this gorgeous music and tribute and story for Chris reminds me of the great soundtrack to something Pat Metheny did - A Falcon and a Snowman.  Spectacularly beautiful soaring stuff you may have heard.  Jonathan Livingston Seagull was a movie you may know too that was about a soaring bird.  Check out too on Falcoln the stunning visuals.  But it is Pat's gradual moving music that changes the story.

some really beautiful synth work and chords.  The violin work is especially authentic, the bows sound so good

here's the Pat Metheny link:  the movement of his guitar and the bass and synths is magic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBKym8355vk

This is my favorite song of yours.  Excellent.

colossal symphonic opening...great mix, too.

Nice guitaring and tone...interesting timing.

Poetic journey with a inspiring leading guitar!

a bit of 'emotional zen' 😂 ☸ ..........  .......  ...   .
the pastor sings along with a 'new age' radio station and his memories
everything is ephemeral...sometimes.... :)

sometimes you rest
just right
into the day
sometimes your
little troubles seem
to fade away
on the divine wind
that blows
why ? i don't know
some.....................times

blows away
all the sins
leaves you clean
again...

and underneath that burning sun
we found a place where life 'begun' (😂)
again, anew
me & you
in the wil-der-ness

and under stars
at night
me and you dreamed
big
until the morning light
came in again
over the surface
of your skin

and we were not scared
by the universe
and we didn't care for distance
but distance is all we got
now

tell me the story
of the silver sea
the one where the waves
were lapping on the shore
sing me the songs
of your history
and all that came before

cause we are strangers
in an alien wilderness
wondering will we
ever see
all that happ-in-ess
is

underneath that burning sun
some times
we float free
you and me
bound in between
the rhythms and the rhymes

and it's
summertime

summertime
...again

summertime ('the pastor's drive - divine wind' version)

From cycle to cycle, season to season, Life unfolds and moves on, 
With us, or without us. 
'Tis largely our choice, i think.  😉

As for me, i will move with it, 
even if crossing the bridge between past and future 
seems daunting and perilous. 
For herein is the creative adventure,
where the art of Living is discovered! 😉

May you enJOY. 😊

From Season To Season

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and took the time to listen to this track.
Precious time with loved ones is the most joyful time in life.
Now, people's kindness and contact are decreasing, and loneliness and difficulties
Sometimes you have to go through it alone. I believe that love can grant courage and hope.
Please enjoy the time to nurture a wonderful love.

One's intimate Love

Accidental interest

This track is dedicated to the memory of Chris A and the time that was 'Elidor'. "I hope you are flying somewhere with that big grin on your face" 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This track was very much a collision of ideas. I wanted to follow on from The North Shore and actually take the listener into the air to experience the feeling and freedom of flying like a bird. Additionally the track title "Flight of Fancy" was the title of an original instrumental  played by a band I was in in the early 80's. The keyboard player in that band is sadly no longer with us, so I decided to try and reinvent the spirit of that time as a musical tribute to Chris.  

Enjoy your Flight of Fancy :-)

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Background

This track seemed to naturally evolve into three discrete sections with a different musical flavour to each part.

(i) Sunrise (0:00 - 0:58)
As the title suggests, it is my musical imagining of sunrise on the beach with all the grandeur of a new day dawning. A big orchestral sound and timpani seemed the way to go.

(ii) The Shoreline At Dawn (0:59 - 2:28)
Part Two has a much more muted sound as nature begins to stir with the dawn and musically this part acts as a linking section between parts one and three. 

(iii) Into The Air (2:29 - 6:42)
Finally we are into the air and I wanted to give a feeling of flying by the use of rising chords sequences and a string ostinato (a recurring rhythmic or melodic pattern). I also wanted to give a nod to the original Flight of Fancy so it has a variation of the main guitar riff I played back in the early 80's, some interwoven guitar and keyboard parts and harmony with underlying jazzy drum and bass parts.

Flight Of Fancy

A collection of songs, instrumentals and orchestral pieces charting my adventures in home studio recording and production.  All original compositions using voice, acoustic and electric guitar (sometimes using altered tunings), bouzouki, low and high whistles and MIDI instrumentation. 

I'm also using VST instrumentation to create classical compositions and integrating orchestral sounds into my songs and instrumentals.

Links to various instrumental projects and other Social Media links are available below.
