When you take into consideration that modern footballers have infinitely better equipment and technical assistance at their disposal, George Best's stats (not that I’m a great fan of these) show what a great player he was. I certainly never saw a player who could do what he could with a football. He was the first footballer to transcend the sports pages and become what we now term ‘a celebrity’. Today’s players are protected from the pressures he experienced but George was always surrounded by people who merely wanted to bathe in his reflected light and take advantage of his generosity. His slide into alcoholism is well documented but, had he played under today’s conditions, his life may have been totally different.

I was fortunate enough to meet him on three occasions and on one of those had the pleasure of just the two of us sitting at a table, sharing our love for football. It probably only lasted about twenty minutes but it meant the whole world to me because he seemed genuinely interested in everything I had to say. He even told me he could speak to Matt Busby and get me a trial at Man. Utd. To this day I regret not taking him up on the offer, not because I thought I was the next George Best but to have my hero offer a trial at the club I supported was something never to be forgotten.

Many years later, I reached a time when drink became my escape from everything and looking back, it scares me to remember how easy it was to become so dependent. I was very lucky to have been rescued by a wonderful woman who gave me a true reason to be. If you've never been utterly dependent on something it’s difficult to realise how much it totally controls your life and the experience certainly gave me a window into George’s world.

As far as I’m concerned, he was the greatest football player that ever lived - even the great Pele said, “George Best is a footballer without comparison”. This is why I say, "Come back Georgie!"

Hans’ brilliant arrangement and Gary’s power drumming give musical wings to my honest tribute to George and I owe them both the deepest of thanks for that. If you listen closely, you’ll be able to hear what the man himself thinks about his football career and I totally agree with every word. Many thanks for listening. (Terry Reeves)

An addendum. You all need to know just how good a footballer Tel was. I watched him play schoolboy football and he was always the best player on the pitch, leading his teams to the winning of many trophies. But for injury problems (he had his leg broken twice) he could have played professional football. I had the privilege of playing Sunday League football with him and his skills were light years ahead of everyone else. In one game, he scored with a shot from the halfway line and this was a good 15/20 years before David Beckham did it. He was special. (Gary Reeves)

Yes I drank the bottle dry
Please don't ask the question why
Just accept this drunken man
Drinking for another plan

Couldn't take things in my stride
Second place it hurt my pride
Told to take some time to think
Think I'll have another drink

CHORUS:
Yes he's the greatest, he really has it all
The king of any man who ever kicked a ball
He makes the headlines every time he shows his face
I wonder if they know our hero up in space?
If not it's just a disgrace
He's here
Georgie 
No fear

Tried to force me to retire
From the bottle I admire
Knew I'd lose out in the end
Destroying me or my best friend

Belong to no one else but me
I'm not public property
I know I have myself to blame
Life is not my favourite game

CHORUS

It's not as sad as you might think
Not looking for a missing link
And I don't need an open door 
Cause all I have to do is pour

Georgie, Georgie come back Georgie...

A Big Thank You to The Neighbor for the wonderful solo guitar


One Might See

1
Now that one has woken up
After such a long long dream
Things seem to be clearing up
And one is touched by a beam…

ref
One doesn’t want to see it
But one just cannot look away
And even doesn’t want to read and hear about it
What’s the escaping plan for today ?

2
Now the worlds are crushing into each other, 
Once they are no longer separate
One does not really want to see it 
But for that it is now far too late

A Dante-like image that is 
Captivating with one feature:
It is mainly creating pictures 
That are depicting creatures

ref
One doesn’t want to see it
But one just cannot look away
And even doesn’t want to read and hear about it no more
What’s the escaping plan for today ?
What’s the escaping plan for today ?


3
But - one won’t really get away
Realities have overtaken everything
One has lost his mouth and speech
One has lost his tongue and words to sing

One may say it is the eternal return of evil
One would like to make the order „finer“
One can say it’s an end to all the means
One might say it's the age of the borderliner

ref 
One still doesn’t want to see it
But one just cannot look away
One’s even not in the mood to write and sing about it 
What’s the escaping plan for today ?
What’s the escaping plan for today ?

out
Tell you a secret, 
There is none
It just won’t go away, 
One might say:
One cannot close one's eyes to what is taking place right in front of them today !

One Might See (ft The Neighbor)

I played this beautiful composition by Tangerine Dream in 2005 with my self made acoustic guitar.

Monolight Part 1 (Froese, Franke, Baumann)

Words and music, vocals  : Johnny Mc Farlane 
Orchestration and all musical backing: Raphael Muhr https://soundcloud.com/user-427228031?utm
Cover design and painting by Raphael. 

I want to take this opportunity to thank my good friend Raphael Muhr for the amazing backing and orchestration of this Love song and for his painting which we used for cover of the song. His playful and inspiring musical Accompaniment has added so much to this song giving it colour and dept and raising it to another musical level. I am not a trained singer as anyone who has listened to my music before will vouch for, but Raphale pushed my vocals to a new height in this song ( Probably as high as I could go to be honest ) and i want to thank him for his patience and hard work . 

About the song 
In these dark days that we are living in at the moment it is sometimes hard to believe that love exists, but yet everyday there are thousands of unselfish acts of love and human kindness towards our fellow man, woman and child by ordinary people who still hold Love in their hearts. This song is for them. Love always triumphs over hate and Evil eventually.

Love is everywhere
A shooting star lights up the sky, a weeping willow starts to cry 
As the summer breeze, blows through the trees
A rainbow fills the morning sky, a new born baby starts to cry 
As the summer breeze blows through the trees,

Chorus
The River of life is flowing everywhere and everywhere love Is there 
The river of life is flowing everywhere and ev…re….where…..love is there 


Love is there in that star at night , love shows the way love shines it s light 
For you and me to keep us free
Love is there in that baby’s cry in that rainbow that fills up the sky 
In that summer breeze blowing through the trees.

Love is there   in that rainbows end 
Love is there   when you need a friend 
Love is there in that darkest night 
Love Is there its your guiding light
when that shooting star light up the sky , when that new born bay starts to cry 
When that summer breeze blows through the trees

Love is Everywhere (Orchestration and cover painting by Raphael Muhr)

“To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there. Freedom to dissolve; to lift off; to be like the flame of a candle, which, in spite of being up against the light of a billion stars, remains intact, because it never pretended to be more than what it is: a mere candle.”
― Carlos Castaneda, Don Juan: the Sorcerer

Hard Six

A certain place I walk regularly gives me vibes,night or day. I'm never freaked out,just aware that I sense I have company,yet I'm alone.

Every time I walk here
'Tween the sea and the stone
I always get the feeling
I'm never quite alone

No one is with me
But someone,something
Feels like it's here

Footsteps behind me
'Tween the sea and the stone
After a while I turn around
But I'm still alone

No one is with me
But someone,something
Feels like it's here

'Tween the Sea and the Stone

Thanks to all who take the time.  :)

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.
