Smooth Jazz🐡

I've got a Ambient Nu-Jazz album out on Bandcamp if you'd like to preview or buy a HD audio copy if you feel the love :)    ( https://markyd1.bandcamp.com/album/midnight-mood ) .The full album (128kbps version) is available on Soundcloud here to listen to via the player. This album I guess you could say comes under the jazz genre although this time I've gone more ambient and dreamy in style. It's a nice one to unwind to ,chill out and forget about your worries and stresses. I really hope you like this one, it's a different direction for me. Anyways cheers - Mark :)

Midnight Mood (album)

Bedtime for Businessman

If it were me, I’d ask you how your day has gone
If it were me, I’d listen as you carried on
And I would cherish all you say and do,
You’d tell me all your dreams,
I would make them all come true

And every day I’d tell you that you’re beautiful
Like how your eyes sparkle when you smile
And you should   know, for the first time in my life
 How I feel alive, and you were right here all the while
 
If it were me, you’re longing for

His love for you is fleeting and untrue
 A flash in the pan; he’ll soon disappear
And when you’re blue, i’ll be here for you
 Like I will be throughout the years
 
But it’s not me, I’m not the one your heart beats for
 Hard as I try, I’ll never be who you adore
And is that fair? Am I destined just to be
A friend that’s by your side
 While I keep it all inside?
‘cause it’s not me you’re longing for
A shoulder for your tears
A smile to ease  your fears
  That’s all I’ll ever be

if it were me

💖🌈💖"It Takes Guts To Be Gentle & Kind"💖🌈💖

Lyrics;
I didn't ask to be here
But I don't want to leave
They say you won't find Heaven
If you don't believe

I wake up every morning
my body feeling sore
And I still have no idea
what this life is for

Memories crawling forward
From way back in my mind
Like bugs from out of nowhere
That I can't leave behind

I heard the Word as I grew up
But folks would read it differently
Now I don't know who's right or wrong
Guess we'll just have to wait and see

I didn't ask to be here
But I don't want to leave
Can you stumble into Heaven
If you don't believe

See things on the news
Spun and twisted for more views
The misery can sometimes get a bit
much to me

See places that I'll never go
Edited for prime time shows
The hardships and the poverty

They didn't ask to be there
And they can't seem to leave
But can find their way to Heaven
If they just believe

But the world can be so wonderful
So I go outside to get my fill
Of trees and grass and clouds and sky
As raindrops fell before my eyes

And the world can be cold and dark
And lightning's bound to leave a mark
Back to the shelter of my home
Watch through the window till the storm is gone

Too much time I have to think
I feel my feelings start to sink
Those creeping bugs soon return
With ghosts of the past and lessons learned

No, I didn't ask to be here
But I sure don't want to leave
How can anyone find Heaven
If they don't believe?

Kool & Klean Jazz Mix Tribute (Part 1)

Hi, I'm a keys player and I like making up grooves to existing jazz and latin standards. Over the last few years I've been mainly working on original numbers.

It's just me in the music you hear, I play all the parts off a keyboard recording in midi and layer up into the finished version.

I started playing the piano as a kid , then took up the trombone and played for fun in various local amateur bands and orchestras. Then at 18 went to college and didn't do anything  musically  for many years. Started playing the saxophone and tuba more recently, and in the last four years or so got back into the keyboard which is now my main instrument.

I like making up jazzy  late night music & music you can listen to when travelling. Sounds like a strange thing but I find the most enjoyable part of a holiday is the travelling part, whether that's on a plane , train or even a car on a quiet road with some nice views. Looking through a window with a changing view, in a bubble of suspended time between two worlds, that's what travelling feels like to me, and I like to write music that sounds that way - http://soundcloud.com/markd54321/361-stolen-moments-320kbps . Can't really explain it any better than that for now. Cheers Mark
