Lovely piece, beautifully played - such a pleasant listen!

gorgeous & rich melody. love it👏👏🎉

Wonderful piece Liz!! So much passion on it! I love it so much!!

This is one of my favorite Raphael Muhr pieces.  A wonderful piano version you made here.

Wonderful interpretation and performance!

another beautiful song Liz, i love it, beautiful piano work.

Just beautiful Liz, & quite unique. Mostly traditional, but with some fascinating New Age-ish chord changes

Daily Drops

This song is a bit campy. The core of this thing is pure Isley Brothers' formula from the 70s -- they had these no nonsense, hard slamming funk songs that just went on forever (and you want them to). And there's also a healthy dose of 80s/90s slinky funk guilty pleasures like Grace Jones, Sade, & Seal.

is it finally living this feeling inside
I waited for hours with a slow burning fire
now is not the time to evade in the face of desire

but that's how it goes when you hold the control does it feel right
you're letting it go and I know that you know are you satisfied

the rules of the game are so easily changed
let's be honest about it lonely hearts will stray
I am still willing but your love is failing me every night

oh but that's how it goes when you're running the show  how you feel it
you're letting it go and I know that you know I can't steal it

out in the city new hearts align   
but tonight I am only alive for yours and mine

Ever since I saw an incredible Canadian band (Recipe From a Small Planet) do a live Reggae jam and seamlessly slide into a cover of 'Watching The Detectives', I wanted to try something similar. In this case, I did the opposite, starting with the cover, and adding a kinda reggae/dub section at the end, which starts at 3:15. 

For the dub portion, I enlisted the help of one of the best talents I know - @Llanpsych (Tez) - to add his magic and 'dubbify' the whole instrumental section at the end. I'm singing and playing all the instruments here using my keyboard, and some echo effects, and Tez did the rest to produce that authentic dub atmosphere into the mix. I recommend listening to that part at least with headphones, and hope you enjoy the result! Thanks so much Tez, I couldn't have done this without your mad skillz!

Sharp ears may notice the following 2 details: 

  -  In the last few seconds, I threw in the theme from 'The Godfather', played on melodica (see credit below). 

  -  at 0:39, you can faintly hear my dog barking in the background. I decided to keep it in, since she barked at the line, "red dogs under illegal legs", which I thought was funny timing!  :)

INSTRUMENTS:
bass, drums, rhythm & lead guitar, organ, piano, electric piano, melodica, steel pan drums, ukulele, synth horns, voice

A song about the ultimate bond, one of unconditional love and complete surrender.

Umbilical Love

I have the pleasure sharing with you a piece by Raphael Muhr! Some time ago he was so kind to let me have the score of this piece and also his orchestral recording, as I liked it so much...
Just recently I came across his piece, and decided to make my own arrangement of it, of course his melody has been entirely kept as was written!
My warmest thanks go out to him....

To listen to more of his music....

Planet Confusionn is a Jazz Fusion track and collaboration between myself and good friend John Corsaro. John sent me the track played as a single take, I then added everything else and mixed it, eventually producing what we have here. 
John is an incredible drummer and percussionist and it is my great honour to be able to join with him again on this track. The track was originally recorded around ten years ago.
Thanks for listening and hopefully get some enjoyment from doing so.

Can't you see

Modulations Crépusculaire ....
Au sens propre de l'expression : Petits cercles abaissés au-dessous de l'horizon, que l'on peut observer souvent, où le soleil disparu n'éclaire plus la terre que par les reflets du ciel ….
Au sens figuré: Formes de déclin ou aussi d'altérations transitoire de la conscience, comme un somnolence qui peut envahir celle-ci.
Musicalement pourrez vous en définir le sens ici?

Modulations Crepuscular ....
In the literal sense of the expression : Small circles lowered below the horizon, which can often be observed, where the sun has disappeared, illuminating the earth only through the reflections of the sky ....
Figuratively: Forms of decline or even transient alterations of consciousness, such as a drowsiness that can invade it.
Musically, can you define the meaning here?

this one pretty much wrote itself when i found myself staring at a blank sheet of paper for ages,
tapping my pen annoyingly and waiting for something to happen........a live take with a bit of piano........cheers for having a listen......



           PEN TO PAPER 
 
my pen can write a letter of love
describe to you the stars above
congratulate you on your gain
comfort you when your in pain

console you in your time of need
tell you that you're loved indeed
but if i told you how i feel today
my pen would be cruel

my pen can sign my life away
to own a house i'll never pay
then write it in a thank you note
for the monstrous debt that i now owe

my pen has got me in trouble deep
sometimes so much i cannot sleep
if i were to write about myself
my pen would be cruel

i don't pretend to understand
what's going on upstairs
i just try to keep it to myself
sometimes it's better, to hide it all away
i know to you that that don't make much sense

my pen can tell you how and why
my love for you could never die
write the words with even flow
so you would never have to know

my pen is guarded at the gate
it hides my secrets can't escape
and if they did then you would know
my pen can be so cruel

misanthropy, philanthropy, 
evilness and empathy    
my pen belongs in their mirrored halls
it's inky eye looks through them all

there's nothing it can't see right through
the things you thought that no one knew
now written there right in front of you
the pen can be so cruel

my pen can talk what i can't speak
and go where i don't want to be
from a prison cell to a sunburst sky
turn the truth against a lie

write a wrong into a right
turn a long day into night
the burden can be so heavy
when the pen can be so cruel

Pen To Paper
