LOOK DEEPER INSIDE

I don’t want no pain today
All I can do is sit and pray
Hope these blues will go away
Forget about the things you do
And the words you say

Always been there, you know it’s true
Did the things a friend should do
Always on your side, I defended you
No matter what they said I believed in you

You’re so cold and ungrateful
Disrespect me like a fool
You think that you’re untouchable
Have you lost your heart and soul

Always been there, you know it’s true
Did the things a friend should do
Always on your side, I defended you
No matter what they said I believed in you

Look a little deeper,
Deeper inside
Share your secrets
Please don’t hide

Don’t play Dr Jekyll
And Mr. Hyde with me

Look a little deeper,
Deeper inside
Share your secrets,
Please don’t hide

Don’t play Dr Jekyll
And Mr. Hyde with me

Look a little deeper,
Look a little deeper,
I believed in you
I believed in you

Look deeper inside. (Backing vocals) Cosmic Keanu

Lyrics:  The Tale of Grace O’Malley

Let me tell you the tale
Of Grace O’Malley
Crimson red hair 
And the courage she carried
A nobleman’s daughter
A life full of rules
But fate took her hands 
And gave her sailing shoes
A pirate queen,  deadly  and fair…
In Gaelic her name wasn’t Grace
It’s Grainne of Clare  

Oh Grainne, Grainne of Clare
Who could lead men to battle, lead with a valkyrie stare
And you’d never give in
Though your life was at stake
You’d show us what valour could mean
For you’d rather die freely
Than live on your knees

V2
In a time when a girl 
Had no worth but breeding
You broke all the rules
And pierced every ceiling
You made all your fortunes
Then saved all your sons
And paid the Queens’ ransom
Then called all to arms
For bonnie Ireland needed you so
And your heart would never let go.. could never let go….

Oh Grainne, Grainne of Clare
Who could lead men to battle, 
Lead them with a with a valkyrie stare
And you’d never give in
Though your life was at stake
You’d show us what valour could mean
For you’d rather die freely
Than live on your knees
Oh you’d rather die freely 
Than live on your knees…

So now you know the tale.. of Grace O’Malley
Just a girl with red hair .. who was worth more than marriage
Now look at your daughters..  and tell them you love them
And treat them like equals and never condemn them
They’re all so much more.. they’re  worth so much more…
Like Grainne of Clare.

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition and foundational rhythm guitar

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–guitar solos choruses, mix, and production

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell –electric piano, synth, and intro composition

K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion 

Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez–Guitar solo in the verses

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass guitar
 
This song began with Artur composing the entire skeleton, and recording it against a mechanical beat. He presented it to Josh, who immediately shared it with The Eclectic Collective. Ken first replaced the metronomic beat with a real, rocking drum sound. Josh promptly added his fretless bass to it, to complete the rhythm section. Soon after, JJ added his electric piano magic, including a short solo, to the stew. Once the rhythmic framework was laid down, Stephen got to work on the choruses, coming up with solid, melodic lines for them. Then, it was Tez's turn to light up the verses with his monster guitar. When we had it mostly completed, Artur asked JJ if he'd do an intro to it. JJ came up with the whole psychedelic intro in response. 
  When it was finished, we asked Stephen if he would mix it for us, which he did with his typical mastery and attention to detail. We all really enjoy making music with Artur, and have been fans of and collaborators with him for almost a year now. If you like the sound of this song, you would do well to go check out his page, too, as he has a bunch of gems on there. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Short Song About Fairground

Ein von mir vor Jahrzehnten geschriebener Songtext mit AI vertont:
Jede Nacht habe ich einen anderen Traum. Ich bin jeweils eine Manifestation der Natur, in Wasser, Erde,Luft:

