Next up is a belter from me , Gaz and Nat , then another Rap/Rock song from me and Blaffy , then it's time for me and Tony again . Waiting in the wings are songs with Gaz and Nat , and when Charlotte comes back from her hols we'll finish what we started a few weeks ago . So there's lots going on . Thank you so much for listening , means the world !

Hey Lucas

This is the next instalment in the tale of Mike Fox and amazing lyricist Tony Harris , the nicest guy on the planet ! I may have overdone the harmonies , oops , see what you think . On the 25th is a mega production with lyrics by wonderful Andrea Brennan , vocals guitar and basic format by myself , but everything else by Axel Menningen , including production ! Then on the 1st of November is the 2nd outing for Dave Cooper and myself , closely followed by a song actually by myself for a change ! Loads waiting in the wings ! Thank you .

Route 66

Another outing by Kim and I , it's a smooth Pop ballad this time , we hope you like it ! Next up is a track that Dave Cooper wrote the lyrics for and I just worked around them , he's off on another cruise and is now officially called Popeye ! After that is a rock song I pinched from Mary Augustson 
( Skippy ) She let me and Kim rework it , and it really does work ! I'm just getting over an op on my right ear , and as soon as I'm better there's a new one to do with Gaz Brownie , David Dunham , Tony Harris , and another with Dave Cooper , so much for slowing down !
Remember me and Charlottes album is still out there , links below . So many thanks for listening !

Love's the Light

Love's The Light

I must get this off my chest . If you are approached by Jacob Gilliland from Alamo Records , please don't give him a second of your time , I checked him out and he is just a lowlife scammer preying on the hopes and dreams of talented musicians like yourselves , pondlife should be named and shamed !
Anyway , I wanted to write an anthemic rocker , so I got in touch with my lyricist pal from New York , Andrea Brennan , and she came up with the goods , we hope you like it ! Me and Kim are still hoping to win a song competition , so if you get chance please vote for us http://hofa-contest.com/song/19226/

V1
I give half my life to the road
Stadiums and concert halls
I’m running on overload

And with every missed call

 

Pre-chorus
I see your face in the crowd
Hear your voice in my strings

They’re calling me home 
It's been way too long, I miss



Chorus
Your kiss on my lips
Every night, my arms holding you tight

And the world just you and me

The way, (the way) we were always meant to be  

 

V2
The grind is taking its toll
Overdue for a change of pace

Can’t help thinking of you as

I take my place on the stage


Pre-chorus
I see your face in the crowd

Feel your heart in the drums

They’re calling me home
It's been way too long, I miss



Chorus

Your kiss on my lips
Every night, my arms holding you tight

The world just you and me

The way, (the way) we were always meant to be



Bridge
Last show I’ll ever know 

One more encore then hit the road

In twenty four hours, I’ll feel



Chorus
Your kiss on my lips
Every night, my arms holding you tight

The world just you and me

The way, (the way) we were always meant to be

Kiss on My Lips

A laid back song from me and Kim , we hope you like it ! Me and Dave Cooper in about a week with a lovely Folk/Rock song , after that is a song by myself , then me and Gaz with real drummer Ken , then me and Kim , and more by myself , the never ending story !

Stare across the stormy sea on this windy night

There’s nothing here for me and I don’t feel right

Take me to a land outside the visions of my mind

Take me to a paradise I’ll never find

 

Chorus

 

Sing songs of love for me

Sing songs of life

Sing songs that sound so real

Sing songs, sing songs of life

 

Take me on a roller coaster ride through mountains past

Through the valleys of my mind and make it last

Take me on a sailing boat, cool breeze through my hair

All’s well till someone spoke, what’s that you say

 

Bridge

 

Here‘s where the journey ends

Oh it had to be

Meeting lovers, meeting friends

Oh it had to be, to be

 

So I stare across the sea and I never know why

Why it came to me and I start to cry

I’ll never leave this place and I know this is true

And I’ll never see your face and be with you

Songs of Life

The Shield

This song was written by Gaz Brownie as a tribute to Mike Peters from The Alarm who sadly died recently . As soon as I heard the rough demo I said " give it 'ere ! " We got Ken from K2 and the Three to provide brilliant drums to give the whole song a real live feel , we do hope you like it !

