Nice string arrangements on this and I like that ticking tempo. Vocal melodies spot on as always. Now you have retired I think a songwriting workshop should be your next job ! You make it sound easy 👍

Well I think you would have to join me. I dont know anyone who writes as many amazing tracks as you. I have just been listening to your recent stuff. I only have to go on holiday and you seem to have an albums worth. ❤️

Oh, that's a very different style of music to what I know from you. The sound in the mix is great and the song is very catchy. Bravo, Steven! 👏💫

Again, you knock out a great little tune!

Silently Dreaming

All The Crazy Things

I wrote this song back in 2018 timeframe. I had a moment of realization from broken relationships. I felt tangled and pulled in so many different directions. The past has such an impact. Sharing these types of songs isn't the easiest, but it's part of my life, and how I felt. I recently changed a single lyric in this song which is why I wanted to do another take, and honestly I was really feeling this song tonight. Recorded live on my old baldwin. This is my only song where I do a piano crossover. Maybe I'll have another in a song one day.  I hope you can take something from this song. Thank you for listening! It truly means a lot!

Evaporating 

Looking at a love right down the hall
Scared to death to take the fall
It's something that I've always wanted in life
But the past is such a knife

Cutting so deep cutting so deep
Beautiful things I can never keep

I try and tell myself that this time will be different
Possessing a love that would be so consistent
But I'm wrong I'm not that strong

Watching our future crash to the ground
In my heart is the loudest sound
Scattered everywhere the pieces melting bright
Evaporating slow in the night

Cutting so deep cutting so deep
Beautiful things I can never keep
Beautiful things I can never keep

I've dreamed a lot of dreams of our shadows on the pavement
Expressing a love that would be so transparent
It's a dream always a dream

Looking at a love in a worn out sky
Feeling numb I wish I could cry
It's something I've adapted to in this life
Oh the past is such a knife

Cutting so deep cutting so deep
Beautiful things I can never keep
Beautiful things...I can never keep

Oooo Oooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooo

Evaporating (Original song live)

01 DONT FADE ME OUT MASTER 2024

I made this track on my old electronic piano - programmed rhythm: Acid Jazz. I experimented by here and there making a part double of the recorded rhythm and change the pitch of the drum... in that double.

As usual i used effects on my voice and layered ...(sorry i can't help doing that haha).

Very simple lyrics,  but bottom line: we are living so fast that we don't notice it's going bad with the people around us, or even with ourselves.... 
We ask polite: "Are you OK?" but never want to hear "it's not OK?"
In this sick society we can have an important role to play to make a difference for someone.

Lyrics 
Not OK...


Are you OK

Nobody will know, nobody will see
You're not OK

NO Way
Did you notice, she is
Did you notice that she's not
She's not OK

Not OK...

Sans un bruit, ce matin,
une rose est éclose.
Perdue en ce jardin
où mon coeur agonise.
Au milieu de hautes herbes,
c'est elle survivante.
Soudain dans l'air vibrant,
mes souvenirs voltigent.
Dans la chaude lumière,
de cette beauté naissante;
perdues dans ma mémoire,
de sinistres images...
Sans un bruit ce matin,
mon coeur s'est lavé.
Perdu en ce jardin,
dans la chaude lumière.
Au milieu de mes souvenirs
qui voltigent.
Des hautes herbes
et d'un été naissant.
C'est ma joie survivante,
sur la brande, ce matin.
Aux vies agonisantes,
à la beauté naissante.
Aux images oubliées,
soudain, dans l'air vibrant.

Brande
Without a sound, this morning,
a rose bloomed.
Lost in this garden
where my heart agonizes.
In the midst of tall grasses,
is the surviving rose.
Suddenly, in the vibrant air,
my memories flutter.
In the warm light,
of this emerging beauty;
lost in my memory,
of sinister images...
Without a sound this morning,
my heart washed.
Lost in this garden,
in the warm light.
In the midst of my fluttering memories
.
Tall grasses
and a budding summer.
This is my surviving joy,
on the heather this morning.
To dying lives,
to emerging beauty.
To forgotten images,
suddenly, in the vibrant air.

