Revisiting this fantastic track. It's in my Favourites plylist which is great to dip into now and again. You should check it put uerselk.

kinda like Pink Floyd without all the twee (lol);  this is very cool and doom laden;  the narrative acting is excellent!!!

@user-138663860: Hi Sandy, thanks for listening to this 9yr old one! Glad you found it so! Thanks so much Sandy x

Epic Rock indeed, this will feel current for many more years to come Phil. Great work my friend, Cheers!

A first for me, Phil.  Never before experienced the sense of having the words "there's a better way to get the message across" stencilled carefully onto a six inch nail that is then massaged softly deep into the top of my cranium.  Epic high art.  Utterly brilliant.

BACK for MORE. 7 years. NEVER FORGOTTEN. masterpiece.

Spellbound

I can see all of you
Inside my head
The ones that look shiny
The ones still in bed
You shout at your cell phones 
Talk in your sleep
You sit in the cafés
Wait in the street
Let us walk quickly now
Come on, let us run
Get caught in a shower
Stretch out in the sun

I was spellbound
I was amazed
Simply spellbound, spellbound
I can see all of you
The ones that look shiny
The ones that look dead

Fish for the big one 
Dream of a win
Look for the answers
Eat out of  a bin

I was spellbound
I was amazed
Simply spellbound, spellbound 
I can see all of you

Take a hike through the mountains
See your baby born
Play your music too loud
Hide in the corn
Is it a small loan
Or is it too much to lend?
You all know for certain
How it will end
So stack up the building blocks
And start a fire with sticks
We all like some magic
But do you see all the tricks?
I can see all of you 
Inside my head
The ones that look shiny
The ones that look back 

I can see all of you
Simply spellbound

Mains Hum

Spellbound

Latd

W-Groovin' in Spring

Just a simple song for the lonely. Old fashioned human music for this modern age.

Lyrics:
I'm bringing you my honest confessional
I'm dying out here, don't you know?
I've been walking the internet at night
I don't know why I always fall for the tawdry
I always fall for the pills
I fall for your sweetest thrills
I'm dribbling down here at the end of the bar
Falling in
(falling in and out)
Falling in and out of love
I'm in the valley of the lonely
Don't look into the corona eye
You know that I always lie

I could be anything you need
I could be that book that you've been working on...
A paperback. Dog eared and worn...
A book you put up on the shelf...
A book you read that changes your sense of self...
I'm in the valley of the lonely
Don't look into the coronas' eye
The valley of the lonely...

The Valley Of The Lonely

Lyrics (Words written listening to Gustav Mahler #5 in C#m)

Gaze now pawn upon Fibonacci
Golden proportion of divinity
You're free to seek a center, line!
You can try but you'll fail even with forever time
You're greatness is painted with Galaxies
With leaves and shells and human bodies

So what's this black hole of a formula?
Does intention make it the oracle?
One. Six One Eight
Greek Phi for Maths eye
Two amounts, their ratio equal
To the sum of each all
That equals a sequel

A plus B over A = A over B = Phi we see
Post quadratic two solutions occuring
1.618033 recurring
The positive fine where we parrot science knowing
0.618033 and write 3's forever

Showing one path to a center
The center can't hide
Balanced we ' coming
Closer to less time
Singularities sit spiralled real Di Vinci
Could our big bang be Golden like You & me

Golden ratio orate Nagual

Golden Ratio free


I strongly believe our intention is tied in some way to the golden ratio which is unexplained yet or maybe can't be physically reasoned because it exists at the same level of consciousness that the spirit does. It may even be the key to controlling our spiritual and in turn physical fate. It may also be just me empowering something I believe works as a tool for this tools toolbox (placebo). Whether it is or whether it will be a tool for channeling intent more clearly (GR) I don't know but for me it's at least a focus to try and achieve that in my art and life. Untimately that focus brings a bit more peace of mind for me so whether it's real or not doesn't really matter. Still plenty to learn about matter. Bigger picture .. Connecting a ratio that governs much of the natural Symmetry of the universe with shamanistic beliefs that with spirit and consciousness everything is connected energetically. Sounds like we just need practice to me. The Golden Ratio could be the beacon, the grain of the universe. It's annual tree lines 


File Updated: 12/04.25 @ 00:26 GMT ~ Added Fibbonacci sequence beat. Chinese bonjos change each bar from 0, 1, 1 , 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 21, 13, 8, 5, 3, 1, 1, 0 beats per bar. Also extended the end to imagine batter ways there. I made the duration 4:440444 seconds so we get a numerical palindrome there


File Updated: 11/04/25 @ 21:21 GMT ~ "Golden Ratio orate Nagual" built into the end including a reverse effected verison of the line. Phonetically it was the closest I could get to a meaningful palindrome of sorts (it's obviously not one) but sounds close to the forwards version, is 4 parts so nicely the syllables work well together both ways... A phonetical palindrome... whats that called haha... this is to appreciate the positive and inverse dimensions of the ratio and have a nugget for it musically.