[Verse] He feels the world through whispers near The rustling leaves a song so clear A silent symphony guides his way The unseen sun still lights his day

[Verse 2] His fingers trace what eyes can't see A story carved in bark and tree The wind it tells of distant shores Each note a world that he explores

[Chorus] He sees the world in echoes bright A touch a sound a fleeting light The colors bloom where silence grows A vivid life the blind man knows

[Verse 3] The pavement hums beneath his feet A city's heart its steady beat Each voice a thread in woven air A tapestry beyond compare

[Bridge] Oh close your eyes and hear it too The world alive in shades of blue No need for sight to understand The beauty felt by heart and hand

[Chorus] He sees the world in echoes bright A touch a sound a fleeting light The colors bloom where silence grows A vivid life the blind man knows

The Blindman Knows

A bit of a Rocker going on here with Kim , she does like to rock , hope you like it ! A bit of slush after this by myself , it's nice though . Then we have a variety of songs again with Kim , Dave Cooper and Axel Menningen , Gaz Brownie and more by myself and with Kim . So many in the pipeline I'm losing track !

Bad Girl

This is a song I had to write . My wife of 30 years Gill has a rare condition which has made me her main carer , we used to be party people , but sadly that is no more . Going out is such an effort as she has lost the sense of balance , there is no cure , and it's getting worse !
So I do music when I can slot it in around caring for Gill , but I love her and I will continue to care for her , hence the song title ! But on the plus side we do laugh a lot , we always have .
Phew , that's the sad stuff out of the way ! Next up is me and Kim with a dark gothic rocker closely followed by me , Dave Cooper and Axel Menningen with a country classic , then me and Gaz Brownie with a belter , and loads more to follow !
Thank you so much for listening , it means the world to me !

[Verse] I see your eyes they hold the weight The storms you face the hours late But here I stand through thick and thin I'll hold you close let love begin

[Verse 2] Your hands are tired your heart is worn Through every trial we’ve been torn But I won't let the shadows stay I'll light your path I'll clear the way

[Chorus] I’ll care for you when you’re feeling small I’ll lift you up when you start to fall Through every tear and every fight I’ll be your strength your guiding light

[Verse 3] The days are long the nights are cold But every story’s worth being told I’ll carry you through every test You’re my heart and I’ll give my best

[Bridge] Even when the skies turn gray Even when hope feels far away I’ll stay steady I’ll stay true Every step I’ll walk with you

[Chorus] I’ll care for you when you’re feeling small I’ll lift you up when you start to fall Through every tear and every fight I’ll be your strength your guiding light

Care For You

A bit of Goth Rock going on here , one of my fav songs of all time is " Bring me to Life " which may have influenced this song slightly ! Me , Axel and Dave are up next with a super country song , closely followed by me and Gaz ( we're working on a stormer at the moment ) Then more by just me , me and Kim , a great song with Dave Cooper and many more to follow !
Charlotte and I will be back soon with new material , our album links are below .

[Verse] She walks in frost that bites the air A crown of stars A frozen glare Her footsteps hum on crystal glass Each step a whisper A shadow cast

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

[Verse 2] The rivers pause beneath her gaze The sky turns pale A ghostly haze Her laugh is sharp It cuts the wind A riddle wrapped A soul unpinned

[Prechorus] But does she dream Does she cry Does she melt beneath the sky

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

[Bridge] She builds her walls of icy stone A castle carved She stands alone But deep inside A fire sleeps A secret warmth A flame she keeps

[Chorus] Oh Ice Maiden Heart so cold Your touch is silver Your gaze is bold Oh Ice Maiden Can’t you see You’ve frozen the world You’ve frozen me

Ice Maiden

Back again with a bit of Country . Fellow Northerner Dave Cooper sent me the lyrics to this , so I enlisted the help of my good friend Axel Menningen to put it together . It's an Anglo/German collaboration , we really hope you like it ! Me and Dave are back in a few weeks time ! Next up is a cracker by me and Gaz Brownie , followed by more me and Kim , stuff by myself , and another one me and Gaz have just finished . The song contest finished with no win for me and Kim , oh

Turn around and face yourself
There’s nothing you can do
For you see there’s no escape
Love’s got a hold on you

It doesn’t matter what you say
It doesn’t matter what you do
There is simply no other way
Love’s got a hold on you
Chorus

Don’t hide your love
Don’t hide your love
Don’t hide your love away
Bridge

Every time you turn around
There’s a love that’s newly 
There’s a love that’s newly found
Solo

So don’t you try and hide
For you know that it’s true
Somewhere deep down inside
Love’s got a hold on you
Chorus x 2

