Hello Phil! How wonderful that you are sharing yet another beautiful recording. It is deeply emotional, rich in melodic lyricism, and undoubtedly holds great meaning for you. An excellent selection of sounds and skillfully chosen means of expression have made your song profoundly personal, enhancing its beauty even further.  The vocal performance is truly moving—its clarity and beauty resonate with an undeniable sincerity. Each note carries weight, drawing the listener into the depths of the song’s essence. The interplay of melody and emotion creates an atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive, allowing the audience to connect not only with the music itself but with the story it tells. Best Regards 😉


A Long Way to Go

We’re on the way 
The road’s ahead
There’s a long way to go 
But we’re both strong

Every step is harder 
Than the one before
But the pain will fade 
Of that we can both be sure

I don’t blame you 
for what happened to us
We were both as bad 
As the other one

There’s a long way to go
But we’ll get there 
There’s a long way to go 
But we’re both strong

When the rain pours down 
And the winds lash out
We must hold on tighter
To ride this out

If doubts arise
Let’s push them away
Cause I know with you
I just have to stay

Forever

It’s a long way to go but we’ll make it together
It’s a long way to go but we’ll make it together
It’s a long way to go but we’ll both always be together

Lyrics by Phil Hawker






A Long Way to Go

I have always loved music. I learnt piano as a child and have dabbled with guitar without ever learning it ... until now! I have been in choirs most of my life but have not really delved into making music until the last few years. After initially playing around with Garage Band, I moved on to Logic Pro and that's how nearly all of my music has been produced.

I use digital software, guitar and keyboards to produce my original music. I compose and edit using Logic Pro. Other people's vocals or collaborative vocals for any track really are very welcome! 

I love the interaction on Soundcloud and the comments from other musicians and composers are so helpful and supportive. Keep making music everyone!
