another great song Mark. 🎵 👌 👏 Johnny

Thanks for listening! This is a lesser-known piece written by the Eric Roche (1967-2005) that I recorded in my living room. The audio is taken from a live video of me playing it which can be viewed on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfI1GINTHY8.

Angel (Eric Roche)

This is the fourth single from my debut album, which is due out on Sept 29th.  
It's about how we can be too hash on ourselves and are often comparing our lives on social media.  This song is about accepting our flaws and imperfections, but not focusing on them.

Take It Easy

If The Stars Are The Dreams of Spacemen

Written by Brian Reeves, August-October 1972
Recorded in a New Malden bedroom, October 1973

Another bedroom demo, recorded around the same time as “And I Never Took You To A Festival”.  As with many of these old recordings, the tape was pretty mangled at the end so hope you won’t mind the attempt at masking this in the best way I could.  Hope it doesn’t impair your enjoyment too much.  I 'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been such a supporter of this page over the last 18 months or so.  Our family has been astounded by  all the support and We need to you all to know that every one of your kind words means the whole world.  You are the kindest of people and we will never forget the support you have given.  You have hearts the size of lions.  It means everything.  Our deep love and appreciation can never be enough to repay you all..
  (Gary Reeves)

Lyrics:

Knowing love as I do
Yes I’m frightened
Desperate gasps of conversation
Fears heighten
If I’m only the dreams of dreamers
Why am I in isolation?

Seeing life as I do
Yes I’m whitened
Seeking masts on horizons
Pains tighten
If the stars are the dreams of spacemen
Where am I in heaven’s tracing?

I am the hammer on closed doors and windows
Asking the question that nobody knows

Breathing songs as I do
Yes I’m lightened
But they’re only gaps in vacuums
Freak lightning
Inside dreams of dreams of dreamers
Outside schemes of schemes of schemers
Who Am I?


If The Stars Are The Dreams Of Spacemen - Rocky Mountain (1973)

With a wide and varied musical style, Marks music takes you on a journey through emotive delicate songs to punchy percussive guitar riffs.  Using modern fingerstyle guitar techniques to create a sound that evokes intimate uplifting feelings with heart felt lyrics, often inspired by personal experiences and the natural environment.  Taking influences from musicians such as John Butler, Xavier Rudd, Ben Howard, and Fink to name just a few. 
After several radio plays on BBC introducing, and being tipped off as being "one to watch" from Matt Tancock, Mark's new album titled 'Roots & Wings' is due to be released in September 2023.
