I love this song it's rent free in my head 🗣️

An excellent piece of work, very enjoyable listen.

your way of writing reminds me a little of Chris de Burgh somehow :) the lyrics are amazing!

This is very touching and beautiful. Quite soul gripping 💜

you¨re good-and thanks for writeing u'r lyrikka- straight forward-always moves

Seriously. Bravo with this song. Found my channel for today.

Having reached over 1000 subs on SoundCloud we decided to release an album we are both very proud of. We have put all our effort into producing the very best album we could. We have written, performed, mixed and mastered it all on a trusty home studio and we hop you enjoy listening to it as much as we did writing, performing and recording it

Melancholy Blue

Lyrics

I've been searching for meaning in the eye of a storm,
Somewhere to shelter that's cosy and warm.
Where candlelight flickers, shadows dance on the walls,
In comfort I'll wish for the end of the war

There's no reason to feel the way that I do,
While I'm working away, I think of home and of you.
My memory slips through the hours of the night,
I wish you were here still holding me tight.

As the wind that is blowing and rattles my door, 
I could have done better, I could have done more. 
When someone beside me held out a hand,
And whispered the words that helped me to stand. 

I noticed a change in my body and mind,
In the quiet of a moment that's so hard to find.
When people like us are so easy to please,
Why do we struggle for one second of peace?

Let loose the shackles and unburden my chains,
Everything changes but still stays the same.
It's driving me crazy, It's breaking my heart,
They can't stop the bullets that tare lives apart.

I've  been searching for meaning in the eye of a storm,
Somewhere to shelter that's cosy and warm.
Where candlelight flickers, shadows dance on the walls,
In comfort I'll wish for the end of the war. 

As the wind that is blowing and rattles my door, 
I could have done better, I could have done more. 
When someone beside me held out a hand,
And whispered the words that helped me to stand. 

I noticed a change in my body and mind,
In the quiet of a moment that's so hard to find.
When people like us are so easy to please,
Why do we struggle for one second of peace?

I've  been searching for meaning in the eye of a storm,
Somewhere to shelter that's cosy and warm.
Where candlelight flickers, shadows dance on the walls,
In comfort I'll wish for the end of the war. 

There's no reason to feel the way that I do,
While I'm working away, I think of home and of you.
My memory slips through the hours of the night,
I wish  you were here still holding me tight.

The Eye of the Storm

The Eye Of The Storm

By Phil Dutton & Les Corlett

Lyrics

I've been waiting for the winds to change, To blow me back to shore.
I've been drifting here for several days, It makes me want her more.
You can see I broke her heart - and I know I let her down,
I was careless in the ways of love. So what do I do now?

Blue as I am I still have faith, I can turn this ship around, before it’s too late
Blue as I am I'll plead my case, before I run aground, before it’s too late

The sun and the moon shone down on me, It gave me time to think.
She's all I want, she's all I need to pull me back from the brink.
Sally said "Don't play that game!", "Your lies tore me apart".
"Why not be true with how you feel?", "Now's a good time to start".
I stood in amazement and nailed to the spot, My heartbeat started to race.
I took in the beauty that stood there before me, As she put me in my place.

Blue as I am I still have faith, I can turn this ship around, before it’s too late
Blue as I am I'll plead my case, before I run aground, before it’s too late

The sun  and the moon shone down on me, it gave  me time to think,
She's all I want, she's  all I need to pull me back from the brink.
Who am I fooling? No one but myself, I have to think this through.
What am I doing? I'm constantly screwing, everything up it's true.
If only the seconds didn't pass like hours and my mouth wasn't so damn dry.
I'd give her the reasons if I had the power, enough so I could try,

Blue as I am I still have faith, I can turn this ship around, before it’s too late
Blue as I am I'll plead my case, before I run aground, before it’s too late

Lyrics:
Sitting in a taxi
It is dark outside
Looking out the window
At pictures passing by

I´m just passing by in a taxi
In a capsule

Houses, cars and people
In grey, black and white
Look so large and distant
In electric light

I´m just passing by in a taxi
In a capsule

Neonlights and dim glow
Abstract sighs of light
In lonesome lost places
Attract creatures of the night. 

