What a gem, not sure why I missed this one. Sweet find.. great work to all involved.

@jeremyjsaks: Thank you so much, you are very kind Jeremy. Best from us all

Melodic and warm vocals, such a dreamy piece - beautifully played. A really enjoyable collab!

You're making this style all your own Mark. Lovely offbeat vocal.

Lovely song. Love the production and double-tracked vocals that make an appearance too.

beautiful voice… nice piano and guitar sound!! good city photo jacket and relaxation track!☺!

Ce que j'aime quand je viens sur ta page, c'est que je suis toujours sûr d'y trouver un peu de quiétude, et ça fait toujours beaucoup de bien. Ne change rien. (please, never do black metal ^^)

After our first collaboration https://soundcloud.com/markjbennett/an-angel-passed-by-tom-regnier-and-mark-j-bennett-1 I was pleased when Tom https://soundcloud.com/tom-r-gnier offered me a wonderful piece (with the same title) to make into a song. He suggested that I didn't think too much about the meaning, just about the feeling. This was good advice as it almost wrote itself, based around almost rhymes of the word 'deposit'. Once we had the basis it made perfect sense to invite Jussi https://soundcloud.com/juswel to add some great guitar throughout. I owe a huge thank you to Tom and Jussi for this opportunity.
Hope you enjoy our song, thanks for listening.

I need a soul deposit,
Some joy inside my wallet.		
Life’s gonna get good for me!

I know joy’s here because it’s
Gonna flow just like a faucet.
Life’s gonna get good for me!

Don’t need to write a sonnet,
It’s happenin’, an’ I ain’t no prophet.
Life’s gonna get good for me!

Heart’s locked up in a locket,
Don’t care, if I’m bein’ honest
Life’s gonna get good for me!

I need a soul deposit,
A little joy inside my pocket.
Life’s gonna get good for me!

Gonna get good,
Gonna get good,
Right here, 
Somethin’s happenin’

Nostromo [First Contact] (Netdiver Remix)

Phil McC (aka Waveology)is a talented keyboard player, and he offered this piano improvisation for me to engage with a melody and lyric. Although Phil went on to experiment with a band arrangement (https://soundcloud.com/philmcc-1/place-i-go-ft-terry-wigmore-jazz-orchestra-arrangement), I was always partial to the piano's simplicity and the space it afforded the vocal to sit in an imagined lounge, and that was the sound that inspired the lyrics.  So, with the last breath of autumn, it seemed to be a fitting time for a melancholic muse in Phil's lounge, a darkened room, a half consumed whisky (Crown Royal) in one hand, a mic in the other, cue the music, Phil...

LYRICS ...

Hmmmm...the places I go
To try to get you off my mind,
It's no good, though I try.
The mem'ries, oh the memories of you,
And the places we used to go.
Every place I go,
Every shop I see,
Every window I turn to,
Every crack in the sidewalk
Reminds me of you
hmmmm letters carved in trees
Those benches that were meant for you and me
But it's all gone,
All gone, all gone, all gone, now,
Blown away in the breeze,
The falling leaves
Drifting down the river of Time
We're drifting,
Yeah we're drifting
We're like leaves that have fallen 
Drifting...
It's so hard for me to go,
To all the places, the places I know.
It's so hard for me to go,
To all the places, places I know...

Music has not come easily to me lately and so when I did eventually get round to writing something, Coronavirus - or C19 - rather inevitably played a large part in its creation.  This instrumental features the very talented Alba on guitar, who was an absolute joy to work with.  Please check out his version of our collaboration at https://soundcloud.com/user-775580590. I hope you are all safe and well - and enjoy what we have created here.

Spring Roll Skin

Doing this online electronic music production course, and this is the first track coming out of it. The basic adventure was to avoid playing real instruments.

Apologies that I haven't been active here for some time, needed a break and now this course keeps me busy. I know that I have missed a truckload of cool songs, but I will catch up with them soon, promise!

The Mental State ft. Holden & The Caulfields

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 15 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
