Mistakes And All - The Brass REDUX By TheGat(s)

My instrumental rendition of nearly everybody's favorite Gospel hymn. I know all too well where I myself would be without that Grace!

Amazing Grace

Goodbye Blue Monday

Here is my isolated guitar solo track with full orchestra for my title track "The Wheel."
The Wheel is a concept song spanning over 20 minutes long, which I wrote in 2017/2018 and recorded in 2019. I uploaded it to my SoundCloud back in early 2020. Here are the last 4 minutes of the song. The song itself is a finale to an album idea that I had, and this guitar solo acts as the grand finale movement. The Wheel was written, recorded and arranged by Louis Taverna

I thought it was time to start writing and recording some new songs, with a view to putting together a new solo album over the winter. For this song I have returned to my nylon string Morris guitar. Hope you like it!
LYRICS:
Sitting…. In my rocking chair
Rollin…….. with the beat
Pickin …..out a tune
Keeping time… tapping my feet

Maybe I’m getting old 
Maybe I’m getting slow 
Maybe things don’t seem like they used to do
Maybe, maybe not…. I don’t know 

Sitting….. in my rocking chair 
Close my eyes and see
All the places I have been
Just rollin … with the beat

Maybe I’m getting old 
Maybe I’m getting slow 
Maybe things don’t seem like they used to do
Maybe, maybe not…. I don’t know

My Rocking Chair

When somethings on your mind, it tends to leak out. Of course that's a good start then you sit back and let the lyric take you.

A track about belonging and longing for the new, about caring for what you have and what you might get. A song of imbalance. Not the Irish singing about wishing they were home, but a song about finding yourself home and knowing there is no leaving. I hope you enjoy.

There is maybe space for a harmonica track in here... if anyone is up for it.. :)

BENEATH THE CLOUDS

I always thought that I knew how to love.
But time has taught just how wrong I was.

Standing here where each day is the same.
Hiding in words but caught by the absence of your name.
Like the mountains caught the wind and sent it
to blow your letters free,
Sweep them all away down to 
the indifference of the sea.

Standing here with my feet planted home.
I try to stay away but this land is in my bones.
Where my my prison is a vision of 
this land beneath the clouds
Try to escape and find
Your heart will not allow

And if I leave I know I won't shed these regrets
for the nights have shown that dreams do not forget.

Standing here where all time stands still
Nothing but waiting, waiting here until
We can all rise together and leave this earthly place.
And maybe then I'll get to say I'm sorry to your face.

I always thought I knew how to love,
But time has taught just how wrong I was.
And I was wrong.

Something Memorable is Sean Doran's SoundCloud Name. 

Hi there. Go on.. push a play button and re-post something....while you read....

I've been on Soundcloud since Dec 2011 and it still amazes me how this community has helped me to improve my music and continue to write and play. It's the balance between the making music and the listening to the inspiration that the rest of you create, that makes it work. Thank you for sharing and thank you for listening.

I'm song writer and singer, continuing to learn and play, create and expand my capabilities. I'm very happy to write and record with others here on Soundcloud, I've enjoyed the collaborations that I've been involved with and they are where I learn the most. So, if you want a lyric or a vocal or fancy trying to collaborate on a complete track please let me know. 

My songs tend to be lyrics driven and my lyrics tend to come from ideas hinted at by words or phrases I hear or read. Once I'm writing I tend to start off in one direction and soon find the lyrics choosing their own. No matter how hard I push towards that pop, chirpy track.... I tend to come back something a little slower. Through I've been experimenting more lately. 

I truly believe everyone can write and should give it a go and so I'm happy to work with anyone.

I'm currently recording a combination of N2 pencil mics for acoustic guitar and a Aston Original mike for vocal. I have an M-Audio interface to my Mac and Logic X.

Born in Belfast, N. Ireland, but currently living and working from (Malaysia, India, Netherlands)North Norfolk in the UK.

I hope you'll like some of what you hear and that you'll leave a comment. Even if you don't like it, I'd love to hear why and what would make you listen again. Your comments make me better. 

शुभ कामनाएँ

Sean