I´m just passing by in a taxi
In a capsule

Lyrics...

I'll be the last one to know,
When the lights go out,
I've been living in the dark,
With my fear and doubts,
It doesn't really matter,
What offer you propose
Because every day is wasted,
As I slowly decompose.

We rise and we fall,
Then the rubber hits the road,
We drive overnight,
It's never easy so I'm told
And the song that is playing,
Takes me back to my youth,
At journeys end,
I'll stop and face the truth.

Oh somebody hold me,
I think I've lost it all
Won't somebody ask me,
Was it worth it all
Oh somebody take me
I think I've lost my way
Oh somebody kiss me
And make me live again

With all my days numbered
From the first until last
You'd think I'd had a ball
Well you'd think I'd had a blast
I drank all my tequila
My whisky and wine
To drown out all the noise
And passage of time

As my memories dim
In the cold light of day
I'll politely ask you
If I should have stayed
As I feel the earth shifting
Here beneath my feet
The drummers are marching
To the sound of a different beat

Oh somebody hold me
I think I've lost it all
Won't somebody ask me
Was it worth it all
Oh somebody take me
I think I've lost my way
Oh somebody kiss me
And make me live again

When the lights go out
Remember me
When the lights go out
Remember me
When the lights…

When the Lights go Out

First Night Clean

Original song by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett.

Lyrics...

Don't take the colour from my dreams,
Don't make me see in black and white,
There's no sense to it,
A love so delicate, 
All of the things.
I think I lost along the way, I must admit it.
In the early morning light, I sometimes feel I miss it.

I shouldn't feel the way I do,
I found a way to rig the game,
And I love you.
Is it any wonder that I can't help myself?
I hold on tightly to the things that make me smile.
Oh if it's wonderful, simply wonderful,
I'd die I'd die I'd die, 
wonderful, simply wonderful
I'd die I'd die, A happy man.
                       
I still have a touch of that fatal charm,
You still have a blush in your cheeks.
been away too long,   
And it feels so wrong
I feeling paranoid,
Wrap me up,. in my dreams.
Restless as I lay here, I need to get some sleep.

I shouldn't feel the way I do,
I found a way to rig the game,
And I love you.
Is it any wonder that I can't help myself?
I hold on tightly to the things that make me smile.
Oh if it's wonderful, simply wonderful,
I'd die I'd die I'd die, 
wonderful, simply wonderful
I'd die I'd die, A happy man...

I'd Die a Happy Man

An original song by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett.

Lyrics...

Find a moon lit pool and swim, swim, swim...

'Heading off in a new direction, 
 The way ahead is now clear to me now'.
Swim, swim, swim.
Swim, swim, swim.

I'll take my time till the movement wakes me,
I smile and watch the world pass by,
Swim, swim, swim. 
Swim, swim, swim.   

We are just lost souls
Looking for connection
Trying to find a reason
Trying to find an answer
Looking for a soul mate
Before it is too late
Whisper from the darkness
I cannot seem to hear
A figure in the distance
I cannot seem to see
You are a beautiful soul
That cannot fill the hole

In my heart, I'm searching
For a love that's true and real
But the world keeps on turning
I'm longing for something to heal
I'm reaching out in silence
Hoping you'll understand
That together we can find
A love that is here and grand

DECEPTION.

The battle rages on
And we must choose a side
Only hot or cold
Left in the divide

The fence is rotting
Upon which we sit
Soon it won’t hold
We’ll fall as it splits

We'll fall

Hearts will be broken
And turn on their own
Until they freeze solid
And then turn to stone

Or will grow warmer
Remember our youth
Grow stronger with time
Grow stronger in Truth

The choice will be made
Inside every heart
On the day of the Lord
All will be sorted out

Sitting on the fence,
is no defense
The truth will reveal
the deception

Sort it out
