timing and space used so well in this track!! clear vocals as usual!

An excellent son, was this written for a show.? Great lyric and performed beautifully....

Really nice, Grant ... fantastic music and voice

brilliant composition and vocals! Top production!

What a voice!  One so rarely hears anyone who can hold a candle to Erasure's Andy Bell, but now I've heard one!  What a superb track.  :-D

Lovers in Paris

Stranded, alone and cold. Keep walking, just keep moving. 
Swampy 101 presents Hard Roads. A new and original song. A dark and cold night of the soul. Is there a warm place of shelter at the end of the road?

Hard Roads

3 years down the line, the press seemed to have done their usual '3 years maximum for coverage' but it's still happening! This piece seeded itself in my head a few weeks after Russia's 'Military Exercise' into Ukraine. How could it not? What's happening in Ukraine is so wrong in so many ways.

It's still going on so why forget. That's the reason I have remixed this version in 2025 to keep this injustice fresh in our minds.

Lyrics (by Khan)

ON JULY

We met on July
We don’t know music come from and why
I can hear the storm is coming down down down
We don’t see but we see eye to eye
We can hear muses are coming down down down
We don’t see but we’re brotherhood

I saw fireworks tonight alone
I got the Big echo tonight and moon
I saw fireworks bring me to them
I feel paradise is here for me.

On July (Khan, Tot & Tea R. Sea)

Hi again, been a while !

After five years apart from composing and creating ; I tried to take the time and not pressure myself ; making what I like and do the "best". Experiencing the lack of imagination for so long is quite difficult but, in the end, you'll find a way in the ocean of melodies and mix it up to new pieces. I'm happy to find the path to creation again, after so long. Hope you'll enjoy this very new stuff.

Don't forget to like if you do, share if you can, comment if you want !

Cheers !

Lyrics IPG1:
Cloud Stepping (Chorus) Life is relative, 
to the one that’s living it Inside outlook, 
to giving and taking it 
Experience god’s works, all senses 
We were given just a little bit 
We couldn’t handle it all  the few we have 
can nearly fit the few 
we have can nearly fit
(Verse1) 
If we knew it all, and all, and all 
Then nothing would matter It’s all a puzzle to be solved 
We have always been the answer 
The plan of god without reward 
Evolves in different ways 
We are all awake in different dreams 
To let the devil play
(Verse2)
 Who amongst us hear the screams 
Of millions of lives lost,  and don’t look on it as savagery
 And wonder what’s the cost 
What’s the worth, and what’s the cost 
Are we listening or not 
Are we listening or not
(Chorus)
 Life is relative, to the one that’s living it Inside outlook, to giving and taking it Experience god’s works, all senses 
We were given just a little bit 
We couldn’t handle it all  the few we have 
can nearly fit the few we have can nearly fit
