I wanted to write a song about a sense of belonging, but not just about our place of birth since many people through circumstances of work, relationships and even political regimes find themselves making a home for themselves elsewhere. Sometimes we all need to know that we are wanted and welcome. Some places seem better than others at making people feel at home, by embracing a stranger without suspicion.

All that remains, 
Are the shipyard gates, 
And skeletal cranes, 
Of a bygone age, 
And a long-gone industry. 
You cannot live on heritage alone, 
Sometimes you need a place to call home. 

On New Year's Eve, 
Ships' horns distant sound, 
Echo another time, 
Heralds a new dawn, 
Uncertain and unfamiliar. 
You cannot live on history alone, 
Sometimes you need a place to call home. 

Reinvention, 
Regeneration, 
With a garden party, 
Our cultural city, 
It lives to fight another day. 
You cannot live on optimism alone, 
Sometimes you need a place to call home. 

So in exile, 
Some forty-five miles, 
Just like a prodigal, 
I return occasionally, 
Feeling proud and respectfully, 
I cannot stay far away for too long, 
Sometimes you need a place to call home.

A Place To Call Home

Dear listener, thanks for visiting my site. You'll find some of my Demo Songs, some of them finished, some are work in progress. Some have been recorded about 30 years ago. I then stopped recording for about 3 decades beeing busy with my job and family.  I felt there was always something missing that’s why I started recording again in the winter of 23/24. All these works are far from being perfect but come from deep inside my heart. I appreciate your support and feedback and I enjoy listening to your music equally cause there is so much talent and dedication to be found on this platform.

 In peace and respect and dedication, Andreas

welcome to the psychedelic world peace corps page
this is where I will repost and share your tracks..
will be looking at sharing your older tracks as well
because I think its a good way of getting older songs that people have missed back in the activity stream..
to share is to care and please check out my main soundcloud page Jim Manser

Wallowing in the warmth of lower mids and melancholic melody.
Recorded, mixed and mastered on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio using vintage gear gathered over many years.


Take a large bucket. Add a pint of Neil Young, a pinch of Glen Hansard. Wack in a tea spoon of Damien Rice, then an ickle bit of Tom Mcrae. Shove in a hand full of Mike Scott, a heaped table spoon of Neil Finn and a large dollop of Conor J. O'Brien. Mix with a big stick then strain through an old sock. Pour. What you have is a little bit of Mr C.

Hello good people of the cloud.
I play everything in real time and record and master on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio. Although three of the older songs on here where recorded on a 8 track tape recorder through an old seck analogue desk.
No pc's are used or abused in the process of me music making. I love tactile recording. Switches, faders, pots and buttons. Mouses are for computers and eating cheese. No Mac, Daws or Windows, Midi or overused plugins. And no automated mixing, compromise being a large part of my final sound.

Hope you enjoy some of the music that I make, please feel free to share and comment.

We' re deeply lovers of music, of many different genres: from classical and opera to rock, progressive rock, psychedelic, jazz, fusion, tango, dreampop, ambient, experimental  and beyond...
We' re trying at the moment to find our identity and expressivity in our favourite musical world:
progressive rock.
Comments, exchange of opinions, observations, advice are always welcome.
We're also on You Tube if you feel like to pass by...
Thank you for attention and feedback, I like to answer everyone, if sometimes I'm a little slow is because I lke to listen to your work while I answer.
I really like reposting the tracks I liked on our personal profile but obviously I can't keep them more than a few days.

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
