Pictures of you: those lips and those big blue eyes
Falling asleep with a smile that can't be disguised

Boxed memories that I stored away to hide, from myself
Tracing all the dots we never placed in our time and space

Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep
Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep

Back when I was young, I may have seemed one way
But I would always fumble all the words that I tried to say
Trying to play it cool in front of you
That's all I ever really seemed to do
Trying to play it cool in front of you
That's all I ever really seemed to do


Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep
Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep

A decade and a half since we were teens
And you've still got me smiling in my sleep

Smiling in my Sleep

Retired musician .  Just writing a few simple songs about
life and growing old.  Song about my childhood on a
Louisiana delta farm.  Most songs were written and composed by me on my Boss  BR8 Digital Recording Studio.  Hope to complete my first CD soon.  I have a few cover songs also.
 

Once upon a time, far far away, two cousins Darren  and Anthony reconnected after decades of barely communicating. With one in UK and one in Oz. 20 years worth of wanting to write songs all came out at once. aarrrggghhh! We started to write a couple of songs. We would write different genres , sounds and styles of songs depending on our moods, then send them to each other, and now to you guys to.

Along the way members of the extended random nestors family have contributed on a few tunes here and there.

We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoy making them.

Please also check us out on Spotify,  I tunes, apple music, you tube and other streaming services.

Now if you don’t know me, 

My name is Rayna and I host a radio show on VOWR.ca (VOWR 800AM if you’re on the Island) It is a wonderful all volunteer Radio Station celebrating 100 YEARS on the air in 2024  We are located in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada.  

I started a new show called the “The Unsigned Radio Hour” where I give artists from SoundCloud and other venues a chance to have their songs heard on the radio. 

I love listening to, writing or playing music.  I understand what a wonderful feeling it is to share that love and passion with others.

I want let YOU SHINE!!

Sadly I’m not going to make you any money. However you will have the joy of telling all your friends “I’m going to be on the radio tonight.” 🤣

Message me if you would like to share your music.  Send me a song or two in MP3 and a little bio to share with my listeners. I will let you know when your song will be played on the air.

Audible sketches of interpretations of things

Multi-instrumentalist mostly writing original material on piano trying to blend rock and jazz.

Wallowing in the warmth of lower mids and melancholic melody.
Recorded, mixed and mastered on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio using vintage gear gathered over many years.


Take a large bucket. Add a pint of Neil Young, a pinch of Glen Hansard. Wack in a tea spoon of Damien Rice, then an ickle bit of Tom Mcrae. Shove in a hand full of Mike Scott, a heaped table spoon of Neil Finn and a large dollop of Conor J. O'Brien. Mix with a big stick then strain through an old sock. Pour. What you have is a little bit of Mr C.

Hello good people of the cloud.
I play everything in real time and record and master on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio. Although three of the older songs on here where recorded on a 8 track tape recorder through an old seck analogue desk.
No pc's are used or abused in the process of me music making. I love tactile recording. Switches, faders, pots and buttons. Mouses are for computers and eating cheese. No Mac, Daws or Windows, Midi or overused plugins. And no automated mixing, compromise being a large part of my final sound.

Hope you enjoy some of the music that I make, please feel free to share and comment.

Welcome to my SoundCloud page.  It is a joy to share with you my original songs and the music that I love.   

I invite you to check out my weekly broadcast on Radio Station VOWR in St. John’s, Newfoundland.  You will find me on the air every Monday at 6:30 pm (EST).  On my program, you will hear modern songs and old standards from a host of musical genres including Light Rock, Contemporary, Folk, Soul and Country.  

Also, my wife Rayna hosts a wonderful radio program every Monday at 3:30 pm (EST) on VOWR.  Her program is an eclectic mix of modern sounds, classic songs and deep cuts.  If you are a music lover, I highly recommend you check it out.  

If you are a songwriter with quality recordings, I encourage you visit Rayna’s SoundCloud page.  She is developing a new show at the station and she will play your music on the air if it meets the standards of VOWR.  The station cannot play anything too heavy or overly aggressive as it is a community based, family oriented station.  

Thank you to the many writers, producers and performers on SoundCloud who inspire me every day. I truly respect your creativity, musicality and dedication.

Take care and always remember to treat yourself and others with kindness, love and compassion.

Max ✌️❤️
