Lançamentos (Junho 2020) #Rock #Indie #Alternative #NewWave #Pop

This is the first song I ever wrote, and literally means more to me than words can express. I originally wrote it in 2004 and recorded a demo in 2005; it's taken me this long to record a proper version, mainly because I only now feel able to do the song the justice it deserves :-D I thank the universe for gifting me such a beautiful song :-D I hope you like it :-D

Everything you hear is me, all the instruments, the vocals and the production, except for some guest harmonies by the gorgeous Asia Pracz :-D

Will We Ever Get To Mars

This is my first solo EP. I wrote all the songs, played all the instruments myself (except for the lead guitar in 'Keeping Them On The Ground' by Jon Tufnell of The Lost Souls Club and Saint Agnes) sang all the vocals, and produced the whole thing in my home studio :-)

Luckless

The Original theme I wrote for Max & Paddy's Rd to Nowhere was only around 30 secs long, to work with the TV Title sequence ... But - the chance of me writing a full version to be sung by the legend that is Tony Christie, was just too good to pass up!
And the icing on the cake - as well as the whole music track,I actually produced him singing it!
I LOVE Pete Hilton's drum fill on the intro!
Nice bass playing from Richard Benson too.
And I have to say - my Hammond work ..... blah blah blah!
Special thanks to the Stockport horns (Helena Summerfield & Mark Gilbanks)

Road to Nowhere - (from Max & Paddy's Rd to Nowhere) sung by Tony Christie

BBC Introducing East Midlands Track of the Week - 25/05/20

Michael wrote Dead and Buried after being laid off work on a Friday morning. Half-remembered drunken mishaps filtering through a hazy hangover, he lay on his bed with his unplugged Stratocaster. Enthusiasm was low. But sometimes, you've just got to write. Cracks were beginning to form in a long-term relationship, fuelling the lyrics and pumping the track full of rage. Dead and Buried is about self-destruction. The term is used to describe the need to move on from all of the nonsense that was causing such frustration. An hour and a half later, the song was finished.

Dead And Buried

Break The Silence 

I just want to forgive
I just want to forget

Breaking through the silence
Trapped in our own hell
Stranded  as our time runs out
To save us from ourselves 


Verse 1

Watching the last sun fall
As the tide begins to rise
Longing for a comfort
Found beyond our darkened skies
Reaching out to find a way
Forever living yesterday
Struggling to find my place in this existence


Chorus 1

Breaking through the silence
Trapped in our own hell
Stranded as our time runs out
To save us from ourselves 

Verse 2

Unwelcome realisation
Of this cold it bites the bone
Pervasive sense of detachment
 sets in when you’re alone
This longing just perpetuates
The isolation that you face
Never seem to find a place 
That we can make our own 
And all we ever needed 
Was somewhere to call home


Bridge

We are the choices that we face
We are the mistakes that we make
It’s not to late to change our fate
It’s not to late to change

Chorus 

Breaking through the silence
Trapped in our own hell
Stranded as our time runs out
To save us from ourselves 

Broken and alone
Can you heal my soul

Break The Silence

Named one of BBC Introducing in the East Midlands’ most played artists of 2019 and 2020, Michael Vickers is a British singer-songwriter from Leicester. His combination of indie-rock, folk, and heartfelt, anecdotal lyrics delivered with a raw, rap inspired vocal has had audiences describing his music as “clever, captivating, beautiful, vivacious, unique and spellbinding."

"A bit of a legend on this programme. His lyrics are clever and he’s sensational live.” - Dean Jackson, BBC Introducing.

As well as performing at De Montfort Hall Gardens in the summer of 2019 with his band, he has featured in promotional videos for Roland showcasing some of their latest musical equipment, signed publishing deals to BMG and has had his tracks placed in TV and Film.
