Newly remastered Darkness
You're such a goody two shoes - don't smoke you don't drink booze - sometimes i wonder - how i hooked up with you - you never let your hair down - hardly ever come around - is it that you think your just too good for me.
I'm starting to think can't handle the pressure got a My Little Pony on your dresser for Christ's sake - still believe in elves and Santa Claus - wonder what's really in those dresser drawers -  every time i walk in i have to pause waiting for the moment you take out your claws I'll never believe your really this nice - accepted a man that's cold as ice.
I can see your bright eyes shining through my window i can see your kindness your tranquility - I'm thrown off by your good deeds you'll never suit my needs i just need some darkness you're way too bright for me
Your so conceited when you show the goodness in you and every time i falter you throw it in my face - I'm such a disappointment yet you still come back for more - in spite of all your sweetness your really a disgrace - 
I'm starting to think that i should run this relationship just isn't fun for me no more - still believe in hugs and holding hands you're so blind that's not who i am - may have been back then who i was - used to hit you up all the time just because but that type of shit's all in the past - you can shove your righteousness up your ass
I can see your bright eyes shining through my window i can see your kindness your tranquility - I'm thrown off by your good deeds you'll never suit my needs i just need some darkness you're way too bright for me
I'm starting to think the roof's caving in  I used to believe I was one with the one who made me sin - truth is i really don't care could really give a shit if you're elsewhere darkness has a hold on me open up my arms and welcome him in even if I'm damned for eternity - i don't give a fuck you're too bright for me 
Chorus

20 years in the making

Title: "Trying To Keep You"

I could tell my babe
by the look that was in your eyes
the cold distant heart
that kind of vibe

ooooh oooh

We’ll cherish those days
and those nights
girl, It’s OK
I’ll be alright

I want you to be happy
in your heart

ooooh I need you

ooooh I need you

I just cant take another dayyyy….wihtout you

The bird has flown away today

I will always hold dear
to my heart
your beauty, your soul
your inner light

Like a shooting star
in the night
all I need to know girl is why?

you say you need to find out who you are…
well let me tell you…
you’re the soulmate of my dreams

I love you
look at me!
How could you do this to me
I love you
my girl

Trying to Keep You (Piano Day 2024)

I made this song for my great one of a kind daughter. 

This so she can move forward from her deep toughts and getting stuck in a relation that will not lead to anything more but trouble. 

Love you my awsome Amanda you are the best <3

The break

It's cool... they do Robot stuff like drink n smoke cigars n shoot tommy guns...

My Robot Joined A Gang

Simple and old fashioned singer / songwriter piece, first penned when I was a fresh faced 18 year old! Re-released in 2024 and remixed and mastered Oct 2025 by Gyp Buggane at Ballagroove Studios, Isle of Mann

Slight Country flavour in this version but originally influenced by The Velvet Underground's "Lisa Says" and "Sweet Jane" :-)

I was considering the maniacal monkey minions from the Wizard of Oz, plus King Louis from The Jungle Book. This inspired a new satirical song. Of course! So here is a new brew from the distillers at Vintage Bamboozle! Enjoy the brew, but avoid all feudal lords. None are any smarter than you dumbest distant relatives. And I'm not really referring to beloved non-human primates. Preserve your democratic republic while you can.

Monkey Kingdom Come

I very much liked this version of Cyrano with wonderfull music such as this one! I could not help it making an arrangement of it.
But it's a question if it's works for you without text and voice......

Where ever I fall (from Cyrano, arr/perf. Ad van Nederpelt)

If U failed me on ur watch
fell asleep or talked too much
would U be my Jonah, or my Judas?
and should I cut the turnin meat...
pray the fire's more discreet
and I cannot bear the pall
to feel the sting of ur withdrawal
as U stab and slice to separate
meat from bone, body from state
yea
a state of separation with no hope for reparations
like a government treaty
powder milk to keep us needy
kill the herds...and call us beasties
yea
If U fail me on ur watch
fall asleep or talk too much
U will be my Jonah, my Judas
though I truly did not know
that I would ever see U go
but U will live to carry on...tho not the Jonah or the Judas...
to whom I refer
and my heart is badly wounded
my will is limping in
for I cut that turning meat
gave to Fire...that rancid treat
and I cannot bear the pall
cause the side effects of that withdrawal
removed all hope of reparations
and I'm left in a state of separation

Call Us Beasties

*** WATCH OUT FOR NEW SOUNDTRACK RELEASE, SELENE, OUT 31st  OCTOBER!!***

What a great place Soundcloud is !  I can honestly say I never imagined there were so many talented and generous artists, composers and producers,  to be found in one place!  It's been my very great pleasure to meet and collaborate with some of you, already, out there in the WWW,  and I hope many more in the future! 

I've written and recorded music since I was a teenager  (... that's a long time ago!!) and about half the tracks posted here are purely my own work. I also experimented, for a while,  with A.I. supported music, which I used to help build up a Sci Fi "concept album" (for those that remember them!) titled "Stories of Stardust", released 26th Feb 2025.  

A.I music can be a divisive topic, but I've no wish to use it as a replacement for human musical talent, and going forward I'm back to  working  with real people again. That's where the magic is to be found!  Which brings me to....

Collab is ALWAYS welcome!!  In fact it's my favourite way to work - check out my Collabs playlist for some recent examples!  Really enjoyed working with these talented artists!!   

For me the collab journey is only just starting so please (please)  gimme a shout if you think we could work together in the future! 

cheers, and keep the music playing !!
