Thank you so much! I would like to thank you all for visiting me here, following me, listening to my music, commenting, liking and sharing. It really means a lot to me that I get so much encouragement from you. a special thanks to Renga Brick. Because of her support and listening to my music, my plays in February were 54 times higher than before. This boosted SC's algorithm and I was suggested more often. But the support from all of you makes me very happy and grateful! In the whole time I have received only nice and friendly comments, which have always brought me a smile. As a small thank you I have created a remix of "Imperial Dance". I am looking forward to my new projects and your reactions! Thank you!

This piece is the final result of our latest collaboration. This time we have the pleasure of inviting you to travel through time and space, and perhaps we can cross that boundary together.
   The end of the year is a time to visit each other and travel. So this will be a winter journey, in snow and blizzard. Perhaps during sunset or even at night... Either way, the doors of imagination have been opened!
    We hope to drift together in melancholy reverie towards the new year. Thank you for your time, attention and your ongoing support. Happy New Year!!!

galactic mess

*** This extended version was not planned, rather, inspiration called for it, and I felt compelled to revisit this piece. I hope you will enjoy this new version. ***

A requiem for my sister Lisa, and 4th movement of a work I have planned to complete as I have time and inspiration for each part of my outline.

The title comes from my daughter, who heard me as I was playing with the initial melodic idea, and said it sounds like a mourning bird.

This piece is best heard through headphones or quality stereo speakers to hear all the details.

Special thanks to the following, in no particular order, for their feedback, support and kindness which helped me to make this piece what it is.

Burning Down the House

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.

The Puppeteers

If Only For a Second

IF ONLY FOR A SECOND

man, the girl was acting crazy
eyes a little hazy
she escaped with her life
looked in the magic mirror
the demon creeping nearer with a ritual knife
drew the blood up through the fountain
scaled the wizard's mountain
and down through the sky
and she gazed a gazeless stare 
that chilled the summer air
and then she waited to die
man, the girl got into motion
and conjured up a potion
and she hid it away
cuz she knew the dude was coming
she couldn't keep running and living this way
she's a mean necromancer
a midnight dancer always getting her way
he's a mean mutilator, a slimy alligator 
come to take you away
crystal balls, enchantments, curses, and portals
damn us all to die or suffer immortal
in her hands the wretched tools for survival:
the commands of dead, unholy revival
man, the girl drank the elixir 
hoping it would fix her
yeah she needed to fight
so she summoned up a skelly
from the depths of hell she cast him out in the night
would the wizard hear him sneakin?
rotten bones a creakin as he entered the lair?
to the girls satisfaction
he fell for the distraction she cast out of thin air
in his claws he held the resurrected
and he saw his final moments reflected
as the girl stood behind the foul wizard
from this world and into hell she delivered
man, the girl she put him down

Man, the girl (and the electric wizard)

Original track by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett
Lyrics...

Last night I threw my back out,
Dancing like I did in '92.
I guess I wished for something better. 
It's not down to my age,
But my brand new shoes.

You smell of cheap perfume and cigarettes,
You haven't got style and your hair's a mess.
I got sober and I got fixed,
You haven't got a potion in your little bag of tricks,
To ever make me wanna waste my time on you.

I spent my day in quiet reflection,
I spent what little time I had,
To show you the real affection.
Now isn't that kind of sad?
As always I am lying to cover up the pain,
You're beautiful my dear and I must be insane.

You smell of cheap perfume and cigarettes,
You haven't got style and your hair's a mess.
I got sober and I got fixed,
You haven't got a potion in your little bag of tricks,
To ever make me wanna waste my time on you.

Well pardon me for being so forward,
I've been wanting to ask you,
Are you feeling lonely?
Well so have I but that's too bad.
I can sometimes feel a rush,
That comes to me from out of nowhere.

I'm rambling on like a force of nature,
I'm talking too much,
Am I starting to bore?
If I could hold on for only a moment, 
I'd tell you, Id tell you the truth,
I couldn't love you, I couldn't love you more.

I Couldn't Love You More

I COULDN'T LOVE YOU MORE

Original track by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett
Lyrics...

Completeness of the sweetness is a bitter pill to take, 
Feel the earth move in loves embrace.

I was thinking to myself, 
how good it really felt.
To wake up in the morning,
When the cards were dealt. 

