Democracy (Demo 1 2017)

There’s been a lot of talking
There’s been a lot of lies
But no one’s really listening
Getting ready for a fight

But then they’ll see
That ain’t right
That the eyes of war
That cried before
Dreamed no more

So they made a system 
And it took time
Now you ain’t happy
You want it undermined

You may think you’re justified
You may think you’ve got God on your side

But where will I be
In a democracy
That’s only for you
When we disagree

If you don’t like it this way
You can try to change it
But it’s to stop a war
Do you want our children to dream no more.

I’ve been waiting here all this time
For my ideas to have their prime
In your mind it’s such a crime
Oh the bells chime so sublime

Remember if you fight
For what you think you know is right
That the mighty might well win
Is that what your faith’s in?

But where will I be
In a democracy
That’s only for you
When we disagree

If we dance it’ll be all night
A touch of peace feels so right
If we love it can be for life
But there’s no future if we fight

But for those who lost their love
They feel such pain
I’ve been loving I’ve lived a life
We know it’s wrong
To eagerly fight

It might not be what you’d agree
Is the truth a liberty?
But when they made democracy 
Our speech was set free?

But where will I be
In a democracy
That’s only for you
When we disagree

To those who had to kill
It’s was radical
To find a way
From bullets to a vote
There’s no antidote
The pain will stay

Always (Demo 2017)

I’m so sad
When you’re gone

Oh, you, you’ve been here before
Acts of love and war

In the night dark feels bright
Water’s coming high

And if you need me
Forever feel me
I’ll be by your side

I won’t go
I won’t go away
I’ll be with you always

I’m so sad
When you’re gone

Always here
Always near
In our truth

And when you need me
Reach out and find me
I’ll be there by your side

I won’t go
I won’t go away
I’ll be with you always

Can you tell the difference between human or computer made music?

Simon Mark Smith is a singer songwriter, writer, painter, digital artist and photographer, who lives in Eastbourne on the South Coast of England. He has been involved with computers and art since 1981 and is currently one of only a few people who use virtual musicians to create mainstream music. Simon is a product of our times; he is not musically trained and due to his disability cannot play musical instruments. So instead of relying on musicians to help him write songs he has harnessed technology to do so. He has learned to use a wide range of software to both create and produce songs. His latest album consists of 17 songs, 12 were produced with his virtual musicians.

Dangerous Things will be released on CD on August 1st, meanwhile it can be streamed or downloaded via the major digital distributors (Spotify, Amazon and Apple)
