Calm instrumental inspired by the beauty in Nordic winter. As Finland, where I live, is on the Arctic Circle the winter is dark time. It can drive one into a melancholy mood. But through melancholy there is beauty and that is what this song "Arctic" portraits.

Next stop the future! All aboard for a sensational track that gets the blood pumping.  This project was short sweet and to the point and it knew what it wanted to be early on. Drums and lead from the Synthstrom Deluge, chords and melody from the Arturia Microfreak, arpeggiated bass from the Novation Ultranova. Music video on YouTube

My Song 3 (ode to the frog king)

Rettin

Thanks Degs for allowing me to write this deeply personal song for my Mom (Thelma)to this Track.  The cruelty of Dementia has no bounds and everyone affected would turn the clock back in a heartbeat. That's the theme here.

When it Began (lyrics).....

I wake up every morning and
Hope that there's a smile upon your face
But deep inside 
The feelings rise
and tell me that somehow
I lost my faith

I shielded my eyes
I bowed my head and walked away

I don’t know how it all began
I don’t know how to
Make a happy end

Your candlelight was burning bright
Nothing could extinguish your sweet flame

And if you could just return today
Then we can just forget
When it began

A call an invocation and
Hope someone out there can hear 
my prayer

But what my heart can’t understand
Is why no answers 
come to stem your tears

But if I could find some explanation
We can just forget that it began

When it Began

All your lights were burning bright
All your expectations and your dreams


You always held me oh so close
Always tried to chase away my fears

Now at the time you need me most
You're so out of reach but I’m right here

When It Began (Song for Thelma)

Eight days after I listened to this song, my mother came and asked me to play it again. Two days after that, she said to me that she had heard a wonderful song a long time ago. It was clear to me that the time had come when she would see everything only through fog. It was this song: https://youtu.be/izsjRpcgfmk. The Empire of Angels had impressed her so much that she had decided for herself to go there. Then, a year and six months later, she had arrived. She must be happy there. 

I don't quite reach the quality of a master, but one evening she knocked quietly on my door and asked what I was going to do. Rattling keys she would hear. I told her that I was trying to create my own interpretation of that very song. She sat down next to it, listened........and said, "Thank you!"

Those were the last words I heard from her. Before she flowed over into the realm of the angels. This, my interpretation, lies since then fallow on a data medium. Now again. Here on this, a server somewhere in the world. Slightly edited I now release this song to the realm of the angels, that she may hear it...

To my dear Mom.

INTRODUCING “MADEGO”
Hello soundcloud dudes  MADEGO (mad-ego) is/ are Derek Evans and Deon Ashton. We met whilst posting our original songs over at MP3Unsigned.com. It was only recently that we came together and realised that we had very similar musical tastes, and that we could marry our two styles together to form what you will find here. 
We both find melodic rock/pop, song with strong melody, harmony and good writing a real buzz and aspire to achieve these qualities, though you will have to judge to what extent we do so.  So, yeah, we are both really excited about this new found partnership (Feb2012) and are putting together (we feel) some nice catchy tunes which we hope to get critiqued on the site. We really do value your comments and advice on our new musical adventure. And as with most of us, this is all homespun stuff, so we appreciate all help in making the tunes as best we can.
So sincere and big thanks to you for all for dropping by and listening
All the Best
Degs & Deon (MADEGO)
