Tony King
1972-2025
For many years Tony ran the Chambers open mic night in Folkestone Kent. He was a top bloke, kind and supportive to each and every performer. As an example, the audio at the end of this track is taken from a video of me having just finished playing one of my songs. You can hear, at the time I couldnt as I was at the other side of the room, how encouraging Tony was, always complimentary. Tony loved life, was a happy chappie and kept himself extremely fit. He swam the channel, the sea from England to France some 21 miles on more than one occasion. Guess this proves we never know what life has in store for us even if we look after our health. Tony will be deeply missed not only by his loving family but those of us that got to know him through his wonderful open mic nights.  

Lyrics.
say goodbye to a kind hearted man
i didnt know him well but it was easy to tell.
a warm smile and grin youd be welcomed on in
to his music show a gentle hand to guide you on through

theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to get taken hearts left aching
theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to be taken hearts left breaking...in two.

say farewell to a father a father and a friend
he swam 21 miles thought what the hell ill do it again.
these things are damn hard to understand
but you have to try to recall the joyus of times.

theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to get taken hearts left aching
theres no rythme or reason to soon to be leaving
so young to be taken hearts left breaking...in two.

theres no rythme or reason

Rhyme or Reason

Lyrics:

(verse1)
Rich in lifestyle, born to run wild.
Hellbound nation, choose right wiseguy.
Societie’s fabric, built on pure lies.
Stick to the boundaries, live and let die.
Was it all planned from beginning?
A race for land and food, the greed unending
Forgive me if I’m rude, but stop pretending.
You won’t want one side to lose if you were on the other 
The pull the push, so strong, get in line follow your leader
that’s magnetic, that’s magnetic

(Chorus)
I’m the solution to the mystery that cannot be solved.
A dream, a hope, a pray, I’ve seen evolve 
From what’s the answer to the problem 
to the problem being solved
The mystery has a magnetic need, for an answer to be solved
The mystery has a magnetic need, for an answer to be solved
Love is still the answer, love is still the answer

(Verse2)
The magnetic pull, Music has on my soul.
Vibrations of energy, sparks of sequence inside of me.
The essence of it all, is like a freefall
Music pull me from within, is all that I recall.
I don’t question destiny, was written inside of me
It’s not hidden,  so all can see,
Things are as they should be
Things are as they should be
that’s magnetic, that’s magnetic

(Chorus)
I’m the solution to the mystery that cannot be solved.
A dream, a hope, a pray, I’ve seen evolve
From what’s the answer to the problem 
to the problem being solved
The mystery has a magnetic need, for an answer to be solved
Love is still the answer, love is still the answer [echo]
(verse1)
(Chorus)

Foreigner's Double Vision .. 2nd Album..What was I thinking?.... Got me banned for life from Towers Department Store in St. Catharines way back in 1978.
Luckily I mended my ways but I carry this burden around and generally avoid listening to Classic Rock Radio as I am triggered by this song and that other one ... Hot-blooded ...check it n see...
Apologies to Mick Jones and Lou Gramm for stealing their music and rewriting their song to sing my truth....
opening clips from The Myth of Shoplifting film 1964
end clip from the movie High Fidelity

Shoplifting (The Double Vision  Foreigner Cassette Tape)

Feeling down and dirty, no financial means
So I shoved that cassette tape down my crisp blue jeans
Slinking down the aisle, bulge between my thighs
The abandoned eighth commandment
I was such a foolish child

Yes I stole from Towers
Foreigner's Double Vision
No surprise
They threatened me with prison
Ooooh, the floor walker grabbed a hold of me
Hot-blooded, tone-deaf to apology
My one-way ticket to delinquency 

Just a grubby little juvie back in ‘78
Big brother disappointed in my musical taste 
He said, “ You could have stolen Zevon, maybe Marley or some PiL,
Now you're banned for life from Towers for that boring AM swill"

I kleptified, for that Double Vision
My Mom mortified at my bad decision 
Oooh, the police want to take a drive with me
Backseat of shame, the neighbors’ eyes on me
That Double Vision shopping lesson got the best of me
They arrested me 

Oooh Double Vision
A Foreigner filch
That brought me such derision 
Oooh Double Vision
Grounded and hounded
Parental supervision 
Oooh full frontal implant
The struggle to smuggle
Cassette tape covertly in pants
Oooh that cardinal sin
Shoplifting and grifting
My Fruit of the Loom I slipped it in

THIS KIND OF LOVE

This is the quiet version of the song. It's about those conversations you have in your head, that you never say out loud. Sometimes they are about other people, and sometimes they are about yourself. Sometimes they make sense, and sometimes they don't. Others make you laugh, and others make you cry. But they are all you, and it's OK to have them. Wherever they take you, please try to remember that you are loved and important to someone <3

I made two versions, depending on the mood that you are feeling. Sometimes we need to some nice quiet acoustic guitar :D

Didn't
If it didn’t matter then
Why did you let go slow
Maybe you don’t mean it
And you want me to
Let you know

If it didn’t matter
Then why did you
Burn those letters
That I wrote for you
But I would too
Because they were
Long and boring
To tell the truth

If it didn’t matter then
Why did you say I’d better
Be taking good care of them
Of course I would be, I’m a jerk
Not a monster and those cats
Are my daughter’s
And I love how they got her
And they’ll always sleep on me

If it didn’t matter then
Why did you say she’s better
Off without me
But you never said that
but I did… to myself…

I did it again
It’s just something I do
But it’s not who I am
I’m a man, not a monster
And those cats are my daughters
And I love how they got her
And they love me to bother
And eat all of my pizza
And they’ll always sleep on me

If it didn’t matter then
Why did you
Say the weather reminded
Of you of that one day
When we stopped the car
because the rain

Didn't (quiet)

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.
