Dem Tod nochmal von der Schippe gesprungen, durch einen Sieg beim Tanzbattle mit dem Tod.
Escaped death once again, through a victory in the dance battle with death.

Tanz mit dem Tod

Retrieve Your Nails

A Collision of Events

This is a remix recording, with added instruments,  of an instrumental I shared some years back.

It was my tribute to Clifford T. Ward (1944-2001), a talented & underrated British singer-songwriter.  He recorded ten plus studio albums but only made the UK singles chart twice with “Gaye” & “Scullery”.   It was said that he would have had more commercial success were it not for his dislike of touring, public appearances, interviews etc.   His songs are on Spotify should anyone is interested.

This is my final entry of the year and will certainly share more music next year.
Thanks so much for your support.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

The Fleeting Moments

Here's the brief number four of Roger Quilter's cycle of Shakespeare Songs. The lyrics for this one however were falsely attributed to Shakespeare, the authorship is unknown. I think them beautiful nonetheless.

Piano by Helen Roberts

We hope you'll enjoy :)

lyrics

Take, o take those lips away,
That so sweetly were forsworn;
And those eyes, the break of day,
Lights that do mislead the morn:
But my kisses bring again;
Seals of love, but seal'd in vain, sealed in vain.

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – production, mix, and mastering

This song began with Chris composing it with his synth, guitar, drum pad and bass. Like many of his songs, it was pretty well formed before the rest of the group got a hold of it. This song was part of a load of songs he shared with the rest of Eclectic Collective all at once. We've been picking them off one by one, though, as we're always grateful to Chris for sharing his magic with us.
  The odd sound of the rhythmic melody, which uses chromatic walks, immediately caught Josh's ears. It struck him as something the Doors might have come up with. So, he set about replacing Chris' simple bass line with something fancier, as well as coming up with the lead guitar for the whole thing, and the lyrics and vocals, as well. Josh was really taken with this one, and heard all kinds of parts in it almost immediately. Ken went to bat next, adding his innovative, John Densmore-like drums to it, replacing Chris' initial rhythmic idea. JJ came next and added the essential piano you hear throughout. After that, Mark found a place for his amazing bassoon/harpsicord solo in the middle. But before it was all over, Chris also added some doubled vocals, too, to actualize the lyrics, which are about two friends taking an acid trip together. 
  After it was all laid down, we asked Tez to mix it for us, which he did in his expert fashion, as always.
  This is our latest song composed by Chris, and we love working on his music. If you dig this, you should pay his page a visit, too, as it's full of diamonds. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by Josh Clary:
Come take a trip with me and together we will see
Into the end
Of time
That you are also me 
And I am also you
We’re in the soup
And in a loop

Underneath your skin 
You’re the same as I
Yet we strive  
To divide
If you want to blur the lines
Just dislodge yourself from time
Let’s fly
Let ego die


We’ll discover what is hidden,
And know why it’s forbidden 
So hold tight 
To what’s right
Just come along with me
And together we can see
Use the light 
Of night

You are also me and I am also you
It’s true
We’re in the stew
I am also you and you are also me
Just look inside 
And see
  
Just feel your temples squeeze
And put your mind at ease
And tune in
To my vibe
You can come along 
Just listen to the song
And melt 
With me

Down and down we go
We should take it slow
Unless we can’t 
We’re all ants
 I knew that we’d have fun
I knew you were the one
To do this with
Now we’re a myth

We could go all night 
Until the sun is bright
It’s a long 
Long ride

You are also me and I am also you
It’s true
We’re in the stew
I am also you and you are also me
Just look inside
And see

You Are Also Me (Eclectic Collective)

La groupie du pianiste

Listening to Christmas Songs.. I used to get Christmas blues really bad but not anymore. But heres proof that I did have a cynical side for a bit. I hope you can create some magic this year and be grateful for  what you have.

Ive seen the ads for the proper ways to show
I love you more than I did a year ago
Id prove it all with one visit to the mall

Oh what a joy, it's Christmas time again
Lets make it real this year and not pretend
we'll kneel to pray, and then jump up to spend
its Christmas time again...

Lets deck the halls and make spirits bright
its for the kids we wont spoil the fun tonight
it wont be long and we can all resume the fight

Oh what a joy, it's Christmas time again
Lets make it real this year and not pretend
we'll kneel to pray, and then jump up to spend
its Christmas time again...

Donner and Blitzen and what's his name
without those guys it just wouldn't be the same
sit down commiserate with rudy the red nosed barfly
there's always room...........for humble pie.


Oh what a joy, it's Christmas time again
Lets make it real this year and not pretend
we'll kneel to pray, and then jump up to spend
its Christmas time again...

Experimental ! Me and Mark Grimshaw, Indian blues. 0558.m4a

I'm a singer songwriter of travelling years with a little to say both emotionally and musically. 
I'm inspired by hope and the fight though the struggle in life ....
I found a home in Cornwall UK , where the creation of music is easy going...
May you find peace where you are too.
