Whatever the weather we regularly walk the coastal promenade between Folkestone and Hythe. Winter summer and all times in-between. It never disappoints, every time we go along the coast, the beach, the sea and sky are always offering a different experience. It’s always a time to reflect, contemplate or generally catch up with life.

When We Are Beside The Sea

Thank you so much for this JOY Yann.

'Tis moonlight, summer moonlight by Emily Bronte (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848)

'Tis moonlight, summer moonlight,
All soft and still and fair;
The solemn hour of midnight
Breathes sweet thoughts everywhere,

But most where trees are sending
Their breezy boughs on high,
Or stooping low are lending
A shelter from the sky.

And there in those wild bowers
A lovely form is laid;
Green grass and dew-steeped flowers
Wave gently round her head.

Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet who is best known for her only novel, Wuthering Heights, now considered a classic of English literature. She also published one book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne titled Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell with her own poems finding regard as poetic genius.

Let the shoes be marked by your steps, on and on. Whenever there are (as it seems) too many obstacles, you will find a way to get through. The crossing will make new marks, as a part of your adventure, reflecting you...

Shoes Delight - Keep on walking

Open the cuboard and get out your meracas! 

This is a lively little number to bring warmth to the  gloomy autumn and winter days!

unlike the first version (recorded in 2020) the introduction is missing with that fantastic Pad-style sound which was actually a sample I recorded of a jute piece of furniture, the same sample used for the song precisely called: Juta.
here the piano part, unlike the first version which was more focused on the search for harmonic contrasts, is actually performed and I had to give up many notes (which for technical reasons I am not able to perform) and I don't even know if it is really possible for someone... I have been practicing it for some time and I still do it almost every day in performance and for some time I have wanted a new recording made properly with my hands on the keyboard.
You can find the first version here, in case you want to compare the two versions:

FULL BLAST AND TOP DOWN

This is a line from a song by Van Halen, Panama, describing a spectacular vehicle. I think Van Halen's music is exactly about this, exitement, fast, bombastic, wild and extravagant, and deliberately vulgar. Much of it really belongs to the Eighties, both in composition as in sound.
In memory of Eddie Van Halen I am trying to bring this to life in this song, filled with Van Halen-isms.

I hope you can enjoy this tribute and that it will make you think of him and his joyful, loud and exuberant music.

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.
