The Awakening (The Day The Dreams Ran Dry)

The Curlew's call is such an evocative, somewhat melancholic cry.  Here I have allowed the curlew to lead while I have followed with a simple piano melody, building a soundscape with some addition instrumentation, creating a moment of 'mindfulness'

Call Of The Curlew

We think that we are all immune to Nature's laws ...

Immune feat. Paul Midcalf (drums)

Though I'm much older now you won't have changed at all
None of the scars that time inflicts upon us all
You left this world a better place and I still care
I'm so glad that you were there

I Still Think of You

Inspired by watching a Steve Rothery Concert at Amager Bio

Amager (Standing Tall)

Time is passing so quickly now there's hardly space to breathe
Days to months, so many wasted years, the prize just gets further out of reach

Hopes and schemes seem to fade away and weary limbs so often fail
To catch our most ambitious dreams, promises that remain are empty still

Ah where did it all go wrong, where did those chances go
Ah, now I have learned at last, you can't reap what you don't sow

I understand the fatal greed, the burning need to sow a seed, 
The need to see behind the door and fear to find that fatal flaw, 
Those flaws are there within us all but we can choose to live or fall 
if we decline to chase our goal we might destroy our very soul

When you were a child they were always there
To wipe away all your tears
A guiding hand, always a soothing voice
Protecting you …. from all of your fears

With mind full of hope, you dreamt of gold
And time it was still on your side
But restless nights and oh so many false dawns
In the end you just turned out the light

 Ah where did it all go wrong so many dreams undone
Ah,  now all the songs are sung, our days have almost run

A Pauper's Harvest

Philosophic look at how our minds can take us in the wrong direction

Inside our Minds

My attempt to cover the brilliant song by Genesis from the Album Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

Carpet Crawler (Cover of song by Genesis)

My version of the Phil Collins Song In the Air Tonight with elements of the Steve Hackett song Every Day 

In the Air Tonight  / Every Day (Cover)

Blues-inspired song with the message that being born in an affluent country is pure chance - We didn't choose our colour, race or sex yet we too often treat badly those coming from disadvantaged backgrounds.  After all, we are all accidents of birth!
