Original track by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett

Lyrics...

If only for a second do you stop and think of me,
Sitting in the shadow of a life that's set you free?
Wishing you remembered how good you had it then,
I only wish you well on your journey to the end.

And if by some small miracle you should pass this way,
I'd take you warmly by the hand but I wouldn't make you stay.
See memories have a thousand tricks they always like to use,
One day you think it's sunshine the next it's just bad news.

I'll stand and I'll be waving from the top step by my door,
As your car heads down the road and you're on your way once more.
Towards a lost horizon with wings upon your heels,
Tell me when you get there how good it really feels. 

These whispered words of sentiment come only when I drink,
If I was stone cold sober I'd take the time to think.
And wonder what the hell you ever saw in me,
Did you settle for second best or did you get lazy?

I guess in time you realised that I was just no good,
The secrets that I hid behind the cabin in the woods.
Were too far gone and so messed up they put me in the frame,
And the only things they've left me with are sorrow and my name.

If I could still be brave enough if I could be adored,
Would I be a slave to love or simply be ignored?
The weight of expectation is the thing that's killing me,
In time you came to cage the beast and threw away the key.

Systematic waves of panic are coursing through my veins,
I'd better light the signal fire before everybody blames.
The single reason I exist as a warning to you all,
I thought I flew among the stars but everybody falls.

I made mistakes that much is true and I paid the price,
I tried to hide the lies I cried and tried to be real nice.
Depression all consuming tore at my very soul,
But now I turn to face the truth before I get too old.

If only for a second do you stop and think of me,
Sitting in the shadows of a life that's set you free?
Wishing you remembered how good you had it then,
I only wish you well on your journey to the end.

I am drawn to folk, blues, soft rock, and country music, new and old. I love songs that tell a story, especially the Irish, English, and Scottish ballads of long ago because their stories are often timeless, and most everyone at any time can relate to. 
 
I also am a pastel painter and find being able to express universal emotions through my art, as well as writing lyrics and putting them to music that I can sing and play on my guitar or ukelele so rewarding and comforting.

Memories of people, places, and events throughout my life influence the songs I write.





🎵 Original Music from Wirral, UK | Phil Dutton & Les Corlett AKA The DC Sound Project

The DC Sound Project. Eight albums deep and still going strong. It usually starts with a good old-fashioned jam session, then somehow ends in a coffee-fuelled recording marathon. We write songs about love, politics, heartbreak, and those occasional “what the hell is wrong with the world?” moments, all brewed fresh on the Wirral. Press play… it’s music therapy with better side effects!

We’re an independent duo creating everything from raw folk ballads to gritty blues-rock. Every video is carefully crafted with free footage and, sometimes, AI-generated visuals to tell the story behind the song.

Hello, 
I have not yet had the courage to write a message to you all.
So thank you for your mercy to write that one letter and I must apologize deeply.
I can't make music yet, but I will be back. Best regards.

May 23, 2023 The temple should be restored.

Good evening. What is the "Black Swan" that I do not know?
Today I believe that if we rejoice in the many ideas of AI, we will change the way we think about things to raise chickens before we turn to fight.
Let's run again the global happiness of letting nature take its course with its rotten thinking and people of color!  !!

That's the dream of the day.

Sunday, May 21, 2023 / I don't know much about dreams. /

I had a strange dream today after a long time. It felt weird and creepy, with a strange blue bone whispering words that wouldn't go away. And for some reason, I woke up in anger, although I don't know why. It's quite troubling. It seems like my brain is really exhausted... Maybe I should go to the hospital... Hahaha.

Hello everyone.
What has been the population ratio of the world as a whole over the past few years?　
Also, have there been any significant unseen changes in the various regions?
If we're thinking about survival in terms of contests over things like race, religion, territory, etc., then "how do we solve the senseless birthrate decline?" or "how to save our children from learning the values of mankind's ancient history"?
I believe this is an urgent issue that can only be solved through "diplomacy" with the necessary partners now.

///October 9, 2022 "Music"///
Since that time, everyone involved with FORM@RECORDS has seriously taught me the importance of music, and of course I understand what I need to reflect on. Recently, I browsed the label's URL and found it wonderful and supportive.

Now, about the SoundCloud world.
"As an individual of the Japanese Shinto religion, I wish you generosity of spirit, health and safety." 
I will let you know that.

I will also consider uploading Tracks from past Various-CDs.
My new work is also planned, so please wait for a while now until the environment is ready.
Always, thank you!

... Some of the top leaders of the country we live in are providing free "fuel for anger" to the people, albeit with great delay. Will we, the people, nakedly and obediently follow what the naked king says? I believe that regardless of whether we win or lose, the people could go from a small spark of ignition to "fuel for anger" to a major fire.
Well, I would like to think that it won't come to that.
Thanks.

