It got quite well this one. I like it a lot.

You've made a great mix of all the elements in this song man, I'm proud to be a part of it. Thanks!

Great collaboration! Unique, imaginative and enjoyable.

watch me play this song live on the piano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP1tRu4sbKw
ooo crazy me again I find what I want and just set it free
you say go out enjoy have fun and live a little please
and don't come back until you're socially up to speed
A cold world a thirsting need
Can't set your mind on how to acquire your riches and fulfillment spiritually 
I walk alone window shopping lifting down a dead end street
Just empty shelves victims of a local access world where people speak but very seldom meet in such a false reality 
how's it gonna be when I can't even find myself got no direction only see my best in your reflection I know all I'm gonna see with out you's misery
That's why I hold you to blame, I hold you to blame, I'm going insane 
I lost heart a faithful soul
as she described her idea of a perfect mate I recognized like someone I know
and now I don't really feel like dying I don't even want to go home
I think I finally found somebody think I finally found someone who finally found me

H.A.M (having A Moment)

Steve asked me if I would like to make some additions to his song and this is the result! It's got a nice laid back groove, and the extract from St Pauls letter to the Corinthians is a philosophy that we should all live by : )

  	Tell me what's bothering you_ou. Tell me. Now. 
	Sit down close to me_e, just talk me, talk  me, now

	what you fe_el,  fee_el, in your soul.   
  	  	
  	Tell me what you lo_ove, you are happy about (tell me now)
  	Whisper int my ears, tel me, say: My love (say my love).

A-a-a-a-ha-a, ha_á  tell me, tell me now (Tell me darling.)

So, tel me darling.  just, tell me something. Secret of yours.
So, tel me darling.  just, tell me something. Open all doors. 
Open all doors.

Tell Me Now - PREMIERE: 21 May 2021

an old unfinished song from the 'magic carpet' album
https://soundcloud.com/user-649412648/sets/magic-carpet
just trying a different feel and singing real time to find words i can build on
and then i wrote some words while listening to that
next version is already on its way...the voice is rough on this :-0
i actually had the chords the wrong way round...i knew something wasn't right..amateur hour folks... :-)
maybe use it as a part b somewhere...ahem

needs to go down another tone
because i guess it isn't normal for my face to turn blue when singing...
is there a doctor in the house ?
:-)

(impro words + new written words)

i saw the city from the sunrise
she was shining like a pearl
i (said) hell i gotta rise above this little world

here fighting in the streets
gunfire in the afternoons
easy to get sick
easy to not make it through

but i realise
it's not such a bad way to spend my time
to get stuck in the river
in the middle of the rhythm and the rhyme
o it's the same thing every time
to get through the night
i go up above the city lights

maybe i'm half alive
maybe i'm inside the night
maybe i'm half dead

maybe i'm on that golden motorway
that leads to those olympic lights
up ahead

hey maybe i'm a dot
on a big map of stars......

not such a bad way to spend my nights
keeps me off the streets
creating at the double
just leave me here on my beach
i promise
i won't be any trouble

when rounds feel like years
you're the bell in my ears
like a siren on my side
till the end of the fight

so let's take our leave
time to reset
time to
b-r-e-a-t-h-e

up above the city lights

up above the city lights

This tune was released by Barry Manilow in 1974. Performed on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Inside their heads  Feat. Nic

‘The psych vibes echo round the valley bouncing off the sheep as they tumble and fall’

This is a collaboration with Tez aka Llanpsych https://soundcloud.com/llanpsych
It sprang out of one of our interchanges in relation to another track.
The lyric is full on nonsense in the tradition of Edward Lear/ Lewis Carrol, but contains a story within.
We had fun, hope you like it

Llanpsych is responsible for the guitar, beats (backwards and forwards are from Looperman - Pineapple Beats by Manson Productions), synth noises and bass
I am responsible for the lyric, vocal, strawberry flutes, sheep, monsters, mix and master

The Perils Of The Psychedelic Shepherd
   
When the sun comes up, on the Valley of the Psyche
Who is this, riding on his bike

All mistry glinps e foggly grools bestow le vallee Psyche 
A headstoll tills a tell abol de herol bade de low

Here the muchroom trees, make a dappled shade
And the brewery lees, form a beer cascade

He gensil bowl, he magit ban, he givid om lee hibsile
Egg-genrous man, he magit ban, soul – wakling by lee roadsile

He fought for his flock, against the Bandlerock
It’s snickering claws, tore his shepherds smock

Tenbendrous fight, all through the night, o hero he be kilded
Now his morbual soul, he gardes all, and Bandlerocks bewilded

Be OK

Well come a little closer I’ve got something for ya
A little something I made up all on my own yea-a-a
One part sharing the other part caring
Just want you to feel like you’re at home

Don’t you worry, don’t you worry no
You never know how things will go
Put one foot in front of the other
And pretty soon you will discover

As we make our way through the day
It’s gonna be ok, be ok, be ok
Be ok

Solo :)

If things don’t turn out quite like you plan
Just take some time and start over again
And over, and over

You got all you need right inside
So go ahead and give it a try, yea

There’s a reason for ya being
Let that reason be your guide

Cause the world these days can be so strange 
It’s a crying shame
But as we make our way through the day 
It’s gonna be ok
Be ok, be ok
Be ok

BeOk

experimental musician, I love sampling, breaking up and reassembling the fragments .... I have been working with musicians of various kinds and for some time together with my partner anam we have been producing rare pearls of a new hip hop.