I hung up the phone,
I turned my back
One fatal moment,
When the deck was stacked

The sunshine was golden,
Your kiss lifted me.
Out of my slumber,
You rescued me.

As the warmth of our bodies,
Merged into one.
We lay there for hours,
In the rays of the sun.

You can keep your diamonds,
You can keep your cash.
I found my piece of heaven,
That's so much better than that. 

The sunshine was golden,
Your kiss lifted me.
Out of my slumber,
You rescued me.

Completeness of the sweetness is a bitter pill to take, 
Feel the earth move in loves embrace.

I lived in denial,
I starved myself of true love.
I prayed for the moment,
And to the heavens above.

I coasted through,
A lifetime of regret,
so  scared to take a chance,
and I never slept.

The sunshine was golden,
Your kiss lifted me.
Out of my slumber,
You rescued me. Rpt…

Sunshine Was Golden

SUNSHINE WAS GOLDEN

Original track by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett
Lyrics...

It doesn't mean that much to me anyway,
Wearing the same clothes I had on yesterday.
And I just can't believe it,
Even though you say it's true,
While in the meantime this is my life.

I woke again this morning with an aching in my chest,
Was it just a broken heart or simply loneliness?
I wished for pleasant weather,
To brighten up my day.
While in the meantime, this is my life.

When they tell me I'm too old, That I should know better,
No ending has a meaning,         If the stories never told.
I show what I can do, With smile upon my face,
and I'll sing you a song…  like lovers do.

MIDDLE 8ISH GUITAR BREAK

If you take me away from the place I want to be,
Show me a valley of green as far as the eye can see.
Fall asleep in your arms and dream of what might be.
But in the end my love…. I just have to leave.

It doesn't mean that much to me anyway,
Wearing the same clothes I had on yesterday.
And I just can't believe it,
Even though you say it's true,
While in the meantime this is my life.

This is my Life

THIS IS MY LIFE

Original track by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett
Lyrics...


Time slips away like grains of sand,
Memories fading, slipping from my hand.
Youthful dreams, they're now just ghosts,
A life once vibrant, now shadows close.

In the mirror, lines etched deep,
A roadmap of moments, promises to keep.
The ache of bones, the slowing race,
As life's swift river slows its pace.

Getting old, it's a bittersweet song,
The days grow short, the nights so long.
Friends and lovers, they fade from view,
Leave behind echoes of "I love you."

As loved ones, depart, like ships at sea,
We learn to let go, we learn to be free.
In fading echoes, a wisdom lies,
A silent understanding that never dies.

The world spins on, but we stand still,
Grasping at moments, trying to fill,
The void left by those who've gone ahead,
Leaving us to follow the paths they've tread.

Getting old, it's a journey alone,
As those we cherish find their way home.
Each goodbye, a tear in the soul,
Reminding us of life's ultimate toll.

So let the years roll on, let the stories unfold,
For in the heart of getting old, there's a beauty untold.
A tapestry woven with threads of gold,
As we embrace the journey, of growing old.

Shadows

SHADOWS

Original track by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett
Lyrics...

Oh What it was,
Oh What a shame,
We could have been.
One and the same.
With complications,
When things go wrong.
My paranoia,
Is growing strong.

In my confusion,
I kept on losing'.
My bad decisions,
Got in the way.
I kept on lying,
I kept on trying.
The only reason,
I'm here to stay.

I looked the wrong way. 
I took the wrong way.
My sense of purpose,
Was stripped  away. 
I never found out,
Who pulled the ground out.
From under me,
From under me.

You're never going to hear me say,
I love you,
You're never going to hear me say,
I care.
What the hell am I supposed to do now?
My days grow long whenever you're not there.

I looked the wrong way. 
I took the wrong way.
My sense of purpose,
Was stripped  away. 
I never found out,
Who pulled the ground out.
From under me,
From under me.

Oh what it was,
Oh what a shame.
We could have been,
One and the same.
With complications,
When things go wrong.
My paranoia,
Is growing strong.

I looked the wrong way. 
I took the wrong way.
My sense of purpose,
Was stripped  away. 
I never found out,
Who pulled the ground out.
From under me,
From under me.

Repeat…

One and the Same

ONE AND THE SAME

🎵 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.
