yeah, those antiquated guitar moves makes my antiquated heart skip a beat:) So beautiful Jonathan:)

Such sweet guitar work your playing is amazing

Striking and original, Jonathan! Really enjoyed this one. One of my kids had a studio at Temple Works in Leeds (worth Googling), the basement was so vast people were warned not to enter. They once had to send a search party in to find some lost youths!

Great down to Earth feel.  Raw and heartfelt

This track is a time capsule with strings, a haunting walk through memory’s basement corridors. Jonathan doesn’t just recall Westbeth, he resurrects it. You hear the stone, the steel doors, the hum of ghosts rehearsing decades ago. Those antiquated guitar moves? They're perfect here. Not dated, deliberate. Reverberating textures tumble forward and then pull back, like you’ve turned a wrong corner and ended up somewhere deeply familiar. It’s dissonant, nostalgic, messy in the way memory should be. You don’t need a polished take when the raw ache is the point. 💨 The kettle rattled low and said, “That opening chord hit like a heavy door swinging shut behind me. I was locked in, clanging pipes and all. Sounded like someone mic’d up a memory” 🧀 The grater scraped a little louder than necessary and said, “You can hear the grit in the corners, that’s real texture right there” 🧃 The juice press tilted thoughtfully and said, “I’d call this a full bodied emotional cleanse, with extra pulp”

Love these big, bluesy, resonating tones, Jonathon. Feels like I'm vicariously soaking up those ambient vibes. Clearly, they've been inspiring : )

one of my favorite songs when I'm on the road, and I just realized I haven't even liked it yet... what a treasure trove of sensational sounds, dear jonathan!!! I can so vividly imagine these hallways. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

I've Already Told You

This is a track I uploaded a while back and somehow made it private by accident.  This is more of a melancholy bit of upbeat.  Like grasping on to something great at a heavy down time. It's hard to explain how this particular track comes across, but I truly hope you enjoy it!

EXPLORERS

================================

Hi everyone.

After three weeks sick, he seems to be starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel (That's what we say in Spain...).

My precious kidney stones have prevented me from focusing on songwriting and my commitments to some friends here, and will continue to do so for a while...

But my spirit regains energy and that's why I leave you here a composition from almost 8 years ago that I don't remember having published before.

It is one of the most complex electronic parts ever made.

It's true that I remastered it a few years later in my second mixing studio......yes, in my second car with BT.

I hope you like it, while I hope to expel two of my beloved stones from the four I have had since the last month.

Greetings.

Paco. ; )

I always put you up on a pedestal - And you would prove me right every time - And every day my life's been better still - I never let you off my mind
I always thought that it be better by now - I always seem to let you down - I'm trying hard but babe it's bred in me - Please don't leave me upside down
And there's a cold wind blowing from the north and i worry about us all the time - with the distance growing and sharp hollow notions we're oblivious through it all
Promise me you'll never leave me even though the coast is clear just say you aint going nowhere - i saw him leave the house smiling - saw him tuck in his shirt believe me babe your secret's safe with me - it'll always be safe with me
I always thought that we'd be better by now - I never seemed to let this go
Walking away babe is so damn hard - when you're all I've ever known
And there's a warm wind blowing from the west and so much i need to get off of my chest - I didn't mean to hurt you but i am flawed - believe me baby I'm doing my best
Promise me you'll never leave me even though the coast is clear just say you aint going nowhere - I saw him leave the house smiling - saw him tuck in his shirt believe me babe your secret's safe with me
It'll always be safe with me
It'll always be safe with me safe with me
It'll always be safe

Safe with me

Hello everyone, 
a while ago I came across Layna's page here on Soundcloud. I was amazed by her beautiful voice. I am very happy that she agreed to my request for a collaboration. So we re-recorded the traditional "Ash Grove", which she had sung before. I gave the piece an orchestral arrangement that includes the typical Celtic instruments. In addition, there was a new intro and outro.

I am incredibly happy that I was able to work with such a wonderful singer. Thank you very much, Layna!

You can also find Layna's wonderful singing here:

Ash Grove (feat. Layna)

Just for fun. 

I shared a rehearsal space in the basement of Westbeth Artist Housing (please see the photo) in the late 70’s. This music has to do with my dream-memory of the place.

