I wish I knew what was bring sung, but even without words this is deeply beautiful. I heard this already on D'mendo's page, but I can't get really enough. Amazing collab!

What a voice! Excellent collaboration-Lovely instrumentation and production 😊

Wow! An excellent song and first class performance. Great collaboration Mike and D'mendo.

What a pleasure to have the privilege of listening to what you do, my friend! You are an artist who knows how to convey emotions, allowing us to feel every moment 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Both versions of the song are brilliantly done 👍👋

MY PRAYER

A SINGLE STEP...ANOTHER MILE 
LYRICS

When You Smile

when you smile 
my world is warm
when you smile 
you calm MY storm
 
If we tried 
to make this true 
A part for me 
the rest for you

so many things
MIGHT pass
you by
 a short hello 
a long goodbye

a single step
another mile
that melts away
each time You smile

It is the living making
all my trying TruE
It is the giving making 
all my dreams come through
It is for you I walk 
another mile 
I walk it all to 
see you smile.

so many things
MIGHT pass you by
 a short hello 
a long goodbye

should we try
to make this true 
A part for me 
the rest for you

a single step
another mile
that melts away 
each time You smile

It is the living making
all my trying TruE
It is the giving MAKING 
all my dreams OF YOU

It is for you walk 
another mile 
I walk it all to 
see you smile…

so many things
MIGHT pass
you by
 a short hello…

a long goodby

EVENING STARS

WHEN YOU SMILE

Swallow Back

It's been a joy to collaborate with Seagull on a number of different projects over the last several years, but this song proved to be a more unique challenge for me musically; to try to create a guitar part for a Middle Eastern style of music.  I'll let you be the judge if we succeeded:)  Clara's vocals really define the song as Seagull's electric guitar and synths set the stage with bird song in the background.  He did an exquisite job of nestling the Godin nylon-string into the mix.
Minus the electric guitars of course, I do wonder if this type of music might have been heard in and around Palestine at the time of Christ's birth.  Was it echoing in the Magi's ears as they sojourned across the sands to worship and give gifts to the newborn King?  It is music that is pleading, emotional, calling out for peace to a world gone mad in its quest for power and wealth.  Regardless of one's faith or religion, Christmas can be a time and season of resetting one's values and outlook on life, perhaps a true "Genesis" of beginning again.

"Cold" - A retro -futuristic, romantic track about coming out of the colder days of your life.
May you always have a warm and safe place next to your loved ones!
Big hugs, Jordana and Tom aka MOON AND ARIES.
 
"It's cold, and it's too late but I see the light 
It's cold, in the middle of nowhere I watch it all go by 
If I can't save you 
No one else will save you 
And I don't wanna leave you behind 
If you can't believe me 
Then you'll never see me 
And I'm not about to lie 
It's cold, hold my hand and we'll cross the line 
It's cold, dark and lonely as we come back to life
If I can't love you 
No one else will love you 
As much as I 
And I will be here 
Is there anybody out there
Silence pulses thru the night 
It's cold - It's cold 
From the frozen depths of my sins 
Coming to the surface I'll face my soul 
In the mist I pray for a better day, crystalize,  and escape from the cold
It's cold and I know that now is the time 
It's cold and I want your comfort right by my side 
If I can't love you 
No one else will love you 
As much as I 
And I will be here 
Is there anybody else there 
As we come back to life 
It's cold - It's cold..."

COLD (2025 Remastered)

Pulled this old original song out a few days ago and have been polishing it up. I knew someone long ago that always dreamed of living in the Redwoods in California. Totally inspired me. This is one of those songs that came together over time. I hope you enjoy this live performance I did tonight on my lovely Baldwin piano (Polly) Thanks so much for listening out there! For Bee. 

Redwood Skies 

Standing on the sidewalk looking at the streetlight
Wishing you were here on this cold cold night 
I'd open up my jacket and wrap you up tight 
Letting all our heartbeats feel just right 

You're so beautiful
You don't even have to try
You're so beautiful 
I'll say it till the day I die
Ooo  Ooo Ooo yeah
Ooo Ooo Ooo yeah

Walking in the coldness thinking how the time flies
Craving our life under those redwood skies
I'll always hold your hand through the lows and the highs
Living would be hard without your soft blue eyes

You're so beautiful
You don't even have to try
You're so beautiful 
I'll say it till the day I die
Ooo  Ooo Ooo yeah
Ooo Ooo Ooo yeah

Sitting in the moonlight our moments on repeat
Falling for you harder missing your heartbeat 
Wanting just to hold you and whisper things sweet
Only you can make me feel complete Oh! 

You're so beautiful
You don't even have to try
You're so beautiful 
I'll say it till the day I die
You're so beautiful 
I'll say it till the day I die 
Ooo  Ooo Ooo yeah
Ooo Ooo Ooo yeah

Redwood skies will be ours
Redwood skies will be ours
Oh Oh

1st album by Charlie and the Fox is out now https://open.spotify.com/album/78ewrWZjS41XvHT9mFWd6O?si=qkG2b5LbSK6mo6qDzuZskw 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 .
