What probably happens to everyone from time to time, this is a song about being stuck in a rut and wishing for something more.

Chilled

Is this for real? Is it Mr Trump and Adolf over there in the audience? Who are the people up there on the stage? Is it all in your head or a ironic global fantasy? Is the Donald for real?

All I see is you
All I feel is your love
I'm only breathing you

Like air
The way I know you
Like air
The way I need you
Like air
How I feel you
Like air
The way I breathe you in
Like air
You know it's always you

I'm only seeing your eyes
Can't look away
I'm only feeling your heart
Just breathing you


Like air
The way I know I know you
Like air
The way I need you
Like air
How I feel you
Like air
The way I breathe you in
Like air
You know it's always you
Like air

Sweet Reverie

Sweet Reverie by Shirley Ly | Violin and Piano Duet

It's time I pulled out the Fender Stratocaster & get some really punching rock music out. As usual, I had to add a few keyboards to spice the tune up, so in went some rock piano & Hammond B3 organ. But predominantly this is about the guitar. The Strat is pumped through my Mesa Boogie amp & dirtied up enough to give it the energy rock music needs. Hope you like it?

After years of playing the piano, I was on a family bushwalk with a nature guide. When we had tea around the fire, he pulled out his acoustic guitar & we sang songs. That was the final push to get me to learn the six stringed instrument as well, because it was so portable & could be used anywhere with a minimum of fuss. That was a quite a few years ago now, but it has given me another medium to compose on. This tune "Natur" is born out of the noodling I do out on the verandah of my house, then I added all the strings & Rhodes electric piano afterwards, to ramp up the emotion.

Natur

Music/Arrangement/Production/Vocals/Lyrics by Achazia

I have tried to many times I can't count all my attempts
I have failed,  but it's never to bad that I can't try again.

I get burned, like I am searching for it.
I get hurt, I keep holding on to it.

You have no clue, you don't know what I feel; I dont wanna tell.
You think I am cool, with everything we've been through, we're just like friends.


and this is Why.
I fall into danger with you.
My heart.
causing selfinflicted pain.
But i am the only one to blame.


I will find you.
I then I will keep you.
Of all time.
All the time..

You will not know.
That I love you.
not in this time
this time.

You're soulful.
I never felt like this before.
You're wonderful.
I don't wanna rise and fall anymore.

and this is Why.
I fall into silence with you.
My heart.
tells me many things I cannot say.
I dont want to have it in another way

I will find you.
I then I will keep you.
Of all time.
All the time.

You will not know.
That I love you.
not in this time
this time..

It's my secret
Finders keepers
It's time
Yeah. Time


You will not know.
That I love you.
not in this time
this time..

Finders keepers

Funk / Rock is a favourite genre of mine, so it was especially pleasing to invite my guitarist friend from Italy Daniele Turani to do the lead & rhythm guitar on this powerful instrumental. I also love vintage keyboards, so this one features Rhodes Electric Piano, Hammond B3 Organ & Hohner Clavinet. The drums & bass provide a heavy, rumbling track to build everything onto. Thanks to Daniele for his fantastic contribution. Check out his Soundcloud page for other great instrumental work.
