Collaborations

Some songs take something special to bring them to life and in this case it is the Amazing voice of Finn Eces. Finn has a quality to his voice which is able to release the magic from a song and really express the message of the song in the Vocal with passion and beauty, very happy to have this collaboration with him. 

this song has been bugging me for months trying to get it to realize its potential and to get the feeling out of the song, i have already released  it under of the name of " Searching for your love" but i was never 100% Happy with it I hope all my SoundCloud friend agree that this is now a really Beautiful song.

About The Song 
THE ROAD is a song about Life, how we all can loose our way and how we are all only human, but the big message in the song is that no matter how wrong we go, or how lost we get that we can always change our direction and take another path and that we all need good friends to help each other on our way ... that' s the great thing about Life....Its never too late to change the ROAD that you are travelling on.

The Road: Featuring Finn Eces & Debra Buesking

A song of hope for light to shine through the darkness. 

Written and performed : Johnny Mc Farlane

A song of hope

The message in this song is that there is strength in numbers, one voice by itself may not be heard, but a million voices must be heard. One raindrop by itself is lost but when million come together they form the mighty seas. I wanted to get a live feel from this song so i recorded the vocal and the guitar live in 1 take on my Zoom X5 then transferred the WAV file to the DAW where i put in some atmospheric voice synth, some acoustic Bass and some percussion. its one of the longest songs i have recorded as i generally believe that most people won't listen more than 3 minutes but hopefully there is enough in here to keep interest,  i really hope you like it and to help here are the words.


One voice in the wilderness, 
one raindrop falls from the sky 
One soul lost in the darkness,
 One tear drop falls from an eye 

Two voices join together and sing in harmony 
Two raindrops join together help to form  the sea 
Two souls finds each other floating in the sky 
Two tear drops fall together as somebody starts to cry 

3 voices shout for freedom all for one and one for all 
3 Raindrops turn to snow drops as they gently fall 
3 souls on the ground fell the gentle Snow 
3 tears freeze like icicles on the world below 

4 voices sound so beautiful as they together sing 
4 raindrops paly a magic scale as the church bells ring 
4 souls move together in perfect harmony 
4 tear drops cry for you and for me 

5 voices become a quire voices of all pitches 
5 Rains drops fall and form a stream running in the ditches 
5 souls join together to become a might forces 
5 tear drop fall full of remorse

Together we are  Stronger (There's strength in numbers)

This song was written by Doug Roossien https://soundcloud.com/doug-roossien?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharingand when i hear it i fell in love with it. It's a song about life and love as most Country based songs are but this song has a great drive and passion in it. Doug wrote this song many moons ago along with a whole Aladdin's cave of pearls and gems, he is a first class song writer. i would strongly recommend for you to visit his SoundCloud site to hear some more really amazing songs. 

I was very honored when Doug asked my if i would like to write a backing track and produce this song  for him and i have to say its one of those songs that i just love to listen to. 
Hope you do too
Thanks you Doug

Hi, My name is Johnny Mc Farlane,  I am a songwriter from Ireland. 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 honor.
