Your lead voice sounds so good here. Nicely chesty in a way I both admire and envy.

My declining memory is such that I cannot compare this mix with the original, but this mix sure sounds good! A fully realized recording, radio ready.

beautiful ballad, Rick performs some real tasteful drums and your arrangement is sophisticated and dreamily lilting, loving your fantasizing vocals, always excellent!

Such a unique melody, love that lift at .37, great spacious mix and robust vocal to boot!

such a beautiful song and lyrics, congrats!

Original by Tom Petty And The Heartbreaker year 1989

Runnin' down a dream

Lyrics:

In a smoke filled room
Powder burns on your face
Tear drops wash away
All the pain of yesterday
Got to be a better way
To make it through today

Run, run , away

Recorded using Logic Pro..slate mic..Gibson Les Paul gold top…Warwick fretless bass..

I've always believed that this song would sound much better if it was sang as a male/female duet.

I asked Debbie if she would like to join me on the song and I was very happy when she said yes.

She did a marvellous job and added that extra dimension to the song that I always thought was missing.

Hope you like it.

There’s a girl sits all alone
In her world she calls her own
She cries at night cos he has gone

There’s a boy sitting in his car
Sad brown eyes staring out afar
The jukebox plays their favourite song

Chorus

They should be together
Instead of apart
They are one body
They share one heart
It seems so senseless
It went too far
She was his woman
He was her man

Solo

What’s the story, why is it so
Why it happened no one knows 
Don’t be foolish,  give her a call

Chorus x 2 

She was his woman – He was her man

They should be together(Cooper/DLynn Collaboration)

It's not often that an entire nation suddenly has its hands unshackled, its mouth ungagged and its cell door left ajar with an open invitation to leave the darkness and step into the light.

So, Syria, what's it to be?

Hmmm...?

Mother Syria

Hold my hand up to the sun to reach this smouldered rubble
Lift my eyes again with little patience left in trust
Assad years, father and son, each the devil’s double
Gassed and burned my cradle nation to blood-soaked mental dust

With his face alight the new guy’s mission, pure, sent from heaven
Promises truth, gold, light and god in his virgin presidential pledge
In the dead of night autocracy voted AK47
New boots crush freedom’s fingertips, as they’re clinging to the ledge

Mother Syria at the crossroads, will your ancient beauty shine,
That cradled understanding of things earthly and divine?

Mother Syria at the crossroads, will your ancient beauty shine,
Or should we prepare the palliatives for your sectarian decline?

Mother Syria at the crossroads, will your ancient beauty shine,
On the path of sane humanity or on diabolos’ design?

Mother Syria will you renounce the suicide bomber’s blast?
Maybe seek out peace at last?

Mother Syria   ...   with Seagull and David Dunham

The voices in my brain are talking to me and I guess it must be the devil! or some cursed beings that want to drive me crazy every day!

Take Away The Rain-- To Something New

lyrics

Rock the world and see it's colors
Everything's about blow up
If you close your eyes enough
The pain will go away

I'm spoiled I'm rotten
I'm so spoiled and I'm rotten
So spoiled I'm rotten

Rock the world and see it's colors
Everything's about to blow up
If you close your eyes enough 
The pain will go away

I am spoiled I am rotten
I'm so spoiled and I am rotten
I'm so rotten

Rock the world and see it's colors
Everything's about to blow up
The pain will go away
I'm so spoiled 

Rock the world and see it's colors
Everything's about blow up
If you close your eyes enough
The pain will go away

I'm spoiled I'm rotten
I'm so spoiled and I'm rotten
So spoiled I'm rotten

Rock the world and see it's colors
Everything's about to blow up
If you close your eyes enough 
The pain will go away

I am spoiled I am rotten
I'm so spoiled and I am rotten
I'm so rotten

Rock the world and see it's colors
Everything's about to blow up
The pain will go away
I'm so spoiled

       This song is my cover of a song that was performed by The Monkees and written by Andy Partridge for them several years ago in 2016! It's a great song to put in the middle of winter, when it's freezing cold outside! It get's everybody ready for the fun and sun of summertime! I played all the instruments and sang all the vocals on this one! I had a great time recording it, I even added a little Rock & Roll intro and extended the outro to get a psychedelic feel to it with sitars, incense, and some good vibes! It's a sing-a-long fluffy number with a very retro 1960's feel to it! I loved putting the video together, it was so much fun!  Check it out on YouTube, it will warm you up!

At least we can imagine it being nice and warm outside, roasting hot dogs, hand clapping , dancing, and playing volley ball on the beach! Wait until it gets a bit warmer though!😂 I hope everyone enjoys this little bit of early fun in the sun! Take care!