End 

Love’s got a hold, love’s got a hold

Love’s got a hold on you

Don't Hide Your Love

Firstly , a scammer alert . If you get approached by someone claiming to Peter Edge , the CEO of RCA Records , he is not , he is a pond life scammer ! It was done through a " scout " who passed me on to him , it was very convincing , but after investigating I discovered he was just another one of those low life twats out for what I call criminal gain ! I would love to find out out where these people live so I could put their windows in and give them a slap or two !
Anyway , this is a great song written by Gaz Brownie , when I heard his demo I was hooked and had visions of which direction it should take , we really hope you like it as much as we do !
So many songs to be released , but one song will have to jump the queue for release on the 1st of October . It's a track that I have been working on with a fantastic Mexican singer/songwriter called D'mendo Boteli , you will be amazed ! Thank you so much for listening and your continued support .

Me and D'mendo bumped into each other on Soundcloud and I was blown away , you must visit his page , fantastic singer/songwriter/musician https://soundcloud.com/dmendo-boteli-escritor/tracks . I took one of his songs , added strings/guitars and backing vocals then re mastered it , you will love it ! It's not just a one off , there will be more Anglo/Mexican songs to come ! Following this are more songs with Kim , Gaz Brownie and Dave Cooper with two almost complete songs with Dave and Tony Harris . Axel Menningen is working hard on the massive Xmas production we put together with Andrea Brennan and a cast of many .

Verse 1
In autumn, from the tree of mysteries, the wind tore off sixteen leaves
On six it said "we will meet"
The other ten told many things

Verse 2
The trunk of that tree was skin
That we caressed mutually
We merged our bellies by night
And we became one, that time

Pre-chorus
It's true we were born separate, but destiny brought us together, you see

Chorus
We live this story between the two of us
Destinies that come together in a dream
Loves defined by a God
We are blessed for this
Undoubtedly nothing will separate us
A silent pact that we fulfill
We will love each other for eternity
We will be with love like two children

Verse
Now a truth is clear
I have two leaves from that tree here
On one our names are written
On another it says I am for you

Outro
The others tell that we will be together....
Until the end...

Verso 1

En otóño, désde el árbol de misterios,
el viento le arrancó diecíseis hojas
En seis decía "nos conoceremos"
Las otras diez contaban muchas cosas.

Verso 2

El tronco de ese árbol era piel
Que nos acariciámos mutuamente
Fundimos por la noche nuestros vientres
Y nos hicimos uno, aquella vez

Verdad es que nacimos separados, pero el destino nos juntó, ya ves.

Coro

Vivimos esta historia entre entre los dos.
Destinos que se juntan en un sueño
Amores definidos por un Dios
Estamos bendecidos para esto.

Sin duda nada nos separará
Un pacto silencioso que cumplimos
Nos amarémos por la eternidad.
Seremos con amor como dos niños.

Verso.

Ahora queda clara una verdad
Dos hojas dése árbol tengo aquí,
En una están escrito nuestros nombres
En otro dice que soy para ti.

Outro

Las otras cuentan que estaremos juntos.... Hasta el fin..

Como dos niños

Como dos niños ( Like two children )

No scammer alerts this time , maybe someone has shot them all , let's hope so !
Here's another offering from me and Kim , we've done quite a few now , hope you like this one . Loads more to come with Gaz Brownie my Brummie mate , Dave Cooper my fellow Northerner , Alabama Tony Harris and more by myself and with my soul mate Kim . Oh yes , Axel Menningen got in touch about a song written by David Dunham , so we've started working on a fabulous version , Axel's vision is something else ! I'm hoping to work with D'mendo Boteli again , he is a rising star , unlike me , just an old git trying my best !

[Verse] The mirror's cracked the light is thin I can't see out or look within A shadow whispers my own name But every echo feels the same

[Chorus] I'm losing faith losing fire Hope's a thread on a broken wire Every prayer just fades away I'm losing faith I'm losing faith today

[Verse 2] The sky is gray no stars in sight The clock ticks wrong both day and night The ground is cold it won't forgive How do I fight when I can't live

[Prechorus] I used to dream I used to soar But now I’m not sure what for

[Chorus] I'm losing faith losing fire Hope's a thread on a broken wire Every prayer just fades away I'm losing faith I'm losing faith today

[Bridge] I build a house on shifting sand It falls apart like it was planned The rain it mocks the tears I hide The storm has found a place inside

Losing Faith

Well here's a laid back little number , it sounds a bit Gospel , but it's not really , to be honest I don't know what genre to put it in , but I really hope you like it !
Next up is a song with Dave Cooper , then Kim , then Gaz Brownie . Loads more to come with Kim , Dave Cooper , and just finished a belting track by David Dunham with Axel Menningen that will be out in a few weeks .

