Clarity and tenderness of your voice always stuns me, so good!

This track gave me chills! Beautiful work.

this gets into that really sublime & ethereal zone that Kate Bush mapped out a while back; hugely beautiful!

found via FotN Favs - described as a 'wholesome love blanket'- t'is in deed - glad I dropped by :)

Your voice is so beautiful. Like a beautiful musical embrace.

That Train Goes Go My Town

In Search Of Purpose blends delicate solo piano by Francesco Adornetto with the haunting, ethereal voice of Blackbird — a sonic reflection on longing, surrender, and inner stillness.
This piece invites the listener into a meditative space, where questions echo softly and answers float just beyond the horizon.
Perfect for moments of contemplation and quiet connection.

In Search Of Purpose

In Search of Purpose – Vocals by Blackbird

An original song dedicated to my parents. I grew up in a small town in the Allegheny mountains of western Pennsylvania. This tune is a remixed version of the original.

Lyrics:

Sam and Rose, from the Allegheny Mountains
Their love was as deep as the river streams
Lived In the old red house on George Street
With their three sons they dreamed

Through the seasons, they weathered the years
Their bond unbreakable, crystal clear
In the quiet of the night, under starlit skies
Until the end their love shined bright

Mountain love, strong and true
In the heart of those two
Through the storms and the rain
Their love in eternity remains

In the western hills of Pennsylvania
Their love was like a melody
Sung by the wind and the trees
Together forever and free

Mom and Dad, in the big old red house
Their love a beacon in the night
In the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania
Their story of eternal love forever bright

Sam and Rose

I just redid the mix and fixed the drums, and some of the more glaring vocal problems, and got that cool guitar lead to shine a little. It sounds a lot better now.
Please pardon my vocals, this is actually for a female artist. Not autobiographical, just a story. My apologies to Irma Thomas.

You were my angel, and i was under your spell
And you promised life would be a fairytale
But i was no more than your possession
And you put me through hell
Though you called it heaven

And everytime i tried to leave, you’d just wave your hand
And I’d come crawling back on my knees
I would pray you’d treat me better
When you’d smile at me so sad and so sweet

But something’s changed inside, I can see now who you are
and that sweet smile aint gonna get you very far!

Now who’s the one? Who’s down on their knees?
No need to beg, there’s nothing left that you can take from me
You don’t have any power here no more
Well you’ve lost your wings, and I know just what you’re here for
You are no angel, you are a devil, to the core
And you ain’t welcome here no more

Don’t come back inside, don’t put your bags down on the floor
You ain’t welcome here no more

You ain't welcome here no more

Hi everyone and welcome back to my channel!  **I NEVER USE A.I. FOR ANY OF MY SONGS!** Just me & Charlie warts and all! I actually play all the instruments & Charlie sings and plays the Harmonica! We're NOT perfect but we're REAL!! 
This is another of my travels down Memory Lane songs and video. I love to reminisce about the good times when I was a kid and life was ours for the taking! Those sweet memories seem to be diminishing now and being replaced with harsh ones about hatred and division and greed. Okay, but let's stay positive and happy for now because this song is one of joy! Charlie sang it perfectly and once again I got my beautiful wife to come down to the studio and join me in the backing vocals as I did on the song "I Still Remember". It has that same early 60's rock & roll groove to it and we had a fabulous time recording it! This is one of my favorites because it's a story song about being teenagers and having fun! As the French always say "La joie de vivre"!

I worked very hard on the video and storyboarded it like some of my other songs to try and relay that carefree ambiance of youth! My wife at the time was feeling much better and had regained her strength and vibrance after all the cancer treatments the year before. Overall 2009 was a good year and it shows in this song! I hope everyone enjoys it and thanks again for watching and listening! Watch the video and subscribe! "It seems times were always  better and  life was easier to play, somehow we'd always find comfort in tomorrow back in younger days." Take care! 🙏😎✌🏼

“BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS"

TELL ME DO YOU REMEMBER? 
WHEN WE FIRST MET BABE?      
LIFE WAS LONG, THE FUTURE BRIGHT,     
IT WAS IN EARLY SEPTEMBER AND I’LL NEVER FORGET BABE,
HOW WE BOTH FELL IN LOVE THAT NIGHT,
      
WE HAD THE HUNGER IN OUR SOULS, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,    
OUR HEARTS BEAT JUST FOR ROCK & ROLL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,

SO WILD AND SO AMBITIOUS, 
NOTHING EVER MATTERED,             
HAND IN HAND AND DAY TO DAY,    
CHASING DREAMS AND WISHES ON OUR WAY UP THE LADDER,    
WITH ONLY LOVE TO LEAD THE WAY,
     
WE HAD THE WILL TO ALWAYS TRY, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,     
WE HAD THE FIRE IN OUR EYES, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
        
