Nicolas Project

An extended version of a song that I adapted for an intermission video for Furality Somna, which was played between events both on stream and in-world on video screens. The video is my first proper music video, recorded through motion capture entirely in VRChat, and features a toy spider waking up at night and finding a dream world. The video can be watched on my YouTube channel.

Wrong

the parkway is the only Road tonight that I'm taking/ drifting off for an hour going further/ further from the start
somehow I've tricked myself again/ into thinking someone would care if I'm gone (but I'm wrong)
it weighs heavy on my heart

my closet is empty no more posters on my walls/ the batteries in the Crockett died/ let it hang there till it falls/ my closet is empty/ nothing's left in there at all/ telephone wires on the ground not that anyone should call

I'd rather live my life alone
and wander the open road than to stay here with a certainty to explode
now where the sun sets in the west
let the flames lick my face
it's where I'll call my home

it was so beautiful/ but the bright lights all blacked out/ it was so beautiful



me and steve chernish = killme, killroy. writing credits to rob hartman.

Telephone Wire

I've been recording mostly cover songs and decided to finally do my own songs. This is the first (for Sönderrevet). I had the idea that the songs should have a "Film Noir" theme and be about characters in trouble, so I just started to write these lines... 

Been gunned down
Out on a limb
There is a world of shadows
calling again
I know it's so hard
to take it on the chin
and her hope is
starting to wear thin

I've seen her
trying to save face
with a clenched fist
just withering away
And there is no point
in hiding the pain
It got me so down,
like standing in the rain

Childhood

WE is you and WE is me, we is more than family. It's gonna take WE to give a dam as the world is changing. Together we can weather the storms of time.

Sheena wrote this lyric as a response to this turbulent year (2020) and the realisation that only together can we change anything and that "We" is inclusive.

I like music of the seventies and eighties a lot. I took my favorite weapon and composed and played this instrumental as a peaceful guitar warrior.

"One doesn’t need to become a peaceful warrior. By virtue of living here, on planet Earth, each and every one of us is a peaceful warrior in training — to the degree that we strive to live with a more peaceful heart… but also recognize that there are times we need to live with a warrior spirit." --Dan Millman

Peaceful Warrior - Nicolas Project

I combined hammond organ, guitars and flute. 
I love playing real instruments. 

On Love Lock Bridge, you can seal your love and throw away the key.
After a few years most of the locks are removed, but real love and hope always survive.

Love is the key

Love Lock Bridge - Nicolas Project

Inspired by the  Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar. 
One of the world wonders for sure, this Pagoda shows only marvelous beauty.
We re-recorded this instrumental piece with a full band.

Pagoda - Nicolas Project

The flute is a fantastic instrument for rock?
I think it is.

Aqua Longing - Nicolas Project

A funky song about how the quirky rambles of life and love are more important in the end than the bright dazzling beginnings.

The Fire - Nicolas Project

Nick McAlley is a singer-songwriter , multi-instrumentalist and music teacher. He records and produces his own music in his little studio in Belgium. He plays the guitars, bass, drums, sax, flute, keyboard, harmonica, mandolin. 
He is on tour with his music in Holland, Belgium and Germany, entertaining listeners and linedancers at every concert. 
He is influenced by many styles, but country music is one of his favorites. In the seventies he was a member of Dizzy Man's Band, in the eighties he played in theatres in in 3 musical productions. 
In this millennium he started his own act as a solo-performer. He recorded 4 albums and 1 single so far. 
Being an optimist he knows that you will take some time to listen to his heartfelt music. Better an optimist who is wrong , than a pessimist who is right....

I am a pro musician and multi-instrumentalist and singer. 
My main instrument is the tenor sax though. 
I was a member of a famous Dutch band, the Dizzy Man's Band. 
I played in big theatre shows and musicals and later on had a solo career as Nick McAlley.
 I still feel the urge to write and record my own music.  
 I thank you for taking the time to listen!  Especially if you're an old soul with a young heart.

We Is You , We Is Me
