@user-138663860: Because we're made of the same stuff Sandy, we mean what we say, that's what I hear in your singing.

@user-138663860: That's so nice Sandy, many, many thanks for playing my music. Bowled over!

Beautiful song 😍 💐 🙏 🍀 🎶 🎧 

@user-138663860: Thanks so much Sandy, your responses paint a wonderful picture of your caring, sensitive self. We are indebted to you for your support which spurs us on!

Great vocals Phil and those backing harmony vocals are huge love it!

This is some serious space opera stuff here Phil! Those guitars coming in, you create such a grandiose moment! The bends, the embellishments, the movement, all are terrific!

I especially love this movement here, darkness to light! Awesome stuff Phil!

Such beautiful pianos too Phil, such a delicate finish to renter the vocal arrangement!

@user-138663860: Thanks so much Sandy! You had a listen 8 months ago, so thank you so much for revisiting this one. Smiling back as always!

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

I Thought We Might Have Learned Something

Apple Music

!!!HOT NEWS!!! New Valuable Friends vinyl album and CD available! ALSO 2nd Deluxe CD+Booklet "Songs That Mean Something" See links below. 

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.
