very nice cover that manages to keep the spirit of the original

very nice cover version with wide sound and musical horizons!

so beautiful, love your amazing voice and great music 🎵

Amazing cover of this very haunting piece

Love the ideas here.  Great changeup from the original

Mesmerizing and creative cover....well done.

I was at the farm, chilling..not far from my place, so I made this tune a bit longer for you. This piano is an old old Antique Caveau is a bit detuned and sustain pedal is noisy, apologies about that

Live Reflexion#004

There is good and evil in each of us. We see this every day, looking inside ourselves, into our heart, into our soul, into our inner mirrors. Sometimes we see good there, but sometimes evil.  I want to dedicate this track to all the good people who gave their lives in this eternal war. In a sense, this track is a requiem for the passing World, as I knew it.

LYRICS:
London Town is a place to see
That's what I've been told 
Maybe I should go 
Before I get too old
Look through the gates of the Palace
Or even … number 10
Stroll down by the river Thames
And look up at Big Ben

Or..... I could sit here in the sunshine 
Upon my garden swing
Maybe write a song 
For somebody to sing
Just sit back, relax
And watch my worries disappear
The more I think it through
I like……. just being here

I could walk along the South Bank
Visit a gallery
Go down to the Tower
Take in all that history
Maybe a museum
See a dinosaur or two
Then go up a tall glass building
And just take in the view

Or..... I could sit here in the sunshine 
Upon my garden swing
Maybe write a song 
For somebody to sing
And when the evening comes
Just drink an ice cold beer
The more I think it through
I like……. just being here

Just Being Here

A simple "hymn" or "anthem" in the name of fresh beginnings and everything they can bring with them.

The feeling with this track is kind of similar with some previous ones of mine since I so love playing with all these wonderful instruments. 

Played by me with Korg SGProX stage piano and Yamaha Montage 8 synthesizer using the following instruments: 
- Drums: Native Instruments Abbey Road 80s Drummer (with a layered Linndrum snare);
- Bass and lead: AAC Lounge Lizard EP-4 Insomnia;
- Electric piano: Scarbee Classic EP-88s;
- Strings: UVI Orchestral Suite;
- Choir, voices: Arturia Emulator II V;
- Guitar: Native Instruments Session Guitarist - Electric Sunburst.

Daydreaming (Radiohead cover)

dearest deer

i haven't seen you in some days

seems so long since you're away

come back

come back

my deer


you lent some magic to my eyes

were you an angel in disguise

come back 

come back

my deer


in the centre of your field

one look at you and i was healed

no predator could catch your grace

or cloud the sunlight on your face


at the dusk and at the dawn

i search for you and find you gone

come back

oh just once 

my deer


i never touched your golden hide

i watched you stepping from inside

come back

appear

my deer

beneath the skies the summer set

you are the one I won't regret 

unto the spinney soft you ran

oh what becomes of deer or man


into the night you drift like dream

I see you drinking from a stream

my deer

my deer

my dearest deer

my deer

oh, my deer

my dearest deer (rpt and fade)

Seems to be an endless repeated theme for me ~ running away to the countryside, and in recent years this has been the Australian wilderness, from the deep south to the far north.

Dedicated to, and featuring Gary Reeves (aka Mountain Songs) on drums and cymbals (remixed) at the start. Banjo, lap slide guitar (acting as bass), beats and vox by myself. This song is for Gary, who has been a wonderful musical compadre for many of us around the world, via this  Soundcloud Village.

Respect and acknowledgement to the Traditional Owners of the lands, waters and skies in this video, both in Australia and New Zealand. Particular thanks to the Yolgnu people of Gapuwiyak who made me feel so welcome during my short visit to Arnhem Land last year.

Looking Up & Down      Song, recording, audio & video July 2023 - Chris Okunbor (APRA)
I was chained to the city, thinking I could fly,
I gazed at the heavens as the clouds rolled high.
Long, long days working to the plan,
I changed my way of living and I left that town.

Now I'm higher than the mountains, looking down below,
rolling miles above cotton candy snow.
Way beyond the city, just going with the flow.
running to freedom to a place unknown.

Got a window seat, got a beer in hand.
Feeling in my heart for this ancient land.
Well, wild rivers snake,  jeweled seas shine.
Djerimanga Songlines are spinning out my mind.

Higher than the mountains, and the madding crowd,
cruising miles above cotton fields of cloud.
Way beyond the city, going with the flow,
running to freedom, to a place unknown.
To a place unknown.
