mister big is coming after you 
nobody knows just what he'll do.
he’s a big husky boy with a persuasive way,
he can get you new shoes for a walk in the bay
mister big’s got something for you
and you’ve got something that he wants too
business is business and friends are friends
do business with big and you’ll be friends to the end

he’s been thinking of you for a week or two
nobody know just what he’ll do
in the middle of the night, maybe he’ll surprise you
then you’ll realize just who holds you tight
mister big is coming after you

pay mister big within his terms
and he could arrange to save you from the worms
if you should default when the debt is due
i think he’ll send mike the hammer after you

and he’s been thinking of you for a week or two
nobody know just what he’ll do
in the middle of the night, maybe he’ll surprise you
then you’ll realize just who holds you tight

mister big is coming after you
in the middle of the night
mister big is coming after you
he’s been thinking ‘bout it for a week or two
mister big is coming after you
he’s been thinking ‘bout it cuz you’re long overdue

cuz business is business and friends are friends
do business with big and you’ll be friends to the end
pay mister big, hey mister big
he’s been thinking of you a week or two
maybe he’ll surprise you,
mister big, mister big
he’s been thinking of you

This is the last in the Cloudlines series (Just realised I've been putting this collection together for more than 6 years!) 
A dreamlike series of ambient instrumentals featuring warm melodies, acoustic guitars (both nylon and steel strung), heavily processed electric guitars and a shimmering wash of synths.
A mix of the familiar, the nostalgic and the experimental.
The whole series is also available on my Bandcamp page.
Thanks for listening .......
Richard :)
PS a new long term project is on it's way.

Many thanks to Andy Cruse (Kafla) for adding his great vocals to the track. You can hear more of Andy's music here.. https://soundcloud.com/andrewcruse/tracks

Here's to you my comrades
Who've been and passed
Here's to you my friends
I raise my glass.

The times we shared
Those times are gone
Our lives are joined forever
We share a bond

We had our fun
And now it's time to pay
All the things we've said and done
Are washed away

Ah,the young will live forever
All of a single mind
Always rushing forward
Never need to look behind

We had our fun
And now it's time to pay
All the things we've said and done
Are washed away

Single Minds. feat Kafla on vocals

Kinda a pop-rock track ! 
Had the chorus but wanted an edge so here we are ! 
Thanks for listening 😎

Somewhere Inbetween

Having benefitted from many generous SC artists' Open Collaborations in the past, I have decided to upload my own.

Please feel free to add anything you like. If you'd like me to comment and repost, please send me a DM and I'll oblige as soon as I can. Sorry I won't be able to send individual stems.

It is a simple guitar, bass and drums turnaround, repeated three times. Complicate it as much as you'd like, or just use it to jam to as you please

Be good

Nick

Open Collab - Jelly

(Free WAV Download available here under '••• More'; and eventually as part of my BandCamp PWWO #07 album)

Good afternoon my SC music friends. I have a really nice one to share with you today. It’s my first time collaborating with the exceptional and enigmatic ambient artist, Wodwo (https://soundcloud.com/user-364196783-552705040, https://rayrobinson.bandcamp.com/); and the results are quite captivating, iffen I do say so myself. 

If you haven’t encountered Wodwo’s ambient works yet, dim the lights… get the headphones (maybe not in that order, so you don’t trip over anything). His creations (to the workings of my mind) are soundscapes perfectly designed as launching points for me to paint my own stories into... the groundwork is laid so spaciously and evocatively. 

Pulled directly from his bio, ‘born to be mild’ sums his works up perfectly; beautiful sound sculptures that let the mind go quiet and go adventuring… for just a little while.

So without further delay, we offer you our first collaborative effort, ‘Paint Eventually Peels”. We hope you enjoy. :)

Paint Eventually Peels | Wodwo & GrevusAnjl

A tribute to one of my closest friends Andy who passed last year from cancer. He left two beautiful daughters and his wonderful wife behind. 
Also a long lasting effect on me and I never got to tell him he really was one of my kings.
This is a raw live recording because that’s seems  more relevant to him coming from a punk background. 
I worked, socialised and shared some unbelievable memorable moments with Andy stretching over a 30 year period.
He was an original punk rocker in his younger days and played as a drummer in many different punk bands. Carried the tattoos of punk and that period carried him through the rest of his life. Very knowledgeable about music and cultures. 
He always got up behind the kit and blasted out at our soundchecks and when we were breaking down after the gig, he just couldn’t help himself. Always supported live new music and my band projects. 
Andy was one of the Co founders with me of underground music magazine Blag. Known as Andypunkrock to the readers.
I will never forget him and think about him everyday.
You don’t realise until certain people leave you how much it affects you. 
RIP Andy you were One Of My Kings.

One Of My Kings (Acoustic Live RIP)

Hiya Peoples! 😊

As seeds, budding plants, shrubs and bears awaken from the depths of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and Spring comes, we're delighted to finally Release a New Track for Spring of 2023! 😎  
   
We call it 'Awakening'. 

And thank goodness that as usual, the fingers of Tim Elliot are on his Telecaster and mine on the ancient Upright Grand Piano .

and together, they work their magic as we continue to explore the sonic landscape together through Improvisation.

Of course this can only happen within a space of Deep Listening.  A place Musicians can go in their totally individual inimitable ways.                      
                                                                                                                               
In our case, we almost immediately found ourselves being 'Led' into a Tonal Awakening....
Subtle grooves that were an outer manifestation of the Joy we were experiencing as we explored the spaces in between the notes.  😊  

Of course, the very best kind of Awakening is to one's own inimitable Truth, no matter the noise and apparent confusion all around. And sure... there's all kinds of negativity and nonsense in this ol world, but who needs to Awaken to that? It's more than obvious!
 
Far better to explore and express one's unique Creativity! To share the Love one feels for whatever they're passionate about, through their Music! 😉

May you enJOY what Tim and i have been up to lately.
