Trying something a bit different here, or am I?
Working on the old fashioned broken heart style song, such as "Sealed With A Kiss".  Haven't tried this before so we'll see how it comes out. 


Valentines Heart

Shifting Visions( new mix)

One Acoustic guitar, some Celli and Vibes. 
This track was originally called 'So, misogyny, racism and corruption are OK after all' after the orange nutter was re-elected in a democracy.
Robert Llewellyn pointed out that this was a waste of a lovely track. 
I was watching the latest Professor Brian Cox BBC documentary programme 2 'Dark Planets' in his series 'Solar System' and I changed the title to celebrate the amazing reality of our universe and our staggeringly brilliant scientific ability to perceive it. The best in humanity is inspiring.

Dark Planets

Picture by me of one of our great cats on a table
This track was created with the kong gadget app on ipad
Steinway piano gadget
M1 synth for soft bells
Polysix Synth for bass
a gadget called Berlin for the lead solo
and a sampler gadget called Bildao for the drums, it lets you import your own drums but i stayed on one of the stock presets
Also the Modules gadget for electric git and vibraphone
I couldnt resist ending the track with my signature sustainpedal hold ;))

We wanted to finish our trio of songs, and our gift to our Soundcloud family, on a lovely and upbeat note of hope; hope for humanity, hope for the world we call home, and hope for our destiny as a human race.  The ultimate theme of Christmas is redemption and hope, and with that thought, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas:)

The Lost Path

Peter:
Stumbling down, falling from the path
Wondering what the future holds
Crumbling in the aftermath
The Easterlies bring winter’s cold
Pushing upwards, clamber back
We won’t concede to darkness clouds
Our trajectory is back on track
For a society with head held proud

David:
Won’t concede our children’s hopes
To nuclear weapon isotopes
Christmas calling from the bells
To drag us back from human hells
We won’t concede our freedom’s joy
By falling for the devil’s ploy
With a chain of hands across the land
We refute his vile demands

Seagull:
We lost our way in yesterdays
Seems we found the wilderness
But sanity will find a way
To build afresh and fix the mess
Reconstruct and laser cast
Shine the light with focused beam
Illumination clear at last
To reignite the human dream

Peter:
Won’t consign future’s child
To living in a world defiled
Christmas calling from the bells
Will reinforce what truth foretells
We won’t concede our freedom’s sun
But send despot evil on the run
A chain of hands, conviction wins
To lead us to the path again

Won’t concede to culture thieves
Who twist the truth that we believe
Our heritage is what we are
Leads us home when we stray too far
Returns us to the path we lost
Saves us suffering folly’s cost
Warms within, and strength imparts
To the burnished bonds of a Christmas family heart

The Lost Path (Peter, Seagull, David)

Fragile Tales [Part 3]

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