IT SEEMS TIMES WERE ALWAYS BETTER,        
AND LIFE WAS EASIER TO PLAY,        
SOMEHOW WE’D ALWAYS FIND COMFORT IN TOMORROW,          
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
                  
ROLLIN’ DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH THE RADIO BLARING,    
UNSURE JUST WHERE WE HAD TO BE,    
WE WERE GONNA DO THINGS OUR WAY, 
UNINHIBITED AND DARING,  
WAS HOW WE FACED OUR DESTINY,
     
WE NEVER HID OUR FEELINGS WELL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,   
WE SHOT THEM DOWN & GAVE THEM HELL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
      
CUTTIN’ CLASS IN HIGH SCHOOL, 
RUNNIN’ AROUND & HAVIN’ FUN,   
OUT OF CONTROL EVERY NOW AND THEN,     
THERE WERE NEVER ANY RULES, 
TWO OUTLAWS ON THE RUN,     
YES LIFE WAS DIFFERENT WAY BACK WHEN,
      
WE HAD THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT THEM ALL, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,     
WE HAD THE FUTURE BY THE BALLS, 
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS, 
          
IT SEEMS TIMES WERE ALWAYS BETTER,     
AND LIFE WAS EASIER TO PLAY,           
SOMEHOW WE’D ALWAYS FIND COMFORT IN TOMORROW,           
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,
          
IT SEEMS TIMES WERE ALWAYS BETTER,       
AND LIFE WAS EASIER TO PLAY,        
SOMEHOW WE ALWAYS FIND COMFORT IN TOMORROW,           
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,        
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,          
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS,       
BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS.

"BACK IN YOUNGER DAYS" (Video - https://youtu.be/f5LvddjxBSU)

I wrote this piece last year, shortly after I had come to my 75th birthday, and as my 76th is fast approaching, I thought to share with you this piece now......
I hope you will like it...

Poem: William Blake
"Ah! Sun-flower" is a poem by William Blake, published in his collection Songs of Experience in 1794. The poem explores themes of longing, weariness, and the human desire for something beyond earthly existence, using the sunflower as a symbol. 

A big thank you to you Torbjørn, what a great joy to sing this beautiful poem.

Poem: William Blake

Ah! sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller’s journey is done;

Where the youth pined away with desire,
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves and aspire;
Where my sunflower wishes to go.

Ah! Sun-flower. Torbjørn Vagle. Oddrun Eikli

Tom's piano melodies are so inspirational, not just to me (Mark) but also to Jussi, Georg and Boon. The energy of this piece carried us all off on a wonderful journey. We hope you enjoy the joyful enthusiasm that Tom initiated. Tom also gave me the key line, 'My Way Through' and I had to run with it as it made so much sense with this uplifting and hopeful music. Thanks for listening.

Wherever you’re bound you know I’ll, 
Make my way through 
Sure may take a little while
 But I’ll make my way through

Wherever I’m bound I know I’ll,
 Make my way through
 It may take a longer while 
Till I make my way through

Wherever you’re bound,
…You’re bound
I know that I’m bound, yeah!

When I get there you know I’ll
Make my way through
Sure may need a broader smile
But I’ll make my way through.

The day is here! The EP 'For the Money' is now out. This is a sneaky bonus track. 
50% proceeds go to mental health charities.

Fresh Fav, with lovely review from Johnno.

"The bonus track needs little explanation but there was a curious set of circumstances that brought it to life. Though Nic's lyrics are normally a stream of consciousness that only make sense after the event, Crystal and Crime, originally meaning something quite different, subsequently appeared in a dream, arranged for strings this time. During this peculiar dream, a whale swam around Nic. When she woke up, it somehow felt like there was a whale somewhere telling her something. (We said she was mad, didn't we? We did.). The track and this arrangement was born."

(From the track Crystal and Crime - 

Crystal and crime halted our tongue. 
Breathing was mine while they held my lung. 
Caught in this middle, falling outside.
We were the pure and still purified. 
Sensational.
(We turned to the shore, we turned to the shore...)

*BONUS EP TRACK* ~ Letters From the Whale (Crystal & Crime)

Independent singer-songwriter from Kent, UK. 
Little video introduction here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKMPLBJBK6M

'No Sheet Music' Artist. https://www.nosheetmusic.tv/artists/nic-evennett

"Evennett’s voice is a delicate mystery, warm and lustrous, yet fragile and crystalline – a bewitching blend of Kate Bush and Linda Perhacs, surrounded by dolorous, reverb-drenched piano and woven into broken-hearted balladry." Andee Connors, Pandora 

"Moving, delicate and introspective. As always, Nic Evennett's voice washes over the listener creating an incubated space I didn't want to leave."
Rapt.
