03 Noa's Song

I used to busk in the Castle Square.

I'm sure a drummer would have made the toy reflex hammer I used to strike a bit of wood sound better and a bass player could get a better sound out of my acoustic bass with a missing string. The recording could have sounded great by someone who knows how to use my recording machine.  My three part harmony might sound nice done by a singer and the song would be better if written by Robyn Hitchcock. I had fun anyway

Dedicated to the Funklebury Moth

Chimney pots, old rocks
Gargoyles and cobbled lanes 
Ice cream shops, roof tops 
Open fires, grape and grain 
Morris Minors used to park here
Before it was pedestrianised
Now Morris Dancers clack again
For little ladies and Knights
Sunshine lighting limestone castle walls 
Makes it feel like Cairo 
But I know that heavy weather's coming again
Topsy-turvy beauty, twisted roots and iron gates 
Twinkling window lights, people laughing with their mates
Superior musicians getting out their violins
The bagpiper has appeared 
Her music always wins
Busking in the sunshine, tourists so kind
Sometimes it shows
But I know that heavy weather's coming again
And it's raining, again
It's raining again 
Sunshine lights the limestone castle walls 
Makes it feel like Cairo 
I know, it's a joy to play happy -  Incredulous and scrappy
Happy songs
In the rain 









Busking in the Rain

His debut EP, Wasted Spaces, was released in the spring of 2023 to the delight of his growing fan base. A respected musician and songwriter, Darcy’s songwriting and stage presence have been called engaging and beyond his years. Wasted Spaces is a collection of stories inspired by his ability to observe and interpret the world around him. From the melodic hook in the EP’s title track to the haunting message in Nobody Has the Time, if this first release is any indication, we are watching a great musician in the making.

Nobody Has The Time

'Jazzy Ditty' (https://soundcloud.com/user-432503709/jazzy-ditty-new-med?in=user-432503709/sets/album-the-goods) is one of my earliest and favourite jazz tracks, which I keep revisiting and trying different things with. In this slowed down version, the opening and closing piano parts are the main chorus theme, and in the middle I tried throwing in another older track - 'Belle Curves Blues'. 

There's also an alternate faster version called 'Jazzy Ditty (alto - quartet)', where the piano melody line is replaced by a saxophone. https://soundcloud.com/user-432503709/jazzy-ditty-new-med-quartet?in=user-432503709/sets/bestest-ones

I'd love to eventually expand the main theme into a longer piece, and one day have this played live by jazz musicians. 

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.   :)

Guiding light

Well I just don’t know where I’d be without you
Or if I’d be anywhere at all
And it chills me to the bone to think about it
When loneliness comes knocking at my door.

You’re the only one
Who truly knows me.
And yes, indeed you put up with a lot
And in return I’ve tried to do the right things.
But mostly more often than not.

You were still there for me
Wrong or right
When the end of days becomes the night.
When I can’t find my way through the darkness
Make no mistake.
You’re my guiding light.

Sometimes you can’t fix what’s been broken.
Then a man just has to just accept his fate.
But I thank the Lord above that you still love me.
To help me bear that crushing weight

And you’re there for me
Wrong or right
When the end of days becomes the night
When I can’t fight the way through the darkness:
Make no mistake
You’re my guiding light.

Make no mistake
You’re my guiding light

Make no mistake
you’re my guiding light

Guiding Light

phonicBOOM's global premiere pop rock single, "Resilient", was inspired by the incredible communities rising up and supporting each in the face of headwinds -- pandemics, politics or economic downturns, whatever.

"Together, we're resilient."
"What makes us stronger, is what makes us invincible."

Resilient

The Rain Falls on Belvedere (w/Mott McCampbell)

Ocean is all about capturing the magic and beauty of the ocean. With every note, I aimed to reflect the tranquil waves, the vast expanse, and the serene whispers of the sea. It's a piece meant to bring you peace and a moment of calm, just like standing by the shore and watching the waves roll in.

Lyrics:    Imagination

There’s a shadow in my, imagination
Where the moonlight left me, without sensation
Makes it hard to see the, sun is shining
It’s a cloud with, no silver lining

It was something in the way, she cried into me
When the tears dried, the drought, forever threw me. 

There’s a corner of the bar at a downtown cafe
Where the sunlight through the door marks the end of the day
When you broke the light, from the doorway
From the corner I was, looking your way

It was something in the way, you looked into me
When you spoke to me it went right through me. 

Sometimes one thing really, leads to another
Shadows only need a spark, to recover
We were sparkin’ like a, July occasion 
And the fireworks lit up my imagination 

Now it’s something in the way that you call out my name
And the moonlight reveals, my sensation again

Imagination
