Fantastic intro Mike and beautiful vocal . This is a gem of a tune I’m thinking maybe one of my favs of late 👍

Oh what a lovely track - it’s got our song “lost me now” vibes running through it - love it 😊

Lyrics:

As the rain dries 
on the windowpane 
you notice how everything
around you has changed 
hardly anything 
that reminds you of the past
 
Why stay when your name is already called?  
why cling when the wind is pulling you away? 
why wait when you've found another trace?

It was lovely under the tree 
but now the leaves have fallen and I move on 
I use my lens to find the trace
that leads me away from here into the valley 

Why stay when your name is already called ? 
why cling when the wind is pulling you away? 
why wait when you have found another trace?

Move on, move on 
you found another trace 

Why stay
why cling
why wait

A Trace To Keep Control

A Lens To Find The Trace

This is messy and rough, more like a demo -- it was all done in my scratch pad context (FL Studio), but then again the subject is messy and rough.

Take You Down

I can take you down
I can bring you right down put your face down to it
I can wait around ready for you

you are free to change your mind
you are free to leave this life behind
there's an open door but you don't go through it

I try to get away clean but you got me in a hold
you put your fingers in my head and I loose control
how will I ever be satisfied

I can help with the pain for a little while
cause you know it really just ain't my style
to let you feel what I'm doing when I'm doin it

got what I need and I need it
where does it end now
now that I've paid with my freedom

I just want to be free from all the craving of the night
hey yeah will there ever be a time when I feel it

Take You Down

My first DAW song!
I enjoyed very much doing this song?
Can you also enjoy it?

Under Pressure
In this world of expectations where success is a decree
All the pressure from everywhere can easily break you and me
Schooling us with numbers and facts, who care is’s breaking our backs
All the promises I must keep still hunt me in my sleep
In this circle of demands the pressure still expands

Education should be the key, but if the pressure breaks me?
What if I cannot break free?

You think when I smile I’m shinning so bright, but deep within there is a fear I can’t fight
All the pressure closing on me, expectations, how to be free?
How can I handle the wight before it is too late?
The obligations are so strong, where do I belong?

Success is what we strive for, but I wonder if there’s more
Expectations are everywhere,  all the pressure I have to bear

Under Pressure

Unlike our previous two collabs, Dan does lyrics, vocals and lead guitars on an instrumental by me.
I made a 7/4 track for him, knowing he can sail odd waves, and here you are the fantastic result !!

Verse 1:
A promise was made
And It shouldn’t fade
The words were spoken
Then they was broken

We were in the bright sunshine
I thought she was mine
It’s not something you can pawn
And asa now she is gone

I was here forever beau
It was years ago

Verse 2:
But I thought it still held
Like a solid weld

A promise is a promise
Even for a doubting Thomas
It should carry some weight
It doesn’t have an expiration date

But a last I find
That things can unwind
And we are not together
In this Summer weather

Verse 3:
She made her assurance
But I had no insurance
From the broken promise she made
Yes our romance began to fade

Now I am in the dark
What was there was just a spark
Now I Don’t know
Which way to go

No direction in my life
Yes I’m living in such strife
Wondering if life means anything
My joy has no more spring

I am that sad guy you passed by
Not noticing the tears in his eyes

I love summer. The temperature and humidity make you sweat even if you stay still. The sun illuminates all the shadows that we would like to hide, both in landscapes and in people. That summer, people began to suffer from abnormally high temperatures. It is no longer a summer of memories, but a summer of ``heartache.'' I can't stand summer.
The song is a rambling expression of summer, and fragments of my anger ooze out.

I can't allow summer to make people suffer (298)

Here's a remix of a 2 year song , all about a nutcase cult leader , I do hope you like it ! On the 1st of June is a great song me and Tony Harris did , wonderful lyricist . On the 9th is another remix , then on the 15th is the return of Charlotte and myself with a stadium rock song that will blow your socks off , if you wear them ! Waiting in the wings and almost finished are songs with Namibian Rapper Blaffy and one with Gaz Brownie and Nat , both these are cracking tracks , thank you for all the support you give me !

Clear Blue Water

Clear Blue Water ( Mike Fox Remix )

Lyrics: Children of war 


Children should grow up with love and care
Instead they suffer, it just isn’t fair
Their innocence lost , the bitterness won
The wounds of war can not made  undone

Children of war, we should be aware
the seed of hate will always be there
Cause even when the war is gone
the wounds of war cannot made undone

Children Of War (composition, Execution,vocals, Lyrics, Production)

Had To Do This

A beautiful song written by the great Phil Coulter and covered by many artists including the late great, Luke Kelly and Sinéad O'Connor to name but a few. I kept this very basic, a song that is very close to my heart and a song dedicated to anyone who has a family member with special needs. This is for our family member Louise,we all love you.
