Love the guitar and the vocals; an excellent collab!

Hey,what a great song! Love it.Keep it up man

Great stuff...excellent acoustics and voice...

@a-wood: Thanks a lot - one of the first tunes I ever did, never managed to play it again! :-) Cara is superb on this, too.

enjoying the doubled-vocals approach - very cool vibe to this song...

My collabs with some of the wonderful artists on SoundCloud. In roughly reverse chronological order.

Collaborations


I am so honoured that the marvellously talented Liroj Anakarkis (https://soundcloud.com/lirojanakarkisthesecond) felt inspired to add his moving words and amazing vocals to my instrumental, Whitespace (https://soundcloud.com/kelvynt/whitespace). 

I really hope you enjoy this, it was a joy to produce, and I think Liroj has turned it into a lovely, lovely track. Please check out his page for some truly remarkable music - including songs by the mysterious Hidden Bear.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
As I stand swaying on the soil 
The flame's flickering in my soul 
No one to hear me sigh 
No eyes that will cry dry 
No hands to wave goodbye

As I wait for the night to soothe 
My wounded heart that you have fooled 
As I wait for the rain to drench 
Even the memory of your adorable stench 
Neither another lover 
Nor another vulture 
Nor another crèvecœur

Nothing can cut you out of my own picture 
I will bring you down in my sepulture

As I learn there will be no 
Glorious return in our heaven 
As I learn how to live low 
Whatever I learn I already know 
That neither another lover 
Nor another vulture 
Nor another crèvecœur

Nothing can fade you out.



Crèvecoeur feat. Liroj Anakarkis

A collab with a great singer/songwriter, @Chris-Moraites - please check out his page for more of his great work! I made this piece up in celebration of me finding a way to play a B7 chord, but it sounded odd as an instrumental. By pure coincidence, Chris asked if I had any tracks he could work with, so I sent him this. A few hours later, this was the result :-)

*********************************
Let's tie up the loose ends, let's throw out the trash
We don't need more obstacles in our path
This crooked road won't be the only road

The more that we run, the more that we hide
I'm searching and missing what seems to subside in our souls
And sometimes that's just how it goes.
Cause you won't find the answers before you're home

They'll cut your hair they'll change your clothes
They teach you only what they want you to know
'Cause this is not the time to be original

Broken hearts will leave weary legs
Who once was a master well now he begs
For the one who left him to the road

Once you're done feeling sorry for yourself
You'll realize that there's others to be helped.

Let's tie up the loose ends. lets throw out the trash
We don't need more obstacles in our path
'Cause there's so much work to be done

Huge thanks to the wonderful and unique talent of Liroj Anakarkis for adding his amazing vocals to my tune 'Dont Look Down' (https://soundcloud.com/kelvynt/dont-look-down-demo). I've lost count of the number of attempts at mixing this I've made, but hope you enjoy this one, and please check out his superb work!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now your spring has sprung right within me, from all darkened thoughts I am free
Now your smile is matted to mine, oh my cherished one I do shine

Look what you’ve done to me, you saved that worn wretched wreck I was
Dear what you’ve done to me, you stuck us together and saved my useless arse

Now my voice will chant your beauty, my burden of blame is empty
Now my eyes may stare everywhere, you’ll be the one that I see there

Look what you’ve done to me, you saved that worn wretched wreck I was
Dear what you’ve done to me, you stuck us together and saved my useless arse

Now my love let us sing along, we will make the earth quake with joy
Now my love let us sing along, we will wake up our closing eyes, hoy!

Look what you’ve done to me, you saved that worn wretched wreck I was
Dear what you’ve done to me, you stuck us together and saved my useless arse
                                                * * * *

Not Giving Up

How did we get here? you ask
I'm looking around at the pieces you smashed

You're not going to think your way out of this my friend
Because you thought your way into this my friend

What if I told you, you could make it far?
Why? Well, you've survived so far

How did we get here? you ask
I'm following you, running from my past

You're not going to think your way out of this my friend
Because you thought your way into this my friend

I'm not giving up
Just letting go
I'm not giving up
Just letting go

How did we get here? you ask
We were the ones who could outlast
What if I told you, we could make it far?
Why? Well, we've survived so far

You're not going to think your way out of this my friend
Because you thought your way into this my friend

Almost There

The description for this track keeps disappearing (thanks, SC!), so here it is again. This was an unplanned collab with the wonderful Cara Leigh (@caraleighmusic), who out of the blue offered to add vocals to my improvised 'rant'. And I'm so glad she did. The whole track was done and dusted in a couple of hours on a sunny Saturday afternoon in June.

This track means an awful lot to me, and it will always be my favourite. I hope you enjoy it too!

Do check out Cara's work - you won't regret it!
