The plight of the refugee is as old as history and continues to be unresolved..................

The Refugee

Ignorance Is Bliss

Singer out of tune

this is a song about not listening to everything you hear, or hearing everyone you listen too

Whispers In The Wind

This is a newbie, I'm playing my epiphone Dove on this one, but a lot of the guitar parts originally started out on my Yamaha classical. I'm writing a lot of music on the classical at the min, but lyrics generally come when I change to a steel string, mostly the Dove these days. 

take it easy folks, thanks for stopping by!

Lyrics

When I let you stay the night
boy I don't appreciate the morning call
gonna turn your foghorn right down
just so as I don't have to hear it anymore

keep playing your indie pop
like it is 1994
or take a leaf right outta my book
and nail it onto your door

I don't understand why your tiny cloth ears
they don't listen
yeah you'd rather tune in to some
pastiche cheap country honk musician

keep playing your indie pop
like it is 1994
or take a leaf right outa' my book
and nail it onto your door

I don't understand why for me 
your crying eyes do not see
and I can't quite comprehend
why it is that you picked her over me

keep playing your indie pop
like it is 1994
or take a leaf right outa' my book
and nail it onto your door

it's getting harder now
than it ever was before
that little voice inside of your head
is screaming out
and he'll shout 

forevermore
forevermore
forevermore 
forevermore
forevermore........ and maybe some more


thanks for listening, and inspiring, always greatly appreciated. 

recorded at home on my Tascam 8 track.

One Day in May (for Uvalde)
Music, lyrics, guitar and vocals by Annie Ray

I have no words
nothing at all
even the strum and the hum
won't help anymore
I have no words
nothing at all
nothing at all

does it matter
what I've done before
when the strum and the hum
don't help anymore
I have no words
nothing at all
nothing at all

maybe a song will set us free
maybe we'll find us in the melody
until then, I'll rest my pen
for I have no words
nothing at all
nothing at all
nothing at all

Lyrics
As you walk to the window there’s people passing by
wonder if they’re feeling what your feeling deep inside
There’s something missing I feel like you should know
I had a good friend tell me,  many years ago

You got to move to know what it’s all about
It’s just a matter of time before it all works out.

just a matter of time before it comes your way
not always easy when, just another crowded day
Things start to happen It all falls into place
Now you're on your path to living your life filled with grace.

It’s just a matter of time before it all works out.
It’s just a matter of time feels like a dopamine rush

Dopamine Rush

This song is about the experience of a young confederate soldier thinking that he might be writing his last letter home before moving on to the front line at Gettysburg. He hopes to return home soon but then finds he is moving on again to the higher realm. He becomes a ghost of Gettysburg. It is important to remember that in all battles and wars that there are invariably two sides, both having someone's sons and daughters.

One thousand miles from Texas

PeaceLoveAndHarmony

Like a change in the weather
There’s a storm on the rise
All around the world now
In people’s hearts and minds

When we all get together you know it’s true
There ain’t nothing we can’t do
For me, for you and the whole world too

You know if doesn’t have to be
A world of rich and poor
Somewhere in the middle now
Is the key to evermore

This world could be a paradise
If we all could learn to play nice
It’s time to start making up
Stop trying to blow each other up

Then you know there will be
Peace, love and harmony
For me, for you and the whole world too
The whole world too
Ah come on now

Solo

I know it sounds a bit naive 
But think of it like this
If something isn’t done soon
Well we’ll all be in a fix

So come on lets talk it over
Find some common ground
Make this world a better place
Spread the love around, all around the town
Then you know there will be
Peace, love and harmony
For me, for you and the whole world too
For me, for you and the whole world too
The whole world too
The whole world too
Yea

Where ever we go who ever we meet from our home town to around the world we all smile in the same language. 
It only means one thing and cuts through any greed and culture.
We all suffer in some shape or form but a smile can change a million things.
So smile it’s a language we all know.  😊

The Same Language ~ Conscience of Kings

Waiting For The Sun (New Mix)

Speak For Love (Brian Peters)

Little Lady stepped out into the world
Little Lady was still mama’s little girl
One baby later, she was still twenty-five
Her marriage on the rocks but she was glad to be alive

And love is blinded in innocence
And love is calling out for defence

	Who’ll sing a song for the lonely ones
	Your darling daughters and your wayward sons
	Under the hand of the iron glove
	And who will speak for love

