Dear Reader, 

Not all songs must exist on the grid. This song has no click track and therefore, it breathes. As a result, nothing was quantized. It's real playing and real performances. I hope that you can hear it. 

Of course,  the song was multitracked (I played and sang everything, so it had to be) and since there was no grid, I had to listen and react to make it gel.  I hope you consider what I did a success. 

Thanks as always for coming back to listen to more of my music. In the past four years I have produced more than 140 original music videos and I have gained 800 subscribers. This is only the beginning. I have much more music to write, arrange and produce, and I am thankful for every listen. 

Respectfully,

Something Up Your Sleeve

Original Song
by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett

Lyrics

It took me an age to lift myself,
From the deep pit of despair.
It took me an age to forgive myself,
As if anybody cared.

I showed myself to the world,
They saw through all my lies.
If they really want to know the truth,
Look deep into my eyes.

The pain I felt came with a cost,
One I can now reveal.
I tried to hide how deep I sank,
And how I couldn't tell what was real.

Friends tried their best to break me free,
From the prison I had built.
The walls were from a promise made,
And the bars came from my guilt.

I prayed for my salvation,
I prayed till the light grew dark.
I struggled with the demons,
That burnt and left their mark.

10 years gone I'm free at last,
And my days are running out.
But I'm still too scared to live my life,
So I pour my feelings out.

The pain I felt came with a cost,
One I can now reveal.
I tried to hide how deep I sank,
And how I couldn't tell what was real.

Friends tried their best to break me free,
From the prison I had built.
The walls were from a promise made,
And the bars came from my guilt.

IT TOOK AN AGE

Lyrics by Ron Todd

Gonna ride my bike like Steve McQueen
Be just like him from that movie scene
A flash of dust like a bullet I’d be gone
Blue jeans, white shirt, leather boots pulled on

Travel this country from end to end
Every drive in bar gonna be my friend
Just a smell of rye and store bought gasoline
Get my face on the front of a famous magazine

Chorus
I just wanna be like Steve McQueen
He was rough and tough, he was lean and mean
He had it all a blue eyed sex machine
I just wanna be like Steve McQueen

Bridge 
So
I’ll Smoke those wheels
Kick those heels
Nobody know the way it feels
Oh Yeah

Guitar break

Gonna ride that bike foot to the floor
Miles around you'd hear the engine roar
Never touch the brakes I’d go full on
Cos you wont even see me I’ll be up and gone

Yeah white lightning ain't got nothing on me
Down the highway, sheer poetry
Go so fast, the city lights fly by
Won't catch me I’m like a comet in the sky

Chorus

I just wanna be like Steve McQueen,
From that movie scene
Like Steve McQueen

Just Wanna Be Like Steve McQueen (Cooper/Todd Collaboration)

New Year, New Vibes

She still remembers a time that was uncomplicated. As sure as the sunrise, she has seen things you will never see. Losses and sorrow make up her strength. But oh, how much both demand their toll. She is still fighting. It is better to know that there is still life in her.

She still remembers a time,

Love to the Moon

🎵 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.

💿 Albums: Snaggletooth (2025)
Addiction (2025)

Yellin’ at the Clouds (2024)
