Life Comes In Waves

Need a break? Get way from the hustle bustle, take five minutes of music to unwind. Relax, chill-out and meditate with ambient, improvised, bluesy laid back electric piano track, by a cool babbling stream. Calming, peace and thoughtful happiness with a dash of melancholy.

Time Out

The Devil Might Have Won

Thank You for 1000 plays! ❤️

When exercise in mixing bass changes into track ;) It's a kind of medieval/celtic triphop track. I've again returned to Irish Harp. Now there are 3 of them ;)

Imagine.... A medieval castle town stretching around the defensive walls. The girl around 18, with long hair getting out from home. She grabs basket and a shawl and runs outside. It's an early morning, the light is cold and it is a bit misty... she goes down the street close to the wall, she has the tight dress with more open bottom. She begin to dance... This is modern dance. Something between classical and jazz with modern additions of head and hands movement. When she dance more and more girls join her dance with simultaneous movements...

It's an anachronism like in "The Knight's Tale" dance scene:

Dance of Lonely Maidens

It's another collection of varied tunes.

The joy inside us - melodic, soulful and uplifting beats and is a reflection on the joy I have felt in my life. It feels good ;-)

Song of the Elven - this melds a fat bassline with jazzy guitar and sinister bell sounds. Think Santa's elves have taken over the party for the evening and have got into the punch...

Inside the storm - a follow on to Approaching the Storm (on my debut album). It's a reflection on what it feels like to be in the middle of a whirlwind and not knowing the way forwards.

And because I cannot end on dark notes, the last track is a simple lullaby no.6, named after the UDO Super 6 synth it was written on. Boy that synth is awesome... I have more coming using that toy :-)

Dreams Released

The Joy Inside Us

Nothing better than an old friend coming over (and over again) for some talking, and singing, and joint venture piano playing :).

We hope you'll enjoy it.

This one's for Fi and Mike, in ever loving memory.

Sullivan Rhoades_2021

7 o'clock in the morning with an ocean of tears
we should have been pretty, but reality mourned
shadows growing on the back of the door

Words hurled like daggers projecting fears
shredding eachother into million pieces
Scars of misunderstanding formed

A silent tension camouflaged a deadly minefield
Polluting our judgements of right and wrong
even the time feared to move along

still 7 o'clock hope fled the dreaded battlefield
we're craving for love, but affection is gone
we're stuck in this place for far too long

so what's the point of our constant fight
we got burned so many times
so much pressure, so much anger
we shouldn't be allowed
so farewell to the love we knew,
And the time has come to face our crimes
let me fade away
let me be another face in the crowd

severly damaged, i need a place to retreat
searching for silence to ease and calm down
figuring out why my mind has doubts

strong fears and worries of being incomplete
are drowning my soul in a sea of sadness
but is our love worth so many downs

finally found the strength to mend my heart's mistake
I broke the chain that kept my mind in minor
putting my scattered pieces back together

draining my sea of sadness before it's too late
having loved, but now we're done
it's okay to let go of each other

so what's the point of our constant fight
we got burned so many times
so much pressure, so much anger
we shouldn't be allowed
so farewell to the love we knew,
And the time has come to face our crimes
let me fade away
let me be another face in the crowd


Another Face In The Crowd (piano version)

Was out of my head, don't mean what I said...and I can't turn back the pages.
I know it get's real, I know how you feel..come on now, everyday changes.

Brothers and sisters, lovers and friends, and if you love them, tell them again.
So many reasons, before it's too late..and if I could, I would say

Was out of my head, don't mean what I said...and I can't turn back the pages.
I know it get's real, I know how you feel..come on now, everyday changes.

Seeds of chaos, try to dig in. Fighting the battles, you never win.
Let forgiveness rule the day..cos if I could, I would say.

Was out of my head, don't mean what I said...and I can't turn back the pages.
I know it get's real, I know how you feel..come on now, everyday changes.

Brothers and sisters, lovers and friends, and if you love them, just tell them again.

Was out of my head, don't mean what I said...and I can't turn back the pages.
I know it get's real, I know how you feel..come on now, everyday changes.

Every Day Changes

An original song by me inspired by Appalachia mountain music. Enjoy the new tune!

Away The Rain, Come Sun

Psalm 136:15-26 ESV

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever

15 but overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea,     for his steadfast love endures forever;
16 to him who led his people through the wilderness,     for his steadfast love endures forever;
17 to him who struck down great kings,     for his steadfast love endures forever;
18 and killed mighty kings,     for his steadfast love endures forever;
19 Sihon, king of the Amorites,     for his steadfast love endures forever;
20 and Og, king of Bashan,     for his steadfast love endures forever;
21 and gave their land as a heritage,     for his steadfast love endures forever;
22 a heritage to Israel his servant,     for his steadfast love endures forever.
23 It is he who remembered us in our low estate,     for his steadfast love endures forever;
24 and rescued us from our foes,     for his steadfast love endures forever;
25 he who gives food to all flesh,     for his steadfast love endures forever.
26 Give thanks to the God of heaven,     for his steadfast love endures forever.

Psalm 136:15-26 ESV

Psalm 136:15-26

This song is my first recording and one of my first attempts at writing a song.

Road Of Misery (my first recording ever)

Hi, I'm Rob.

I'm a singer, well you figured that out by yourself if you listened to my music....
I'm also Welsh, so what can I do?

I love music, so listening to all the great talent here on SoundCloud - whether it's raw or refined - is an immense pleasure. Thank you all for that.

I hope you get some joy out of listening to me.

Due to some health issues I'm not always capable to listen to your music, interact as much as I'd like to or reply to your comments in a timely manner. It doesn't alter the appreciation I feel for each and every one of you. Please bear with me.
