Always from you, really great guitaring/tones. The guitar intro to the vocal/harmonies then slide works beautifully. The bass is superb, both in playing and sound. Top vocals.

This song has a middle-of-the-road vibe with plenty of energy. The vocals are great as usual, with a cool hint of Roy Orbison. The electric guitar is an excellent highlight of your track, as is often the case. I can easily envision this song as a hit on AOR (album oriented rock) stations in the US from the late 70s to mid 80s. You nailed it! Great work!

great music and vocal..hard to "blend in" or find yourself following someone else,,gotta trust yourself

Your guitars are as neat as ever. I'm happy to come back and hear your songs. 👌💚

I think I'd recognize that guitar in a blind test!  Nice tune and a kick ass coda!

Absolute golden single coil tone and lush vocal layers, nice write Davy!

This track is beautifully crafted, with vocals that carry an emotional and subtle tone reminiscent of Robert Plant — whose latest album I recently had the pleasure of listening to. I truly appreciate the arrangement, the guitars sounds, the performance, and the atmosphere you have created here. The emotions are palpable throughout, and the lyrics evoke something profoundly human, open to interpretation in a way that makes them all the more powerful. A moving and heartfelt piece of music. A truly tasteful work! Best Regards 😉

Your Mix 5

6. Sky Light Grey - this is the second collaboration I’ve done with Mark Spruce (Original Spruce). These are his lyrics about a moving, spiritual encounter with a robin in an English churchyard and how it triggered thoughts of his father in law’s spirit visiting through that bird. I found it really moving. My tune and performance. Mastered by RCD Audio. 

Sky light Grey 

I’m here, I’m still here
And I will always be here 

I stood in the church yard
Cold winters day
My back to the beach tree
Sky light grey

On the branch above me
Cock robin perched 
He sang then stared intently 
I returned his gaze

He repeated his song
And looked again
I smiled and nodded
Like we were friends 

I turned so slowly
As he moved to another branch
Eyeball to eyeball 
Repeat performance 

We both stood still
Locked in our game
He moved on once more
To repeat his refrain

I turned one eighty
When he landed behind me
My smile got wider
My heart got lighter
Watching each other
I'm absorbing this experience 

Then he came closer
We had circled the tree
A mystical moment 
This bird and me

You said your father
Would return
In the spirit of a robin
Watching over us one day

As I stood in that churchyard
Lost in that moment
I felt your father 
Came back to say

I'm here, I'm still here
I will always be here

Waiting for a Sign (R.U.R.'s REMIX with SUBCRAFT)

Orchestration mix and production by ↯Mahan↯💀↯Mahan↯ @mahan-mahan
lyrics and vocal by Stonerjazz

i forgot to not think about anything at all
i really dropped the ball
never gonna make it to the hall a fame
that's a shame-
everybody ought to have a shot to show the people what you got

it doesnt matter now cause i'm old
or so i'm told
but what the hell does anybody know anyway
this is only one of infinite scenarios
everybody ought to turn the volume up on their Stereos everybody ought to turn the volume up on their Stereos

Infinite Scenarios  ~with ↯Mahan↯💀↯Mahan↯ (turn the volume up on your stereo)

Falling down

You lead a merry dance
Spin me round and round
'Til we all fall down
Falling down

And when I try to follow
I'm always falling down
My feet can't match the music
I feel like I'm a clown

Sometimes I catch your rhythm
I feel on solid ground
Then we all fall down
Falling down

You march to a different drummer
You hear a different sound
So we all fall down
Falling down

And when I try to follow
I'm always falling down
My feet can't match the music
I feel like I'm a clown

Out of Step

I hope you enjoy this feel- good old school rap/disco/EDM/ space funk  song.
From the album : "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (2025)

Lyrics:
The ghosts that live in the sidewalk cracks
We're here because of their fight
Why does the magic disappear
At a higher  Fahrenheit?
If u want a revolution
You're gonna have to work at night
I talked to our basement saytr's
They say they won't bite

Learn to dance
Do the dance
Forget the dance
Do it all over again

Whatever sets your spirits free!

Walking down the street 
Looking like discount store dynamite
A roller coaster love affair
But I was too short to ride
Temporary ecstasy
Doesn't mean the world's alright
Mad, it's the end of the party?
Take it up with the light
Yogi dispensing miracles
Blind in his 3rd eye sight
I went to New York City
She was a Brooklynite
I'm a poet with a million rhymes
I never have time to write
Watch these inner galactic moves
With my space age satellite

Take your power
Use your power
Focus your power
(Take your power, focus your power and use your power!)

