Beautiful song writing and lovely performances

echoes of clifford t ward - very welcome echoes

Gorgeous instrumentation lacing around the song and on this little interlude here.  Again, those gorgeous tender vocals of yours brilliantly wrapping the whole feel of the song.

Cool song, James!! Great vocal, cool lyrics, and great production!!

Corrected me if I'm wrong but I sense that there is a beautiful folk music origin at the heart of this one. Your melodies are so alluring especially with your elegant and gentle voice. The lyrics are so relatable too

Forever (Happy the Man Mix)

Sing me a song of your heartache 
I’ll sing you a story of mine
And we can pretend it’s all on
An everything’s fine
Let me know all of your reasons
For being me here tonight 
Cause you know that I’ve wanted this
For a time

You said that you meant all the words of what you said
To the conversations we had 
Your leaving me, believing me 
All for reasons I don’t know

It’s so hard to wait
It’s so hard to wait forever and always 

You talk to me then you leave me
You take me to where I wouldn’t got
All along I feel so good
You make me feel whole
What can I do what can I say
To get the other one from between
Sit here and lie, maybe get mad
But it won’t go and solve a thing 

You’re leaving me while me while you bleeding me
For reasons I don’t know 
You said that you meant all the words of what you said
To the conversations we had  
You said that you meant all the words of what you said
To the conversations we had

It’s so hard to wait
It’s so hard to wait forever and always

Forever

Melodica Dub With eddyoffline

Composed by Stefano Manotti, performed by Fatjon Zefi.

In this piece, hope wins after a triumphal ride, when all forces seem to wane. This is almost unlikely in reality, but luckily there is music, capable of sublimating suffering and defeats.

DECEPTION

The battle rages on
And we must choose a side
Only hot or cold
Left in the divide

The fence is rotting
Upon which we sit
Soon it won’t hold
We’ll fall as it splits

We'll fall

Hearts will be broken
And turn on their own
Until they freeze solid
And then turn to stone

Or will grow warmer
Remember our youth
Grow stronger with time
Grow stronger in Truth

The choice will be made
Inside every heart
On the day of the Lord
All will be sorted out

Sitting on the fence, 
is no defense
The truth will reveal
the deception

Sort it out

Deception (David k. A. Spencer & Cosmic Keanu)

A song about doubt, fears and holding on. 

It has been mastered by Ryan at RCD Audio. 

Lyrics:

This washed out, mid week Morning

This morning you said you loved me
Where the hell did that come from?
I’ve been waiting months for some affection 
Now this just trips off your tongue!
On this washed out, midweek morning, 
There’s hope again! 

My routine has been disrupted 
As I’m thinking about your words
For weeks I thought that it was over
But now it seems a future’s there for us  
on this washed out, midweek morning, 
Confusion grows

And doubts intrude where trusting thoughts reside
I know I can sense it
I’m sure there’s a reason
For you to have this change of mind  
On this washed out, midweek morning 
I Feel so unsure 

And I could dig a little deeper
Yeah I could really shake that tree 
But i don’t want confirmation 
Now you’ve said you love me!
On this washed out, midweek morning 
Let’s move on! 

And doubts intrude where trusting thoughts reside 
I know I can sense it
I’m sure there’s a reason 
For you to have this change of mind
On this washed out, midweek morning, 
I’ll ignore to love

Don't look back - w/ eddyoffline

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.