[Verse] Feet on the edge where the wild water flows Under the moonlight the mystery grows A bridge of shadows stretching so thin Crossing that river where dreams begin

[Verse 2] Whispers of echoes from the other side Pulling me closer with the rising tide The night feels heavy but my heart's alive Crossing that river just to survive

[Chorus] Oh I'm crossing that river where the stars align Through the dark waters leaving fears behind Step by step into the great unknown Crossing that river to find my own

[Verse 3] The wind is howling but I hear her song A voice so tender pulling me along Every ripple's a story every wave a cry Crossing that river to touch the sky

[Bridge] Oh the current’s strong but my will won't break Through the cold waters for the risk I’ll take The past is drowning in the undertow Crossing that river to see where it’ll go

[Chorus] Oh I'm crossing that river where the stars align Through the dark waters leaving fears behind Step by step into the great unknown Crossing that river to find my own

Crossing That River

Another scammer alert , again from " RCA " Yeah right ! Why don't these lowlife idiots use a bit more imagination , if only hanging was still allowed in this country !
Anyway , back to reality . Dave Cooper sent me some brilliant lyrics to put together a Country song , so here it is , we hope you like it ! We've just finished a great song together , and we have an album coming out mid November .
Much more to come with Gaz and Kim , me and Kim , me and Dave , me and Tony , Charlie and the Fox , oh the list goes on and on !

You’re my one and only girl and you dominate my world

You’re my life, you’re my love

Through and through

 

The Mona Lisa is nice

But she comes at a price

And she don’t hold a candle to you

 

Chorus

 

You‘re my soul, you’re my heart

In my play you’re the lead part

And without you I don’t know what I’d do

You’re my reason to live

For the love that you give

And I’ll never find another you

 

They said Helen of Troy

Could wow all the boys

But she could not take me away from you

 

Cleopatra, it seems

Could hold all mens’ dreams

But she don’t come a close second to you

 

Chorus

 

Solo

 

Oh Marie Antoinette

Could enchant all she met

But she don’t do a thing for me

 

For you know I love you

And my feelings are true

And without you I don’t know what to do

 

Chorus

 

And I’ll never find another you to end

I'll never find another you

I'll Never Find Another You

V1
I like to wine & dine you in the best
Restaurants Mitchell star
It’s Gregg’s or Maccies on the bus cause this man he don’t own a car
(It really doesn’t matter because I getting the best of both )
It really doesn’t matter boys because we are all getting daily oats )
In the morning it’s salmon with poached eggs on french one sided posh toast
It’s a strong brew & cornflakes & another notch on the bedpost

Chorus

If only we could make up our minds
If only this was a sign of the times
In this three point love affair x2

V2
I can’t share you anymore with this caveman neanderthal
Hey pretty boy it’s not all about you you don’t have a clue
(I’m enjoying this boys can’t we stay close
I’m enjoying this boys wait to see what’s under my coat )
Good night Neanderthal I hope you have the worst nightmares
Look pretty boy just remember I’m the other side of our share

Gathered--Lyrics:
What are we gathered here for, what have we come to see?
Two people who believe that a better life
Is lived together not separately.
Father we ask you blessing upon the union of these two,
That the vows they are both confessing
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.

Bridge:
And it's more than just "tying a knot" and it's more than just getting "hitched"
We're seeing two hearts being sewn together,
We're witnessing it stitch by stitch.
It's the miracle of seeing two become one,
Though the two are really not the same,
Like the paint and the canvas are separate until
The Artist joins them in a beautiful frame.

Instrumental Interlude

Will bind their hearts to each other and You
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.

