Human League on steroids - or maybe something stronger!

Really catchy tune.  You captured the 80’s vibe in a way that feels fresh.  Like the lyrics a lot too.

Very powerful and awesome lyrics. Top notch Synth pop. This is stunning, I'm so happy I discovered you here :-)

Old rehearsal sound file.
The sound is bad but the groove is great.
Enjoy 😃.

Sound quality is poor due to one shot recording.
Sorry.

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin

Drank a few beers
And a little rum
At the end of the night
I'd make my way home
Home was a house 
Half way up to the sky
Where I'd look down 
On the birds flying by

When life was so slow
And I did what I pleased
When my days were so full
Many moments to seize
When time was my own
With so much to waste
When life was straightforward
And not two faced

DON'T TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED
TAKE IT ALL IN
WHEN WILL IT END
WHERE DID IT BEGIN
NOW I'M SO GRATEFUL
FOR THOSE LITTLE THINGS
THE AUTUMNS THE WINTERS
THE SUMMERS AND SPRINGS

But soon that time
Had  gone so fast
And soon that time
That I thought would last
Had disappeared
To who knows where
And all of a sudden
There's no time to spare

Don't Take Life For Granted (Cooper/Donkin Collaboration)

Uptempo dystopian synth-pop. My lyrics, music/vocals M. Lagersson. Copyright 2023 Jay Rich and Micke Lagersson. Lyrics below:

                 Holdout Humans 

V1:

Turn back time just fifty years
See what the doom-mongers feared
When AI was taking off
They knew there would be a cost

V2:

Now we're forced to colonize
Other worlds to fit our size
We've grown exponentially
And it's led to travesty

Lift:

There's less need for agriculture
Or for proper homes
Planet Earth has now become
A huge rewilding zone
Areas for energy-efficient software minds
Both futuristic and return to olden times

Ch1:

Holdout humans, we're the true ones:
All that's left of sapiens
The rest morphed into hybrid androids
Holdout humans, we're the true ones
Our race almost destroyed
We now face an existential void

Bridge:

The general myopia
Has fed this dystopia
Could we not see this would lead
To a strange, alien breed
From this thirst for progress, novelty
And quest for immortality
We're overpopulated
By the spares and clones that we've created
From this nightmare there is no escape

Ch2:

Holdout humans, we remain fixed
With the others we don't mix:
We're all outlaws, throwbacks
Sidelined renegades
Limited in territory
Outcast by the enemy
To this shadow life held hostage
That mankind has made

Outro:

It's now gone so far we can't be saved
And that's how we'll stay until the grave

Credit to Overdrive, who took a simple song with simple lyrics, worked around the chaos and created something of pure magic. Taking what nobody else heard and making it into a reality. This song came to life, representing exactly how I felt when I wrote it. I’ll forever be grateful for this simple act of grace and amazing talent. Thank you Overdrive for everything!

The Tumultuous Journey of the Reflection of Purple Hangings on the Soft Blue Sea...

I feel privileged yet again to have had a chance to collaborate with such talented and experienced musicians. Thank you all! 

The lyrics are dedicated to my former workplace from a few years ago. I knew I had to one day do something. Little did I know it was with music. 😉

Gigs Across The River -  Piano Solo 9

Hi all, I'm a multi-genre, diversely-themed very prolific hobbyist lyricist who writes virtually with a variety of composer-singers and sometimes solo. Header pics courtesy of Wavebreakmedia and Pvproductions. Also benart75 and Vecteezy.com

All 40 listed hugely varied songs are copyrighted by myself, Jay Rich, and various co-writers, 2007-2024. There are also a number of concept video links in the describe your track section, plus many more songs unposted due to SC's free page limitations. I also have a truly massive backlog of lyrics constantly being added to, with influences too many to list. This being so, feel free to hit me up for collaborations (I write both to and without music) but be aware I only write for fun and challenge; I'm no industry wannabe and never plan to be.

Finally, please do not 'follow' me if you can't be bothered listening to any of my songs. It won't be reciprocated and I will block you. The prima donnas here are tedious and you know who you are. Ditto the bots that 'like' a track the instant it's uploaded. Soundcloud, you need to do a better clean-up job here, please take note... Overall though thanks for a very useful and generally friendly platform.👍
