The second track of my From the Studio Collection, Tell Me Why tells the tale of an abrupt end to a long-term relationship, capturing the emotions that linger around the unanswerable question of "why."

Composition and lyrics by Elliana Stocks.

Thank you Zak Cohen, Lance Lapointe, Taylor Allum, and Alasdair Money for helping me transform "Tell Me Why", a 3am GarageBand project, into the polished recording featured on SoundCloud. Recorded at The Woodshop Recording Studio, Duncan, BC.

                              

Tell Me Why

Sean Nerney:  Strings & Synths
Ben Juul:  Drums, Mix & Master at Tone Hill Studios, NY
Dirk Taubenheim:  Guitars, Bass, Vocals at Vestervang, DK

This is a true story about a beautiful lady from the north. A million thanks to Sean for his magical strings and synths and to my friend and band mate Ben who worked very hard on this song.

Beautiful Helen from the north    you brightened up my dark phase like a torch, scared to ask you but I did      and I was happy like a kid.

You accepted my enquiry      a collaboration of you and me,
such an unexpected pleasure,      what a musical treasure!

I' d never heard a song of you before   when I saw your poster on a wooden door, your beautiful face just caught my eyes   -   I got kind of hypnotised.

You are also on SC      like many others and like me,
your music is stunning,      your voice is so enchanting.

Then I saw your video      of a song that' s called Ayo,
such a beauty, such a grace      in your lovely smiling face.

Oh Helen,      tears are wellin'      because of happiness      that' s how it is
I don' t wanna stress you  -  or possess you - it' s just about a song - why should that be wrong?

It took you ten months to drop a line      writing "sorry, I' ve got no time,
there are so many other things      and every minute my mobile rings".


1/2 VERSE   instr.

Beautiful Helen from the north      you brightened up my dark phase like a torch  and whatever you choose to do      I' ll be waiting for you.

LYRICS

Living times
Lifetime's gone,
Crisp at dawn
Mellowed by the sun.

Golden horizon, all at stake,
People arrive at the fray.

No one knows the roots of our past.
No one shows, we've given our best.

Times have come
Times have gone,
Past tense
Is the chosen form.

Till the plain, caught up surrounding 
Our heart, our soul, our own.

No one knows the roots of our past.
It goes to show it's gone too fast.

Shear moonlight through my window.
Riding sideline, drawn-out timeline.
Taste so quaint, virtuoso.
Hello blueprint: unchecked, untried.

See the way
Script what may,
Humbled by the song
Promises go on.

What is this, hold on exist,
Gotta love our land, our smile, our pain.

No one knows the roots of our past.
No one grows enliven the guest.
It goes to show it's gone too fast.
No one knows the roots of our past.

The Roots of Our Past

A track I created about 8 months ago. I had it posted but then removed it for more editing. Figured it was time to let it see some light...all vocals music and production done by this guy....enjoy...

When you find yourself
When you find yourself sitting alone
When you find yourself
When you find yourself sitting alone
When you tell yourself 
When you tell yourself it'll be okay
When you tell yourself 
When you tell yourself it'll be okay

And you know
And you know

When you find yourself
When you find yourself sitting alone
When you tell yourself 
When you tell yourself it'll be okay

And you know
And you know

And You Know

hey there mother
I can hear you
though I'm far, far away

hey big sister
now I miss ya
wasn't supposed to go this way

the river
gives and takes
like my father
I was born to live

under water
you get closer
to the beginning

you can only do 
what you do

Real Good trouble

Massive thanks to Magic Mike Fox  for his musicianship, producing, production and most of all just for being a top bloke.
And Nat Daniels for her massive contribution with her incredible vocals.
I have done many duets with Nat and every time it’s been a pleasure we have created many special moments.
Marry Me In Vegas was part 1 this is part 2 after Vegas with Real Good Trouble. 
Months after the non event of the grand marriage. He missed her after jilting her and not making the flight he felt like he needed to explain he just wasn’t ready for what she wanted. 
He never had the chance as she disappeared, shutdown her socials, changed her number and left.
Months passed without contact and then this phone called happened.

REAL GOOD TROUBLE (After Vegas)

I can’t believe you’re back in the city 
We called called our own
You wouldn’t recognise my number 
When I was calling,  calling on your phone
You said I’m sorry it’s been too long now 
And too many stones thrown 
I changed my number then picked another 
It was a stagecoach to Basingstoke 

Chorus 
So if you wanna get into 
Some real…. real Good trouble 
And leave our past behind
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble….. Every Time! 

(every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time)

2nd Verse
After Vegas I needed to leave 
I should of worn my heart on my sleeve
Every minute of everyday 
I thought of you and what I would say 
I got a job found a place 
And for a while I was the new face.. 
And all the great moments that got us through 
Were never the same without You! 

Chorus 
So if you wanna, get into
Some real…. real good trouble 
And leave our past behind 
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble … Every Time!

Every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time..
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Every time.. Every time!

Real Good Trouble (After Vegas) Fox, Brownie & Daniels

Dear friends, there are lots and lots of orphans in the world - and they are getting more and more!!

Hand in hand
You may see them hand in hand 
in snow storms and when thunder raves
they are the poor kids who came from the mountains
They have been walking for several days
They have not any parents at all
they are brother and sister on their own
they are brother and sister on their own

The brother is four years old
and the sister is nine the next year
They are so dirty and their clothes are torn to pieces
The girl is caring so much 
about her little brother in her hand
they are brother and sister on their own
they are brother and sister on their own

Their old parents were victims of
the nasty virus which hit the world now 
and in a moment they have to find a way out
and they must find friendly folks
but now they are referred to each other
she said brother You should not be afraid
cause I love You so much my little friend

Hand in Hand

LOOK AT ALL THE LIFE TODAY,
IN THIS WORLD, FROM THIS WORLD,
WE CAN ALL LOOK BACK,
SEE WHAT WE, WE HAVE MADE

TAKE YOUR TIME AND SAY,
LOOK AROUND, AND ABOVE,
IT'S ALL HERE TO STAY,
IT'S ALL YOUR'S, IT'S ALL MINE,

(chorus)
SOMEDAY
WE MIGHT DANCE TOGETHER
AND LIVE, IN A LIFE OF LAW
SOMEDAY
THIS COULD LAST FOREVER,
AND LEAVE, THIS WORLD ALONE

SO TAKE A LOOK AHEAD
MAY'BE YOUR, NOT TO SURE,
THE CALL TO STAND THE LINE,
TO SAY GOODBYE, NEVER COMING BACK,

THE HERO IS STILL TO BE,
IN OUR LIVES, TO MAKE US FREE
TAKE MY HAND IN YOURS AND
SAY GOODBYE, TO ALL THE GREED,

(BREAK)
(REPEAT CHORUS)

LOOK AT ALL THE LIFE TODAY,
IN THIS WORLD, FROM THIS WORLD,
WE CAN ALL LOOK BACK,
SEE WHAT SEE WHAT WE, WE HAVE MADE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

SOMEDAY, LEAVE THIS WORLD ALONE.