(Verse 1)
Ich war ein Fisch, mein Schuppenkleid war  schön,
ich schwamm im klaren Wasser, froh alles anzusehn,
Algen umschmeichelten mich, Nahrung war nicht fern,
alles war einfach, ich hatte mein Leben gern.
(Chorus)
Doch es war nur ein Traum, ich weiß es genau,
die Wirklichkeit sieht anders aus
Da sehe ich Abwässer, alles ist grau,
und die Leute, die machen sich nichts draus.
(Verse 2)
Ein Baum war ich, dem Himmel zugewendet,
meine Blätter sprossen, die Blüten waren fast verschwendet,
Wasser zog ich aus der Erde, nahrhaft und rein,
ich wollt‘ nichts andres, als ein Baum zu sein.
(Chorus)
Doch es war nur ein Traum, ich weiß es genau,
Die Wirklichkeit sieht anders aus.
Da sehe ich Giftmüll, alles ist grau,
und die Leute machen sich nichts draus.
(Verse 3)
Ein Schmetterling, der war ich auch,
Liebe zu machen, das war mein Brauch,
Farben gab es, lockten mich hinein
in Blüten, zart wie heller Sonnenschein.
(Chorus)
Doch es war nur ein Traum, ich weiß es genau,
Die Wirklichkeit sieht anders aus.
Da sehe ich Rauchschwaden, alles ist grau,
und die Leute machen sich nichts draus.
(Verse 4)
Mein letzter Traum, das war des Pudels Kern,
ich war ein Mensch, auf unsrem kleinen Stern,
zerstörte alles, was für uns aufgebaut,
war Babylonier, der nur zum Himmel schaut.
(Chorus)
Und das war nicht nur ein Traum, ich weiß es genau,
so sieht die Wirklichkeit aus,
ich sehe Verwesung, alles ist grau,
und die Leute, die machen sich nichts draus.
(Outro)
Doch Träume sind keine Schäume
in vielen Seelen wachsen noch alle Bäume,
komm, wir halten zusammen, ist doch klar,
und all unsre Träume werden wahr.

The Return Play Interlude 6

Growing up, my mom had a cassette of Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas music. I wore it out. I've always loved genre-bending Christmas music. Here's my rendition of Carol of the Bells: a bit jazzy, a bit contemporary, a dash of haunting dissonance, and a touch of rock.

This one was fun, hope you like it! Please share it with friends if you enjoy it!

Latest Updates: 
Seasons Greetings to all my followers and friends, thank you for all your support throughout 2025. Hope 2026 brings you all much joy and peace. All the very best, Ian
Headphones are recommended on my work to allow the full effect. 
Over 1800 Tracks now on my channel, making music on here since 2015.
Have been remastering some of my 'unloved' tracks from the past here on SC - music which has not received as many plays as I would have expected. Maybe 2nd time around your might like it.
The 2025 remastered tracks are being readied for my best of 2025 album in 2026, available January 2026.
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.
Also new for Autumn 2025, a collection of classical piano pieces which I composed back in 2010, in memory of my late father who inspired me to play the keyboard in the first place. Under the title of Magician In Private, hope you will allow my indulgence into a special world of just simple piano, no frills.
Please checkout my vast collection of playlists. All my best music is on there in one place. Is free to listen to or sleep with.
From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.
All my albums in full quality are available on Bandcamp, please check out the link below.
Have recently taken a short holiday to recharge my batteries and top up my creative juices. Thank you to all my followers for your continued support and encouragement, means the world to me.
Over 10K minutes uploaded, over 1500 tracks - am sure there is something in there for everybody to enjoy. I love making music. Hope it matters to you.
Am posting some Jarre sounding pieces as homage to my lifelong hero of electronic music, using some of the sounds and instruments he has used along the way. Jar of Jarre is my collection of memorable sounds which have changed the way we appreciate modern electro.
Keep an eye out for my new collection of 2024 Remastered best of tracks, coming soon.
New year, new start. Back on the search for good music and inspiration. Will be featuring a lot of my older work remastered this year, seems like a long time since I began my composing journey back in 2000.
Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic. 
Thank you for all your kind comments and support throughout 2024 I do appreciate it. Stay safe and love each other.
All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set. (Now available on Bandcamp). 2020 consists of a 3 volume set (now available on Bandcamp).
If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