Gathered - A wedding song

****We have decided to link the song to a fundraising campaign. All proceeds and donations related to the song will go to a UNICEF project that supports children in the war-torn regions of Ukraine. We appreciate every contribution to the project, whether big or small. Thank you for your support!
www.unicef.de/spendenaktion/idee?cfd=jdo7r ****Well where do I start ? About 5 months ago me and Axel Menningen had a crazy idea to bring about 20 Soundcloud artists together for a Christmas song . So I got the chords and melody sorted and brought Andrea Brennan in to write the lyrics , the rough demo was then sent over to Axel for him to work his magic ! The next few months were spent gathering singers , and Axel had the massive task of mixing the whole thing together , we did the music almost last , everyone had to do their part working with just a rough acoustic and drum demo , but it did not phase anyone in the slightest , true pros !
A cause close to my heart is the Ukraine , so we want to make as much as possible to try and help these oppressed people .
Axel made a wonderful video too https://youtu.be/ZuvDeiWsgYE?si=kzRPIyrARDlvSHxj
I would like to thank everybody involved in this project , you are so kind to donate your time and effort , from the bottom of my heart I thank you , along with Axel and Andrea !
A big thank you to everyone involved

The Greatest Gifts

I’m surrounded by cardboard boxes  
Paper, ribbons and bows    
December 18th, only one week left to go 
Time to get, this show on the road  

And with every single bow I tie  
Each name I cross from my list  
I can feel my spirits start to rise  
Thinking about our gifts   
Not just at holidays    
But every day     

A smile from a stranger   
While walking through the streets of town
The hand of a close friend
When I’m knocked down 
The laughter of loved ones
That turn the darkest day around
These are the greatest gifts
That make the world go round

Lights on my Christmas boughs  
Blink red, blue and green   
And each branch holds a special memory 
Ornaments, sentimental to me  

And the angel glowing high from above 
Shines like a Christmas wish   
Of joy, peace, hope, forgiveness and love 
God’s precious given gifts   
Not just at holidays - But every day  

A smile from a stranger   
While walking through the streets of town
The hand of a close friend
When I’m knocked down 
The laughter of loved ones
That  turn the darkest day around
These are the greatest gifts
That make the world go round

I wrap the last gift ,     
place it under the tree   
Thankful for blessings I receive  

A smile from a stranger   
While walking through the streets of town
The hand of a close friend
When I’m knocked down 
The laughter of loved ones
That turn the darkest day around
These are the greatest gifts

A smile from a stranger   
While walking through the streets of town
The hand of a close friend
When I’m knocked down 
The laughter of loved ones
That turn the darkest day around
These are the greatest gifts
That make the world go round

On the next release I'll name and shame a new scammer , actually I'll
do it now !
Nick Sligh representing Universal , avoid this pondlife !

The Greatest Gifts

When Dave Cooper sent me his lyrics , I thought " Oh Yes , these will do for me ! " We hope you like it , and we have a belter for release in the new year , plus an album out in a few weeks , hurrah !
" The Greatest Gifts " charity single is creating a lot of interest with press and radio , Andrea , Axel and I are hoping to generate a lot of money supporting Ukrainian children through our UNICEF link , such a worthy cause  https://www.unicef.de/spendenaktion/idee?cfd=jdo7r
Next up is with the wonderful D'mendo Boteli , followed by the return of Charlie and the Fox with a cracking track , here's our album links

On the 1st of January me and Gaz Brownie start the year with a bang , an album looming too !
Loads of stuff lined up , thank you so much for the support
I watch the river - And I see it flow

I watch it winding - Where does it go?

 

I see the love - I see the hate

Is there an answer - I just can’t wait

 

I see the children - I see them grow

The things they learning - I’ll never know

 

I see them laughing – I see them cry

I wonder will they ever – Ever wonder why

 

 

Chorus

 

Here I stand with my disguise

I see it all through tired eyes

Flowers bloom and flowers die

But I’ll go where my fate lies

My fate lies

My fate lies

 

Solo

 

Chorus

 

I don’t know why – I don’t know when

I just can’t seem – To say it again

 

I think about it – And it makes no sense

Looking back – At what it meant

 

Chorus

Where my fate lies

Where My Fate Lies

At the moment I think I'm in the middle of a clever scam , I'll keep you posted , Michael Fox the scam interceptor ha ha ! Anyway , when I heard this song by D'mendo I was blown away and had to join in .
So he sent me the files , I added guitars/bass/drums/backing vocals and remastered it , I hope you love it as much as we do . You must visit his page soundcloud.com/dmendo-boteli-escritor/tracks
The Greatest Gifts charity single is making some money for Ukrainian children , any donation would be most welcome https://www.unicef.de/spendenaktion/idee?cfd=jdo7r
Next up is me and Charlotte with a belter of a song , here's our album links , it's worth a listen !
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nWWNcrIRv08J_eEbL7MJ_1UTdMo0MjJLM&si=G83ypyLh0nQwYRis

