...I'm curious who manages to listen to the entire almost 10 minute track! 🤍

This arose from a collaboration between my friend Gert-Jan from the Netherlands and me. He sent me his ideas and I added the beat, the arps and other instruments. Our friend Pieter played the saxophone solos on this track.

The final part of our EP The Hope Of The Sunrise https://soundcloud.com/turtle-project
Lyrics:-
He made it to the ocean
And sat down on the sand
He noticed the changes
He held it in his hand
A new inner knowing
His heart felt so light
Just as the sky turned orange
The horizon got bright

Life is hope
Life is faith
Life is trusting yourself
It's never too late
Life is hope
Life is faith
Life is trusting yourself
It's never too late

Ah The hope of the sunrise
Ah The hope of the sun rising now.

When You're Invisible

'my love'

Times have been hard on you and I.
Our blinds have been drawn blocking out the sunshine.
Let's pull them up and let's see what we may find.
For I need your love, you'll always have mine.
My love. You're my love. 

I'm mesmerized by your beauty and your mind.
Still, after these years, I'm amazed that you're mine.
Especially after my mistakes and selfish times.
I must hold on to you for you are divine.

my love

Well this one is different . I asked Andrea to send me some mythical lyrics , which she did , and I put a basic idea for a song together . When I sent it to Axel to have a play about with it he completely transformed it into what it is  now . With his instrumentation and production , and Andreas fantastic and inspired lyrics , this is ( hopefully ) a joy to listen to , enjoy ! Next up on the 1st of November is a moody blues/rock song by Dave Cooper and myself , closely followed by 2 songs by myself . Me and Dave , and me and Gaz have just completed songs yet to have a release date , and me and Charlotte are half way through a new one . Thank you so much for listening .
Intro

Legend says a fortune

Can be found upon this earth

The map is in the Constellations

A myth of royal worth


V1

Queen Cassiopeia 

Known for her boastful vanity

Thought too highly of herself 

And enraged the powers that be


Punished by Poseidon

She was cast into the sky

Upon a golden throne she sits

Celestial she flies


Chorus 

Oh, she's beautiful

She sparkles in the night

Oh, she's beautiful

Majestic mystic sight (x2)


V2

She moved with the seasons

Slowly turning upside down

All the jewels adorning her

They fell upon the ground


The five bright stars denoting 

Five lost precious gems

The path to treasure can be yours

Connect the dots my friends


Chorus

Oh, she's beautiful

She sparkles in the night

Oh, she's beautiful

Majestic mystic sight (x3)


Solo duel


The five bright stars denoting 

Five lost precious gems

The path to treasure can be yours

Connect the dots my friends


Chorus

Oh, she's beautiful

She sparkles in the night

Oh, she's beautiful

Majestic mystic sight (x2)


Outro

Drawing from the leftfield avant-pop of Arthur Russell and Talking Heads, progressive disco of Nile Rodgers and contemporary ambient electronica, Retiree channel these influences through their own pervasive aura of rum-drunk antipodean sunshine. The result is music that is in equal parts lush, thoughtful melody and meditative tropical rhythm. 

The EP sees joint international release between Rhythm Section International and Plastic World - purveyors of southern hemisphere groove-driven underground pop (GL, Savoir).

Not What You Were Hoping For?

Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to listen, like and share my noises. I am extremely grateful. My apologies if I take a little while to respond to those that leave nice comments.

I like listening to music, making simple, tunes when I have time, and generally faffing about in an inefficient manner. Hopefully you might like something on offer here. 

I use a Hinkler Cigar Box guitar (about $30 from Aldi, great fun), a Flying V ukulele, a couple of old keyboards, other bits and bobs, and a Yamaha tenor saxophone.