Looking back
To the chicken shack
Eating greasy food
You're going to have a heart attack
Avoid the trap
You maniac
I don't buy my soul
Off the rack

Whatever sets your spirits free!

All the nasty things I said
Because I thought It was right
If you want to feel your humanity
Then help with another's plight
All the haters that destroy your joy
Tell them their full of shite
I'm the Minister of Propaganda
I keep that groove locked down tight
(locked down tight)

I'm a drunk bear
And I'm tearing up the picinic site
The history of the world's knowledge
On 1 million terrabyte
I'm the friend in the burning building saying
"It's gonna be alright,"
This is the reason I can carry on
And I never lose my appetite

Whatever sets your spirits free!

Whatever Sets Your Spirits Free

Blank 34
Is all my screen said
I’m Trying to pull lyrics
Out of my vacant head

Verses and choruses
Nowhere to be found  
Like a blind man in the dark with a blindfold at midnight
I stumble around 

The trees are looking back at me
With as much to say
Even the chickadees 
Are silent today

Silence is golden
So goes the trope
I think My creativity
Has Run off somewhere smoking dope

I could sing the alphabet 
Or count one to ten
Or Wait here impatiently 
Till I don’t know when

There’s nothing to summarize 
Or conclusion to make
I’ll sing you a slice
Of a big nothing cake

Nothing cake

New song written by David Cooper and Ron Todd.

Performed and produced by David Cooper.

Lyrics by Ron Todd:

"Summers Of Love"

Was a time back then there was me and you 
We needed no one there was just us two 
We'd drive along in my black Trans am 
We were young we didn't give a damn 

Your hair it blew in the summer winds  
We were lovers, soul mates, best of friends 
I'd tell you our love would never end
But there's always something around that bend 

Chorus

It was crazy days
It was crazy nights
It was what we had
And we did it right
I swore to you
I'd never let you go
In those balmy days 
We had our summers of love

Music break

Cos babe we used to have it all
So we kept on running like a waterfall
The mountains they always reached the sky
And all the time we never asked why

There was electricity filling the air 
We just drove around not a single care 
There was something out in the air that night 
We closed those doors and we just took flight

Chorus

Music break

End piece

But that was when we both were young 
And things can change in the years you grow 
Swore to you I would leave you never
But perfect doesn't always last forever 

Chorus

Teenage summers of love

Summers of Love (Cooper/Todd Collaboration)

song about Allen Ginsberg

soundclips from AG reading parts of  his poem Howl

Drunken Dumbshow  

Holy, holy, we're holy
This land of prayer and restraint 
Weapon born from society 
An insect stuck in the paint 
Hospital laugh with appended smile
True lust to fake the faint
A faint hope that's close to nothing at all
But it's something for the people who ain't 

Beat down, strung out, colorful, crazy
The weight of the world is love
In the end, it is enough
In the end, it has to be enough 
Broken mother, father 
Like the rest of us fallen ones
On the streets we Howl and run

Kaddish, death convention 
Now he's the King of May
The long hair of Adam
His cosmic beard at play
To ease the pain of living
The work will set you free
That was the message he breathed 
The politics of ecstasy 

Beat down, strung out, colorful, crazy
The weight of the world is love
In the end, it is enough
In the end, it has to be enough 
Broken mother, father 
Like the rest of us fallen ones
On the streets we Howl and run

Poet, pilgrim, sacrilege 
Buddhist, lover, anarchist 
5 to 1, he is on their list 
Acid-dropping dreamer, God's pharmacist 
All else is
Drunken dumbshow

ANARS ! Mensonge

        This is an old song that I wrote way back in my disco days and reworked it in 2009. It's an instrumental now. I had lyrics for it when it was called something else but I turned it into an instrumental. I played a wicked Moog on it, all instruments are me, NO A.I. I'm allergic to that A.I. crap! I just finished a video for it with some wicked dancing on it but that won't be dropped until December, just in time for Santa to get those bell bottom pants and platform shoes back on and do the Christmas Hustle!😂 I never liked Disco much back in the day but I like it now! The second song towards the end is another funky song of mine called "Sex Object", this is the instrumental version that's playing over the credits in the video. I hope everyone enjoys it, I had fun recording it! If anyone knows how to do The Funky Chicken or The Robot, well now's the time to do it!😂🥂

"DISCO DAZE!"

IT_$ YOU

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.
