Great track - really good vocals!! You never know what’s in a guitar until you play it 😎

Hey ! I tried to repost this and it hasn't worked ! UNacceptable !

Still love this ... one of the songs on soundcloud that occasionally plays in my head of its own accord, without my permission, but I don't mind :-)

I am truly enjoying discovering your music!

A Tes Pieds

written by Netta&Mcgill.   Cheers for having a listen

when it’s one of those days and it’s raining hard
can’t do anything right
to late to get down on my knees and beg
ask for your forgiveness tonight

you said that your love was free
wouldn’t cost me a dime
but there was always gonna be a price to pay
and now i’m just doing time

so i get up in the morning
eyes down walking the line
one day i was free, free as a bird
the next, i’m doing time

when the sentence is harsh, the days are long
you get lost inside your own mind
like our love, it’s become my own prison cell
and now i’m just doing time

it so happens to be that you mean much to me
to say otherwise would be a plain lie
and through it all my dear it’s become crystal clear
and it feels like i been doing time

so i get up in the morning
eyes down walking the line
one day i was free, free as a bird
the next, i’m doing time
yesterday i was free, free as a bird
and today, i’m doing time

Doing Time

Sometimes I feel it all slipping away
My hopes and dreams for a better day
Then I flip on the TV and my mind grows dim
I sit on the couch with a silly grin

One of these days I’m goanna wake up 
And I’ll take a look a look around and say I’ve had enough
And I’ll take all the bad advice
That I’ve been hearing all of life
And I’ll decide to ignore all the pessimists around me

I tell myself that I still have time
To find a place in the world that I can call mine
Then I open the fridge and grab another beer
I tell myself those plans can wait till next year

One of these days I’m goanna wake up 
And I’ll take a look a look around and say I’ve had enough
And I’ll take all the bad advice
That I’ve been hearing all of life
And I’ll decide to ignore all the pessimists around me

You tell people that things need to change
And they look at you like you’re kind of strange
They say why can’t you accept things just the way they are
They say the world has always been this way
As if that makes it all okay
To sit around and do nothing while it all falls apart

Sometimes I walk off the beaten path
But my comfort zone keeps calling me back
Saying there’s too much competition
The odds are against you
Youre not goanna make it no matter what you do

One of these days I’m goanna wake up 
And I’ll take a look a look around and say I’ve had enough
And I’ll take all the bad advice
That I’ve been hearing all of life
And I’ll decide to ignore all the pessimists around me

Lunatics 183 / Basar / Ratzzz & joerxworx

As gentle as the rolling hills, the bramble and the deer, the night it holds hushed secrets meant only for your ears.  As fleeting as a Truffula tree on paper framed by silk embroidered oak and gold melting in the rain.

REBOUND

REBOUND ft. Rocksamay

"There is initiative required to pursue a relationship with a woman or a musical instrument; how often they are alike in their demands ... Ultimately, we are destined for forced labor where no thinking is required" (words of David Dunham, taken by his comment here below). Is artistic imagination destined to disappear, and will humanity indulge in total creative laziness (in music, art, literature), delegating to artificial intelligence the fulfilment of needs that have contributed to human progress? 

Lyrics: Mick Hansan
Music: AI

When I started going to school
I wondered why it was necessary to waste my time
days locked in a classroom listening to
of history mathematics physics, it was a crime

Then I finally got my high school diploma
I got the most with the least effort
I cheated the teachers with great serenity
luckily I wasn't forced to enrol at university

Of course, it was time to work
I didn't know how to do anything.
I worked at McDonald's, at Amazon, at Burger King
It takes a lot of talent to have no skill
It takes a lot of talent to have no skill
never having anything to will

I got married to a good woman
all house, church, shopping, baloney
Being from a good family
there was no shortage of money

We didn't have children, I didn't want them
It would have been too much work to bring them up
Besides, she chose in her spare time finally
working for free as a baby sitter in other families

I kept on doing my daily job
I didn't know how to do anything.
I worked at McDonald's, at Amazon, at Burger King
It takes a lot of talent to have no skill
It takes a lot of talent to have no skill
never having anything to will

One day my wife asked me for a divorce
I'm sure she didn't have another man
All she said to me was: ‘I'm not your watchman
and it's time to take an holiday from you.
A very long holiday: until I die, or you’

Deep down I didn't even mind
it was better to have an empty house
where I could safely indulge in idleness
without anyone pointing it out to me
renouncing any form of activeness

On the other hand I kept working
even though I didn't know how to do anything.
I worked at McDonald's, at Amazon, at Burger King
It takes a lot of talent to have no skill
It takes a lot of talent to have no skill
never having anything to will

One day I thought: why not learn to play the piano?
It takes time and effort, maybe is better the ping pong
The guitar? And to do what, 
sing a Frank Sinatra's old and awful song?

But a night while yawning I'm surfing the net
I read about these new programmes, I read about AI
they say that this is quite a little something
without be a hard set
what a beautiful perspective, so eye-catching!
you could write songs 
without even knowing how to do it
make everyone listen to all them 
while you sit in your armchair

That was it, now I ride the wave
I signed up on different platforms
I don't have to use my name
I'm me but I'm not me

I produce several songs a day
have thousands of followers 
they are the flies, 
and I am the spider

I can't play anything
I can't sing
I have not to write what I think
but I became a successful songwriter

they are the flies, and I am the spider
I can't play anything
I can't sing
I have not to write what I think
but I'm a successful songwriter
they are the flies, and I am the spider

And if my wife had not already 
asked for and obtained the divorce
I would have done it by now

A perfectly good guitar has no songs in it
unless you rub it with alcohol fire ‘gainst the edge of the night
Oh you'll get no sleep, you'll get no rest, once you've woken it up...
We'll hear you cry with pain
But once your hands are bloody and the thing is plugged into your heart
you'll never sleep again 
and the morning
and the morning brings no peace
You just have to play

Play on…

Well only love 
Slows down the song
It’s only love

Play on...

A perfectly good guitar has no songs in it and it's plugged into your heart... play on!

A Perfectly Good Guitar Has No Songs In It

A PERFECTLY GOOD GUITAR HAS NO SONGS IN IT

Composer/Guitarist/Producer

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...

Most of my tracks are available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play/YouTube, Amazon, etc, just search for Phil McWalter or follow the link below the track and stream or buy as you wish. 

Wow!!  417K plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends that provide lots of wonderfully helpful comments that fuel the next track! Really big thanks to the SC community for listening and providing such brilliant feedback and support. It means so much to myself and my collaborators - huge thanks.

I work in different styles, as the inspiration, dreams or bubonic plagiarism comes! I use Logic Pro X on Mac.
 
I write, produce and play all my own stuff (unless otherwise stated), 'sing' if unavoidable, play vintage Tokai Strats mainly, PRS Torero, Steinberger, Gretsch G2627T, Classical, Fender Dreadnought, Yamaha and Rickenbacker basses, keyboards and sax. I use Native Instrument's Komplete Ultimate 14, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples. I love Hollow Sun.

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open headphones) when not making a bigger noise through my Mackie studio monitors. I use Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ThunderBolt and Apogee audio interfaces, Neumann & iSK condenser & AKG dynamic mics. 

Hardware: Feb 1978 Marshall JMP 50W Combo, BOO & BOSS stomps

I love collaborating with other musicians and compose with, play guitar for, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please just ask!

P.S. I use SC Repost to publish my work to other stores & streaming services. I am a long standing member of the Performing Rights Society and PPL through my TV and theatre work as well as my record and publishing deals.
