I liked the guitar and then the vocals came in and that was good too. Nice track and very understated. Nicely done for sure.

I like the way you play. Really quality voice too - well done !

PROGRAM NOTE
There is a seemingly endless supply of poems about summer. After writing Winter Songs for bass-baritone and chamber ensemble or piano, I realized that I had inadvertently only set poems by male poets, so I decided to restrict myself to female poets for this cycle. I am well-aware that this could emphasize a potential cliché: woman can be viewed as more "summery" and men more "wintery,” but more than anything, this is merely a way to offer a course correction, so to speak, or even a yin and yang, as well as a way to create a balance between these two works.

Summer Songs begins with a setting of Summer Music by May Sarton, a light, happy, playfully musical poem filled with allusions to nature. The second movement is a setting of The Kite by Anne Sexton, a poem about honoring and enjoying the moment, and the simple things in life such as flying kites with children. Childhood, the third movement, is a setting of a poem by Sharan Strange about children capturing fireflies. The fourth movement, Moths, is a setting of a poem by Jennifer O’Grady about moths, but relating to late night conversation on a front porch. The cycle ends with a setting of Summer Night, Riverside, by Sara Teasdale, a passionate, warm, optimistic poem that muses on the timelessness of summer.

Summer Songs was commissioned by The ASCAP Foundation via the Charles Kingsford Fund, for Marnie Breckenridge and the American Modern Ensemble. Special thanks to Marnie Breckenridge for her assistance in selecting the poems for this cycle.

Old track of mine circa 2012 with a facelift; desert riff with vocals and my first ever backing vocal track - which I took a lot of pleasure putting together. Honest feedback more than welcome, it's all a learning curve!

*Remastered 19/02/2020.

Help support me and my music by getting this song on BandCamp - check the link on the song or my profile! 

This is a very satisfying song to finish. I've had the first 30 seconds of this song as an unfinished project for more than a few years. I found the inspiration to finish it over the holiday break. 

I re-recorded the intro, wrote the remaining guitar, bass, drums, and the vocals between 6:00 PM and 5:00 AM on January 1st/2nd. I didn't sleep much! 

Are you interested in tabs? Send me a PM. If enough people would be, I’ll make some and put them available for download somehow as well. They will be GuitarPro format and PDF. 

This song is doing well and I’m so stoked. Much love to all of you for listening, thanks so much! 

Lyrics:

There's no doubt about where home is now
Following the rhine of your wrist as you seek out your bliss but for now it's about how...

How you feel, how you think...
How you tried to keep it buried deep...
But you're out of time, you're out of luck -
You tried all you could but no one's giving a fuck.

Skip your first stone and count the ripples
What changes you cascaded with all the waves you created
Skip your first stone and count the ripples
What changes have cascaded from all the waves you created

There's no doubt, you're here now. (You are where you're left...)
...Without consideration to the proper attire for such a dire situation.
 
Now? The stones are heavier now. You keep on throwing them out - 
Hoping it'll sortin' things out.
It's not that easy, you see. And what's been obvious to me - 
The stones you're digging out are memories you're trying to drown.

Skip your first stone and count the ripples
What changes you cascaded with all the waves you created
Skip your first stone and count the ripples
What changes have cascaded from all the waves you created

Your drowning stones...
Your drowning stones...

Skip your first stone and count the ripples
What changes you cascaded with all the waves you created
Skip your first stone and count the ripples
What changes have cascaded from all the waves you created

Skip your last stone, your drowning stone...

Peace y'all. Excited to share Arrivals, my very first EP. Six tracks. An homage to six places and the people from them that have been a part of my life journey so far, shaping who I am as an artist and person. I sincerely hope y'all enjoy.

I am a mechanical engineer up in Aberdeen, Scotland. Father of two; very late night musician, developing producer, and a once upon a time techno DJ! Lots of songs in my head, many from over 10 years ago now which I will be uploading to Soundcloud over time to come. Looking to meet like minded people on Soundcloud and share the music, maybe even collaborate. My ethos is that if a new song makes even one other person's day then by sharing it it's a job well done. :)
