What a great song. The brass intro melody and then running throughout so perfect. Is that a banjo? Love that as well. Fab vocal and harmonies for the superb lyrics.

Has a classic timeless feel, top live performance here!

Very great song. Congratulations 🙏😀👏

Very cool! Love everything about this. The vocals are perfect with the throwback rhythm

The Final Wager

Steer me in the right direction and I'll go
And I won't stop until I find
A bridge across the wind, passage through the rain
A workaround to buy us some more time

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

Sort me out so I can be the kind of guy
That you would proudly call your own
The stupid things I do will not embarrass you
And you will never be alone

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

Wind me up and I will walk the straightest line
A gauntlet of our enemies around
But just one look at me, they'll part like the red sea
And we will walk across the ground

The final wager
We'll run the table
And love will win at last

Mike Benoit is a wonderful sound artist who reached out to me this year with the idea of taking some raw improv piano playing and reworking them to produce original tracks. This appealed to me because 1 - I ain't the greatest piano player so this was flattering and 2 - I spend so much of my time reworking other peoples sounds it would be awesome to be on the receiving end for a change : ) .The album features 4 tracks, each one originally recorded on a different piano then given the treatments by Mike.

Preview: Mike Benoit & Mat Ward - Reconfigured Combinations

Tall dark trees and windswept fields on a winters day.

Mostly just me playing about, but there's a bit of Charlie Villiers' guitar in there too, notably giving the outro a little touch of class.

~Lyrics~
We were sitting in your back garden 
Clouds were drifting across the sky 
You turned to me and smiled
I think you had a tear in your eye
And then taking my hand you whispered,
“When I get this high,
I sometimes get the feeling I might be just about to die!”

Then with a shrug of your shoulders 
You told us about the butterflies
That there’s no way of them knowing
That their wings look like eyes
And if you consider the caterpillar
It’ll come as no surprise
Just how very little we all know about our lives

[Chorus]
Baby you kill me, all night long
Baby you’re killing it all night…

Later on that evening
the sun was streaming through the trees
You have to just surrender to life
At moments like these
We were kicking through the fallen leaves
In the pale winter sun
And though I tried to hide it, I always knew this day would come

I recall the very moment 
You didn’t even hesitate
It was written in the heavens
And written all over your face
But the storm is in the distance
The sky is a luminous pink
You can lead me like a horse to water…

[Chorus]
🎸 🤩

Baby You Kill Me

Haunted Memories (Richsoundz, John Stone)

Performed & Produced by John Stone
Music John Stone
Lyrics Richsoundz, John Stone


All my thoughts, they're still bearing traces
Your face  imprinted deep upon my mind
And your melodic, lilting voice
Like I ain't really got no choice
They're staying here inside me for all time

Even when I lay me down to sleep
You're stalking all my dreams
I  can't leave you behind
Everywhere I  see the signs
You're always present and won't let me be
Your spirit follows me
Through the halls of haunted memories

All my thoughts past events they're chasing
With you beside me everywhere I go
Your perfume always trailing me
And everywhere your face I see
There’s nowhere I can go that you don’t show

Even when…


I never saw it come to this:
What started with a simple kiss
Then love grew and we thought we knew
That life was long if love was true
But that was never meant to be 
When fate took you away from me
Till death us part our sacred vow 
But though you’re gone I see you now

Your spirit  follows  me
Through the halls of haunted memories 
Your spirit follows me
Through the halls of haunted memories 
Your spirit …

Lyrics:

Rain

Rain is right
Right as rain
Rain is right
Right as rain

Last night you went sleepwalking in the storm
I heard your muddy feet coming in the doorway
Open eyes but blind you were carrying water
And you woke me up with kisses and you went on your way
You left me here with nothing, nothing to say 
But thank you for giving me a midnight taste of

Rain is right
Right as rain
Rain is right
Right as rain

I feel like I've been sleeping through my days
You loom larger now that you've gone away
I can hear you whispering hurricanes
And you wake me up with kisses then you go on your way
You leave me here with nothing, nothing to say
But thank you for filling up the ice cube tray with

Rain is right
Right as rain
Rain is right
Right as rain

Not What You Were Hoping For?

Bit of a mixed bag of styles and genres…
consistently amateur and homemade though… and just for the fun of it!

Half the songs here are just me noodling away on my own… (using garageband on my ipad, headphones, and a couple of cheap old guitars).

…the other half are recorded during very occasional jam sessions with some lovely talented old friends, who bring my song ideas to life, spontaneously, usually one-take, having never heard them before.

hope you enjoy a song or two,

Kelvin

(by the way, I know I'm really not any good at mixing, mastering, production etc... I don't have any equipment or knowhow! ... so I think all these tunes will sound better on headphones 👍 cheers)
