Thank Li, you're too kind. I'll link it but it's a bit foolish! 

A fool’s day to record and release a first demo of ‘In Summertime’, debut single released from my forthcoming ‘Lochdoon’ album.  Wishing everyone better times ahead and to bringing us ALL together again.  As they say; Stay Safe, Stay Home, Stay Local, Stay in Scotland!

In Summertime (1st take, 1st April, 2021) NUSchellenberg

This is my contribution to the Christmas song market. A song based in the 80's wham and George Michael with all the trimmings including Syn Drums and all. It's a bit of a fun song. Ho Ho Ho , Sing along and bop along. I hope it becomes your favorite Christmas song. Right up there beside White Christmas and the Little Drummer Boy. Defiantly a great Party song .   
Written , played produced by Johnny Mc Farlane 2023 . 
Hope you enjoy riding in the Snow :-))))))))) Ho Ho Ho

This Empty World 

It is hard to escape the unrest in the world at the moment, horrific picture of  starving children, millions dying in wars, Psychopaths running countries and threatening nuclear war if they don’t get what they want. Very frightening times. 

All of this is having a profound effect on me and I am sure on a lot of normal people and I wonder, do these So called leaders have any idea of the effect all of these bombs going off and exhaust from tanks and jets is having on our Atmosphere ? what would happen to humanity if they actually did press that Nuclear button?  Armageddon would be released followed by disease and mother earth would fight back. 

With this as a mental backdrop, I had an idea for a song about the last human being left alive on Earth after such an event. There would have to be a “ Last man standing “  A bitter sweet experience to have survived nuclear wars, pandemic after pandemic and the death of life on the planet but to be All alone in this empty world. I had the music but not the lyrics. I sent off what I had to my Friend and musical collaborator Finn Eces and what you are about to hear is the amazing result.

Thank you Finn for the Lyrics, such top class vocals and harmonies and a Class mix and professional Production .

This Empty World 

In the stone dead mist there stands the world's last man 
In his stone cold fist holds the world’s last plan 
Now the skies don’t speak  and silent oceans wreak 
not another soul to seek in this empty world 

In this empty world, This empty world  

In the silent streets was heard, a weak heartbeat 
Will our own disease be our last defeat ? 
Mother earth is ill  and her breath grows still 
Just one more grave to fill this empty world 

This empty world
This empty world  

Chorus
Is there anyone here to remember me ? 
Is there anyone here to recall ? 
Does anyone see ? 
Does anyone hear ? 
I don’t what to the be the last 

This empty world,
this empty world  
In this Empty World, 
this Empty World


Chorus
Is there anyone here to remember me ? 
Is there anyone here to recall ? 
Does anyone live ? 
Does anyone breath ? 
Lights went out and now the darkness reigns 
In this empty world in this empty world

I was recently on holiday in Lanzarote and i was caught in a Rip Tide. A really scary experience and i am very glad that i lived to tell the tale. I was only about 2 feet from the shore and i could not reach the shore because of the power of the Rip Tide, no matter how hard i swam, i was certainly drowning. All of a sudden a young local man saw that i was in danger and with no regard for his own life just jumped right in and somehow managed to get me to the shore. It was a truly heroic act on his part. It took me about 45 mins to get myself together from the shock and the Adrenaline. I found him and thanked him and i am ashamed to say that i do not even know his name. Thank you .

When i was reflecting on this experience i realised that life is like a Rip Tide. It pulls you out to sea and sometime we really do need someone to Literally jump in and save us, or throw us a life buoy to get us to safety. This song is about being caught in the Rip Tide of life and dedicated to the young man who saved my life . 

Written and performed by Johnny Mc Farlane

Rip Tide

An instrumental song written for string quartet + piano + oboe, with oboe playing the starring role.

I was in a pretty jolly mood when I wrote most of this and I think it influenced the way the song came out - most of the time I'm not trying to capture any specific emotion when writing but this song is sort of an exception, at least in places.

Score: https://musescore.com/user/28784368/scores/5104222

First upload of a new album that I'll be uploading one song at a time over the next few months. 

Hope you enjoy!

What We Find

Murmur

Enjoy listening and just occasionally singing (to myself) 'Bothy Ballads' from The North East of Scotland. Influenced in my teens by legendary folk singer Marc Floyd Ellington and Charlie Allan. 

'Written' a few very simple lockdown ballads in the 12 months since the global pandemic struck and tried to learn the guitar...it helps!
