beautifully realised atmospheric piece. The guitar sounds huge, the synth otherwordly and the production is excellent

Me and you, watching the clouds go by.

Perhaps best known by Roberta Flack’s beautiful recording, this song was written by Irishman Ewan MacColl back in the 50’s. I recorded this on my iPhone VoiceMemos and simply added a harmony later. It’s a straight forward, simple acoustic interpretation of these lovely lyrics of love.

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Ewan MacColl cover)

I recently listened, enthralled, to a wonderful piece of music here on SC, encapsulating Seagull's childhood memories of boats and the sea, produced in collaboration with David and his guitar artistry.  Having grown up on the banks of a river on the edge of the North Sea in a culture where fishing was an integral part of the local DNA, I enthused about the music; it absolutely captured the essence of sea salt in the air, and the dreams and memories it evokes.  I was thrilled therefore when David came up with a suggestion.....

Seagull, David, thank you so much for allowing me to add my own little nuance to this work;  I'm very proud indeed to be part of the result.

The photo is of herring boats at the quayside in North Shields, at the mouth of the River Tyne, England, around the turn of the last century.

My sanctuary from archive gleans
The gentle times, wherein my mind 
Recalls a childhood spent in dreams
Of bobbing boats on ocean spied.

Here, the call of a benevolent sea
The briny, perfumed honesty
Of adolescent memories.

But whence this salty desert sea
Where once the skinny trawler plied?
Plastic water ocean streams
Where finny, swimmy fish should lie.

Silenced of the chuggy motors
Decimated by their quotas
Where the haddock, cod and herring bloaters?

The factory ships that hoovered clean
Of scaly friends the sea main wide.
Its cheaply speckled high protein
Squandered as the herring gull cried.

Where the fishers, where the boats?
Where the nets, and yellow rubber coats?
Where the pots, and lines and corky floats?

...wherein my mind 
Recalls a childhood spent in dreams
Of bobbing boats on ocean spied.
Why, they set sail for the past it seems,
Upon tomorrow's ebbing tide.

Variation on a Theme by Sanshu Seiso - First Part of Triptych

The magnificent work of Sanshu Seiso, from which this variation was directly and slavishly derived, is here: https://soundcloud.com/sanshu-seiso/y-brume 

I am most grateful to Sanshu Seiso, for graciously allowing me to attempt variations....entirely inspired by his masterpiece. If there be any merit in this piece, full credit is due to Sanshu Seiso. Mistakes, on the other hand, are mine alone.

There is a mausoleum offshore.
On the blue dark water.

Photo captures Beachy Head cliffs near Eastbourne.
Place of immense beauty where nature exercises its might.
Beachy Head also has its dark side.

''Estimates vary of the number of annual deaths at Beachy Head, from 20 per year to many more. In 2010, it was the third most common suicide spot in the world, after the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and the Aokigahara Woods in Japan, according to The Wall Street Journal''

I don’t have as much time at the moment to be on Soundcloud. I always appreciate listens and feedback and will respond when I can.

Thank you for visiting. It’s always appreciated. 
You’ll mostly find blues colliding with other sounds, styles and traditions here. Lots of improvisation. Lots of guitar and some other instruments. Hope you find something to enjoy!
