics
Doesn't matter what my name is or any of these poor souls
Transported to Van Diemans land for stealing coal

Broke a rich man's law and there's Hell to pay
Transported to this fatal shore to serve our days

Conditions are horrendous the work is killing us
Never enough food, the guards are brutal and cruel

Broke a rich man's law and there's hell to pay
Transported to this fatal shore to serve our days

What became of my family, they'll never know what became of me
Will anyone tell my story?
What will be my legacy or my history?

Now as ghosts we look across this harbour from across the rocks
All these people all these buildings its changed so much
No more this fatal shore......This is Australia

Fatal Shore

Retired musician .  Just writing a few simple songs about
life and growing old.  Song about my childhood on a
Louisiana delta farm.  Most songs were written and composed by me on my Boss  BR8 Digital Recording Studio.  Hope to complete my first CD soon.  I have a few cover songs also.
 

Hello,
Here are some songs wot I wrote. Mostly recorded at home as a sort of one man band set up.
Sometimes other musicians play on the tunes too.

A little stroll on the mild side 🎧

"Dave was awarded 4th best tambourinist in his cul de sac whilst still only 37, he still plays tambourine today whilst his peers have abandoned tambourine. Think that speaks volumes to Dave's commitment to his music". (Big Hits Magazine}

"Dave is a blues crooner who sings everything in B Flat" Rex Bone 



I have a tendency to remove songs to tweak them and reload. Sometimes they never return 🤔

Headphones recommended.

Somewhere77’ is a London based self-taught solo artist, delivering more of a traditional song writing style with rock, acoustic, folk, country and blues influences.

2024 saw the release of the debut album “Whipped, Stripped & Almost Unplugged” which is a fully acoustic album of original songs featuring the Taylor 214CE DLX and recorded on a Boss BR80. 

Further releases have arrived and will continue to come which will be part of the next album called "The Road to Retrospection" in the near future.

Yes my vocals can be an acquired taste (this is not my day job! 😂) but I do hope that you can at least enjoy the musical melodical side of things.

With occasional assistance from long time friend and collaborator ©️CrackerJack on various tracks, both artists are proud to produce and share music with you and hope that you can find a song among what we have created.

Much Love

I'm here to share and appreciate all genres of music.  Most of what I am currently recording is electronic, and largely ambient, in nature; however, I have recently started recording cover songs of various tunes.  So, since I'm no longer strictly ambient (only mostly), I've changed my SoundCloud name to Smooth Waters Sonic Journeys.  Headphones greatly enhance the listening experience.  Thank you for listening.

Demos and sketches of songs, mostly recorded in my home studio.
Part of the Netta&McGill duo.
Thanks for having a listen.

Welcome to my SoundCloud page.  It serves as a jar of sorts, to catch the musical ideas flying around in my head!  My hope is that you find something to listen to that offers encouragement and refreshes your soul.

All music is original with a few exceptions (such as new arrangements of old Christmas songs, etc.).  All music has been composed and performed with absolutely no AI-assistance.  I primarily perform and record on the Yamaha MODX8, with an occasional recording on my older Yamaha Clavinova.  You will also find collaborative works on my page, featuring some other amazing musicians on SoundCloud.

It is a joy to share my music with you, and I hope you enjoy listening!

Welcome and thank you for listening. 
I am now ready to release a few new tracks starting this July 2025.
I still have a couple of re-mixed & mastered tracks from previous years that I'll finish releasing this year, as I start fresh with new ideas and expressions.

I play guitar, bass guitar and a midi keyboard for solo's and synth pads. All other instruments/effects are provided by Garageband and/or Logic loops plus instrument plugin patches. All drumming tracks are produced within Garageband or Logic.
Again, I appreciate your support as I continue the work on improving my craft, writing and producing.
Regards, Latz
