Excellent vocals, guitar, and overall feel. This solo works great with the rhythm.

Just had to have another couple of spins of this gorgeous song while on your cloud.......

Loving this music man... Feeling like a hug from nature

Hi Steve, just magnificent, calm like at the water's edge, a lake, peaceful and happy !

It Is What It Is

Thought I'd sneak in a little track before the year is out. I have not been very active on Soundcloud this year, will endeavour to start writing again in the new year, and listen to all the talent that is out there! 

Happy hols

p.s. Such rhythm in these lyrics, something I have always admired about this artist.

You Never Can Tell (Cover)

Living in the mountains of Oaxaca, Capulálpam de Méndez, has deeply inspired this piece. The track opens with the sounds of wind and birds, weaving you into the heart of nature's embrace. Intricate guitar melodies then take center stage, exploring themes of balance and fragility within the natural world. The music reflects on the enduring spirit of ancient civilizations, a testament to resilience, but also pays homage to the people of Capulálpam de Méndez who have become my adopted family here in Mexico. Their warmth and kindness are a constant source of inspiration. The piano serves as a roadmap for this musical journey, while the guitar takes the lead on the melody.

Viviendo en las montañas de Oaxaca, Capulálpam de Méndez, me ha inspirado profundamente esta pieza. La pista se abre con los sonidos del viento y los pájaros, entrelazándote en el corazón del abrazo de la naturaleza. Las intrincadas melodías de guitarra toman entonces el centro del escenario, explorando temas de equilibrio y fragilidad dentro del mundo natural. La música reflexiona sobre el espíritu perdurable de las civilizaciones antiguas, un testimonio de la resistencia, pero también rinde homenaje a la gente de Capulálpam de Méndez que se ha convertido en mi familia adoptiva aquí en México. Su calidez y amabilidad son una fuente constante de inspiración. El piano sirve como hoja de ruta para este viaje musical, mientras que la guitarra toma la delantera en la melodía.

Painless - feat. 2nick8

Alchemical [Fusion] is a haunting progressive rock epic that conjures the eerie specter of nuclear annihilation. The song's narrative is woven from the words of J. Robert Oppenheimer, who famously declared "I am become Death, destroyer of worlds" as he witnessed the first atomic blast. The track's haunting harmonies and driving rhythms evoke the apocalyptic consequences of nuclear war, as eerie audio clips from Harry Truman's announcement of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki eerily underscore the song's themes. Through a maelstrom of soaring guitar solos and pounding drumbeats, "Alechmical [Fusion]" probes the dark heart of humanity's most devastating creation, leaving the listener to ponder the devastating consequences of our destructive potential.

About the pages that go missing in our stories. 

VERSE 1
He dreamt a child’s dream
Of candy floss and cream 
Echoes call his name 
But no body’s there…any more 
Faces blurred away
Words he will not say… 

VERSE 2 
Sitting in the shade 
Where the oak once grew 
The leaves whisper low 
Of moments he once knew
But time it steals the light 
The dusk it falls too soon.  

CHORUS 
Pages torn away 
Words he can’t recall 
Memories that betray 
Faces far away 

VERSE 3
He holds a picture close
Its corners bent and frayed 
The faces blur with time
But their smiles have stayed
Names begin to fade, but 
The sense of warmth remains.

Piano Sonata No. 9

I am not a religious person
Happy New Year! 

Come gather round people
You won’t believe the news
The war has ended
And there is peace on earth, it's true!

The people made their stand
Arm in arm, and hand in hand
And there is freedom in our land

No more poverty and greed
No more homeless in the streets
No more leaders telling lies
No more borders to divide 

All the world has become one
And we’re righting all the wrongs
Can’t you hear the song
And angels sing above
Songs of grace, songs of love
And it gives us hope again
As they sing their sweet refrain
Throughout the land

“Peace on earth to everyone”

Peace On Earth (Christmas '24)

[Verse 1]
Mapalad at banal
Sa’yo Panginoon
Sa unang buhay
Kami’y isinama roon
Walang kapangyarihan ang kamatayang huli
Pagkat sa Iyong piling
Buhay ay walang mali
[Chorus]
Magiging saserdote Mo
Sa liwanag ng pag-ibig
Sa trono Mong dakila
Kami’y walang ligalig
Sa wakas ng daigdig
Ikaw ang aming sandigan
Mapalad at banal
Sa Iyong kamay lubusan
[Verse 2]
Ang lambong ng gabi
Ngayo’y nahawi na
Sa liwanag Mong wagas
Puso’y tumama
Sa unang pagkabuhay
Kami’y nabuhay muli
Sa puso Mong tiyak
Pag-asa’y di mapapawi
[Chorus]
Magiging saserdote Mo
Sa liwanag ng pag-ibig
Sa trono Mong dakila
Kami’y walang ligalig
Sa wakas ng daigdig
Ikaw ang aming sandigan
Mapalad at banal
Sa Iyong kamay lubusan
[Bridge]
Ang dagat ng salamin
Naglalagablab ng ningning
Ang pangalan Mong dakila
Aming awit
Aming aliw
Korona’y inilalapag
Sa paanan ng Hari
Mapalad ang buhay
Sa Langit na di mapawi
[Chorus]
Magiging saserdote Mo
Sa liwanag ng pag-ibig
Sa trono Mong dakila
Kami’y walang ligalig
Sa wakas ng daigdig
Ikaw ang aming sandigan
Mapalad at banal
Sa Iyong kamay lubusan

Mapalad at Banal

"If God is One" is a heartfelt pop ballad that questions division and calls for unity across all faiths. With emotional depth and lyrical clarity, it reminds us that love, not fear, is the foundation of every belief. A song of peace, light, and shared humanity.

If God is one

I like Soundcloud because it's a friendly community for sharing our music. When I like your music, I say how it affected me, maybe something about how you wrote, performed or produced it. I have musically diverse interests: pop/rock songs, jazz-rock fusion/prog instrumentals; acoustic guitar. Main instrument is guitar, I'm not a keyboard player or singer, but hopefully I can do enough there to make my work sound ok.
