LYRICS

I kept the beat in time, no rhyme nor reason
hold on tight then let it go
If you wanna know why it scares you so
then let it go

And if you wanna be, sat here next to me
Then that's alright to make it so
But if you ever try, to find the reasons why
Then let it go

Sail the night away, take a chance to let it stay
hold on tight then let it go
And if you wanna see, what it means to me
Hold on tight then let it go

You know that in the end, there's no reason 
Took a chance then let it go
You see it's up to me, how I wanna be
So let it go

Sail the night away, take a chance to let it stay
hold on tight then let it go
And if you wanna see, what it means to me
Hold on tight then let it go

Hold the beat in time, no rhyme nor reason
held on tight then let it go
Because I always knew, what it is you'd do
I let it go

Sail the night away, took a chance to let it stay
Held on tight then let it go
So if you wanna see, what it means to me
Hold on tight then let it go


Let It Go (Remix)- Feat. Tante Meli.

If there was only two traits that came through in my music, I would hope that it would seem to be effortless and inevitable.
The Kind Place Studio

I compose, play and record all my own songs and tunes and do it solely for the enjoyment of doing so. I like many styles of music and compose many styles of music (or at least try). My first and true love will always be electric guitar and my all time hero is Jimi but any type or style of music that stirs an emotion or reaction gets my vote.

I am quite a private person so putting some personal stuff "out there" was a big step for me but my sincere thanks to anyone who takes the time and trouble to listen and I have found nothing but kindness so far on Soundcloud.

I very much started out playing instruments very late in life, and spent much of my earlier days listening to it, rather than playing it. I am very much a self taught musician and regard my instruments very much like implements, tools or devices to write with, rather than being anything remotely near a good playing musician of any great technique. 

I guess I really got into instruments more back in 1994 when I got into my first band (though I did learn to play the Harmonica when I was 8 years old) it was around this time I wrote a song on the Guitar entitled Oldtime Street. The song is very much even today one that contains some of the finest lyrics I have ever written, and very much perhaps inspired me to carry on.

Though the band back in 1994 was a very short affair, it was not long after I got into a R&B band performing Rock & Blues in various pubs around my own town Birmingham. I was very much the lead singer in this outfit which lasted some 6 years. Though during these years the band had gone through several line up and name changes and came to a stop in 2001. I suppose it was a bit of relief in a sense, because it's quite easy to put a band together, but murder to keep everyone happy, and keep it going.

Even though I only really did Vocals and played my Harmonica in the band, I still found time now and then, for my guitar, and my keyboards at home, and I also contributed in a big way to our own compositions in the band.

My tools are as follows:

Studiologic VMK-188 Plus 88 Key Midi Controller Keyboard.

Yamaha PSR E303 61 Key Keyboard (Used Via Midi)

Yamaha F310 Acoustic Guitar.

Yamaha ERG121 Electric Guitar.

Encore E4 Bass Guitar.

Various Harmonicas in many Keys.

Alesis Performance Pad Pro Drum Machine & Pads. 

Audio Technica AT2020 USB Microphone.

Vic Firth Drum Sticks.

Various VST Software for Keyboards, Guitars & Mixing.

Cubase 5.

Ableton Live 8.

Steinberg Wavelab.

Influences are from mainly 70's Prog/Rock/Blues/Traditional Folk/Electronic Music.                    

I am just like you. Finding my way along…sharing my musical self with anyone who wishes to listen…and continuing to enjoy the musical creation process. To me…there is nothing cooler than listening to a song that didn't exist before you created it. 

I play piano…by ear…no lessons…no rules. I just play what comes.  I love to find simple melodies and listen to them grow…

I enjoy singing…and I thank all of the amazing artists on the Cloud that have written music for me to sing to.

I am mostly known for my lyrics. I am a writer. It's taken me 42 years to say that…but, that's who I really am. I am a lover of words and the way they can be manipulated to tell a story. The simpler the better…the more relatable the better. I have written many, many lyrics for Stefan (Rock Flexible) who has created some pretty awesome musical worlds for these lyrics to live in. 

That is who I am…

Good luck as you continue on with your own personal musical journey…

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