The basement was labyrinthine. Until a few years ago, I still had recurring dreams of that environment. It was constructed of grey painted cinder block or some such stony material. There were many bands in many rooms down there, and as you walked the halls you’d hear all the musics leaking out from under steel doors in cacophony. Often you’d hear the band in the next cell right through your own stone wall as you were playing. That made it hard to record in there. We did it anyway. 

The sonic qualities of this recording remind me of those hallways as do some of the somewhat antiquated guitar moves. And by the way, I love antiquated guitar moves!

rotten weather   rollin’ in

we’ll go walkin’ anyway

‘gainst the wind


get your go-bag ready
load the car up


did you hear it?  distant roar

keep your ear down to the ground

check the score


get your hard hat ready
fill those bottles up


i can’t remember
were you there?
your fingers running
through my hair


let them come now  let them try

beating down the beautiful

of our tribe


purple mountains raging
blackened skies 
constitution’s aging
battle cry 

high angels  hiding

my country  dying

(not too late)   (late)

let’s listen  let’s breathe 

(not too late)   (late)

The blues are steeped in the tradition of bawdy/dirty songs. Think of Bo Carter (my pencil don't write no more) or Lil Johnson (Sam the hot dog man). You get the idea.
Here's my bawdy blues celebrating outdoor sex.
Added to my album "All This Useless Beauty." Check it out!


Lyrics:
Ohh my girl 
She's so cityfied
But something comes over her
In the countryside
When she tells me to pitch a tent
I see in her eyes
That bad intent
She becomes a wild woods woman (2X)

Riding down the road
She says:
"Get a blanket and pull over to the side."

We're out in nature
Doing our thing!
All god's creatures they cover their eyes
Oh, the ground is so rough
Don't ya know she can't get enough
Wild woods woman (2X)

In the tall grass
Having some fun
I feel like Mother Nature's only son
Down in the milkweeds that makes me sneeze
Don't ya know she's got me on my knees
It gets so hot!
So hot!
So hot!
She never tires
(Only you can prevent forest fires)

Wild Woods Woman

'In A Moment' is a smooth jazz piece and just reflects my mood at the time of writing.

The image is interesting. Taken in 1985, I would have been 5 years old. That water doesn't exist there anymore. I have my feet in Djouce mini reservoir. In August 1986, Hurricane Charlie caused it to burst it's banks and it emptied into the river Dargle and caused some fairly bad flooding in our home town of Bray, Co. Wicklow. Djouce Lake is now a dry lake 🔆

Instrumentation
-Piano played on keys
-Ovation Acoustic Guitar 2 rhythm runs
-Bass one through run\
-Epiphone rhythm one run
-Epiphon elead one run
-Vocals one run
-Deep tech logic kit beat following piano for first half of track and then acoustic guitar for second half

To add
-Build a pizzicato string section to follow the acoustic rhythm. Or whatever punchy bow up down technique is. Turn this into a legsro section for the second half and should build the drama nicely
-Bring in high pitched percussion for the interlude at 2min34 and then make that low pitched tribal epicness for the outro section from

Shout out to the masters. Radiohead - The Tourist locked in the 9/8 mode with a few loops before writing the piano line. Love the way they venture different timings. I'm not sure this song is straight 9/8 though. I think they throw in a 12/8 and or a 3/4 at some point in the sections.
Truly the best band of all time in my world. I'm praying hard we get at least one more album 😆🧬🎶

The idea of the title is, let's move out of the metaphorical hell we all see people creating around us and get grounded! ❤️

I'll also note that ascension of awareness from pea head means we end up beside eachother.... No bullshit above and below!🔆


Up to the Ground

Good consciousness of clean
Infinity of one
Flow good now eternal
A christ like glow mind won
Synchronised to system
Forget the old body
I'm always here as spirit
As all life ghost shall be
I am Nana and Papa
I'm all passed life and live
I am potential energy
Just good idea inside
I am a friend of Spiders
I am a partner of Trees
I am a rock that made me
Equals to my seeds
We are not born of sin
This fear phantoms' cruel eye
With naturally selected grin
True spirit doesn't lie
We worship just our heart
Each day holds fresh new know
If we suffer as oppressed 
Still be your light to glow

Bring forth our intellect
Feed emotions matured
Define new perfect
Divined nature
Equal beings
Transcended ego
Magical meme
Shiva shanti dreamer
Good bonefide feel from soul
One greater good collective role
Control of inner balance still
Focused to breath we bend to our will
We've moved into this higher plane
Gone is confusion from physical pain
Ascended we are
Up to the ground
True spiritual God inside we found

Up to the Ground
