Name: As We Go Along-Instrumental by Jeff Willcox
Duration: 3 min 33 s
Description: Been unhappy with the vocal version, so I thought I would post this without the vocals.

After a month of vocal practise and studying music production, I definitely feel like I've improved since End of an Era but still have a long way to go. I'm still getting the hang of mixing but mastering is still something I need to study. Regardless I felt satisfied enough to release the song so I can move on to other projects.

I wrote this song late last year. It's a bit of a difficult one to fully explain. The lyrics are a bit messy but kind of make sense in my head. It's based on the emotions that come from the anticipation of someone who's going to leave you who you don't have the strength to leave yourself.

Gone in a flash
Like somehow I'd imagined a ghost
I saw through your act
And denied all the facts when you showed

I saw through the cracks 
In your invisibility cloak
So you can pretend all you like
Oh but darling, you know

That it's true 
All I can do is stay beside you
Playing along till you're long gone
I'll wait beside you

Don't say goodbye when you go
Leave me here with the lies that you told 
'Cause I've seen all the signs 
And I said my goodbye long ago
'Cause I've known all this time
And I said my goodbye long ago

War with your mask
I'm outnumbered ten thousand to one
I can't counteract your relentless attacks anymore

Caught in a web
Inescapable threads that you wrought
So you can pretend I'm a fly 
For you darling, you know

That it's true 
All I can do is stay beside you
Playing along till you're long gone
I'll wait beside you

Don't say goodbye when you go
Leave me here with the lies that you told 
'Cause I've seen all the signs 
And I said my goodbye long ago 

Don't tell me I'm not enough 
I know I can't provide what you want
Only here on the side for you
Don't say goodbye when you go 
Don't say goodbye when you go

Don't say goodbye when you go
Leave me here with the lies that you told 
'Cause I've seen all the signs 
And I said my goodbye long ago 

Don't tell me I'm not enough 
I know I can't provide what you want
Only here on the side for you
Don't say goodbye when you go 
Don't say goodbye when you go


When You Go

"Love at first sight is like a lightning bolt to the soul , a single glance, time stands still, and there's an unexplainable sense of familiarity, as if you've known each other forever. It's irrational, instinctive, yet deeply real".Lenn

Dream of You (Live Version)

"Black & White give us a sense of duality like Yin and Yang, the good and the evil..
Two opposites to each other...
References and part of the search of balance in everithing...
Harmony like the keys of piano or the dance of serveral dancers...
Character like a filter of image or video...
Only Black & White? No shades!...
Unique, relevant, essential...
The starting point of everything...
A return of the essence of  forms and lines".

A modern Piano - New Age composition.

Black & White (Instrumental Version)

Been unhappy with the vocal version, so I thought I would post this without the vocals.

As We Go Along-Instrumental

I've been writing and editing this track for years now and thought It's time to get it out there. It's written about how we often rely on certain things or people in life and how we question ourselves on why we need those things.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know what it is about me 
That makes me want something to rely on 
I don't know what it is about you
That makes you that thing I set my sights on
When I can't find relief with the lights off
Cold in my sleep, nearing finality

With no anchor to hold, 
I'll ride the sea
Endlessly out of control
There's no sanctuary
I don't know how to stand alone
When you're far out of my reach
Endlessly out of control
There's no sanctuary
I don't know what it is about me

I don't know what it is in my head
That makes me crave all these things,
When I know I should resist them
I don't know what it is about you I surrender to
I never knew all the depths I'd travel through
To depend on something for survival
My helpless mentality manifesting calamities

With no anchor to hold, 
I'll ride the sea
Endlessly out of control
There's no sanctuary
I don't know how to stand alone
When you're far out of my reach
Endlessly out of control
There's no sanctuary
I don't know what it is about me

I can't find gravity
Receding like galaxies 
My whole world comes apart
I've got naught to fall on 
With no answer below
In my low self-esteem
I don't know what it is about me  
Oh I don't know, I don't know what it is about me.

With no anchor to hold, 
Evermore, I will be
Endlessly out of control
There's no sanctuary
I don't know how to stand alone
When you're far out of my reach
Endlessly out of control
There's no sanctuary
I don't know what it is about me

With no anchor to hold, 
I'll ride the sea
Endlessly out of control
There's no sanctuary
I don't know how to stand alone
When you're far out of my reach
Endlessly out of control
There's no sanctuary
I don't know what it is about me
I don't know what it is about me
I don't know what it is about me

Sanctuary

“A musical journey that blends nature and introspection: a place where belonging fuels clarity, renewal, and the drive to reach new heights. Modern Rock with a retro touch, wide cinematic atmospheres, and an immersive vibe that inspires rediscovery and transformation.”

Walking Away (On This Mountain)

Situé dans une représentation fictive de l'Islande médiévale, "Les Sagas de Windholm" de Erik Upper, est composé de quatre histoires qui imitent les éléments communs aux traditions culturelles et littéraires de l'Islande au Moyen Âge, principalement pensez à l'épopée Vikings, mais avec moins de raids et plus de douceur dans l'écriture. 
Cette approche musicale pourrait soutenir cette saga dans son ensemble et permettre de deviner les contours, de cette histoire plutôt fascinante ….

This musical approach could support the saga as a whole and allow us to guess at the contours of this rather fascinating story ....

I was very happy when Viv agreed to collab, and then produced some beautifully inspired acoustic and bass, and loved what he created.
Many thanks Viv, it was fun working with you again!

Lyrics
An unlikely a pairing
As ever would be
The Doo and the Daw
In a strange harmony

One bustles, one struts
But their business is clear
The attaining of order
For survival so dear

Day after Day
In garden and field
They comb all the ground
For a hopeful yield

Blue eyes a watching
Should a chance appear
Or a playful encounter
With a friend, brings cheer

Thankyou to those of you who liked and commented last week when the vocal stem went out by mistake!