Little Man went walking in his daddy’s boots
Little Man was just following his roots
Wild dreams and schemes on the stock exchanges
Wild oats and loneliness among total strangers

And love is crying out to be heard
And love is holding out the living word

	Who’ll sing a song for the lonely ones
	Your darling daughters and your wayward sons
	Under the hand of the iron glove
	And who will speak for love

**Some talk about the third world debt
Some talk about a nuclear threat
Some talk about inner city crime
Some talk about intelligent design
Some talk about corporate greed
Some talk about terminator seeds
Some talk about the ascetic life
Some talk about simeon stylites**

And love is knocking at the door
And love is undergirding every law

	Who’ll sing a song for the lonely ones
	Your darling daughters and your wayward sons
	Under the hand of the iron glove
	And who will speak for love

**Some talk about global warming
Some talk about turbine farming
Some talk about genetic cloning
Some talk about the lunar landings
Some talk about ghetto thugs
Some talk about the superbug
Some talk about democracy
Some talk about conspiracy

Some talk about the world trade towers
Some talk about a one world power
Some talk about save the whales
Some talk about fairytales
Some talk about visual highlights
Some talk about navigation satellites**
…(to fade)

Speak For Love

New track, part inspired by the brilliant and somewhat bizarre book "One Moonlit Night" by Caradog Pritchard, which I've recently read and thoroughly enjoyed. Recorded at home on my 8 track.

lyrics

please catch the ether as she blows from tree to tree

the drive in movies sleeper then theres the darkest sea

sometimes I wonder what the hell it is that is wrong with me

flourecent sunbeams crash end, burning me so bright

her kicks of yells and screams drip like stalagmite

sometimes my little dreams they bleed into the night

potion drift serene float stinging me so sweet

tendrils clinging slumber delete memory

sometimes my little girl she plays tricks on me

try empathy 30 day free trial ends tonight

nine alter egos but which one of them am I

sometimes my little dreams they bleed into the night

into the night bleed into the night sometimes my little dreams they bleed into the night

don't follow me around like a little child
unless you're itching for a fight

bread and butter upon a moonlit night
and everything is gonna be alright

bathe back fall slip step in an hour of dreams

quick look out there they are hiding between the trees

sometimes I wonder what the hell it is that is wrong with me

once when I painted ocean neath the moonlight sky

assunder phetemine part live in me part die

sometimes my little dreams they bleed into the night

into the night  bleed into the night

sometimes my little dreams they bleed into the night


thanks for listening, as always greatly appreciated, take care folks

Bleed Into The Night

4 Star Commended Entry in the 2022 UK Songwriting Contest

The damage we keep doing to planet Earth in the name of progress needs to be addressed right now. Hopefully, for the sake of future generations, we haven't reached the point of no return quite yet. But we must be very close.

Planet Earth is suffering, it's health is getting poor,
Millions of people here, are shouting out for more,
We are generating waste and the globe is warming fast,
Everybody's asking now, how long can this all last,

We've got to act right now, to change the world somehow,
While we've still got the time, to put an end to its decline,

Planet Earth is suffering, it's health is getting worse,
The ordinary people here are crying for their Earth,
Governments of nations seem to turn a deaf ear,
Can't they hear the message of despair and real fear,

We've got to act right now, to change the world somehow,
While we've still got the time, to put an end to its decline,

Planet Earth is suffering and running out of time,
Its wounds, they keep on bleeding, with the fossil fuels we mine,
The younger generation are working hard to make us hear,
There's no time for hesitation when our children's views are clear,

We've got to act right now, to change the world somehow,
While we've still got the time, to put an end to its decline,

Planet Earth is suffering, it's health is getting poor,
Millions of people here, are shouting out for more,
We are generating waste and the globe is warming fast,
Everybody's asking now, how long can this all last,

Planet Earth

Forget the spring showers; summer's on the way. (Track newly remastered.)

Summer in the sun, everybody's having fun,
Summer in the sun, it's great for everyone,

Summer In The Sun

First of all thanks for dropping in on my page.
I sing, write songs and play rhythm guitar. I'm trying to learn a bit of bass. People tell me I've got a reasonable voice and I have a liking for melody. As I make my way with multi-track home recording, I'm hoping the the end result will be greater than the sum of the parts!
So again, thanks for dropping by. Hopefully you will take a listen to some of my songs and if you like what you hear, it would be great if you could leave a comment.