Un peu de poésie pour mes amis musiciens et musiciennes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAZpfC6K4p8

[Verse] 
Je marche au bord d'un rêve oublié 
Le vent murmure des mots enchantés 
Les étoiles brillent mais je suis perdu 
Un chemin flou dans l'inconnu 
[Verse 2] 
Sous la lune je cherche une lumière 
Un écho doux d'un amour sincère 
Les feuilles dansent au son du passé 
Chaque pas me fait vibrer 
[Chorus] 
Mon âme danse au rythme du silence 
Chaque note porte mon espérance 
Les ombres jouent une mélodie 
Dans ce chaos je trouve ma vie 
[Bridge] 
Un saxophone pleure dans la nuit 
Un cor résonne et apaise l'ennui 
Les cordes vibrantes comme un cœur battant 
Tout s'accorde dans ce doux instant 
[Verse 3] 
Le clavier chante une histoire d'hier 
La harpe tisse des rêves éphémères 
Les tambours grondent comme des secrets 
Et mon âme s'envole en liberté 
[Chorus] 
Mon âme danse au rythme du silence 
Chaque note porte mon espérance 
Les ombres jouent une mélodie 
Dans ce chaos je trouve ma vie

Un rêve oublié

Apples🍎🍏

Apples from your hometown 
Harvest seeds you’ve thrown down 
Suffered ..have you, clown?
Water all the way down
Rough around the edges
Spied in through the hedges
He watched me in the playground
Back then he made no sound 
He found me in the bleachers
Oooh.
I found him in the bleachers
I was taught by all his teachers
I ran it by all the preachers 
Back then he made no sound
I found him in the bleachers
I played his game, I scored a touchdown

Love them or hate them, believe me or believe me not. Say what you think of this band who are like Marmite to many but gods to many more.
This certain band of late as reformed and caused hysteria in Great Britain with tickets selling out in hours with expectations, excitement and a need to see them live after 16 years. 
A songwriter that draws on his record collection to write incredible sing along anthems and a front man with attitude that’s pure rock n roll. 
Yes we are talking about Oasis!
My kids are in  their late 20s and a part of the GenZ generation and we’re only just born in the Britpop boom and me I was fronting my own band playing that style of music at that time.
The GenZ  age group don’t talk about The Beatles as the holy grail as many of my generation did. 
Their bands now are Oasis, Blur, The Verve,  Stone Roses etc. And like us with The Beatles we were too young to actually see them in their hay day. 
The GenZ generation have claimed Oasis for them for themselves and I think that is fantastic. My sons and his friends are idolising men who are the same age as their fathers. It’s funny but also weird that they don’t see their age they only see them as cool  with amazing  music.
I’ve seen all the bands they love and Oasis even played at a music venue in Birmingham called The Jug Of Ale that I played at. Oasis were supporting a local Birmingham band in 1994 to around 30 people. 
Ive watched the footage so far of Cardiff, Manchester & London and to be fair they sound fantastic in their 50s better than when I saw them in the the hay day of the 90s.
This song is just an expression of how a bunch of kids from a council estate who sat at the back of the class and are now in their fifty’s can make such an lasting effect on generations to come. 
This is just how me and maybe you got inspired when we were young to wanna be in a band. I definitely know I was a kid from the back of the class with hopes and dreams of being a rock star. 
Let’s hope by Inspiring the kids to pick up guitars and bring back real music that AI doesn’t take over the music industry like a recent AI band The Velvet Sundown!  
All I’ve heard is best gig ever from anyone who as been so far. So fair play Oasis for pulling off the biggest come back in music history. 
Conscience Of Kings gives you ….

These Are  The boys 

V1 
The council estate kings
With a soundtrack to our lives
Musical influence that just can’t be denied 
A pre social media age that was just a better time
From singing on the terraces
To rising  out the grime 

Chorus 
I told 
GenZ it’s all been said 
You claimed for yourselves instead 
These are the boys from the back of the class
Theses are the boys who are bringing it back x2

These are the boys…..they are your teachers,  your preachers 

V2
They broke through the dusty ceiling and shattered the glass
Like the icons before them they said it could never last
They made kids on council estates pick up guitars to thrash
Oh my son these are the boys from the back of the class

Chorus 

Into : 
These are the boys from the back of the class x4 

Lead break 

These are the boys from the back of the class 








These Are The Boys ~ Conscience Of Kings

his world just doesn't feel right anymore.
Sometimes, everything just becomes too much. So I keep locking myself away in thoughts of better times.

This is Volume 4 of a series of timeless Synth-Pop songs, meant to send you back to a time when everything felt so much better.

Immerse yourself in lush analog synths, atmospheric and melancholic synthesizer sounds, and retro drum machines that paint a bittersweet story of memory, longing, and the search for hope.

This music is your ticket to another time.
Perfect for late-night drives, creative moments, or simply letting go, drifting lost in thought.
