Beautiful atmospheric track, the vocals and guitar fit perfectly!

Beautiful track ! 🙏 💐 😍 🍀 🎧 🎶 

The vocal melody sounds a bit prog rock ... a bit of Crimson :) 

I think I am late to the party on this one, Mark. What a successful collaboration of voice and   electronic melancholy! Your lyrics are a great fit.

@sararaion: FloHbold is a great collaborator. You should work with him as he plays from the heart

I wouldn't change a thing, 
But life's not like that anymore, 
And all that it seems to bring, 
Leaves us washed up on the shore.

Is it for life, will it be right? 
Is it for real, what do I feel?

What's happening to our spark, 
Can I still light your flame? 
Now that we're lost in the dark, 
And who is to blame?

Was it Just me, why can't you see? 
I need to know, where do we go?

I wouldn't change a thing...
And all that it seems to bring...
I wouldn't change a thing.

I Wouldn't Change A Thing/Collaboration with Sesar & Flohbold

Listen closely and all shall be revealed. Working on meditative field recording and improvisational music using non-instruments the turning those sounds into production in the studio. Adding themes where necessary. All of this in response to the rigid forms of recording my latest guitar-driven album. see animations and more musical experimentation on on Instagram @f.anthony_shepherd links in bio

De Toutes Les Couleurs

Well, probably the last track for the Rotherweird project. It's been fun...

Calx Bole (Into The Hole)

«Nevsky Wind». Op.115-d.

“Dear Tom”

How’s the retirement, Tom?
Why now so quiet, dear Tom?
You’ve a cozy, small place here
Where a man could disappear
	Is that what you’re doing, Tom?

Do you get visitors,
Or only the odd, lost bird?
Friends are a blessing,
But even friendship’s passing.
	Do you have friends, dear Tom?

Where’re your pictures?
Don’t you have children?
Well, didn’t you marry?
Man, you’re just like a pilgrim!
Searching your life
Through the flowers and barbs,
Searchin’ alone under your very own star!

Did you get lonely?
What did you do then?
Did you have family?
Well, why didn’t you call them?
I’m sure they’d have loved
To hear from their uncle—
A family together
Lends old age a pleasure!

Listen’t’me blather, Tom,
I don’t mean to nag ya’, dear Tom.
The truth’s I admire you
And all that you’ve lived through.
	You’ve lived quite a life, dear old Tom

How did you do it, Tom?
What were you trying to prove?
Seventy years
And six careers
	I can understand why you’re so tired...


From a cop to an actor,
From a ref to a coach,
Have you ever considered
All the lives that you’ve touched?
Don’t be so modest
I speak from experience
An honest man like you makes a difference!

I should be going
It’s nearly past sundown
But I’ll visit again
Next time I am in town
Never you doubt it
I will return soon
As sure as I draw breath
And you lie in this tomb...

I won’t forget you...won’t forget you...won’t forget...

Dear Tom

Apologies to my French speaking SC friends, that's how we say your word here, and of course my little pun wouldn't work. But feel free to mispronounce any English word you like. I won't mind :)

Once the list was long
Mapping out my business
Now I sit here in my pants
Feeling more than listless

I used to have direction
My own personal sat nav
Now I sit here by the radiator
Having days like cats have

Ennui, Ennui, On we drift through our days

I used to be a doer
Doing it until it was done
Now there's nothing more than nothing
So nothing is the total sum

Once I knew waht the day was
I miss that Friday feeling
Now I wake up at midday
For more staring at the ceiling

Might watch a bit of TV
Yeah I'll put it on my list
Or look in all the dirty corners
Try and find what I've missed

Might look at the old collection
Do some alphabetising
Just got to get out of this bed
Is it time yet for rising?

Ennui

Mutated Toenail vs Rōnin Dust [part 2]

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
