for Abigail Marjorie Lockhart

Well I dont know why you looked at me that way
Im just an old man with not much going on
Nothing left to give no real reason to live
Yet you fell into my arms

I whispered youre beautiful and you looked at me then smiled
said my worlds a better place with you in it
please stay here with me for a while
Dont go
Stay stay stay

Abby please dont go
Dont you go

The touch of your hand made me understand
that theres life in the old dog yet
Not much I admit but more than I thought
so I thank you so much for the gift

I whispered youre beautiful and you looked
at me in the way that you do
Said youll make a wonderful doctor
if you only just see it on through

Dont go
Stay stay stay stay stay

Abby please dont go
Dont you go
Abby dont go
Please dont go

I love to dream cause
when I close my eyes to dream
the impossible becomes the reallity

life in the old dog yet

Find A Way

ESTACION QUILICURA INVIERNO DEL ANO 2023

I composed this song many years ago but I updated the tune in 2023. 

Lyrics

I’m sitting here thinking
What are you doing 
I hope you’re doing fine; I do miss you so

That sweet smile you have
Leaves a picture in my mind
All I can do, is just think of you

Everybody needs someone to be close to
Everybody needs someone to confide with
Cause being lonely, never helped nobody, and all I can do s just think of you

When I’m with you
Everything seems so fine
I give you all I have, just give me love in return

I’ll share my love with you
If only you stay near
I really don’t know what I’d do, if some day you were gone

Everybody Needs Someone (Remaster)

The Great Escape

Continuing with my revival project.
This is a new recording of a very old song of mine written back in my university days.   I studied engineering but I never practiced and eventually became a supply chain guy in the I.T. industry.   I hesitated in sharing this one because when I listen to it now so many years later, it really doesn't mean much. It was all aroused by the inferior complex of being in a second stream college.

Just hope you would still like the song.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
There was once an erratic city					
	Inside was a few dominant factories				
With the principles of jigs & fixtures					
	Making components to build up the picture				
					
There's a product A and there's a product B					
	In fact there is not much difference in quality				
Brand A produced a smaller quantity					
	By logic it’s of a higher degree				
					
"Brand A is much more expensive					
	(but) their reputation sure fits me well"				
That's what the customers said					
	Never mind the technical detail…………				
					
Oh well, here they go				
	Inject materials and do the show			
Choose the speed, apply the feed,				
	Leave to the machines to complete			
				
Which way does the wind blow				
	Don't ever ask us, we don't know			
Fourier Series, Surface Integral,				
	Daily routines, off we go………….			
				
Here we are, back in the mixture				
	of lousy jigs & inaccurate fixtures			
As long as we can build up the picture				
	Who will care about the surface texture ?

You know the feeling you get
When your eyes first meet?
You get a tingling sensation
Your heart skips a beat

You want to soak it up forever
Without it you will die
That feeling’s there every time
I look in your eyes

Welcome to this love story
Here it is in all its glory
Pouring my heart out
For all the world to see

It's hard to pull myself together
I don't know any more
All I know I never felt like this
No time, no time before

Welcome to this love story
Here it is in all its glory
Pouring my heart out
For all the world to see
I could have sworn it's all just a dream
Just something my mind has seen
But here you are, standing standing standing
Right beside me

What were the chances we would get together?
You’d give odds, a million to one?
Was it fate, serendipity, whatever
We’re at chapter one

(And our story’s just begun) 

Welcome to this love story
Here it is in all its glory
Pouring my heart out
For all the world to see
I could have swore it's all just a dream
Just something my mind has seen
But here you are, standing standing standing
Right beside me

Lyrics:

High expectations, wishes and demands
You just wanted more and more
Your ego shone through..

You were insatiable
never got enough
I was exhausted
Did everything for you..

You were never satisfied
No matter how hard I tried
so I give up
Baby, you're now on your own..

I never had time to take care of me
You made sure that i could only see you..

I ran out, had nothing more to give
I decided
This is not how I want to live.. 

You were never satisfied
No matter how hard I tried
So I give up
Baby, you're now on your own..

You were insatiable
Never got enough
I was exhausted
Did everything for you..

You were never satisfied
No matter how hard I tried
So I give up
Baby, you're now on you're own..

If you hadn't been so selfish
If you could be satisfied
It could have been us
You would still have me in your life..

But now you're on your own
I am moving on
And you have to deal with everything alone..

You were never satisfied
No matter how hard I tried
So I give up
Baby, you're now on your own!

Lyrics:

How will they know, the ones for whom we care
That God is love and with us everywhere
That life is good with blessings all can share
How will they know unless we teach them so

How will they learn that though they go astray
God will forgive and help them find the way
How will they feel the Spirit day by day
How will they know unless we teach them so

How will they grow in wisdom and delight
How will they choose to follow what is right
How can they trust the future will be bright
How will they know unless we show them

How will they live when they at last are grown
What will they give to children of their own
Will they reflect the values we have shown
How will they know as on through life they go
How will they know unless we strive to teach them so

How Will They Know?

Saddest Christmas

Wallowing in the warmth of lower mids and melancholic melody.
Recorded, mixed and mastered on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio. 


Take a large bucket. Add a pint of Neil Young, a pinch of Glen Hansard. Wack in a tea spoon of Damien Rice, then an ickle bit of Tom Mcrae. Shove in a hand full of Mike Scott, a heaped table spoon of Neil Finn and a large dollop of Conor J. O'Brien. Mix with a big stick then strain through an old sock. Pour. What you have is a little bit of Mr C.

Hello good people of the cloud.
I play everything in real time and record and master on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio. Although three of the older songs on here where recorded on a 8 track tape recorder through an old seck analogue desk.
No pc's are used or abused in the process of me music making. I love tactile recording. Switches, faders, pots and buttons. Mouses are for computers and eating cheese. No Mac, Daws or Windows, Midi or overused plugins. And no automated mixing, compromise being a large part of my final sound.

Hope you enjoy some of the music that I make, please feel free to share and comment.

I now have another page, link below, of songs recorded from 1999 to 2012 on an 8 track tape machine.