Penas

Penas (extended version)

Charlotte sent me 12 songs to work on a few weeks ago , I thought " good grief " , we are going to be very busy ! This is a great upbeat Pop/Rock song , we hope you like it , here's our 1st album link
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nWWNcrIRv08J_eEbL7MJ_1UTdMo0MjJLM&si=G83ypyLh0nQwYRis
I'm keeping the UNICEF donation link open 
https://www.unicef.de/spendenaktion/idee?cfd=jdo7r
Any money raised will go towards helping children in the Ukraine , a very worthy cause !
Me and Tony Harris will finish the year off , how time flies .
In the New Year there's more with Gaz Brownie , Dave Cooper , Charlotte , Kim , and by myself .
I would imagine me and Axel will get together too !
Many thanks for all the support you give me , you've made an old muso very happy .

Boom Boom Boom

When Tony Harris writes lyrics they are stories from the heart , to leave any out would not be right , so when he sent me these wonderful words I used them all , squeezed them in somehow . We do hope you like it , and it's the last song of the year , where has 2025 gone ?
The Greatest Gifts charity for the children of the Ukraine through UNICEF is still running , and will do as long as Putin is aggressive towards the good folk of the Ukraine , the link is

HE GREW UP BACK IN THE DAY
WITH TWO GUITARS IN THE HOUSE
ONE WAS SPECIAL TO HIS MOM
NOBODY KNEW HOW TO PLAY
IT BELONGED TO HIS UNCLE
THEY CALLED THE GUITAR MAN
THAT WAS KILLED IN THE BIG WAR
NEVER GOT TO PLAY IN A BAND
(CHORUS)
HE WROTE THIS SONG
ABOUT THE GUITAR MAN
HE NEVER GOT TO MEET HIM
OR WRITE A SONG WITH HIM
PRAYS HE'S UP IN HEAVEN
PLAYING IN A BAND
HE CARRIED HIS GUITAR
EVERYWHERE HE WENT
ALWAYS HAPPY TO PLAY
HIS PLAYING WAS HEAVEN SENT

THEY ALWAYS SAID HIS UNCLE A. J.
WOULD BE A STAR SOMEDAY
BUT LIKE SO MANY OTHERS
HE HAD A BIGER PRICE TO PAY
HIS MAMA GAVE THE GUITAR AWAY
CAUSE NOBODY KNEW HOW TO PLAY
IT WAS JUST COLLECTING DUST
WISHES HE HAD THAT FLAT TOP TODAY
(REPEAT CHORUS)

Are We Nearly There
By This Sound Society
(Fox & Brownie )

V1
Tomorrow’s problem I’m drinking today
I know you get me in every way
The mood is lifted the clouds have shifted
And just for today let it be gifted
Perfection would be great
I will settle for fantastic
They can keep Carriages horses king’s
And all of those castles
And yesterday can keep all of our troubles &. hassles

Chorus
Are we nearly there yet
Cause this journey far to long
Are we nearly there yet
Cause I need somewhere to belong
Somewhere where I feel strong
Somewhere where the light shines
Somewhere where you are mine
Just Somewhere lost in time

V2
A rendezvous with destiny
So why doesn’t it feel so heavenly
Are we running away
Our running towards something else today
Can you feel the shift baby
Cause it’s taking a grip
You don’t need your eyes
To see the chemistry
Someone for someone else
Someone else for somebody

Chorus to finish…..,

Are we nearly there

1st album by Charlie and the Fox is out now https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nWWNcrIRv08J_eEbL7MJ_1UTdMo0MjJLM&si=G83ypyLh0nQwYRis Quick note , if someone plays a track of mine I Always return the favour , and if they have no tracks I always say thank you ! But sometimes SC will show me all the listeners , but other times they only show me the last 2 hours and I have no idea of who listened to what , it is so annoying , and I apologise if I miss anyone out , it's not deliberate , I value every single one of my listeners ! Self confessed Music Addict ! I write and play/vocalise everything myself whether it be real or synthetic . Recently teamed up with Charlotte Thornton , and together we are Charlie and the Fox , it's the best thing I have ever done musically . Char has an outstanding voice , writes amazing lyrics and comes up with melodies I would never have dreamed of , it's a partnership that works so well , and long may it continue ! We thank you for listening , liking and commenting . Cheers , Mike and Char .
And new album by me and Dave Cooper is out , give it a whirl !