“YOU BRING THE SUMMER”

I’LL BRING THE CHIPS AND THE DIPS AND ROOT BEER,    
EVEN THOUGH DARK PURPLE RAIN CLOUDS ARE NEAR,   
WHEN YOU COME AROUND,     
YOU BRING THE SUMMER,              
         
I’LL LAY THE BASKET AND BLANKET OUT NEAT,   
EVEN THOUGH WEATHERMEN SAY THERE’LL BE SLEET,     
WHEN YOU COME AROUND,     
YOU BRING THE SUMMER,     
          
SUMMER FOR A SAD OLD SNOWMAN,        
FREEZING IN HIS ROOM,      
SUMMER FROM YOUR CLEAR BLUE SKIES,          
WILL MELT AWAY THE WINTER’S GLOOM,
          
I’LL BRING THE SUN CREAM AND BEACH VOLLEYBALL,     
EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO SAND HERE AT ALL,     
WHEN YOU COME AROUND,    
YOU BRING THE SUMMER,
WHEN YOU COME AROUND,   
YOU BRING THE SUMMER,
         
SUMMER FOR A SAD OLD JACK FROST,       
TRYING TO WARM HIS TOES,        
SUMMER FROM YOUR GOLDEN SMILE,         
WILL PAINT THE SNOW DROPS PINKY ROSE,

THE BIRDS AND THE BEES WILL FLY AROUND ME,  
EVEN THOUGH WE’RE DEEP IN JANUARY,        
WHEN YOU COME AROUND,    
YOU BRING THE SUMMER,    
I KNOW WITH ONE BOUND,      
YOU BRING THE SUMMER,  
WHEN YOU COME AROUND…         
SUMMER BABY, YOU BRING THE SUMMER,          
YOU BRING THE SUMMER AROUND.

"YOU BRING THE SUMMER" (Cover) [Video - https://youtu.be/WwRyzoVqsKk]

New song written and performed by David Cooper and Glen Granthem.

David Cooper - Lyrics and all vocals

Glen Granthem - Music - All instruments

The Battle of Culloden was a battle fought on April 16, 1746, near Inverness, Scotland. It was the final battle of the Jacobite Rising of 1745, and the last pitched battle on British soil.

The Jacobite army, led by Prince Charles Edward Stuart, fought against the British government army, led by the Duke of Cumberland. 

The Jacobites were defeated, with around 1,600 men killed, mostly Jacobites. 

The British lost only 50 men.

The battle ended the Jacobite Rising and settled a dispute over the monarchy that had lasted almost 60 years.

Lyrics:

They marched towards the battlefield
Many of them were starving
The clans all together
And they refused to yield

They charged across the boggy ground
That slowed them down
Onwards towards the canon fire
From the redcoat lines

Chorus

Oh the legend of Culloden
Where many brave men died
It will never be forgotten
Still hear the battle cries

Some say their ghosts walk there
On that forbidden moor
Haunted by those that had fallen
Echoes of brave souls

The gallant highlanders fought that day
Though outnumbered 2 to 1
Onward they kept on going
But were massacred one by one

Bridge

Chorus

Soon the battle it was over
The British army had won
Dead and dying around them lay
The Jacobite’s dream died that day

Legend of Culloden (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration)

Emilio, aka https://soundcloud.com/stranger-something and https://soundcloud.com/olla-de-insomnio send me this wonderful instrumental. A very special thank you to Alejandro Venegas for playing these great drums. Later on he mixed and mastered it, he also provided this picture. It was a great pleasure to write and sing along, a Big Thank You for that…

Oh,
Wait
Is it already that late ?
And we still hesitate
Let us concentrate…
Let ’s collaborate…
Yeah…
Seriously…
This is supposed to be 
Just another love song
But 
We cannot sort out heart from mind, 
And that won’t be different this time

And with  .4 k per second
Just spinning around ourselves

No giggling please…
Fasten your deep senses
This is a far flight
And it’s only one-way…

Let us concentrate - ah -
Here today
There is no escape…

No giggling please…
Let’s collaborate…
This is supposed to be 
Just another love song
We won’t sort out heart from mind
And that won’t be different this time

And with 3.2 k per second, 
Ahaa, ahaa…
Circling around the sun
Ohh,
No giggling please…
Fasten your deep senses
This is a far flight
And it’s only one-way…
It’s only one way…
One way-y-y-y-y-y-y-y…yeah…

- solo -

So many lovesongs have been sung
So why again now a further one ?
Because it must not be left undone
Cannot leave it undone
Just cannot leave it undone…

Ohh,
There are turbulences

No joking please
There is trouble ahead
Hitting the unprepared -
Ohh, this is a hard way…

While we float
With some 30 k/s 
Around the milky way
And other hundreds of k/s
Trundling other ways
Within a thousand days
That is quite a stray
Even if you don’t move a single hoof…

No giggling please
This is supposed to be another love song
No joking please
This is a far flight
No giggling please
This is a heart’s way
And it’s only…
It's only one-way,
It's only one way…

SLEEP LIKE YOU (New mix January 2025)

For you 
I’m going to find a new place - for you
I’m going to buy a new heart - for you
I’m going to build a new bed - for you
Slip like any new kind of sail 
Swoop like any brave kind of bird
Into heather, purple heather 
On our pillows
Into clover, fresh picked clover
In our minds
But no-one I know
Sleeps like you do
No-one I’ve ever known - except you
But no-one I know
Sleeps like you do
No-one I’ve ever known - except you
Do you want to dream?

For you 
I’m going to find a new place - for you
I’m going to buy a new heart - for you
I’m going to build a new bed - for you
Slip like any new kind of sail 
Swoop like any brave kind of bird
Into heather, purple heather 
On our pillows
Into clover, fresh picked clover
In our minds
But no-one I know
Sleeps like you do
No-one I’ve ever known - except you
But no-one I know
Sleeps like you do
No-one I’ve ever known - except you
Do you want to dream?

Sleep Like You (Remix)

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 Mackie 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.
