This track should be on 'Repeat'! Damn good melody, hypnotic!

Wow, a track I never noticed before, and really good! Flows very nicely, with such a wonderful guitars ... low key, very nice, superb melodies!

Amazing guitar sound, crystal clear, and excellently played

One of your best melodies, Mike! Love that lead figure! 

Returning to this classical piece, superb classy melody, absolutely great!! The melody has something core Oldfieldian over it, without mimicing, just sharing a certain DNA. And what a great arr, very tasty mix of guitars, far from easy to press home...

Wonderful how this read organ breaks finely between the guitars. Super!

Magic ... where are the soundclouders? This must be played!!!

good stuff

A Song about having High Hopes for Life's Journeys !

In Scenes to Follow

Light & Darkness Impro Jazz 18/07/24

The high life 

She steals the breath out of me
When all I want to do is sin 
I’m leaving the good to the rest 
I’ve been before and I will again 

 Cant do anything without her
Well nothing unless you stay in 
No electricity or power 
Live off the fat of the land 

To keep a life of influence and pride 
I’m in where do I stand ? 
Show me where I can find ? 

She appeals to the rebel in me 
When I wanna go against the grain 
My grip on reality 
Is starting to show the strain 

To live,  a life,  of influence and pride 
I’m in, where do I stand ? 
Show me where, I can find ? 

The high life 
It’s Now or never 
Alright 
Can we get it together 
So nice 
Won’t be forever 
I’m here for the pain 
So I’ll stay for whatever

The High Life

When the evening comes
And the sun is down
Let your shoulders loose 
Wipe away your frown

For today was a good one
Some sadness and tears
Know at this moment
Stood up to my fears

And when you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long
Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Might never know the reason
Or why it’s like this
All I know
It’s the life that I’ll miss

And when you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long
Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

 When you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long

Till I see you again

Till I see you again

Till I see you again

This ain’t really a song

This Ain’t Really A Song

Until The End Of Time

Inspired by “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus, 1883.

They got on boats, and they sailed across the ocean hoping for a better life
They left behind poverty, famine, hardship and strife
She lifted her lamp behind the golden door
She welcomed them with open arms 
But we don’t need those people any more 
We’ll use robots to tend our farms
There’s an angry mob wearing red caps
And they’re pulling on a rope
They’re trying to knock down that statue that gave so many people hope.
They say a rising tide lifts all boats but now it’s every nation for itself
As the billionaires and oligarchs accumulate more wealth
We’re all just living on this rock floating in the vastness of space
You’d think we’d find a way to co-exist as one human race
There’s an angry mob wearing red caps
And they’re pulling on a rope
They’re trying to knock down that statue that gave so many people hope.
Someday if you’re standing there waiting at the pearly gates
With a bunch of other people waiting in line to get into heaven
And you’re filling out God’s paperwork so you can immigrate 
How will answer that question did you love or did you hate 
There are people who call themselves Christians who don’t practice what they preach
They see a man whose down on his luck, and they consider him a human leech
There’s an angry mob wearing red caps
And they’re pulling on a rope
They’re trying to knock down that statue that gave so many people hope.
There’s an angry mob wearing red caps
And they’re pulling on a rope
They’re trying to knock down that statue that gave so many people hope.

Angry Mob Wearing Red Caps

LYRICS

I want to stay
I want to stay home
I want to stay home

I want to stay home
Don't won't to be gone
Pay the yard man through an app
Pay the food man through the slat
Don't talk to me today
Don't talk to me today

I want to be like the pets
Dogs and cats that stay inside
While you're at work
If people knock I'll run and hide 
Run and hide

I want to stay home
It's all on my phone
Get my religion from YouTube
White Lotus has me glued
Leave me alone today
Leave me alone toady
Leave me alone
Want to stay home

I want to be like the pets
Dogs and cats that stay inside
While you're at work
If people knock I'll run and hide
Run and hide

I want to stay
I want to stay home
I want to stay home

Welcome and thanks for listening.. 

Composer of guitar instrumentals from Australia, producng music & film from the home studio in my spare time purely for enjoyment.

Inspired by some of the guitar greats & instrumental bands from the 60's and 70's era. 
I produce mostly original instrumental guitar tracks. a few covers & tributes, and involved in the odd collaboration.

In the spirit of the old Classic Soundcloud, please feel free to leave a comment or like.. would be greatly appreciated. In recent years it's been difficult to leave timeline comments possibly due to some AI issue, but i will certainly try to return by mutual interaction where possible.

To family, followers, friends and Soundcloud, thanks for all the support and inspiration over the years and hopefully many more to come.
Thanks for dropping by and I hope you enjoy the music.
