The orchestration and harmonies are wonderful James.

Beautiful Guitar-Parts. Lovely Major-Chords

A fabulous collaboration both of you...a really calming feel which really matches the video.  Glorious vocal harmonies!  A really lovely piece!

James, beautiful melodies here! really nice!!!

Ooh this has a lovely 70's soft rock vibe to it. Great songwriting and production!

More than 30 years ago, I went to a concert of a band from the neighbourhood. If memory serves, they played a tune called "Tanz der Spurrillen" - a stub of which I vaguely remember. Or so I think. That stub now became the theme of this piece.

Reminiscing

A live recording from around 1983,when Alien were a very popular local band It's from an old cassette tape, so the sound is pretty bad but does improve as it goes along.
 Alien were: Vocals.  Derek Storey ... Guitar. Ronnie Anderson ... Bass. Terry (Tex) Flynn ... Drums. Kenny Mckie (me). Sadly, I am the only surviving member of the band.
There is a studio recording of one of the tracks on YouTube and spotify ... Alien. Could Have Done Better ... NEAT RECORDS

Alien  Live, from the early 1980s

Cover from Emmerson Lake & Palmer. All instruments and voices are played by myself. This was the first song ever with a moog syntheziser solo at the end !

Lucky Man

It goes without saying but no music maker or AI.  Thank you all for your encouragement. 

If there’s one thing that you must do
Be yourself and let the light shine through
It’s time stand up tall and proud
Don’t let the bad times bring you down

If it feels like your broken heart won’t mend
When  all seems lost you’ll find your strength within

Take a look at the world around you
it’s your life and it’s finally found you
now it feels like you are not alone
And it feels like you’ve come home
 
See the people walking hand in hand
It’s time for  celebration in this land

We all come from the stars
We all are who you are
We were born to shine
We were born to live our life
We  were born to find our happiness where you might

this love it makes me high
As we float across the sky 
Now we Hold your heads up high
And together we will rise

The Ladder

I’m a singer/songwriter from Guildford, Surrey, England. I started writing songs when I was 12 on a piano but really got into it when I started playing the guitar at 13/14. As with so many of us, career and family became the priority and I stopped writing over a 30 year period. Now I’ve retired, I’ve finally got time to write and record again and I love it! 
I play everything on the songs and record on my MacBook on GarageBand. Still learning! 
I hope you enjoy the songs and thank you in advance for any comments and feedback.
