Such a catchy tune! Love the piano in there and the vocals! This song definitely makes me want to go back to St. Augustine. 👍👍

I gotta say, Paul's voice is...interesting. Haha. But this song is good, rollicking fun. Nice work! Good collab!!

Sehr schön fließender, flotter, mitreißender Sound....

This should be St. Augustine's new travel bureau theme song, I want to go now!! Such great energy. Fantastic composition Martin and Paul, you project true passion for this place, a desperation that drives this track in a way that matches Martin's instrumental work so well! Bravo guys! Durge

realmente todo lo que he escuchado me parece fantástico y de gran nivel!!!

Hello! I'm so happy to present to you my new single, "Should I?" which I wrote when I was 18-20 years old and now has finally seen the light thanks to this amazing production by Phil Trickey (trickey-sound)!

These are the lyrics
Should I?

Oooh…

If that is your disguise and you are made of lies
Who is the real you? I don’t know what’s true
I would touch you at night, in a soft dance, you and I
But what should I do to stop feeling blue when you’re gone?

Should I smile on the outside while I’m melting inside?
Would that ease my pain? No no
Should I mute my thoughts as I whisper so long?
Don’t you feel ashamed?

Should I stay by your side when loving is cold
Turning my pillow against your heart?
Should I lie in your arms pretending I’m wrong?
I need to be with you even your love has gone away

Promises in vain, you swore it’d never end
But I just don’t care, need to be loved once again
So you’ll put up your show and I’ll let you play on
While all shatters around me, it’s bliss not to know

‘Cause life without you is not life
I got used to your warmth - It’s all so unfair 
When you leave for the night
To someone else’s arms I will say a prayer 

Should I stay by your side when loving is cold
Turning my pillow against your heart?
Should I lie in your arms pretending I’m wrong?
I need to be with you even your love has gone away

Oh oh oh…
It has gone away
Aaaahh
Oh it has gone away! 
Oh… 

Should I stay by your side when loving is cold
Turning my pillow against your heart?
Should I lie in your arms pretending I’m wrong?
I need to be with you even your love has gone away
(Oh it has gone away)
Should I stay by your side when loving is cold
Turning my pillow against your heart?
Should I lie in your arms pretending I’m wrong?
I need to be with you even your love has gone away

Thanks for listening!

Steve asked me if I would like to make some additions to his song and this is the result! It's got a nice laid back groove, and the extract from St Pauls letter to the Corinthians is a philosophy that we should all live by : )

Wandering Corinthians - Steve Whitfield song with additions by Garddwr Porffor

out on the open road
you'll never see it coming
where there's sweet surrender
when the time is right
through the blistering rainfall
to the eye of a hurricane 
couldn't see it clearly
'til the time was right

right here, right now
letting go now

down by the water's edge
such that we hardly noticed
yeah, we were so convincing
royalty of fools
couldn't take our sweet time
bit off more than we could chew
now all the evidence shows
that we are through

under the weeping willow
you can see a shadow
reaching down, down, down
receding to the ground
when they talk about it
got no mind for comfort
with your eyes on the road
with your eyes on the road

out on the open road
drawn into the horizon
feelin' Arizona
with a California heart
and the kids are moving
to the music so sublime
and everything is all right
and the time is right now

if you want the polished apple:

Hello everybody. This is the first project by Paul Stephanides and me. Paul asked me if we could do a project together. Paul has a very unique voice, it's rough and dirty, I like his voice. I really enjoyed working with Paul. So Paul, thank you very much for your hard work and your good collabs ........ Thank you Paul.

Cat Sleeping #2

We can't remind what we don't know, whatever it is.
Our brains are  chests with strange drawers.
I'm going to put away somewhere in my heart that I made you cry today.

We'll keep creating nightmares, using our memories as material.

I guess my personality is made up of a vast accumulation of memories.
Memories determine patterns of behavior, and the same mistakes are made again and again.

We'll keep creating nightmares, to organize the data we have.

I don't know the line between a dream and a nightmare, but.

They say our memory capacity is about 18TB.
That's about all the joy and sorrow I've felt.
With a little money, We might be able to recreate it on AWS or something.

We'll keep creating nightmares, You know dogs dream too, right?

Nightmare

For all unfortunate souls who must start their day in the dark... Be brave!
