A song for friends that we love and we know will need to move on. We'll always be here, regardless of where they go. 

This is dedicated for Adina. She was my good friend's good friend. She left a bright trail in the lives of many people.  

So Close, So Far,

Just to see you and my heart smiles.
To be with you and while you talk to me,
I'm watching, drinking you in.
A deep draft of you and I'm still thirsty.

Just to see you lifts my heart.
To be with you and feel a part,
of this moment of beauty.
And I'm watching, something precious
All these riches before me and I'm still greedy

To see you, to hear you, that's how life should be.
To love you and be with you where else would I be?

Yet each time we meet, I'm scared its the last.
Your perfect glaze shows the faults in my cast.

To see you now and I'm amazed.
Your dreams awake, you've flown away,
To a place where your happy.
And I'm watching, you fly high.
Waiting for the day you'll say goodbye,
Scared and waiting for the day you'll say goodbye.

So Close, So Far (Something Memorable)

Just found out many of my tracks have been copied from Soundcloud and placed on various sites under false name's and monetized one being under the name Matin Cold Sound - Soundcloud appears notto be able to stop this and removed my song when I reposted it even though the original is still on my list and their algorithm didn't flag this. Beware...

It's a home-spun kind of sound.    Enjoy your dream . Stevek

Music maker & sound designer. I make my own music as well as put my own twist on video-game tunes. I one day aspire to be a video-game music artist.  I take my limitations and roll with it!

If my tracks put a smile on your face or a boogie in your step, then my work is worth it! :)

Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to listen, like and share my noises. I am extremely grateful. My apologies if I take a little while to respond to those that leave nice comments.

I like listening to music, making simple, tunes when I have time, and generally faffing about in an inefficient manner. Hopefully you might like something on offer here. 

I use a Hinkler Cigar Box guitar (about $30 from Aldi, great fun), a Flying V ukulele, a couple of old keyboards, other bits and bobs, and a Yamaha tenor saxophone.

No AI is used to generate sounds whilst journeying on these cacophonic adventures.

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark

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
