really good stuff here..something to be said for simple direct ..like the lyrics..be yourself/stand your ground/take control...like the change in vocal tone /pace at 120

Love the simplicity, your voice suits solo guitar. : D

Brilliant 
Bravo

Standing Still

“Inspired by own mental health, the lyrics to this track came so quickly and highlights wanting peace of mind and being free from the challenges that mental health can create - to be able to let go of it all and live life to the fullest.”

A song about mental health - “Everything”

Its been a long time coming 
I can say this for myself
I only want whats mine
A simple peace of mind
A simple place of mine, my own 
my own

I will treat it like the last time
On my way to the finish line 
I'm taking back what is mine
I’m not settling this time

I can feel it in my heartbeat
Once again walking down this street
I'm letting go of everything
Living and letting go of everything

Its been a long time coming and I know
I can feel this in myself, in myself I feel it
Sometimes I want to explode
Sometimes I feel I’ll implode
I’m moving on, here’s my everything 
All that I’ve got to give

Hear me now
My open heart is screaming
Screaming out 
You’re in my brain that is freer now
I’m starting to believe again, in me 
in me

Everything (2023)

Hiya Peoples! 😊

As seeds, budding plants, shrubs and bears awaken from the depths of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and Spring comes, we're delighted to finally Release a New Track for Spring of 2023! 😎  
   
We call it 'Awakening'. 

And thank goodness that as usual, the fingers of Tim Elliot are on his Telecaster and mine on the ancient Upright Grand Piano .

and together, they work their magic as we continue to explore the sonic landscape together through Improvisation.

Of course this can only happen within a space of Deep Listening.  A place Musicians can go in their totally individual inimitable ways.                      
                                                                                                                               
In our case, we almost immediately found ourselves being 'Led' into a Tonal Awakening....
Subtle grooves that were an outer manifestation of the Joy we were experiencing as we explored the spaces in between the notes.  😊  

Of course, the very best kind of Awakening is to one's own inimitable Truth, no matter the noise and apparent confusion all around. And sure... there's all kinds of negativity and nonsense in this ol world, but who needs to Awaken to that? It's more than obvious!
 
Far better to explore and express one's unique Creativity! To share the Love one feels for whatever they're passionate about, through their Music! 😉

May you enJOY what Tim and i have been up to lately.

The feeling of finding out we are not alone in the universe.

I've felt inspired by some of the great live performances on SoundCloud recently, and I was working on a track that I ended up overcooking. So I thought I'd share a nice simple one mic recording instead, just me, guitar and a sleeping dog. Also added this one to my One mic recordings playlist on my profile.

Thanks for listening and inspiring as always greatly appreciated.

lyrics

You made a vow to try to bring me down
worked for about an hour or two
quit pushing pulling me around
been a little while I'll figure out what I can do

nothing comes from hate they say
nothing much I know
but I'm ploughing my own fields to today
sitting back I'm gonna watch them grow

up through the sky
up through the sky

dawn it breaks
birdsong please sing me something new
don't follow the road
they lay down in front of you

march out a beat to your own blues
march out a beat to your own blues

and when that rain it falls
it don't bother me at all
now that I'm just a prisoner
in the storm

You made a vow to try to bring me down
and it worked for about an hour or two

Beat To Your Own Blues

This World Is Not My Home

Sometimes our hearts look to someone who is not so easy a fit, someone who is not physically near or isn’t embraced by friends and family, or some such tabu. We wrestle with what doesn’t come easy yet seems so right and natural. In the end the heart should always win. This original song is another one of my raw “live” iPhone recordings with an added vocal harmony. Bare bones, just like the sentiment.

"So Far" by Craig Durgy

So many years before you found me
And yet there’s nowhere here to stay
Reaching beyond most every boundary
Close never felt so far away

Shouldn’t I shout like Christmas morning
So the whole wide world would know
That my heart is finally soaring
Like it never has before

But what have we done, 
What have we gained 
Why does the song just fade away in a refrain
Gone are the leaves, we are the trees 
And naked to the world I freeze  
Love is such a cold disease, but you
You are like a gentle summer rain

But as I shout, so many doubt me
They want the fettered man they knew
They’d have to face themselves without me
They’d rather look for faults in you

And for a moment I was hopeless 
Thinking that love could never be
But in your smile I finally focused 
On believing you love me

But what have we done, 
What have we gained 
Why does the song just fade away in a refrain
Gone are the leaves, we are the trees 
And naked to the world I freeze  
Love is such a cold disease, but you
You are like a gentle summer rain

So Far

Thanks for stopping by, really appreciate all the feedback that I've had from the wonderful SoundCloud community. It's always a pleasure to  hear new music from other  artists, and I have been greatly inspired by  all the amazingly talented musicians, poets, singers and songwriters right here on SoundCloud.

All tracks recorded at home on my tascam 8 track.

I have some other music available in bandcamp,  but my latest music is generally here on SoundCloud. Cheers!
