Gealic / Celtic dance music all along, I feel like dancing and can't get this tune out of my head, well done John

Their stories are very touching. Better a happy life like her beautiful music. Always look ahead

Lovely work, very pleased to have found you!

just awesome and wonderful, thank you John!

Really cool track! I will share it around! The melody is very catchy! A lot of influences there! Cool! :)

Finally as promised for so long, a solo project by John Styles, and many new songs will follow shortly.

As many of you know by now, I am not able to work as fast as I would love to, that is also one of the reasons why I prefer to collaborate with my friends, because is it for me also a big motivation to continue and learn to find the best way to recover / improve my skills all over again and overcome my disabilities.
Between all collabs with my dear friends (for which I am very grateful for their support), I still continue to record / create my solo projects, and it’s my goal to create at least 6 of them each year. 

This creation is an instrumental version of Only Teardrops (eurovision song winner in 2013 sang by Emmelie de Forest for Denmark), but then slightly faster recorded / played then the original.
I started to record this song in July 2016, as I’ve always loved the instrumental version very much, but I couldn’t get the synthesizer sound right, for some reason the sound dragged the overall mix, after I moved into my new studio, I played around by pitching the Bpm, and I noticed that when I increased the tempo slightly everything sounded a lot better (the dragging stopped), at least the way I wanted it to sound like.
Besides the fact that the choirs are not fully 100% as I would love them to be, I think it’s the best I could do for now, I might pick this song up again at a later stage, and try to make everything sound perfect, or make a Orchestral version out of it (and of course make it longer).
Still, I hope you all enjoy this version as much as I did creating & producing it.

Composers (& songwriters):  Lise Cabble, Julia Fabrin Jakobsen and Thomas Stengaard.
Performed and Produced: John Styles

Your comments, advices and critics are very much appreciated as always, cheers John.

John Styles - Only Teardrops

I am John de Bruijn, born in Holland in 1956, since 1972 I'm a songwriter, composer, producer and arranger by the name John Styles, and I recorded several songs within different Projects also with other groups.
I wrote a lot of ballads in the past also for other artists, when i started working within Projects, I started into making background / theme-music for docu's, movies & commercials, and I still do.

For more then 9 years I work together with http://soundcloud.com/matbaker1970, we composed and co-writed together for Themes / Scores / Soundtracks for Films and Docu's, we hope our music might one day be featured in a Film, Docu or Commercial.
We released a charity album: https://soundcloud.com/onevision-crossworlds/love-hope-forever-preview
Our latest projects: https://soundcloud.com/feng-shui-music and we're now working together on Music4Brains Project, in which we're creating music for people with brains enjury, anxiety and overstimulation problems to help them to coop with their dayly problems accepting different types of sounds & noice. 

Our band: http://soundcloud.com/euphoriqa includes Hemmo ( http://soundcloud.com/age-r ) and Ralf ( http://soundcloud.com/bingzhu ) were making covers for fun, we also compose / write songs, which could be used as soundtracks or themesongs too.
With https://soundcloud.com/quenya-projects we ask other musicians to join us to collab on NewAge, Celtic and Folk / experimental type of music.

I also collaborated with many artists over the years, We found the right way to work together, talking on the phone or skype discussing what or how we want things to be build up, and keep sending tracks back and forth till we're all satisfied.
The nice thing of working into those Projects is that you can help new talents on their way, and working with them also gave me other chances, and I became a allround songwriter / composer within all styles and types of music.
I traveled all over the world to scout for new talents, which made me a more fulfilling person, and I feel rich (not moneywise), being so close to so many cultures I learned so much, and I also make Therapy Music for about 10 years now.

I am very happy that my music helps so many people all over the world, and that I can use my talent to help others, so that my God's given gift can be spread out and touch others, I'm blessed to be able to reach so many hearts and souls.
Music is my drive, without it I wouldn't feel alive, it's also a therapy for me, and luckily my family supports me all the way, that makes me a very happy man, and hopefully you'll be able to hear and sense that within my music, ENJOY my music!!!!!
