In recent years, I've had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with some of the amazing artists I've met here on Soundcloud, who have also become very good friends of mine. This list is some of the creations we made together.

Have a good time in the world of music. ;)

What absolute joy I have been able to experience in recent weeks by working together with these three eminent musicians, composers and producers.
Dan-DT, Ed Cunningham and David Dunham. It's the first time all four of us have collaborated and the result is "The Quietude".
I am very honored, and filled with joy!
So a very warm thank you gentlemen for your generosity and friendship. ;)

Since the theme of this song is the "inner stillness" we all need sometimes, there is also a video for this song on my youtube channel. Please watch it as it adds another dimension to these gentlemen's eminent musical abilities. ;)

Many thanks Dan for the very beautiful and appropriate track image you created!

We wish you all a moment of "inner stillness". ;)

The Quietude - Dan DT, Ed Cunningham, David Dunham, Seagull

Found an old acapella with Madame Snowflake in my folder, which means as much today as when it was written, and I thought it was time to try to give it a nice setting.
When the foundation was ready, I sent it to David Dunham and asked if he could possibly help with some of his beautiful finger-style playing. And being the gentleman that he is, he immediately plunged into the mysterious room of creation.
A couple of days later I got a couple of lovely tracks with two guitar parts. 
And now you too can share this little journey with us.

We wish you a pleasant journey. ;)

I humbly thank you David for your invaluable help and cooperation in this sweet journey. ;)

Miracles

There is too much talking
And there is nothing left to say
They say faith can move mountains
On my knees I start to pray

Too close for comfort
And too blind to see
It’s black and white, there’s no color
Something coming over me

Heard a voice calling out my name
Time to change we can’t remain the same

It’s a road less traveled
On a path to better times
All that glitters isn’t gold
Gotta read between the lines

Used to getting what we want
Still don’t realize what we need
We keep burning the midnight oil
Just to satisfy our greed

Heard a voice calling out my name
Time to change we can’t remain the same

The weight is getting heavy
Nothing ever stays the same
Evolution is the cross we bare
And the price we have to pay

When we stop our sleeping
When we finally wake
We’ll be turning water into wine
Nothing standing in our way

Heard a voice calling out my name
Time to change, we can’t remain the same
Miracles happen every day
What was impossible fades away

When we stop our sleeping
When we finally wake
We’ll be turning water into wine
Nothing standing in our way

Nothing Stand In Our Way -  M Snowflake - David D - Seagull

With my good friend Dan-DT, who is a master of his musical genre, and his help with his fantastic strings, choirs, piano and not least Clara's beautiful voice to lift this little observation of fairies in the first light of the morning into something that became magical . ;)

Try to feel, experience and see this in front of you.....
When you went out into the morning light in the forest you love to walk in to find serenity, stillness and quietude, you suddenly heard quiet music, and after a few more steps, you saw them dancing and singing there in a clearing in the shimmering morning light. 
The fairies. ;)

To sit down in the soft moss and experience the joy and love they gave you with their music, dance and song, above all the beauty we are surrounded by in our world, and to bring their world into your mind, was an otherworldly experience. And a very strong realization that our earth is the only home we have, and it is our children's future. ;)

My warmest thanks to you Dan, for your friendship, and your magical musicality. You are very much appreciated in my world my friend!

Fairies Morning Light - Dan-DT & Seagull

This song is called Stairway, and I realized that in my mind it reflects everyone's climb in life. We are encouraged and taught from birth that we must constantly get better at everything.
Better upbringing, Better behavior, Better education, Better job, Better pay, Better things, Better health, Better parent, Better home, Better car and so on.........in our endless climbing in the stairway of life, where unfortunately far too many go straight into the wall, and life comes to a screeching halt.
But what is the real goal of all this striving?

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with education hopefully producing better and more understanding and empathetic people, and a safer and nicer society. But.....and I think it's a big but.... as we are obviously being trained to buy..... all the happiness we need in life........ instead of experiencing it in a peaceful, healthy and experiential life........and at the same time we fill the pockets of a few, with what has unfortunately been given the main role as happiness......money and power...........Hmmmm.  ;)

David Dunham, with his great skill and absolutely brilliant acoustic guitar playing, has given me his much-appreciated participation in this little journey into the world of contemplation.
It is also David's final mix and mastering of the song after his recording of the guitars you hear. When I heard his mix I realized that there was nothing I could add to a very excellent work. ;)
So a big warm thank you my friend!

