Really great writing and singing makes this one tops.

Hey Phil man, this is a brilliant composition, brought to life by your multiple exquisite performances. Your singing is a real treat, though, and your melodies are sticky and memorable. Excellent work here, man!

Superb ! I love it! Got 70‘s vibes👍🏼

You are on top form Phil and co. A quality composition expertly played.

Very cool-full
Of flavour ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another innovative dynamo track. So much going on here, funky rocker with a slow hand and all sorts of tasty  motion.

Ticks all the boxes for me and then some.

CATCH THE SEEDS OF PRODIGAL UNDERSTANDING

Song about love as a shelter against inclemency of life (translated lyrics below).

By means of some weather sounds, I oppose precise dark parts to more colored ones, with serious work till 3:25 when I had fun jamming, so you can skip to 4:20 & enjoy great outro !!

Clarinet was borrowed from my sister for summer practice. Reed & keywork managing is difficult for a beginner, & home cohabitance was set on serious risk, but with painful effort I got something presentable, or so I hope, as not willing to repeat soon...

Trance feat. Ryder - Paploviante

"Starting Over" (demo v2)

Made and played by me on August 16 and September 12, 2024, using sounds e.g. from Yamaha Montage 8 (TX816 Electric Piano), Keyscape (Roland MKS-20 EP sound), Arturia Jup-8 V and UVI SonicPass (Emulator II, Marcato Strings sound).

Edited a little on September 12, 2024 (changed melody a bit & added and modified some chords, added some chorus etc.). Mastered with Ozone 11 on September 12, 2024.

I'm also working on an instrumentalized version. Also, this song could maybe use some lyrics, and it is still something I have to look into. All comments would be more than welcome, especially regarding the melody (it seems that good melodies are pretty challenging to develop).

As two sources of inspiration here I could name Luis Miguel's versions of the songs "Toda una vida" (by the great Osvaldo Farrés) and "Ese momento" (by the great Armando Manzanero).

Count The Steps

Put on your blue shoes honey
Cos only you and I
Count the steps you’ll take
Put on your blue shoes honey
Cos only you and I
Break the codes you’ll make

I don’t want to paint the moon
A hundred shades of blue
I just want to sing this song
Cos it reminds me of you
Put on your best face

I could swim across the bay
To the distant clouds
Count the steps you’ll take
But I just want to be by you
And hold your Beatle’s hand
Put on your best face

Put on your blue shoes honey
Cos only you and I
Rock the fakes you’ll bake

I can’t help but see you
The largest rock in the sea
Painted blue
I know when you’re coming
The whitest cloud in the sky

I could swim across the bay
To the distant clouds
Count the steps you’ll take
But I just want to be by you
And hold your Beatle’s hand
Put on your best face

I could swim across the bay
Cos only you and I
Count the steps you’ll take
I could swim across the bay
To the distant clouds
Cos only you and I
Break the codes you’ll make
I could swim across the bay
Put on your blues shoes honey
Cos only you and I
Rock the fakes you’ll bake

Prodigal Son

In the dark 
I stumbled blindly
Painful lessons
without you

Empty reasons, 
Endless deceptions
They all talked
as If they knew

What they lacked 
is now apparent
What they sold 
was not the Truth

I searched blindly
in despair,
Only to find you
waiting there

[chorus]
Jesus, 
You are the Bread of Life,
who believes in You has found the light
You are the Bread of Life,
that which endures to eternal life

I hungered and 
I was thirsty,
my soul was dim, 
my heart was weak

My sins were many,
I was fallen
It’s through grace
that I’m still here

I look back, 
my chains are broken
The pain has eased,
You erased my fear

Now it all fits 
so seamlessly
Those who believe
are forever free

Prodigal Son (Paploviante & Cosmic Keanu)

Lyrics (by Stonerjazz):

We all chose it, we arrived here at this self-same place
he liked to think that he had earned it
but that simply not the case.
He just dreamed it up one sunday afternoon
while drowsing and lounging in the Ether
where the US resides
while living on a Proton Banished
to the outskirts of a single Atom
In a single Universe-
It was a wicked Curse, specifically designed for him
A scorcerer, Albert Rufus Smith
Stole a Rocket ship and he took it to Uriah
He was a rascal and scoundrel and a liar and a thief
But he had a magic knife that he had won in a game of dice
on a stormy night in a corner of some ruins
in the desert in december by the fire light with some other witches from Oaxaca
where he'd Spied Roberta picking magic mushrooms naked in the moonlight
with her brothers and her sisters and some others from the Bus-
It seems that Albert Rufus Smith Was Smitten

The eternal now is Wow
When we wonder why we wander
where we will
while walking walking walking to fulfill
the contemplated vacancy
Beyond the vast Horizen

Alberts knife was sliver with a handle made of Amber
when he held it high above his head
it gave off a blinding light
and on that night on the planet of Uriah
when Gus and all his jolly happy hopeful holograms arrived
on that Beat-up Bus
That formulated plan in Alberts wicked head
appeared to be on Track
had he not been messmerized by Roberta's perfect presence and physic
he might have pulled it off, that dirty rotten little sneak--

Sid and Larry caught him and his Cronies
trying to steal the bus and Abduct
Sally and Roberta too, Who
were sleeping on the bus in the back together as they always do,
And Gus was not Amused-
Albert seemed to be confused until he held his Magic knife up high
and blinded ever bodies eye
and in a frantic flight he escaped into the distant night--

Albert Rufus Smith (Smoking Trout's HOLY DUMPLING #11)

This is my Norwegian version of my song "was It You"

Lyrics and vocal by me
Music made in Garageband

The lyrics is in English in the description on my song "Was It You"    🌸
Listen to Was It You? (Original ) by Janne Hennie on #SoundCloud
https://on.soundcloud.com/ZYsns

North Norwegian Lyrics:

Konturan av dæ svinne hen
Du som en gang skinte så sterkt
Alt det du har gjort
Har brent sæ fast i mæ
I alle minnan æ har lagd..

Va det du? Va det sant?

Eller skapte æ en illusjon
Av det æ ville ha?
Hodet mitt e fullt av forvirring
Over den æ trudde æ så..

Va det du? Va det sant?

Æ malte mæ sjøl et bilde
Med det æ ville se..
Trudde virkelig æ så dæ
Men det va ikke sant..

Æ så dæ..
Men det va ikke sant....

Va Det Du?    Original (Norwegian version of my song "Was It You")

Terre

To save the human race from all evils,
Gods said to Pandora: we give you this box to keep
and do not open this box, do not open this box! 
Pandora's curiosity opened the box
and all the evil in the world crawled out.
She quickly closed it, leaving only hope inside,
and the pessimism of "false expectation". 
The evil is out there, but still there
is hope for better.
Can we fix that?

!!!HOT NEWS!!! New Valuable Friends vinyl album and CD available! See link below. Pre-order now for release on 7th Aug!

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 Yamaha HS8 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.
