Wonderful , wonderful , wonderful ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩🤩

Great to hear that you chaps have collaborated.  Davy, I've always loved your melodic voice and guitar playing. Paul, you're a masterful songwriter. Good luck fellas!n

Oh! This is wonderful. Got a Brit-rock feel to it.

Such a strong melody ……… love your cover Davy - lovely vocals and a classy arrangement :)

That is a great song - your voice is so individual - like a Roy Orbison - like those REMish strums too

excellent cover, really enjoying your vocals and your arrangement, quality song production!

Your light touch, indeed, allows this song to shine, Davy.  Fine, moving performance

This track has been a labor of love, and I'm so excited to finally share it with you all. It's a fun, upbeat tune that I hope will get you moving and grooving. 💃🕺
"Lost In The Melody" is all about getting swept up in the music and letting go. I had a blast creating it and I really hope you enjoy listening to it just as much.
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who's supported me on this musical journey. Your encouragement means the world to me. 💛
So give it a listen when you have a moment, and let me know what you think! I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks again, and I hope this tune brings a smile to your face and some rhythm to your day! 🌈🎶

Lost In The Melody

Two years ago me and my son went to the beautiful city of Lisbon. I do hope I get to go there soon again and enjoy the lovely atmosphere, people, music, food, narrow streets and beautiful buildings.

Yesterday I started my small tribute to the lovely city, I finished it today and hope you will enjoy the listen.

Lisboa

written by Netta&Mcgill.   Cheers for having a listen

when it’s one of those days and it’s raining hard
can’t do anything right
to late to get down on my knees and beg
ask for your forgiveness tonight

you said that your love was free
wouldn’t cost me a dime
but there was always gonna be a price to pay
and now i’m just doing time

so i get up in the morning
eyes down walking the line
one day i was free, free as a bird
the next, i’m doing time

when the sentence is harsh, the days are long
you get lost inside your own mind
like our love, it’s become my own prison cell
and now i’m just doing time

it so happens to be that you mean much to me
to say otherwise would be a plain lie
and through it all my dear it’s become crystal clear
and it feels like i been doing time

so i get up in the morning
eyes down walking the line
one day i was free, free as a bird
the next, i’m doing time
yesterday i was free, free as a bird
and today, i’m doing time

Doing Time

Here's another easy, dirty, old strum refreshed somehow in these hot summer days. This used to be a song, but the years have taken the words away and only the initial chords remain in my memory and maybe that of some old friends.

Picture is from Pietro Corrao.

It continues to be SO amazing to me how warm the reception has been for this song. It certainly makes the hours it took to record it, worthwhile. 

The final mix was done by the great John Fields and then mastered by the  talented Greg Reierson at Rareform Mastering. I always want to mention my friend Frank M. who without his loyalty, these mixes wouldn't have been possible. I'll talk more about this on my website when it's done.

Grant Fisher recorded and played electric guitar, Randy Tico recorded and played bass, and Dennis Caplinger recorded and play acoustic guitar. The rest of it I did. I am super proud of this track and I was so lucky to have these awesome musicians play on it.

Lyrics:
In a room that you call your own     
Every day like the one before
What you left it was never home     
And the people now are gone

All your life in a twelve by ten     
And your dreams mostly in your head
Where's the love well it came and went     
And it's been away too long

This isn't where you thought you'd be     
Alone every night with your tv
A bottle of wine won't help     
What's missing in your life

I see the writing on the wall   
Do you think it's over?
I hear what you won't say    
What's always on your mind
Don't tell me you can't ever change     
'Cause I've seen you hopeful
Tell me you will think      
Of all that you can try

Ladada da da da da da ...     
       
In a room where it all began     
With your life there in plastic bags
You give up what you never had     
Cause everything has changed

All the years they get by somehow  
And the hope where you once were proud
Of the plans they were so profound     
But were humbled by the game

I see the writing on the wall    
Cause you think it's over
I know what's goin on    
When you say you're alright
You tell me you can't start again  
Nothin's left to hope for
I say that's not true     
There's so much you can try
If only you can try     
There's so much you can try

When you look out every morning in your life
Look ahead and not behind
You never know what tomorrow brings you

This isn't where I thought you'd stay
I'm down on my knees and now I pray
Cause what you're about to do  
There'll be no turning back
No  'cause I think it's over  

I saw the writing on the wall    
But I couldn't stop you
You said that you'd hold on    
And now I say goodbye

When I think I'm out of hope  
Nothin's left to live for
I can hear you say      
It's gonna be alright
If only you can try     
YEAH YEAH  if only you can try
If only you can try      
You can try, you can try

Ladada da da da da da ...

You Can Try

Cast of characters:
Ross Smithe -- @ross-smithe – foundational piano, synth, arrangement, lead vocals, first vocal harmony, and production.
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- electric piano, drums, and high vocal harmony
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– mastering
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four-string fretless bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, lowest harmony in the vocal break, and mix

This grateful Dead song has been a favorite of Josh's for most of his life. So, when he and Ross were tossing around ideas for a Dead song to cover, they landed on this one. Ross, being the superb musician that he is, laid down a skeleton for the whole song on his piano, and added his vocals, as well as some synth that you hear at the very beginning. 
  Once we had a solid foundation to work from, Ken added his raucous main drums. Then, to get the effect of two drummers, like the Dead, JJ added some simpler drums, too. Once the drums were there, Josh added his four string fretless bass to the stew. Now that the rhythm section was done, JJ added his Brent-like electric piano, sprinkling magic throughout. Then is was time for Josh to go to work with the 6-strings. First, he added a rhythm guitar, trying to do justice to Bob Weir. Once that was completed, Josh also got to lay down Jerry's lead part, which he enjoyed immensely.
  After the music was complete, JJ added his high harmony throughout the song. Josh also added the lowest harmony in the a cappella vocal break. Since all the pieces were now in place, it was time for a mix. Ross generously did a preliminary mix, including some automation. However, the main mix was done by Josh on this one, in a rare show of his mixing vision. However, we did ask Stephen to master the whole thing for us, too, which he did expertly. 
  Our real goal with this one was to have a song we could show our deadhead friends with pride. We hope we did the Dead, their fans, and their music a service by keeping their amazing music alive. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 
  Please remember to share it, if you dig it!

I'm not doing any music these days,so I thought I'd post one I did years ago. It's a cover of a Paul Ads song I've always loved.

Paul Adamson is a damn fine songwriter and I hardly ever record covers of other folk's work,but this one resonated deeply with me and still does after repeated listens.
I didn't lean too heavy on the production on this,because I wanted to allow the song to shine. I hope you enjoy and bring a few listens to Paul's cloud.

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.
