The Taste of Silica

A deep, emotional song with a meaningful story behind it…

Find You Falling

Part Two of "The Day After"

Close your eyes and imagine the landscape you see before you...

The Day After (part 2) feat. St3v3L33 *released 070225

“The world is becoming increasingly unstable. We wanted to reflect on this in the context of protest songs from the past and how they’re seen in the 21st century. Modern oligarchs condemn Flower Power, peace and environmental movements, and human rights protesters, for the troubles of the world. But it’s actually these despots’ own lies and greed which are to blame for what’s happening in the world right now.”  - Richard Pierce

"It's a travesty that songs like this still need to be written, if only we could sing about love, peace and happiness whilst living in a world of love , peace and happiness, where everyone treats everyone else as an equal and with kindness, love and compassion, but in Richard's words: this is something yet to be seen..." - Marina Florance

were they really golden years
as we drifted through our joy
what ever happened to our smiles
the peace we took for granted

not because the past was best
or that the grass was greener then
it's because what we really need
Is something yet to be seen

don't blame the flowers,
don't blame the girls,
don't blame the colours
don't blame the universal soldiers
he marched away without goodbyes
don't blame him for your lies

we didn't see the warning signs
as we held our eyes closed
the bombs, the blood,
the loss of meaning,
the hate, the deaths, the grieving

don't blame the flowers
don't blame the girls
don't blame the colours
don't blame the universal soldiers

don't blame the flowers
don't blame the girls
don't blame the colours
don't blame the universal soldiers
they marched away without goodbyes
don't blame them for your lies

we did not see the warning signs
as we held our eyes closed
the bombs, the blood,
the loss of meaning,
the hate, the deaths,
the grieving

don't blame the flowers
don't blame the girls
don't blame the colours
don't blame the universal soldiers
they marched away without goodbyes
don't blame them for your lies

don't blame the flowers
don't blame the girls
don't blame the colours
don't blame the universal soldiers
we marched away without goodbyes
don't blame us for your lies
don't blame us for your lies

not because the past was best
or that the grass was greener then
it's because what we really need
is something yet to be seen

without goodbyes

This is what spring feels like in my hometown Berlin - a touch of melancholy, a little hope, a tickle in the nose, a sprinkle of awakening and a dash of boldness! Hope you enjoy my new neoclassical composition!

Slow Rise Coming

Carol composed these short piano solos after fighting Hodgkins Lymphoma.
Everyone who knows Carol will know how she was fighting against the odds for many years, throughout countless failed treatments, transplants and experimental drugs, but continued to live her life as normally as she could.
Once Carol was through the cancer, she then faced mental health issues and a battle with depression. Surprisingly to her, she was far from alone in this, and found that many cancer survivors can also face these problems, post-treatments. Even so, the well-known 'survivors guilt' made her feel very alone and unable to open-up about how she felt.
These piano solos were written during those dark years in her journey back to health.
