Regeneration picks up where Planet in Peril left off.  A sequel of sorts.  Touches on neglect and abuse, effect of Covid-19 and leaves off with a message of hope.  Stick around till the end.

You can ignore the facts,  and make up your own
Mislead the masses,  for personal gain
This changes nothing, nothing at all
Avoid and neglect  exasperate the need
We need to act, and need to act now.

There is no denying,  we must be better
So much at stake,  a lifetime to lose
We can make a difference, and foster a better way.

Daily life on pause,  traffic ground to a halt.
Social distancing hinders, our most primal needs.
Basic activities,  now a challenge to all.
Pollution dissipating,  and waters clearing
An invisible threat, at our very doorstep.

There is no denying,  we must be better
Our world is so fragile,  we all have a part
A little pain today,   wake up to a brave new world

Instrumental

We must do better,  or risk it all.
Too much at stake,  to stand idlely by.
This too shall pass,  and good times return.
We bear the burden,  to take control
Change our habits,  to shape the future.

The is no denying,  we must be better
A frightening time,  a wake up call to all.
A worldwide effort, a regeneration.

Songs for Social Change

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to listen.  
My name is Johnny, a lifelong musician and songwriter whose work is deeply rooted in the pursuit of justice, equality, and meaningful change. For as long as I can remember, music has been my voice, my weapon, and my sanctuary—a way to channel the frustrations, hopes, and dreams of a world in turmoil.  

My songs are a reflection of the turbulent times in which we live. They are anthems for the marginalized, the oppressed, and the forgotten—those who bear the weight of systemic inequality, poverty, and injustice. Through my music, I aim to amplify the voices of minorities, the poor, the sick, and the downtrodden, shining a light on the struggles they endure in a society that often turns a blind eye.  

At the heart of my work is a call to resist the oppressive grip of the billionaire class, whose unchecked power and greed have eroded the foundations of our democracy. My lyrics are a rallying cry, urging listeners to awaken to the realities of our world, to challenge the status quo, and to fight for a future where equity and justice are not just ideals, but realities.  

But my music is not just a critique of what is wrong—it is also a beacon of hope. I strive to inspire others to join the fight, to look in the mirror and confront the uncomfortable truths of our nation’s bloody history. Only by acknowledging the past can we begin to heal and move forward. My songs are a tribute to the dreamers and the activists who came before us, and a call to carry their torch into the future.  

Above all, I seek to honor the vision of John Lennon and countless others who dared to imagine a world of peace, love, and unity. Through my music, I hope to contribute to that vision.  

Thank you for listening, and thank you for being part of the movement for change. Together, we can create a world where justice, compassion, and humanity prevail.

Bio
In 2007 at age 63 Montrealer Peter Wheeler bought his first guitar. He then went to amazon.com and purchased a book called “How To Play The Guitar for Dummies”. Since then he hasn’t looked back. 

Sometimes serious - sometimes humorous Wheeler’s music seeks to re-capture the Classic Vibes  from the 70’s & 80’s. To best describe his music imagine Bob Dylan & The Doors meet The Clash & Leonard Cohen at the Hotel California & share a bottle of wine with Tarantino. Peter Wheeler is a poet - focusing all his energies into creating musical canvases to express his personal vision of the world surrounding him. 

For several years Peter was part of the local bar scene in the Greater Montreal area.  He performed as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for The Rock Roulette Band. His experiences giving live performances and continually improving his guitar playing has truly shown that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

In 2020 Peter teamed up with Johnny Vienneau, a multi- talented musician and Producer from Montreal and recorded his first album of cover songs called "Self Portrait".  https://soundcloud.com/peter-wheeler/sets/self-portrait-1

Prior to embarking on his musical odyssey Peter's main passion was painting having had several major exhibitions and loyal patrons. https://www.facebook.com/media/set?set=a.46081025804&type=3    

Today Peter continues to pursue his passion for The Arts by doing portraits of friends, family and people he greatly admires. In 2021 he became a re-born again environmentalist and his songwriting is now focused on increasing awareness of the climatic challenge facing the planet.

I have a lot of respect for all musicians.
It seems that I have spent most of my life with a biased musical taste. It's a shame. Here on Soundcloud, everyone is overflowing with freedom of expression, in a thousand and one waves of the soul. It's amazing. Thank you everyone.

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.

I am a Canadian composer, songwriter and performer that dabbles in production, remixes and of course a suite of original compositions.

My sounds were born because I was tired of (not) listening to what the media were offering, since the mid-90s, without paying any attention to the quality of the music.
I don't define myself as a musician, but a sound craftsman who, thanks to new technologies, enjoys experimenting with notes and sounds, and through SoundCloud I put myself to the test.
I thank all those who listen to me, but especially those who follow me.

I've been busy working with a band. But I will post something really soon. 
This is a great music community that supports  and encourages others. I urge you to do the same for your fellow artists.
I thank everybody for your precious time.  It means a lot to me.
If you have a moment or two, listen to some tracks, leave a message  and please repost if you like. After all, music is meant to be heard.  Thank you for dropping in.

All the nickels and dimes I make on my songs will go to children charities (tbd).  Thank you for your support.

I love listening to tracks on SC and will certainly repost, but I only repost what I actually listen to.
Influences or artists I simply really like.
Jeff Beck, David Gilmore, Johnny Winter, Rory Gallagher, Adrian Belew, Mark Farner, SRV, Hendrix, Steve Vai, and the list goes on.
