Nouveautés : Folk et auteur-compositeur

Freestyled, Live-looped Vocal Track I created that was luckily recorded during a gig I played many years ago at Mojos, Fremantle Western Australia. 
 
It was the end of my set as an opening artist for the gig that night and I sang to an empty room with a heavy heart feeling sad that no one had turned up yet as my set time was too early for the friday night crowd.

Only the bar staff and the sound guys were in the room to witness the creation of the best song i have ever produced. I closed my eyes, put down my guitar and opened the channel for my soul to tell a story. The legend at the sound desk recorded this majik moment without my knowing, for which I am so grateful.

It is with great happiness that I finally feel ready to share this song with you for it truely is the song of my hearts journey to find Home.

This is the original recording unmastered, live and freestyled of the moment. This track was recorded so long ago that my stage name was not yet known to be Nomadikha as you will hear at the end.

...HOME...

Friends of mine asked if their daughter could come into the studio to record a song for her grandfathers 70th birthday. I have to say I was blown away with her rendition of this classic folk song, I've heard interpretations of this song from the likes if Eva Cassidy, Johnny Cash & Emmylou to name a few & to my mind this version sits up there & holds it's ground with any of those.. Please enjoy "Lily - Wayfaring Stranger"

We’re All Gonna Die

Art work by Majali Design

Light the sea 

When the night surprises me
that I am not sleepy alone 
then I defy time 
I implore the return of the sun 
and I think of the one who is missing 
that gives me wings

when the wind tells me
what it sees from the sky
these hatreds as old as the world 
that flow like rivers of shame
so I look at the one that counts 
and it gives me wings 

when my soul is adrift
I sail on a drunken boat
she is my lighthouse I rely on her
to light the sea, to show me the sky 

when life torments me
when questions fly in the air
when words lose their meaning
when expectations remain vain
then I look at the one I love 
so that she opens her wings to me

when my soul is lost and capsizes
when in the distance I can no longer see the shore 
she is my lighthouse I rely on her
to light the sea, to show me the sky

Eclairer La Mer (translated lyrics)

Mnà Na Héireann (Women of Ireland), Traditional, on Irish whistle.

Mná Na Héireann

Sometimes quite mellow & reflective, sometimes edgy & rugged...'like the tough and vulnerable gravitas of Johnny Cash with the pleasing feel of Tom Russell' (R2 Magazine Rock 'n' Reel) or even a Scottish Steve Forbert - a mercurial melting pot of ideas and styles.

You gotta hear this guy! He’ll feel like your long lost friend, you will feel like you know him, because Davy Cowan is authentic through and through! Wonderful artist, check him out! (Martin Stephenson, The Daintees)
