Brilliant work @mrcagey! Luv the instrumentation and delivery of the heartfelt lyrics. Your mixes are always stellar!

Moved beyond words (except for these, I guess). Sorry I missed this shining diamond, Kevin. Just a breathtakingly brilliant take on this agonising subject. Your songwriting makes our lives go better. Seriously. Take a bow.

Very nice pop song with good production ✨ The vocals are great 🫶✌️

Love your voice brother! i think this is my favorite of your work. Really enjoyed this.

What a strong track my friend. Loving the variety of instruments, especially the synth sounds you used....great vocals and samples too. So well produced.

An emotional trip into one's despair & isolation. Magnificent throughout….the intro horns / strings morph into drones that lift & deliver so gently into the opening vocal - same effect at mid-song.  Though belied a bit by the instrumentation, overall your style feels to be inspired by basic old school soul.

its waiting for us all my friend. A beautifully crafted tune with a sad story but beautifully told. Johnny

your music is always emotionally moving...Well Done Kevin

loving this spacey dreamy celestial bridge!

beautifully tender and sensitive, deeply feeling the sympathy and loneliness, incredible complex emotional composition, love the dynamic heightening of emotion in the arrangement, incredible song crafty Mr Cagey!

Thank you so much @monnodb for the voice at the end.


on the other side of nowhere in between the nothing she cries
a flicker of a memory drifts into longing and dispair why?

gone is the laughter from feeling to just being
existing in complete isolation
eyes open wide all but dead deep inside
just a shell of the woman

she sits in the darkness alongside delusions and agitation
time shift is a constant through the window to the garden
she stares avidly

gone is the laughter from feeling to just being
existing in complete isolation
eyes open wide all but dead deep inside
just a shell of the woman


gone is the laughter from feeling to just being
existing in complete isolation
eyes open wide all but dead deep inside
just a shell of the woman

shell

Wallowing in the warmth of lower mids and melancholic melody.
Recorded, mixed and mastered on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio using vintage gear gathered over many years.


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.