Is it now Saturday, November 20th, 2021?
Hello. This sound-community is still a good place for me to be..
I'm going to keep playing music. I just tend to skip it now. Well...
As healthy as my wife was, 
I just told her that there is now another security virus called "Emotet" raging, and we have to watch out for variants, right? 
I told her. 
She replied to me as she sat on my bed. 
‘ Smallpox is also going around. ’ 
I turned my to the keyboard to work on my piece, thinking, 
Well....　
What!?　
Instantly, or rather in a few seconds, I looked back at my wife again, but her condition was not good and she was asleeping.  Ah.
I thought of looking up some music information on the browser on the computer screen in front of the keyboard again, but the search window showed only a strange number, computing “1101”.
"Oh, I'm starting to see the symptoms of hallucination?
Hmmm, what dimension and what binary address of the earth am I in?"

I'm going to leave my feelings here because social networking sites tend to be a bit blurry too.

I am deeply grateful for your comments. <3
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
First of all, I wish you all good health and safety.
And thank you so much for listening to my music.

I am open a second YouTube channel. 
Thank you for your continued support.<3

Name : LED-M or Led-M, 　Mototsugu Endo / 遠藤基嗣
Profile: In the early 90's, as a student, he became interested in the field of sound during a frequency experiment in his electronic experiments.
This was the starting point for his electronic music.
First he bought a cassette player to listen to music for the first time, and then he bought an analog master keyboard and a used Roland JV-880 synthesizer. He then completely customized those instruments and immersed himself in the creation of music.
After a few months of sending a few songs recorded on cassette demo tapes to FORM@ RECORDS, the result was that he embarked on his own path of music.

プロフィール：90年代初頭、学生である彼は電子実験の中で周波数実験中に音という分野に興味を持ち始めました。
それが彼のエレクトロニックミュージックの出発点です。
まず音楽を知らない彼は初めて音楽を聴くためにカセットプレーヤーを購入し、アナログマスターキーボードとRoland JV-880というシンセサイザーを中古購入した。そしてそれらの楽器を完全にカスタマイズして音楽の制作に没頭しました。
その後カセットのデモテープに録音された数曲の楽曲をFORM@ RECORDSに送った数ヶ月後の結果、彼は音楽という道に踏み入ったのです。

Hello dear Soundcloud listeners,

I'm still determined to continue producing music, the music of Pier Will, which can only be heard on Soundcloud and which can also be recorded... for now.

The world of music is rapidly moving towards a huge upheaval where the true musician will very quickly become "rare," or even more and more of a shadow, a peculiarity, a memory. This time is not so far away, as AI takes a predominant place in everything that touches us and surrounds us and in Music, this can already be heard very clearly!

Apparently, everyone is taking this lightly, and the few diehards are being sneered at as anti-progress terrorists, for now. I already have two work computers disconnected from the internet, which house my software and everything I need to work. No more updates for them to work properly... updates are only necessary if you need to connect! Another computer is dedicated solely to internet connection and will be used exclusively for streaming the tracks.

This decision has serious consequences for my production, as there are no more options to add anything to it. It's a gamble, but for me, it's an obligation to remain completely independent and free from AI.

Pier WILL - ❤️🕊️🙏

________________________________________________________________________

Bonjour chers auditeurs Soundcloud,
Je suis toujours déterminé à continuer à produire de la musique, celle de Pier Will, que l'on ne peut écouter que sur Soundcloud et qui peut aussi être enregistrée… pour l'instant.

Le monde de la musique s'achemine rapidement vers un bouleversement majeur où le véritable musicien deviendra très vite « rare », voire de plus en plus une ombre, une singularité, un souvenir. Ce temps n'est pas si lointain, car l'IA prend une place prépondérante dans tout ce qui nous touche et nous entoure, et en musique, cela se voit déjà très clairement !

Apparemment, tout le monde prend cela à la légère, et les quelques irréductibles sont méprisés comme des terroristes anti-progrès, pour l'instant. J'ai déjà deux ordinateurs de travail déconnectés d'Internet, qui hébergent mes logiciels et tout ce dont j'ai besoin pour travailler. Plus besoin de mises à jour pour qu'ils fonctionnent correctement… les mises à jour ne sont nécessaires que si vous avez besoin de vous connecter ! Un autre ordinateur est dédié uniquement à la connexion Internet et sera utilisé exclusivement pour le streaming des morceaux.

Cette décision a de graves conséquences sur ma production, car il n'y a plus aucune possibilité d'y ajouter quoi que ce soit. C'est un pari risqué, mais pour moi, c'est une obligation de rester totalement indépendant et libre de toute IA.

Pier WILL - ❤️🕊️