Nagual
Nagualism involves the belief that each person possesses a dual aspect: the tonal, representing their everyday awareness and ego, and the nagual, representing their deeper, limitless self.[3]

The Nagual serves as a guide, helping individuals access hidden potential and spiritual insight by harmonizing these two aspects
Ref: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagual

I don't for a second pertain to be able to explain properly this realm of discovery nor do I believe I'm more or less connected to these ideas then anyone else... But I've considered them as a possibility for our beings for a long time now... This is where my fixation on intention comes from and given we see and experience the Golden Ratio in such natural beauty and Symmetry... It's like a shrug from nature... here ya go lads... Your answer straight from the universe itself  ..  I like connecting them for myself anyways even if I don't understand it. In fact I make a point of disconnecting myself from an intended intention. I think switching off the reasonable mind to this may bring us closer to understanding it better in our whole beings. Spirit too.. and maybe the act of disconnecting the controlled / learned thought is what makes the flow all work... 🤷🏽‍♂️🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂

The Golden Ratio

Closer now

Daylight

There is only one path to the top of the mountain. You just follow the path walked by an artist you admire and climb up.
This song was inspired by "New SEEDS" released by Boards of Canada. To me, "New SEEDS" is halfway up the mountain, and I have always thought that it would be wrong to avoid this song when trying to reach the summit.
You can't fly towards the top of the mountain! It's music only when you climb.
It's not similar, so if you search for "New SEEDS" you will find some really wild techno music.

ANARS ! Pouvons nous trouver une raison ?

I have always loved this song. Hendrix was such an incredibly intuitive and inventive guitar player and great songwriter; he didn't hold a strat, it grew out of his soul. This is a sketch of one of his beautiful thoughts. It's not meant to be a facsimile, it's just meant to refresh a memory, a little tiny bit of the wonder of the prophetic and charming voodoo chile. Fly on Jimi, fly on...

BUTTER KNIFE HEAVEN (BOP BOP)

@Rick-4-1: Well, he played drums on this, if you can call it just that. It's something much bigger really, it's like the hairs on the back of your neck on new batteries for the first time in your life.
@phil-mcwalter: Well, just the other stuff.

Enjoy heaven.

PLAY IT LOUDER

Heaven

I think I had forgotten 
How to fall in love
I got it right first time 
When I was young and pure like heaven
But it’s never been as good
In fact it’s been as rough as wood
And it’s splintered me

I sort of forgot
How it's supposed to be hot
And when it had gone cold
And I looked at what I'd got
It was not a lot

I’ve wasted some time 
Heaven
Well most of our lives 
Heaven
It feels like a crime
Sharp as a butter knife
I’ve been spread too thin
By kith and kin

Original sin
But not so original
I should have told the Pope
That there was no hope
And what would you know 
He’d agreed with me
It’s not a great story
Not bloody or gory
You just get one shot
And I must have given mine to someone else
It should have ended my game
But I’ve passed it on
It’s a little bit lame 
Just the same
Like everything else 
Bop Bop
I’m now at a full stop
Bop Bop
It’s just a pensioner’s bus-hop away 
(Anyway)

I think I had forgotten 
How to fall in love
I think I have forgotten (How to say goodbye)
How to end it all

It’s just been a waste
Heaven
A copy and paste 
Heaven 
I haven’t been traced
Lost or misplaced
I feel debased 
And disgraced
It leaves a bitter 
Aftertaste
But I aint crying
I’ve just been sprayed with Mace…

Bop Bop

Heaven…

Butter Knife Heaven

Butter Knife Heaven (Bop Bop)

(Unless we stop destroying our home we'll be the life on Mars, throwing a handful of earth onto Earth as we take off... ashes to ashes, stardust to stardust)
One recorded all on my own...

I THOUGHT WE MIGHT HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING

We’re looking out for the future
We’re standing on the past
I thought we might have learned something from
The burning bridges that we’ve passed
But time is just relentless
He’s pulling at your hand
And you’re looking into your grave
Not feeling very brave
Lying in the gutter
Not staring at the stars
You’re not seeing life on Mars

We’re looking out for the future
And we’re standing on the past
I thought we might have learned something from
The burning bridges that we’ve passed
And time is just relentless
Keep’s pulling at your hand and
You’re looking into your grave
Not feeling very brave
You're not lying in the gutter
Not staring at the stars
Not seeing life on Mars

The New National Anthem (Henry IV The Real Parts I & II) 

YouTube: http://youtu.be/MvICQjYKRfA

Part I

OK man, you hear me, yeh?  
Don't let 'em tell you anything man 
 Anything! 
 All you've gotta do is look for Christ's sake 
 It's madness  
Don't believe a word 
 I'm not paranoid man!
Stick with me!  
Yeah…  Yeah, I'll get you out of this
Do you wanna know what really happened? 
 You know at first you don't notice…  
But it affected everybody
Hey that's mine! Put it back!  
If you want something, ask. 
 That's how this started…

(New National Anthem)

I'm f*cking lost...
All you've gotta do is look for Christ's sake 
 It's madness  
Don't believe a word 
 I'm not paranoid man!

(New National Anthem)

You know at first you don't notice…  
But it affected everybody
If you want something, ask.  
That's how this started…

Part II

You gotta forget all that
All that’s gone man

Floating
High above the cities
Shines a lonely ray of truth

And screaming
High above the cities
Sings a lonely photobooth 
(Gone in a flash)

Face up
It's only you that matters
Or have you lost that with your youth?

(Solo, New National Anthem)

You gotta forget all that
All that’s gone man
I’m f*cking lost!
  It's only you that matters
  That’s how this started
You gotta forget all that
All that’s gone man…

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...

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!
