Closing

I shared a Latin Pop version of this song two years ago with vocals performed by our friend Richard John (thank you Richard).  Well, here is another version of the song which existed back then that was not pursued.  As I'm scrapping the barrels, thought I might as well give it a go.  This is Celtic folk approach with a different ending where I added an additional verse of new melody & lyrics.

One of my favourite compositions.  Just see what you think.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Let me lead you through the silver stars			
We can kiss under the moon			
And wrapped inside each others arms			
I can show how your path could be			
If you walk in peace and come along freely with me			
		
Watch the sun slip away into the night			
Hold each other till it goes out of sight			
Don't ever hide or stop thinking of me 			

(Chorus)			
I only want to be your secret dream			
No-one else can see, no-one else can dream			
When the sun comes up	and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you run inside my head			
Thoughts of all we shared			
			
If you like, we could dance under the rain			
Life will be full of magic as it begins to change			
I'm watching you thru my lattice window			
Behind the glass just like a shadow			
I can show you how I will guide your hand
	
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental break
 			
As you lay down alone and turn your head			
Feel the cold from your empty bed			
Close your eyes and keep thinking of me			
			
Have a secret dream		
No-one else can see			
No-one else can dream		
Only you can see			
When the sun comes up and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you run inside my head	
Thoughts of all we shared	

Watching you through my lattice window.......
       as the sun slips into the night.............
Watching you through my lattice window.......
       as the thoughts go out of sight

Lattice Window

I threw a box of primary school instruments at The Waterboys' This is the Sea!
This is one of my favourite songfs in the world- it's been with me since teenage years. There's no point trying to get the epic majesty of the original so did something different with it- a little bit funky with a touch of early Floyd psych perhaps.

Finished with my woman …

Beat me with a big stick 
Trying all your usual tricks 
That ain’t gonna cut it no no 
That ain’t gonna cut it no more
Frozen in your headlights 
Helpless in your dead lights 
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love
Blow me up with a bomb bomb bomb
Shoulder for my tears 
Get to know me inside out
Then attack me with my fears

Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love 

So I went down to the river
The witch told me the cure
I must spit when I say your name
Throw your picture into the flames 
Cross myself 1 2 3 times
Salt the earth where you stood beside me 
Then I cut - cut you out 
Once upon a time I was cursed by love

You thought you could fool me
Thought you controlled me
Thought you could take me 
Thought you could keep me
Underestimated me
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love 
Now it’s you in my head lights 
And it’s you in my dead lights 
Finished with my woman 
Once upon a time 
I was cursed by love

Verse 1
Since the Fall we fought
lifetime of war goes on and on
two spirits rage within me
spoils to the victor the one I entertain
Tag
Surrender, Surrender, Surrender, Surrender
Chorus
A war wages, a battle already won
a soul faces a choice the lines have been drawn
The Lord our Righteousness 
He is our shield of strength
Savior today, judgment tomorrow
Verse 2
Clever lies from the fallen one
Constant waves of deception
There is no power but through Christ.
Of two master's you will hate the one and love the other
Repeat Tag and Chorus
Bridge
Look for Me, I'm everywhere
Read My Word, I will guide you
Pray unto Me, I will answer
You will know, just seek my face

Hi!
I am experimenting with shorter ambient pieces at the moment. It is kinda strange to use so few ideas and sounds in a song, but these kind of challenges are pushing you to new territories you might never see otherwise. 

Expect to see a bunch of new music in this style so i can give you a whole list of music to sleep / chill / study to. : )

Vanishing Waves

Another great poem from Lady of Fire Poetry, covered in experimental sounds, strong rhythm and the tiniest bit of classical instruments (for the careful listeners).  The cool artwork is non-AI by Alexandra Webersberger; incredibly cool, thanks Ali!

myself (EP)

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

I am an artist, writer and musician from Hastings, UK.  I make slightly wonky acoustic folk-pop, often with unusual guitar tunings, along with instrumentals that mix acoustic and electronic textures. 

Musically my current obsession is Judee Sill.
But it always comes back to the music of my childhood- The Cocteau Twins, The Waterboys, ABBA, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush.
