Name: If Jan Akkerman Played A Telecaster by Davy Vance
Duration: 2 min 44 s
Description: In my teens I loved Focus songs such as Hocus Pocus and Sylvia,they epitomised melodic rock guitar of the era. My love affair has been with the Telecaster,so this is my ham fisted tribute to Jan and the rock instrumental.

Oh yeah, a fabulous piece of guitar work. I’m envious.

You've nailed the Focus vibe! Great work, love that Tele!

sparkling guitar tones and playing!!! great track Davy!!

Horizon 2022

the first time i saw you, i was hypnotized.
from that day i knew, had to be by your side.
the smile of salvation, looking back at me.
the face of an angel, come to set me free.

my angel

you are amazing, there's no one like you.
a heart full of love, a soul that's good and true.
even in the darkness, you shine like a guiding star.
one in a million, that's just what you are.

my angel

My angel.

Horse - w - no - Name

at the disco
goin’ all the way
with a speedball
on an empty day

i wonder if i stopped my cryin’
i wonder if i stopped now

crooked halo
all you’ve got today
your dependents
better back away

i wonder if i stopped my cryin’
i wonder who i’d be now

in the moonlight
goin’ all the way
to the river
gonna watch for day

i wonder if i stop my crying’
i wonder what i’d see now

Saturnian song - Live version video in description

Original
I first sang this about a year ago. But it was with a little bad English and bad sound, so I tried again :)
Vocals and Lyrics by me
Music made in Garageband


Lyrics:

1
They said she was a temptress
That she would seduce all men
She had a bad reputation
And not a single friend...

2
She had a perfect body
Nice make up on her face
Always so stylishly dressed
But the women called her trash...

Chorus:
She was exposed to jealousy
Was never taken seriously
She was way to pretty
In a world full of jealousy

3
All the men loved her
The way she moved and looked
But the women hated her
Was afraid their men would get hooked...

4
She tried to tone it down
The nice clothes and make up were thrown
But no matter what she did
She was still way to pretty...

Chorus x 2:
She was exposed to jealousy
Was never taken seriously
She was way to pretty
In a world full of jealousy

In a world full of jealousy...

In a world full of jealousy...

Jealousy   (Original ,Remix)

I look, feel blind, it's dark
I touch, identify, it's strange
I can take that first step to
Start a journey

I recognize your claim
Wonder if mine are same
Lines are drawn, but they're clouded

Well I'm muddled up, but you're near
Outside I'm playing cool, I'm nowhere near
And in the end we
Fall into these familiar patterns

I recognize your claim
Wonder if mine are same
Lines are drawn, but they're clouded

Your rights begin where mine end
And likewise
My rights begin when yours end

I recognize your claim
Wonder if mine are same
Lines are drawn, but they're clouded

Your rights begin where mine end
And likewise
My rights begin when yours end

This time take a trip, long distance
Beautiful expedition far off corner
Above it all we love each other
Unconditional




Clouded Lines

Finds You Well

The winter wind is whipping
Whistling its bitter tale
You’re waiting on the train platform
In a storm beyond the pale 
Our parting words were biting ones, babe
Carried over from a night gone to Hell
I cast an apology over this terrestrial void
N’hope it finds you well

I caught a leg
While I was shooting for the balls
These moments between us, babe
Are all build-ups to a fall
But that’s not all we’re about 
It’s complex, not an easy sell
As poisoned spit turns to mournful plea
I hope it finds you well

We may not have be perfect for one another
But who other than us would have the other
You came to me at my lowest point
And I matched your need for a carnal lover
We tore at each other through the night
And howled at each chime of the church bell
If you ever muse upon this memory
I hope it finds you well

Wherever you are, babe
I hope your suffering over me
I’d like to believe that I held a light
You simply could not see
I’d say I’m fine, I'm doing well
But you always read my tell
So I’ll just bid you a fond farewell, babe
N’hope it finds you well

Finds You Well

Just a simple song for the lonely. Old fashioned human music for this modern age.

Lyrics:
I'm bringing you my honest confessional
I'm dying out here, don't you know?
I've been walking the internet at night
I don't know why I always fall for the tawdry
I always fall for the pills
I fall for your sweetest thrills
I'm dribbling down here at the end of the bar
Falling in
(falling in and out)
Falling in and out of love
I'm in the valley of the lonely
Don't look into the corona eye
You know that I always lie

I could be anything you need
I could be that book that you've been working on...
A paperback. Dog eared and worn...
A book you put up on the shelf...
A book you read that changes your sense of self...
I'm in the valley of the lonely
Don't look into the coronas' eye
The valley of the lonely...

The Valley Of The Lonely

This is my first solo venture. It's an album of ten songs and it can be downloaded  from bandcamp free,or for whatever you deem it worth. I'd be happy if you just take a copy and listen to my musical ramblings. 
Thanks to all who take the time.  :)

Follow on Spotify  https://open.spotify.com/album/4BOvUv16dOl6cgcWANX1Dz
A while back I viewed s/c as merely a hosting platform for posting on forums,but then I realised there was access to so many wonderful compositions by other folk,it then became my prime source of listening to music.
This little corner of the internet is actually a thriving musical community where nobodies such as myself can share songs with the great and the good.
All that just has to be positive and welcome.
Thanks to all who listen and comment,be assured I will return the favour,as I love finding new artists. Please don't follow me if you are going to unfollow,I only wish to listen and share music,I am not a follower collector.


Songs are a mix of solo work with all instruments played by myself,plus my own world weary vocals! I tend to favour my home made Telecasters and a Strat,though the odd acoustic makes an appearance. I use Logic Pro X and am a recent convert to DAW.

I play and write for the joy of expression and always with the hope my songs may be a positive force to anyone who takes time to listen. I'm an old boy now,so I harbour no dreams of success in the conventional sense,having the odd comment is just fine for me. Thanks to all who bother.

 Also earlier songs from a project in 2015, with Fiona and Martin Magill,Vocals and keys. Martin is a very talented working keyboard player,but sadly Fiona no longer sings. Our loss.
Lastly there are tracks from late 80s/early 90s from SOS,a band I was in back then.
