Thank you Goff for having boarding us in this adventure. Marvelous, awesome!! 😉🤘

Et moi je dit merci a vous deux de m'avoir permis de faire autre chose que de la reprise , j'ai adoré 😉🫶

Solid track, fantastic energy, well done !!

Fantastic collaboration, love that soaring guitar and great Vox too!

Here's what is hopefully the start of a growing playlist of collabs, that I've been fortunate enough to work on, with some of the incredibly talented artists to be found on Soundcloud! 

Hats off to Mr ManuLaGratte who was my first collaborator, and the chief architect of the Seems Like It - Euro Collab Mix!  (You can find the link to Manu's other work in the track notes ) 

Next up an incredible blues rework of Water To Wine, featuring the incomparable vocals of Mr Todd J McLean, as well as grade A+ mixing and mastering from Kat Hendrix, at Absolute Time Studios, Vancouver, and virtuoso lead guitar from Tim Porter!  The original version of this track is released on Todd's SC page but I've reposted here for extra visibility)

Thirdly it was great fun, and a whole lotta learning, working on the EDM collab, Lost in the Music, with the multi (MULTI) -talented musician, lyricist, vocalist and tech guru, MissHearMeClick!

Collabs

A great collaboration version of the Seems Like It track, with MASSIVE thanks to ManuLaGratte, for guitars, musical arrangement and general Hard Rock consultancy!  Check out Manu's other fantastic work, on his SoundCloud page https://soundcloud.com/manulagratte-mlg/tracks 
HUGE thanks also to Laurent Capel, for lifting the guitar solo work to a whole different level! 
Who says there's no European collaboration after Brexit?? :-)    Thanks Guys!!

Seems Like It - Euro Collab Mix (Feat. ManuLaGratte & Laurent Capel)

This is a repost of a collab with the brilliant Todd J McLean, originally posted on his Soundcloud account, 15 May 2025. Soundcloud.com/todd-j-mclean/water-to-wine?si=2debfe8ca9744b878dfc380a1a8ac430&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)

WATER TO WINE
 
Words & Music: Goff Johnson
Vocals: Todd J McLean
Keyboards & Rhythm Guitar: Goff Johnson
Drums and Hammond Organ: Kat Hendrix
Lead Guitar: Tim Porter
 
Mixed and Mastered by Kat Hendrix at Absolute Time Studios, Vancouver, May 2025
 
About the Song

"Water to Wine" is a song about the appeal of perfection we often see online, contrasted with the seemingly unremarkable and ordinary lives that most of us lead. It’s a reflection on the emotional toll that comes from chasing validation through likes and follower counts— and the emptiness that can follow when the spotlight fades.

Our value, though, goes far deeper than what shows up on a screen and authenticity holds more power than appearances. Take a deep breath and if we look up from the scroll and take a brave look at the world — and each other — we might find something much more real!

Behind the Song (from Goff Johnson)

Ironically, while the message of the track talks about isolation and the cost of surface-level connection, the making of Water to Wine was the exact opposite of that! It came to life through collaboration with the incredibly talented Todd J McLean, who, in addition to his awesome vocals, and red-hot music connections, also created the cover art (Woman in Yellow Chair) for the track! The overall result is something far richer than either of us could have created alone.

Working together brought depth, direction, and new energy to the song — proof that the best things happen when we connect for real. No filters, just music, shared purpose, and mutual trust!

Final Notes (from Todd)

This is my first collaboration on SoundCloud. I could not have been more fortunate than to work with Goff Johnson, an immensely talented singer/songwriter/musician. When I first came across Goff, I listened to his entire Stories of Stardust album end-to-end .

Although Water to Wine is not part of Goff’s Stardust series, it is nonetheless a beautifully written song and it’s been a privilege for me to sing it. Besides, I love to sing the Blues. Thank you so much, Goff!

We owe a huge shout-out to both Kat Hendrix, a master musician and our producer, and Tim Porter, a virtuoso on guitar. It is a real privilege to work with these West coast legends.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Someone wrote a playbook for perfection 
with lives of photo ops, their outtakes seldom seen 
today a star, the next you’re a pariah 
“Be Kind” they say, but that ain’t what they mean 
 
Chorus: 
Well I never watched the water turn to wine, 
and i never took a flower out of the desert, 
but i walked until my feet bled, and I looked until I was blind, 
and I reached out for a hand to hold in mine 
 
Verse 2 
Well there’s nothing quite as quiet as “the silence” 
after fame has passed, so flashbulb fast, away 
and i wonder if it really makes a difference 
cos the next in line wait for their time, to shine but not to stay”

Chorus: 
Well I never watched the water turn to wine, 
and i never took a flower out of the desert, 
but i walked until my feet bled, and I looked until I was blind, 
and I reached out for a hand to hold in mine

This is a repost of a collab track first published on MissHearMeClick's SC page on 29th July 2025.  https://soundcloud.com/misshearmeclick/lost-in-the-music?si=932f52f4d24c4b7a95666387b1de6980&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing We had a great time working on this track, which was the first venture into the EDM genre for both of us! 

As well as being a great collab partner, lyric writer and vocalist, MissHearMeClick is also phenomenally tech and media savvy and nailed all the playlist and radio pitches, as well as video and social media material around the release  - wow I have been very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with such a multi talented artist!!

Thanks must also go to JRL Music who not only mastered the track but very generously (and patiently!) shared his technical experience with us!  I, for one found this a massive and brilliant learning experience ! :-) Joseph - I'll try to give you less pain next time !! 

Lost in the Music

[Verse 1]:
I let the music pull me deep inside,
Had enough of games, it’s time to say goodbye.
My heartbeat flows with the beat and lights.
My soul awakens, I’m dancing through the night.

