very good Phil, I just love your lyrics. Keep'em coming

Superb lyrical and musical offering Phil!

Wonderful Phil...Such a great sounding melody...Really ejoyed this one 💟🎼💕🙌💕🎼💟

Wonderful Bowie-influenced (?) vocal on this one. Very tasteful use of various reverbs and delays on the vocal, by the way.

Wow! Such an innovative composition with impassioned lyrics and striking vocals over such a production of emotions. Bravo Phil! Durge

This sounds great, deffo radio ready and should be played if the stations have any sense. But, Sorry Phil, I do prefer the original. Sounds warmer and at my age, I need all the heat I can get! Such a great track.

Big sound on the mix... fab guitars and composition as ever x x

Just Living the Dream.
We are all just living the dream, some of us more so than other but, we all like to Party so lets Party....

MAKE IT MEAN

And the bricks are all wet
The sand is damp and 
We smell of work
Our dirty hands 
Have built a castle
Hid our dream 
But they hang on every word
Yet we are no-one

The sky is full of clouds
The wind is radio hot and
You and I can run
To the river
Your skin is fingerprint free
Dreams are momentary
They will see us walk 
Past the tower

She always thought she’d break
She always said she’d shake
The walls on the outside 
The bars on the inside
She always thought she’d break

And we don’t count
But we are counted
Our steps are followed
Our hearts recorded
We’ll shine on the inside
Look dull in the eye
Slow on the stare
Quick on the glance

Their fingers stroke devices
Reality’s in crisis
They will see us talk
In the shadows

She always thought she’d break
She always said she’d shake
The walls on the outside 
The bars on the inside
She always thought she’d break

The sky is full of clouds
The wind is radio hot and
You and I can run
To the river
But you could make it mean
More than a movie scene
They will see us look
Right through them 
And we can make it seem
More than a dying scream
They will see us kiss
Forever

Make It Mean (The Wind Is Radio Hot Mix)

Written by DD Danahy (see below for credits) 
Reptilian aliens from Planet Z
Controlling our minds with phones and T.V.
They don’t really care about what we believe 
Gonna mess up the earth, and then just leave

I don’t like brag about the things that I see
No one ever takes me very seriously
But I’ve been watching and I know what’s up
I got a line on this conspiracy stuff

Everybody laughs at my tin foil hat
But I don’t any part of that
It isn’t funny and it’s not a joke
They always seem to think we had too much to smoke

Reptilian aliens from Planet Z
Controlling our minds with phones and T.V.
They don’t really care about what we believe 
Gonna mess up the earth, and then just leave

Transistor radio tuned to Art Bell
Confirming all the theories I know so well
He has a lot of info and knows the deal
With the geometric shapes in my cornfield 

I heard they were conspiring with the “reds”
Pretty soon we’re all gonna be dead
gonna violate us with an anal probe
We’re already hooked up to the electrodes

Reptilian aliens from Planet Z
Controlling our minds with phones and T.V.
They don’t really care about what we believe 
Gonna mess up the earth, and then just leave

Darren Douglas Danahy wrote a complete demo version of this song in Ableton Live and as is our usual workflow he sent me the whole project and we went from there.

Drums from Stoney were added to replace most of the Digitakt ones, new bass was added by me and another lot of Bass 6 by 3D as well as vocals from Kathy Freeman and Stone.

All in all a fun project and a great track to launch the new BC page, thank you 3D for graciously letting me have your hard earned creativity adorn this and for Kathy and Stone joining in the fun.

Isn't it a good idea to dance together in a video-meeting in these special times? This makes more fun than just speaking together. 

I wish you a lot of fun in virtual dancing. You may send me a film of it.

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...

Real music. Really played, really sung, really written by really musicians. No loops, collages of samples, any sampled sounds played by hand, no drum machines, well sometimes if needs must... (aint no rules after all!).

Some of my tracks are also available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play/YouTube, Amazon, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, ClaroMusica, Saavn, MediaNet, Shazam, just search for Phil McWalter and stream or even buy. I need some income to get by and update my kit, but all the tracks are here to stream for free.

Wow!!  286K plays and over 3.8K valued followers and friends 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 a 27" iMac.
 
I write, produce and play all my own stuff (unless otherwise stated), 'sing' if unavoidable, play vintage Tokai strats mainly, classical guitar, keyboards and sax. I use an iPad to control Logic Pro X and Omnisphere 2. I use Native Instrument's Komplete Ultimate 13 and also produce my own organic samples. I love Hollow Sun's unique synths and samples too - The late Steve Howell's www.hollowsun.com 

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open) when not making a bigger noise through Mackie studio monitors. I use Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ThunderBolt and Apogee audio interfaces, iSK condenser AKG dynamic mics. 

Hardware: Feb 1978 Marshall JMP 50W Combo, BOO (http://www.booinstruments.com) & BOSS stomps. Rack: Lexicon, Pod XT Pro, E-MU, Alesis, BBE.

I really enjoy collaborating with other musicians and love to write for, compose with, play guitar, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please just ask!

P.S. I use www.Distrokid.com and SC Repost to publish my work to Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Amazon, Google Play, Tidal, iHeartRadio, YouTube, Deezer and 150+ other stores & streaming services.
