Very nice tune. Great vocals and harmonies.

Buena producción. Instrumentación y voces bien colocadas

Really engaging track, not a genre that I'd typically listen to but loved this. Great harmonies too!

Nice sound from a well produced track. Vocal is quite good.

You have a familiar sound that reminds me of REM and Joe Strummer

Very cool track. Solid mix, unique vocals.

Carefully selected works that have a very strong and special mood that hits you or takes you away gently into another world. More to be added, stay tuned.

Escape with Me

This is a sentimental indie-cinematic pop song based on vocals. All we need is a silent touch...

Wasn't sure I'd release this but after a buzz to the hospital yesterday figured what the heh. Expermenting with compression and time elements to bring out feelings and emotions.

Lyrics: 

I woke up on a Monday morning, thought  something was wrong
All my constant aches and pains, and bad migraines that last for days, well somehow they were gone
I knew that I had bills to pay, that mortgage debt was long
But the strangest part is that the street lit up my feet in color deep, and in fact my house was gone 

So where have I gone? 

This life is a journey 
And sometimes the moments
Start dragging you down
But there's more than we know of
That much we know is true 
So just keep on searching
For the one that will get you through 

He's calling, and will wipe away your tears
If you're falling, just let him take your fears
Some say it's nonsense and we're all just here on our own
But without hope we can't cope
So just let it go 

I remember being on the table
Doctor said it won't be long
My wife and mother stood beside me, they were crying but I heard them say I'm going home
I thought about the life I'd led, the things I said inside my head
I know I done some good and bad, I'd loved and lost and been a dad
But now I'm moving on

The world keeps on turning
We're yearning for something
To make us alive
There's more than we know of
Faith helps to know it's true
We're not just some lost cause
There's a purpose for me and you
He's calling, and will wipe away your tears
If you're falling, just let him take your fears
Some say it's nonsense and we're all just here on our own
But without hope we can't cope
So just let it go 

I'm ready and I'll see you soon

Where Have I Gone

Buy Track

I stare, through the window, at the streets
Watching them go, like little bees.
Nowhere to go.

They seem to be pretty busy
But they must be as bored as me.

I go to the kitchen, slowly.
I want to make a cup of tea.
I can't  find another thing to do.
I've been like this, since I broke up with you.

If I could go back to the shore
I would stop being bored
I could breathe and run to the sea
I'm busy being bored

What is the real purpose of this?
Sadly, I can't find my way in this mess.
Instead I drink a cup of tea.
And damn it, I will let it just be.

If I could go back to the shore
I would stop being bored.
I could breathe and run to the sea.
I'm busy being bored.

Busy being bored

Sunset Over Yzterfontein is the 3rd piano piece in a new cycle and series of work. It is hard work becoming who you were meant to be. It is also hard work to let go of that which does not serve us anymore. In saying this, Yoda in Star Wars says it well "Do or Do Not, there is no try". Live, you only have one life and do what creates happiness in your life. Don't try, just do and remember who you are, where you come from because it shapes you as a person. Take control of your life and allow the universe (or your higher power) to show you the way. Yzterfontein was definitely one of my happy places in South Africa. It was the place where life was easy, simple and beautiful. Nostalgic if you may... 

Enjoy the music and keep an eye out for more to come!

Reflections From Home

Sunset Over Yzterfontein

Never Be Shaken

Took a trip to america the old land of the free.
All you find is arrogance amongst faded beauty.
In a land that is too young to contain ideas that are so old.
You're looking for adventure but it's all been bought and sold.

When nothing's give away.
You're gonna have to pay.
And somethings not quite right.
Just drive into the night.
Coming to Ametica

Took a trip to America to see what you could see.
The only thing you don't expect is abject poverty.
The land that doesn't care about the people that it serves
It doesn't give you any time unless you hold onto your nerve.

Keep money in your hands.
Whilst sticking to your plans.
And don't be taken ill.
By the illusion of free will.
Coming to America.

Take a trip to america to have a look around.
Forget bout the alamo and feel the desert ground.
All you find out there is lots of rows of iron thorns.
An airbrushing existence who's foundations are left worn.

They took the land away.
And will not even say. 
The plastic piles abound.
The bones that they surround.
Coming to America.

This is not america you hear the preacher say.
You better keep your thoughts in cos there's lots that you can't say.
When you base your existence on system thats a lie.
The land where your own freedom means you're gonna have to die.

Even the best laid plans.
Are built on shifting sands.
There's things that can't be owned.
And ideas outgrown. 
Coming to America.

Coming To America

𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐚 is probably the first song that I wrote that made me understand that I didn't only wanted to play instrumental music for meditation and relaxation sessions. I realized that working on music for healing I was healing myself, and needed to express all the doubts, fears, insecurities I felt towards my self, my identity, my choices and my life with others. It's from 2019 it was written on a family caravan near the beach.
Also  this is my first recording 100% made on 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐔𝐩 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐮𝐝𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐬 𝐕𝐢𝐧𝐡𝐨𝐬, the place where I rehearse, study and record where I live, in Portugal.

lyrics 


𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐚

Sento-me incerto, caneta na mão
Tanto pensamento, tanta indecisão.
Quanto mais eu tento, menos eu consigo.
Algo em mim relembra, é só estar comigo.
*
Vejo uma semente que encontro no chão
e falo com ela, responde-me então:
olha bem para mim, sou universal,
lê nas minhas curvas um olhar igual.
Enquanto um sorriso surge nos meus lábios,
suspiram cá dentro ensinamentos sábios.
Nunca uma semente disse tanta coisa,
nunca a mim mesmo eu disse tanta coisa.
*
Cresce um girassol, nesse mesmo chão,
O seu brilho intenso beija a minha mão.
Sol que nele brilhas, brilha no meu ser
Lê nas minhas linhas o que eu não sei ler.
Pétalas e folhas envolvem-me assim
Somos o começo, o meio e o fim
Nunca uma flor mostrou tanta coisa
Nunca o meu sol disse tanta coisa
*
E agora que sinto que encontrei o centro
Limpei o que havia no meu pensamento
Lembro que inspirando calma e lentamente
Vejo tudo o que sou além da minha mente
*

A Life in the Wind

I play instruments and sing. Into zen, permaculture, veganism, anarchy. Trying to be a good dad for my daughter, which leaves less time for art.

禅 I make music to explore myself. Each track is an intense journey for me. It's meditation and medicine.

禅 I publish on soundclound first. My work will always be free and available on most platforms for your convenience.

禅 I love to collaborate. Don't hesitate to send a DM. I can take care of the production.

禅 I usually publish under a CC-license, which allows you to use it for non-commercial purposes for free. If you need the files or single tracks from it, just contact me.

❯ The Sage is occupied with the unspoken
and acts without effort.
Teaching without verbosity,
producing without possessing,
creating without regard to result,
claiming nothing,
the Sage has nothing to lose. ❮
