love the energy that is sustained throughout the piece!! excellent orchestration!! well done!!

I really like what you do man. You are talented

Great cinematic emotive track. Magical. :)

Great tune and very cool style Still:) Top notch song! Kenny

Really lovely textures and rhythmic ostinatos in this piece - splendid!

why is it that i have wings sprouting and feel i'm taking off when the deepest bass comes in?! greatest effect!

there are few people with the compositional vision & chops to post "classical" pieces, and you got 'em!!  : )

A very nice piece with a great orchestration!

I made this for my little sister; it's a string of cameos about the town where we were born and raised - a suburb of Newcastle Upon Tyne.  Low income, but real world, real people, real troubles, real joy, real love, real communities, real humour, real music, real life.  All in gloriously rough 1960's industrial working class North East England monochrome.

For those of you not from that part of the world, lyric translations back to English are available upon request. :)

Started as a scribble, pretended to be a poem for a while, then I decided to noodle along and then.....  Ah, you know how it is.....in Byker town.

Byker Town

Wallpaper of steam trains
Where the sweeping headlights sprawled
‘Cross the ceiling to the old piano
Up against my bedroom wall
In ‘67 the lid came down
Never played again so fair
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Cross the bridge to get to school
Rope swings underneath
Bull’s eyes from the slaughterhouse 
Bombed out rail yard stark relief
Billy Smart’s big top’s coming down
But I don’t care
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Stench of old men in the Raby Arms
A bottle of dog to take back yem
Dominos and baccy tins
Were all that mattered way back then
Every retail product to be found
In Ernie’s shop just six foot square
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Quayside Sunday mornings
Champion, just the job
A week of meat to feed the bairns
For only fower bob
Scranshins from the chippy van ‘round
The side door of the Mayfair
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Sent out on the Wednesday
In Charlie Shepherd’s finest rags
Over to the smokies
To get free broken kippers by the bag
Dad got paid when Thursday came around
Treats for us to share
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Front step full of babbies
Grazed knees on skinny legs
Back lane rows of nappies
Her face is full of wooden pegs
He’s on the dole no work to be found
Torn bookie slips by his chair
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Nets twitching down the road
Never washed in years
Kids with mucky faces 
Almost clean behind the ears
Never seem to have a frown
Owning only what they wear
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Give up all the baggage I’ve got now
Of life in disrepair
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Byker Town

In about 50 years, I might sit on a cloud and look at our world from above! Hopefully everything is fine then!

Looking Back from Future

Once upon a time our world was fearsome - it was populated by some folks
who were convienced that force was needed
for to tame the people in their land
But soon they learned that this is no way to go
And the sun will shine every day and the rain
will rain every night all over the world

The miserable year twenty two a bloody war was raging in the world
but the warlord had realized that it was no point
in slaughtering the people nearby
and furthermore a nasty virus had attacked the whole globe
But the sun will shine every day and the rain
will rain every night all over the world

But now for several years the presidents and the kings are wise
they have noticed that laws are abided 
when democracy rules their land
they now know that wars and hostality make people poor
And the sun will shine every day and the rain
will rain every night all over the world

Approximate translation to Swedish
Om cirka 50 år kommer jag kanske att sitta på ett moln och betrakta vår värld uppifrån! Förhoppningsvis är allt fint då!

Ser tillbaka från framtiden

En gång i tiden var vår värld skrämmande - den var befolkad av vissa människor
som var övertygade om att kraft behövdes
för att tämja folket i deras land
Men snart lärde de sig att det inte är någon väg att gå
Och solen kommer att skina varje dag och regnet
kommer att regna varje natt över hela världen

Det eländiga året tjugo två rasade ett blodigt krig i världen
men krigsherren hade insett att det inte var någon mening
att slakta människorna i närheten
och dessutom hade ett otäckt virus attackerat hela jordklotet
Men solen kommer att skina varje dag och regnet
kommer att regna varje natt över hela världen

Men nu i flera år är presidenterna och kungarna kloka
de har märkt att lagar följs
när demokratin styr deras land
de vet nu att krig och fientlighet gör människor fattiga
Och solen kommer att skina varje dag och regnet
kommer att regna varje natt över hela världen

Looking back from Future

Hi guys, when I made this song I had no idea where the journey would take me. But I just wanted to try something crazy. When the song was done, I didn't know what to think of the song, but somehow the song puts me in a good mood. And since I couldn't find a song title, I just called the song "I don't know". Have a good time listening and thanks.......... Martin
