nice song with many things that i like in your realisation.

Such deep production beauty in this creative pop rocker, wonderful harmonies and just a wonderful blend of textures and feel. Well done Phil! Durge

Fab sound on this great song, Phil! Love that bank of horns and with those obscure yet suggestive lyrics and the enthusiastically swinging harmonies, is giving me that Steely Dan vibe : )

Very nicely captured mood! Good horns and polyphonic vocals!

that brass section sounds amazing and gives the track so much fun and power.

I very much enjoyed all the brass arrangements from you, your excellent guitar chops and all the other details, which make this song so beautiful. And yes, you envy me with your yacht … 😀🎸🔥❤️

Laughing.... complex lyrics and complicated imagery... the sublime with the straightforward.... and some just for the sounds. Your work is ALWAYS interesting, Phil.

Are you ready?

One World Town (Brian Peters)

Let there be darkness
And let there be light
Let the sun and the moon
Keep the day and the night
Let there be evil
And let there be good
Another War of the Worlds
Where the Tree of Knowledge stood

Let there be pleasure
And let there be pain
Let the living mourn the dead
And let the dead rise again
Let there be trouble
Between the old and the young
Another Tower of Babel
A confusion of tongues
-
Don't wanna live in a one world town
Where nobody knows what is real
Where there is no up and there is no down
Cause you were made with magic
On the Potter's wheel
-
Let there be heaven
Let there be hell
From the Book of Revelations
To the worlds of HG Wells
Let there be loving
And let there be hating
Let a man know within himself
Of the road he is taking

Let there be heroes
Let there be gods
Let there be rebels
Who live under the sword
Let there be greatness
Outcasts and giants
Let the martyrs carve the roadways
With the prophets and the saints
-
Don't wanna live in a one world town
Where nobody knows how to feel
Where there is no up and there is no down
Cause you were made with magic
On the Potter's wheel

One World Town (w Jason Akita)

I am delighted to have a opportunity to Collaborate with Liam from Default Sensor and Finn Eces on this track. Liam as well as playing bass on the track has been a constant source of Inspiration and Friendship since last March when we all got Lockdown and began finding other ways of communicating with each other. Liam is an amazing songwriter and musician please you can listen to more of his music @Default_Sensor and Finn as well as having an great voice is also a great songwriter and musician hear more of his music @Finn_Eces i want to thank both Liam and Finn for their huge contribution to The Evolution of Men. Finn Sang all backing vocals on the song and gave great advice on Mixing. Many thanks Guys.

the song itself is about Our Evolution as Mankind we are evolving in one way but are we being blind by Financial considerations, are we forgetting about the Planet that we are borrowing from our children and future generations Evolution should be the solution to our continuing Pollution but can we see this....Hope you enjoy the song anyway ..

LYRICS:

I believe something a little crazy, a little out there
Inconceivable, inconceivable
I believe something, now hear me out man
I have seen saucers flying in the sky, flying in the sky
Cruising at warp speed, changing direction, then disappearing
Can't change my mind
I want to believe
I want to believe
I want to believe

The truth is out there for those who seek it
I know they're out there, seen 'em with my own eyes
The truth is out there, I want to find it
I know they're out there watching from the skies

I believe something a little spooky, a little kooky
Implausible, but not impossible
I believe something, open your mind man, truth is worth finding
If you've got the nerve, if you've got the nerve
We will go down the rabbit hole and discover worlds
Beyond your wildest dreams
Do you believe?
Do you believe?
Do you believe?

The truth is out there for those who seek it
I know they're out there, seen 'em with my own eyes
The truth is out there, I want to find it
I know they're out there watching from the skies

Don't call me crazy, you're the one that's crazy
You could never believe the things that I've seen
A stable form of element 115
Intelligence far greater than our own
They come and beam you up from your home
One way or another I've got to know
Even at the expense of getting probed
I want to look them right in the eye
I want an encounter before I die

AMBROSIA COAST

Driving down the coast road
Looking for Ingrid’s hat
It doesn’t matter if we find the beach or not 
With it raining like that

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like that

Oh can we do it?
Oh can we do it tonight?
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?

They came in in inflatables
But they weren’t looking for Ingrid’s hat
We spent some money dressing up the corpse
No-one had learned a move like that

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like that

Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?

But we don’t wanna see where the birdie goes

Give me emotion (bow-wow-wow)
Lend me the potion (bow-wow-wow)
Rub me in lotion (bow-wow-wow)
Give me the motion (bow-wow-wow)
We need ambrosia
Because it’s cosier
Feed the gods with that bowl 
Feed the gods with that bowl, there...

Driving down the coast road 
Looking for Ingrid’s hat
It doesn’t matter if we find the beach or not 
With it raining like that

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like that

Oh can we do it?
But can we do it tonight? (bow-wow-wow)
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight? 
Bow-wow-wow

BLOWING THE CLOUDS AWAY (May/June 2021)

LYRICS

"Time is not for any of us
We make it up to know that we exist
Because time is not for anyone
It's just an illusion of your mind"

As i look up today and
See the sky
And i am
Mentally trying
To Blow the clouds away
Feel the sun on my skin
Feel the earth beneath my feet
Feel the heat
Just blowing the clouds away

When the rain it comes
It washes clean
It feeds the ground
Trees and plants and flowers
Are the blessings for us now

Healing Sun
Make us as one

Let Her Go

Well I was sitting in the lobby of the Commodore hotel 
When in walked a woman I used to know so well 
She was, looking like a million after all these years

As she walked across the room, to the reception desk 
A strange kind of feeling came into my chest 
And all them old memories came rushing in

The times we spent together 
The day that we met 
First time I held her hand I never will forget 
The way she smiled at me for no reason at all 
Still got some old photographs from the time she used to call

Well, last time I saw her she was waving goodbye 
Walking down the road with teardrops in her eyes
All I could do was watch and let her go 
I just let her go

Sometimes I wonder, what it might have been like 
If things had worked out a little differently 
Could we ever’ve  shared this life

Through the years I must admit 
I think about her now and then a little bit
And all them old memories come rushing in

The times we spent together 
The day that we met 
First time I held her hand I never will forget 
The way she smiled at me for no reason at all 
Still got some old photographs from the time she used to call

I was sitting in the lobby of the Commodore hotel 
She turned to leave and you know I, I wished her well 
But all I could do was watch and let her go 
I just let her go 
I just let her go

LetHerGo

Hoochie coochie man — Feat.Gernot Baur

I have no idea what this is about...

Lyrics:
You want it, you need it
Adrenaline shot to the heart
We're ordering thrills ala carte
I love when the woman
She crinkles the cellophane parts
I've been hibernating like a bear
From my problems 
But now I'm back
I've been hibernating like a big old bear
The Preacher man says:
You've been breathing 
God's free air

I get myself together, I head out
I go and talk to Mark
He's a Mini-Market philosopher
He knows the secrets of the ancients
And he's up on the latest conspiracy theories
Down pat
But when he turns his back
They steal the Potato Chips off the rack
How can I take philosophical advice from a guy like that?
They say: You just breath in
God's free air

Looking good in that seersucker suit
He lives in a Penthouse
On Midnight Row
Or
Sleeping in his Corolla
in a Casino Parking Lot
You're breathing
God's free air

God's Free Air

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...

My music is on most platforms for your ease.

Wow!!  417K plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends on SC alone, 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), 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, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples.

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

P.S. I am a long standing member of the Performing Rights Society and PPL through my old TV and theatre work as well as my record and publishing deals.
