A playlist full of tracks created by the writers, musicians and producers of our music community, "The MusiCollective" - this is the April 2025 edition, featuring a few fresh tunes and a couple of hits from past April playlists!

A huge congratulations to everyone involved in this. We have a mix of complete recording newbies, seasoned pros and everything in between. All as incredible as each other.

The MusiCollective is a community of people that get behind each others' projects, for example by helping with songwriting, arrangements, recording and production. It is a continuation of TGS Records (@tgs-records) which started as a lockdown project and has been snowballing new members in ever since.

I'm Thinking of Us

I’m thinking of kmart 
in the middle of summer
I’m thinking of long drives 
With you and our mother 
					
I’m thinking of nights when 
we only had each other
I’m thinking of you

And without you
What would I do  
There is no substitute
I love you through and through 

I’m thinking of dancing
In the car where everyone can see
I’m thinking of how much 
You look just like me 

I’m thinking of how our love is 
how we will get free
I’m thinking of you 

And oh I know that there’s been 
pain to share
And the glue the binds us isn’t always fair
But what a pair we are 

And without you
What would I do  
There is no substitute
I love you through and through

I’m thinking of diners
And a split milk shake
I’m thinking of colors 
on the cookies we bake

I’m thinking there’s never been 
less of a mistake
Or more love 
I’m thinking of us

I'm Thinking of Us (demo)

2043. No one in the Street. Plug in to the stream. Live inside the screen. 

Day by day. Living to Pay. Im gonna fade to grey. 
Led astray. Or is it the way? I'll board their one-way train. 

No Matter, Earth Shatters, Long After, Time and again. 
I'll roll like the western wind. I'll blow like the western wind.

Western Drive

Western Wind

Always a sunny day, 
I just can't concentrate, 
Is this the day we both changed?
  So much to throw away, 
  A change is on its way,
  Always a sunny day.
      Another rare display, 
      You tell me that's OK, 
      Is this the way it will stay?
The same as yesterday,
Always a sunny day.

Could be any day, 
Same thing again,
How could we know?
Changing today.

You're asking me when to breathe,
I'm asking you what to do.
Changing today.

You've stumbled on a stone, 
Don't tell me you're alone, 
There's something in my eyes but I cannot disguise it.
Moving at a snail pace, 
Always in the same place
Have to take a chance with the same old circumstances.

Look back and say,
A little each day,
Something will grow,
And slowly decay.

You're asking me for space to breathe,
I'm asking you to give me room,
Slowly decay.

Not just a place that we own when we're all grown and unknown,
Watching the water get tasteless and overgrown.
Used to fly like a moth to the fire for hire,
But time and time again makes you lose the desire.

Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day,
Always a sunny day…


Always A Sunny Day

Burning
She dreamed of us
She dreamed of this world
In peace and trust
And a trace of childlike mindlessness
For she was not very old
When she thought of us
Her children
Whom she raised in love
And we grew enough
Enough to make her mothers heart so proud
And she felt love
Only to be raped and tortured by her own seed.

If I had a wish for free,
What would it be?
Would I wish for her
Or wish for me?
While we tell ourselves 
What good we are
We keep on telling ourselves 
The way we are

This world is burning alive
While we do not see
This world is burning alive
While we fall asleep

While we tell ourselves on and on 
That we will make up for it again 
Bound by the chain of suffering
She waits for the dawning of mental growing
The abuse feels like home by now
The abuse feels like home, like home

This world is burning alive
While we do not see
This world is burning alive
While we fall asleep

Let her flames devour the indifferent ones
May at least this be granted
She would had OD´ed long ago
But she wasn´t able to
She felt love for love for us
She felt love for love for us
She felt love for love for us
She felt love for love for us
Unable to hate
She didn't even know that there was hate
And rape and war
She never needed all of that

Embrace the Storm (2025) – Facing new beginnings
Embrace the Storm is a powerful symphonic metal song about facing changes. Driven by heavy riffs, soaring choirs and operatic vocals, this song captures the raw chaos of transformation like staring into the heart of a storm, a sense of something breaking apart to make way for something new. Are you ready to cast off the weight of the past and give yourself into the storm?

You can find this song on all streaming portals and Bandcamp:

Embrace the Storm

Embrace the Storm (feat. Nadia Selvaggi)

Debbie wrote this slow building song from the point of view of a woman at a party who notices her partner walking into another room.  She follows and sees him talking to another woman, therein lies her insecurity.  The tune builds while, on reflection, she realises that they are secure together and she is “the best you ever had”.

Lockdown

This is a revamp of a song i released a few years ago. I have added a few extra pieces to enhance the song.  It seems more relevant today than ever before. The world is full of Narcissist's this is for them and please ...do sing  along...I suppose the message in the song is very simple ..
When everything in your life is falling apart, its never your fault , its always someone else's because you are so much smarter, funnier, better that everybody else, they just cant see it. ha ha ha 
" It's always someone else's Fault " 
Written, recorded and produced by 
John Mc Farlane