We wish you all a few peaceful minutes. ;)

Ticking

Ticking down the time.
Nowhere at the speed of light,
Nothing in my mind.
A dream of futures past.
Precious in my heart,
But it never came to pass.
Rearranged all my drawers of memory's worn out socks,
Corrected all my broken lifetime's kitchen clocks.
Just ticking down the time.

Ticking down the time.
Backwards at the speed of life,
Burdened in my mind.
Who stole it all away?
The clarity of thought
That defined me yesterday.
Dusted all the volumes on my memory's shelf,
Time-lapsed photographic of my former self.
Just ticking down the time.

Tomorrow calls in shades of black,
I swear these walls are staring back,
We waltz our falls in spiral mime,
Just ticking down the time.

Ticking down the time.
Lights out on the road ahead,
Fog came down behind.
Ready to anoint
The corpse of a life history
Shrivelled to a point.
JPEG'd out the detail of the smiling years,
Algorithmically compressed into this room of tears,
Where I'm just ticking down the time.

Ticking - Peter, Dan-DT & Seagull

Some undressed songs off the tape machine..........cheers for having a listen


chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new

hide seek night and day, you see me and look away
grey is raining, deep is blue
but then again, its nothing new

up down white or black, getting healthy heart attack
ink the skin, another bad tattoo

right wrong in or out, get ignored talked about
subscribe or follow, discard or use
but then again, its nothing new
it's nothing new

eyes see colorblind, lock the door, free the mind
paid on time, or overdue

chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new
it's nothing new

It's Nothing New

Listen boy now to your elders
And you won't play the fool
Listen to their wisdom
And wear it like a jewel
A glittering jewel
The golden path of progress
Is sometimes much ado
Oh turn around, look backwards

And now this is me, I am he
And the time has come

Listen boy now did you think that
This was all new?
Nothing comes from nothing
Or appears out of the blue
The beautiful blue

And now mark the time, free the mind
And dig for the truth
Don't forget, no regret
They will forgive our youth

Listen boy now, there's a strange man
In the mirror
If you look close boy, the face
Is getting clearer
Now what do you fear?
And what do you hear?

I am you, that much is true
And the years have run
Break the chains, strengthen what remains
Yes the time has come

Listen boy now to your elders
And you won't play the fool

Listen Boy Now

"Looking back it's now so clear
How the road beneath my restless feet
Had a reason it brought me here
Often obscure and bittersweet"

A very good friend gave me this wonderful song as a gift, with a lyric that bites hard in the heart. Thank you very much my dear friend. And as you hear, I couldn't help but let my own thoughts and feelings make some additions. ;)

In a world that rumbles, shakes and spins ever faster, there are unfortunately many fine people who lose their footing, and fall into the darkness created by various mental illnesses.
Give them a thought and an honest smile. Because an honest smile can do wonders for whoever meets it. And best of all, it only takes a few seconds of your day and is completely free, doesn't cost you a penny. ;)

Glide Path

Breaking of the snow
Turns my head, to face the west
Where memories play for show
They never rest.
Eyes are clouding down
The more I hide, the less I smile
Saddest clown
For miles and miles.

Portrait of my face
Staring back, from times long past
The blackest space
Where my shadow’s cast.
Conversation stalls
Me and I, in fractured sense,
Childhood’s pall
On emotion’s fence

And where from here?
And when to there?
And what of fear?
And who should care?
And why the tears?
And whose despair?
And how to see,
What once was me?

Water kissing salt
Cry of pain, dissolves my mind
It’s all my fault
Crevasses of the conscious kind
Sharpest form of dark
Biting hard, my ego’s lip
Laser stark
As focus slips

Glide Path - Peter & Seagull

New song recorded tonight.

Last night I opened up the window
as streetlight stood in for the moon
across your skin a summer breeze was filtered through the trees
announced by flickered candlelight

and I wondered is this you and me asleep in childhood dreams
or just another night
are we a wishful vision cried into a pillow
after a long and bitter fight

well its a high price paid just to be here
two poor tired souls... in a golden moment

tonight I open up the window
as moonlight calls out for our dreams
across the sky I hear a voice from somewhere far away
hello and thank you for the day

and I wondered is this you and me asleep in childhood dreams
or just another night
are we a wishful vision cried into a pillow
after a long and bitter fight

well its a high price paid just to be here
two poor tired souls... in a golden moment

Golden Moment
