has a vibe of godley and creme , very interesting form and structure, enjoyable and fresh

Very interesting music and loved it thank you

As usual, I happily listen intently, not realizing my jaw has been awkwardly dropping throughout the whole  song. Your production is incredible! I really hope she got the message!

Incredible work, Phil. I should think it took up an enormous slice of musical-neuron pie! Full of complex twists and turns, but above all it just sounds fantastic from beginning to end.

very nice track with a wonderful fusion of styles......love the true to life lyrics and smooth vocal

I can see the blue sea

I ride my bike through the sunny air
the wind blows through my hair
the city fades becomes a shade
time to get away on this day
I feel the sea made for me
yes, the sea made for me

I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?

The ocean shines so blue
a place for me to renew
I watch the tide, rays of sunlight
with the sea so near, free of fear
my thoughts drift away, 
more than words can say
a wonderful day

I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?

I ride back home through the fresh air
still smell the sea everywhere
then the city comes in sight
I will be home before night
still think the sea made for me
yes, the sea made for me

I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
I can see the blue sea
where I wanna be
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?
why don't you come with me?

I can the the blue sea

“Dessau Dreaming “ by Luke  (in memory of my brother) 

Long time ago during the Cold War in a small apartment in Dessau 🇩🇪
a 2 year old brother was introduced to his new baby brother, both boys were adorable with blonde hair & blue eyes.. 
one year later the older brother went by train to visit his Oma in Berlin.. 
that was the last time the brothers ever saw each other again..
the barbwire went up & the wall was enforced, forcing the 3year old brother to stay in the East while his younger brother (and Mother) made it to Aachen to live with the other Oma.. 
20years later the wall came down only boy left was the younger brother who grew up with the PolarBears in🇨🇦Canada..
he was a Diesel mechanic by trade
but he’s been writing & creating music since he was 6 years old..
I Created this song In memory of my older brother..

“Dessau Dreaming” by Luke

There are people who change their mood a lot of times in the course of a day. I know several of them (and I'm not talking about me!) ...  

I could have arranged the parts better and tried different solutions, but I am beginning to feel a certain musical tiredness. So I leave the track as it is, maybe in a few years I will try again.

Kiss Me

Send me a message please
My dog has caught a chill
We’ve got all the windows shut
But I’ve got to know…
If you’ll answer before
T ‘ticking time has t’ticked away
The car’s run out of fuel
I don’t know what to do…

And I don’t want to stand and drink with your father
I don’t want to ballroom dance with your mother

Do I have to come?
I’ve got nothing (clean) to put on
And I can’t find my spray
I feel really bad…

Take my hand and walk me through it
I never knew
Compassion without flaw
I’ve thought about you every day…
And I’m not sure
What I’m supposed to say
But I’ve dreamt of us
Under the starry sky

And I don’t want to talk about rugby with your brother
Eat vol-au-vents that your little sister made

So call me right away
Or I might just run away
The dog looks better now
But we still need to talk…
Check your missed calls please
Before you go downstairs
I’ve left my coat somewhere
But I don’t want
To let you down…

Cast your spell and help me through this
I didn’t know
There was an angel in my town
I know we’ve talked next steps
But you can’t make a hero
Out of me and just the moonlight…

So can you come over here
And just kiss me…

So call me right away
So call me right away
So call me right away
So call me right away

Rough and ready lo-fi troubadour blues. More off-key and forlorn than usual.

Lyrics:
Oh, that bartender
He moved to his own
Sweet slow ass time
In getting back those drinks 
To feed my mainline
You asked me about my guitar
I've been far
But tonight
I am playing this bar

I could be gone soon
Maybe I could explain it to you
a little later
In my motel room?
There's a Gideon Bible
Right there in the drawer 
It's revelation about our sin
They're always gonna try to change ya
I think you're forgiven
You're  just
Welcoming a stranger

I've been far
But tonight, I am
I am playing this bar

All this joyful noise
I sing it for you
All the loneliness
And the  cacophony, too
It's my troubadour blues

My melancholy
The useless beauty
I feel like I'm  living life in another man's shoes
You asked me about my guitar
I've been far
But tonight, I am
I am playing this bar...

All This Useless Beauty (Troubadour Blues)

Small Talk (Instrumental)

A sort of elegy. Reloaded from a few weeks ago after a remix and clean up.

Tattered Flag

at the disco
goin’ all the way
with a speedball
on an empty day

i wonder if i stopped my cryin’
i wonder if i stopped now

crooked halo
all you’ve got today
your dependents
better back away

i wonder if i stopped my cryin’
i wonder who i’d be now

in the moonlight
goin’ all the way
to the river
gonna watch for day

i wonder if i stop my crying’
i wonder what i’d see now

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.

Kiss Me
