Hey Phil man, I love this version, too. What a thrill to hear! Love it, my friend!

And here's another listen! Quite some effort put into this - shades of 70's prog rock with a massive sound!

Excellent work Phil and chums. I'm hearing Peter Gabriel in there too. Good skills get him along.

Superb opening ... this is really great, Phil. Brilliant work!

Really great work ... I'll be following your music

Amazing vocals, Phil!  Like the drum tease with pauses in order to build tension! Brilliant! This is like if you could put David Bowie with the group Yes....Awesome work!

Cosmic vibe, as yes you are... all burning brightly here. Such a cool song to listen to.

just messing around with some less common time signatures with this cool sounding VST jazz drum kit I like. This is a little ruff but a short and fun example.   :)

the body turning home
passions and the red, red dust
You and wonder roam

Far more grace than we can see
often so deceived
To give, to give to give away
And find where tender lays

RUNAWAY STARS - THE UNEXPURGATED CODE

We have a duty to be here
Without us
Who'd see the runaway stars
Who could walk along the beach
Look for seventh waves
And feel the wind up high
We sit and talk all
Through the night
Travel our world and share our castaway finds

We have a duty to be here
To hear the song
Feel the heart of forever
Burning holes within black holes

There is a reason
To turn the page
Quantum runes feed today’s exit phase
We burned new colours
On Launchpad Love
In earthquake sofas seeking twigs from the dove

We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars

Inside our bubble
We heard your tongue
Repeating echoes paraphrase the song

Break

We burnt new colours
On Launchpad Love
In earthquake sofas seeking twigs from the dove

And we have a duty to be here
Without us who would see the runaway stars

Solo

Without us who'd see the runaway stars

And we have a purpose
To exist to hear the song
Feel the heart of forever
Burning holes within black holes

Don’t lay down and rest now
Lift your head
The stars change colour as they drift past your bed
The Sun is expanding
Eternal night
May return to shield our escape flight

We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars
We are the runaway stars

And we have a duty to be here
Without us
Who would see the runaway stars
Who would see the runaway stars
Who would count the runaway stars

Runaway Stars - The Unexpurgated Code

🎼 DestKorn – Hope With You
🎹 This piece was composed and performed entirely by hand – no AI was used.
Every note you hear in “Hope With You” was created with emotion, not code.
I believe that music should remain human – honest, imperfect, and full of soul.
Watch the full creation process here:

#RealMusic #NoAI #HopeWithYou #DestKorn #FLStudio

🎹 Dieses Stück wurde komplett von Hand komponiert und eingespielt – 
ohne KI.
Jede Note in „Hope With You“ ist Ausdruck echter Emotion, nicht künstlicher Berechnung.
Ich glaube daran, dass Musik menschlich bleiben sollte – ehrlich, unperfekt und voller Seele.

🌊 Part of the album Tides of Melancholy
“Hope With You” is a deeply emotional piano composition born from silence.
It carries cinematic melancholy and delicate strength, telling the story of something that remains – hope.
Soft passages alternate with dramatic surges, as if each note echoes from within.
It’s music for late hours, memories, and the distant glow of something still possible.
This track is not just music – it’s a conversation without words.

Teil des Albums Tides of Melancholy

„Hope With You“ ist ein tief emotionales Klavierstück, das aus der Stille geboren wurde.
Mit melancholischer Tiefe und filmischer Weite erzählt dieser Track von einem Gefühl, das bleibt – Hoffnung.
Die Komposition wechselt zwischen zarten Passagen und dramatischem Ausdruck, als würde jede Note ein inneres Echo tragen.
Es ist Musik für einen einsamen Abend, für Gedanken an Vergangenes, für das Licht am Horizont.
Wer zuhört, wird nicht nur Musik hören – sondern ein Gespräch ohne Worte.

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.
