Floating into Wonder

Now that the border’s open - she’s on the overnighter
Up near the universe so vivid as it’s shining brighter
So long in isolation – We living on our phones
But what a torture that is - needing flesh n bone

And I’m waiting near the runway’s end
Watching descending lights 
And that final roar overhead – hey I’m lifted so high

And we’ll be floating into wonder (mm mm mm)
Gifted this new path
Cause she is out the other side of it (now we can be)
Floating into wonder

This kiss is never ending - senses remember her
Flooding skin in waves - how to find the words?
We walking tied together – in love with baggage claim
In love with everybody – and I just say her name

And how we’ll sing - and the car will sing
As I bring this girl back home
And all who love her wait in clover at the end of the golden road 

And we’ll be floating into wonder . . .

Yeah I’m chosen one tonight ‘cause I got my lady home

FLOATING INTO WONDER

Bit of a mixed bag of styles and genres…
consistently amateur and homemade though… and just for the fun of it!

Half the songs here are just me noodling away on my own… (using garageband on my ipad, headphones, and a couple of cheap old guitars).

…the other half are recorded during very occasional jam sessions with some lovely talented old friends, who bring my song ideas to life, spontaneously, usually one-take, having never heard them before.

hope you enjoy a song or two,

Kelvin

(by the way, I know I'm really not any good at mixing, mastering, production etc... I don't have any equipment or knowhow! ... so I think all these tunes will sound better on headphones 👍 cheers)

Some stuff spilling over into https://soundcloud.com/kelvin-and-friends-2

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs. 
Recently I have had the urge to pick up my guitars (Taylor 114ce and Fender Squire) and I have been trying to use more guitar in my songs.  
My go to .vst plug ins are  EZkeys 2, EZ Bass and  EZ drummer 3) and my DAW is Logic Pro 11. 
I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud. 
All songs are originals and copyrighted.

Scotty. (almost) everywhere. Hasty home recordings in between realities while the children are (sometimes) quiet or at their mom's.

Songs from the edge of somewhere.
You don’t know if you’re walking into a protest, a party, or a funeral.
Bluesy, soulful rock’n’roll.
Haunted, deep and raw. 
The kind of raw you can’t fake.

“You don’t sound like anyone else,” said Danny Thompson - legendary bassist for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English producer Conil.

Tchad Blake, sonic architect for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, agreed: “Strange Part of the Country is an amazing album. I still listen to it.”

Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green was also a fan, making a rare visit to Conil’s studio to record a mellow take on “Woke Up Around Midnight,” his smoky tribute to the jazz greats.

Conil’s distinct sound has drawn praise from Marc Ribot, Davey Graham, Pino Palladino, and John Leckie - artists and producers known for recognising the real thing when they hear it.

Upon release, Strange Part of the Country made quiet but lasting waves. Q Magazine gave it four stars and a Q Recommends stamp. Blues Matters Magazine put Conil on the cover, calling him “one of the most original artists out there.” In the U.S., “Years Between” climbed to number three on the Alternative Radio Chart.

Raised in England on the Rolling Stones, the Velvet Underground, and Tom Waits, Conil later lived in some of the world’s most musically charged cities - New Orleans, New York, Chicago, Austin and Berlin - chasing sound wherever he went.

That began early. He travelled far, met the Dalai Lama, climbed Kilimanjaro, and crossed the Himalayas - experiences that shaped his perspective and his music.

He is now finishing his long-awaited second album - recorded in New Orleans, Chicago, London and Greece - with Danny Thompson, Tchad Blake and more.

Playing live and writing & recording in Nelson New Zealand - began recording in 2004 once technology was available to make CDs using industry standard equipment at home. Radio airplay on Fresh FM and the TLC network from 2005. The track IS THIS WHO I THINK IT IS was a finalist in the 2009 NZ MLT songwriting contest.  In Dec 2012  DUNEDIN SOUND reached  no. 26 on NZ on Air "The Audience" chart.

Singer-Songwriter

I have played in a few bands, but prefer to do my own thing. My lyrics reflect my views on existence and Spiritualism. The environment is also a recurring theme.
   Thanks for playing a couple of my tracks. Cheers for any likes and comments, which are much appreciated.