[Prechorus 1]:
I’m lost inside of a moment now,
Your words feel empty, breaking me down.
I let it slide, I played along,
But now I see where you went wrong.

[Prechorus 2]:
You thought I’d stay, but I’m over it,
And love don’t work when it feels like this.
One day you’ll see, you’ll feel the same,
When someone walks in and plays your game.

[Chorus 1]:
Got lost in the music
Your love was toxic
But now I feel magic, yeah
Got lost in the music
Your love was toxic
The moment was cosmic , oh yeah

[Verse 2]:
I took my time, and now I’m moving on. (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You played your part, I’m better off alone.
(I’m dancing up in a rhythm)

[Prechorus 2]:
You thought I’d stay, but I’m over it,
And love don’t work when it feels like this.
One day you’ll see, you’ll feel the same,
When someone walks in and plays your game.

[Chorus 2]:
(I found my peace) got lost in the music
(Escaped your grip) your love was toxic
(You held me down) but now I feel magic, yeah
(I found my peace) got lost in the music
(Escaped your grip) your love was toxic
(You held me down) but now I feel magic, yeah
(I found my peace) got lost in the music
(I broke away) the moment was cosmic , oh yeah

[Verse 3]:
You can't break me,
I move like fire through the dark.
(Lost in the Music)
Endless paths await,
It’s mine to mold.
(Lost in the Music)

[Prechorus 3]:
You thought I’d stay, but I’m over it,
(I’m lost inside the sound)
And love don’t work when it feels like this.
(I float on every note)
One day you’ll see, you’ll feel the same,
(Drifting through melodies)
When someone walks in and plays your game.
(My soul lives in the song)

[Chorus 3]:
(I found my peace) Got lost in the music
(Escaped your grip) Lost in the music
(You held me down) Lost in the music, 
(I found my peace) yeah 
(I broke away) ooohh 
And finally, I’m me.

It's a good job that I don't have any pride
'Cause we're being taken for a hell of a ride
They take our freedom they may take our homes
Throw me in a well I wouldn't be alone 
I have always got the light
I have always got the light
The sins of us adults do the children harm
Old McDonald's got to sell the farm
Sweet indifference causes cancer too
I've got no time to loose I don't know about you
I have always got the light
I have always got the light
Mercy mercy mercy please have mercy on me 
Sweet Lord have mercy on me
I have always got the light
I have always got the light

Always Got the Light

Hey hey!! Back with something fresh finally.
Really appreciate you listening. Supporting.
All feedback and real love. Always returned.
This is 92 Bpm. Laid back. Uplifting vibes.
Stated with the dope female chop, loop.
Built the  idea, theme, track around it.
Looking for singers. Dm...

Never lonely

©music and lyrics by Hans-Michael Albers

here comes the album's opener, a melody and playback I wrote and produced 6 years ago with no text idea until yesterday when two guys met to drag the whole world into the abyss with their f....g egos while the whole world watches helplessly and prefers to focus on its own little lives. it's not they, it's we who mess it up then. writing lyrics has never been easier for me than in this case. and I didn't waste much time to direct my virtual singer, the AI seemed to understand the topic instantly...

Street life, busy business
Fast food in the air
Driven spirits never rest
Ant-like, here to there

Pigeons flutter up in fright
someone honks their horn
Baby crying, welcome shouts
An impatient groan

Chips to go, a scent of spice
Old man with a cough
Kids are joking, running wild
Never get enough

No more
We’ve fucked it up
Won’t get it back
No more

Dripping ice cream, lovers flirt
Lady shakes her head
Little girl with curly hair
Upset with her dad

Office buildings line the walk
Modern people swarm
Air-conditioned honeycombs
Just a little worn

Groundhog’s day without a Phil
Living on repeat
To ignore what’s taking place
Right beyond our street

No more
We’ve fucked it up
Won’t get it back
No more

No more
We’ve fucked it up
Won’t get it back
No more

No more
We’ve fucked it up
Won’t get it back
No more

No more

When in doubt for studio TBD. Set it to insane on the Line 6 Spider amp head. Yeah❤️‍🔥

Let's go scum! You'll all be gone at some stage soon and we'll write about you and move on! In Ireland we call that dinnseanchas. That's where society learns properly from life with the help of music, poetry and literature and in turn nurturing a conscientious collective! Here's another pea head grain of sand for that collective love we will all find when we stop these evil human beings crushing our behavioral evolution...

Modi/Trump/Putin/Orban/Netenyahu = Fascists!
If you voted for these clowns... You support fascism. Except for Vlad the pussy as Russians have no choice! He murdered Russia's true hope of change.
RIP Alexei Navalny 🤍
You tried hard man and put your life on the line for truth and change and they took it. It won't be in vane. We got your back bro🫡 Love WILL win

I could go on with the list but you get the jist...

If this doesn't make Buzzing Metal! I give up trying haha 😆🫡❤️‍🔥


This is song is dedicated to our incredible pet Chameleon Fender who passed away a few years ago. Love you Fender 🫡💚 He's got our backs spirit style

It's a myth that Chameloens change colour to match an environment. They evolve similar colours to blend into an environment yes, but don't change their colour to reflect changing colour in an environment. All the YT videos are BS!
I think 🧂😆 Wheres Sir Attenborough ... I'm sure he could tell us...

As for the supposed 'leaders' this song pokes... The only thing they lead is their own ego... They speak whatever lie the relative ears listening need to hear to cling to power. DT is a devout Christian apparently when he needs to be. In reality he's not at all and just appears to be for the shallow minded religious people he convinced to vote for him... Same goes for white supremacists. He grabs that vote by speaking to them regularly with xeonphobic suggestions and now the actions of ICE doing his bidding. This is further confirmation bias for those old mindsets still so prevalent in America. Scum!

*** 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 !!
