Porcelain

My first venture into AI generated music! A reflective piano rework of my Seems Like it track, which will be part of an upcoming AI / AI hybrid album collection.   
The AI has used some very different phrasing of the verses compared to the original, but I think it really works!
Hope you enjoy!

Miles Away (Seems Like It Piano Reprise Mix)

Hundreds Of Miles [remastered]

This is a song for anyone who has ever put their heart and soul into something and lost it all.     
                                                                                                                 
The video is here.

Make the World Go Away

Wrote this one a long time ago and have been waiting to do it with a new acoustic guitar.  Finally got one for my birthday from my family and I'd like to dedicate this one to them.  Because of them, I am far from lonely, and to my wife, you are my everything, thank you!

Lonely People

Verse 1
I don’t know much, not much of anything at all
I know myself and I know what I see
All by myself, drinking coffee in the rain
In part to wake up, in part to wash away the pain
Every week I sit here, sorting out my thoughts
Watching people, watching me, wondering if they’re living or just letting the days pass by

Chorus
Look at all the lonely people, look at all the empty eyes
Look at all the lonely people, just passing by.

Verse 2
She irons her dress, brushes her hair but she still feels like a mess
She dries her tears and makes a wish, it’s the same wish every day
Daydreaming through work, coasting through everything she does
Waiting for something or someone to take her away

Chorus
She’s one of the lonely people, she’s swimming in empty eyes
In a world full of lonely people, she’s getting by

Verse 3
He’s spending his time, dancing with her in his mind
Holding her hand, he’s contemplating her name, what’s her name
He sees her in the café every night, the same seat, the same time, the same salad and wine
All he has to do is knock on the glass, but he just walks past.

Chorus
He’s one of the lonely people, he’s lost in empty eyes
In a world full of lonely people, he’s getting by

Instrumental Bridge

Verse 4
She finished her wine, as red as her lips, she drops a tip and waves good-bye
Picks up her worn-out copy of On the Road, and heads for the door
She loves the rain; he gives up on the newspaper and lets the water have its way
He can’t help but smile and feel like something’s about to change.
He turns, she turns, she smiles, and he says hi, she looks down instantly and walks on by
He stops himself and takes a deep breath, and asks for her name

Chorus
Just a couple of lonely people, found something in empty eyes
In a world full of lonely people, are you getting by, don’t just get by

Lonely People

When you meet the one, even if you are from different corners of the world.

Long Way From Home

A world of possibilities and new life open up from love. In a style of a progressive rock ballad with pop elements.

COLLABORATION WELCOME!!  
Hey there! Thanks for dropping in to my (definitely) still learning page of sketches and ideas!! I write and play all parts on the tracks, except the drums, and the ambient collab work I did with Tim Myers. 

My preferred DAW is Logic Pro, though i also have Bandlab to make it easier for collab opportunities. 

Most of these songs, except the ambient collab work, are pretty much an outline of how a piece might sound,  and I'd be happy to talk about licensing for others to take these further. I'm working, though, to learn more about recording and  exploring different styles and hopefully this is reflected a little in the stuff I've posted here! :-)  

I'm also keen to collaborate with other artists.  I could polish the musicianship and the production a little more myself on most of these tracks but they'd all be improved with better musicians and ESPECIALLY with strong vocals (which I definitely don't have! :-))  

So gimme a shout if you think we could work together!

cheers!
