I really like the freedom/love (of a father) expressed in the song Johnny.

What a good time You had - You and Your son! Lovely song and lovely picture!

I heard this one months ago but somehow missed the chance to leave a comment, unless I left it on another mix. Sounding great and I'm getting the spirit of Phil Lynnot in this one. Thanks for sharing Johnny

I hope your son had a great time here 🤍 Love your vocals so much

I’ve been checking your Cloud looking for a fix of a new tune but didn’t see this!! What a great celebratory upbeat track!! Def passes the old grey whistle test!!!!

a super appealing track-can almost feel my toes squishing the sand

Still great, sounds just like Mike Scott!

Really catchy toon, more top guitar work.

another day, another reason...........cheers for the listen

 A bit of fun this one.  Everybody thinks about running away to somewhere tropic.  I just like the thought of drinking alcoholic beverages with large reptilian beasts.
Enjoy

Hey Hey (What A Way To Go)

Sometimes a song needs a special touch to bring it to its full potential and Finn  once again has transformed this very average little ugly Duckling song into a beautiful elegant White Swan  and lifted it to a height that only he can with his amazing vocal & production talents.

The song is about an ordinary Guy, could be you and I, He has no wings, he's good and he's bad, he's human not an Angel but when you need someone he is the one who is there for you in your hour of need and always will be , because he's  Solid. He's your friend . 
Thank you Finn.

Ordinary Guy : Featuring Finn Eces

All about a busker braving the weather to do his stuff , something I have never tried and never wish to , too much like hard work ! The next one out on the 15th is my Xmas offering , I love Xmas NOT . Far too expensive , over in a flash and you're broke ! That picture could be me in a few years !

I wrote this song for my son who went to Australia a while back. Before he went we went camping and surfing over to the west of Ireland to the Maharees, beautiful place. We camped in the dunes, lit a camp fire, cooked burgers, drank beer and later we lay on our backs watching the stars. The sun when it sets in the West of Ireland is Golden as it sinks into the sea. I am comparing the Golden Sun to my Golden son. 
Beautiful Memory in Song. 

This is a remix.

***************************:
She walks into the room, with a glare so cold
Just like an iceberg, her attitude is bold 
With every word, she's sharp as a knife,
But deep inside, I know she’s cute as a wife 

She huffs and puffs, putting up a fight
But deep in her eyes, there is a glimmer of light
Her stubborn ways make me laugh a lot 
For underneath, she's got a gentle slot 

(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh oh oh
She acts like a berserker 
Nobody can really jerk her 
Oh, oh, oh oh oh
When I see her smile she melts me
Can you set that feisty princess free?

She calls me bad names, with her fiery tongue
Her cheeks flush pink, when love is sprung.
Though she pushes away with every slight,
Her secret longing shines through the fight.

(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh oh oh
She burns like an avenger 
But she smells like a lavender 
Oh, oh, oh oh oh
When I see her smile she melts me
Can you set that feisty princess free?

She's a Berserker

A cover of the Tears for Fears song off their album of 1985: Songs From the Big Chair. A huge worldwide hit, the song reached #1 in Canada and New Zealand, and #2 in Australia, and the UK. Wiki info is that the song was written by Roland Orzabal, Ian Stanley and Chris Hughes, and produced by Hughes. Curt Smith sings lead vox. Song is in G, but don't try to work it out from the original album because I believe they sped up the tape so it would play slightly faster (sounding better) but making life hard for covering it. A nice relatively recent live version is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGPFmBbnsNM. 
It's a nice challenge to try to cover these synthpop masterpieces with basic equipment. I had some help. Lead vox Karaoke; backups moi, and all instruments, programming, production. (I use an old version of Nuendo, plus assorted programs and plugins.) 
I extended the second guitar solo at the end. The chord changes there are cool and the key is guitar-friendly!

Everybody wants to rule the world (by Tears for Fears)

I spent two years making Punto Ártica album as a whole, and I mostly played my mom’s Spanish guitar in the spare time. This theme and chords got shape with time, without any plan, in some different variations I’ve tried to remember and craft here.

Even a 7/4 vocal section had come up. In the spirit of this new profile, I asked Codi (https://soundcloud.com/noisealter) to adapt my translation of a poem I wrote when my age was about 1/3 than now (see below), and he also sung it with the passion and delivery I was looking for !!

Original poem  /  First translation:

FEBRERO  /  FEBRUARY

Efe de frío, Febrero,  /  ‘F’ for Freeze, February,
tiempo de ocio y ventura  /  leisure and venture time.
Sueño, guitarra, lectura,  /  Sleep, guitar, reading,
paso intermedio.  /  intermediate step.

Tiempo de amigos y risas  /  Time for friends and laughter,
de descanso e ilusión  /  of rest and illusion
de esperanza y ocasión,  /  of hope and opportunity,
muere la prisa.  /  the rush dies.

Febrero de nacimiento,  /  February of birth,
pausa para el estudiante.  /  pause for the student.
Los problemas van delante,  /  The problems go ahead,
estoy contento.  /  I’m happy.

Hi, My name is Johnny Mc Farlane, I am an Indie songwriter from Ireland. I write, play, produce and distribute my own music. I try to write songs that will mean something to whoever may be listening. I try to express feeling and emotions through my music, I try to hit the heart and soul of whoever may be listening and to pass on my feelings through my lyrics and my music. A lot of the songs I write come from Personal experiences, some are pure imagination, but all try to carry a message of Hope, Fait, understanding and a spiritual message of love. I am just one voice in the wilderness but together we are stronger. Thank you so much for listening to my music. It’s a real honour.
