Despite Skies of Blue
(For Peter with love)

The sun is on high
And there is no wind
blowing hard
But something's so sad
Despite skies of blue

There's music in the air
and the children play
on the ground
But something's so sad
despite skies of blue

The days like autumn 
leaves they fall
and the earth keeps spinning round
We see the years grow short
until it's time to go

I am lonely as a cloud
and the day is so beautiful
But something's so sad
despite skies of blue

The days like autumn 
leaves they fall
and the earth keeps spinning round
We see the years grow short
until it's time to go

The sun is on high
And there is no wind
blowing hard
But something's so sad
Despite skies of blue

But something’s so sad
Despite skies of blue.

Despite Skies of Blue - Valhjim  w/Martin Miers (Remaster 2024)

Gambling man (Part 1) 
Song by FrankSnr 2023
-----
If I could live myself two lives, 
One a fool.

Gambling man (Part 1)

I went and did a little dance
On the path of least resistance
The words your girlfriend said went to my head
Next thing she knew I crawled into her bed and
Mistakes were made
The odds of a couple were shattered

I slipped into her crumpled sheets
I slept a sinner and a cheat
And when the sun came up, I’d made my bed
Next thing I knew I’d sleep in it
Mistakes were made
The lives of innocents were shattered

She: "You should have stayed in our own bed
You should have known you would regret
You should have read the writing on the wall"

But I walked to the wall, I closed my eyes, and took the fall

I should have stayed in our own bed
I should have known I would regret
I should have read the writing on the wall, you said
But I walked to the wall, I closed my eyes, and took the fall

Got up and back into my own pants
Then on the path of dire consequences
I walked it all the way back to your place
Back to the edge of yesterdays
Regrets were had
The dreams of a lover were shattered

And so I begged, down on my knees
That you forgive me, forgive me please
The way you laughed right in my face
Next thing I knew we’d had our days
Revenge was had
The life of a fool was shattered

I should have stayed in our own bed
I should have known I would regret
I should have read the writing on the wall, you said
But I walked to the wall, I closed my eyes and took the fall

I should have stayed in our own bed
(Choir: He should have stayed in his own bed)
I should have known I would regret
(Choir: He should have known he would regret)
I should have read the writing on the wall, you said
(Choir: He should have read the writing on the wall, she said)
But I walked to the wall, I closed my eyes, and took the fall

Mistakes Were Made

I Should Have Stayed in Our Own Bed

I Should Have Stayed in Our Own Bed (feat. Tara Dybas)

eerie discomfort, walking under a hot summer sky.

AboveMyHead(NaviarHaiku567)

Impressionistic solo guitar piece that drifted into my brain and out to my hands from who knows where...

Look up and see the daffodils...

may we fight well and live to see the other side

interesting times

I wrote this song back in November during the U.S. election season - sick of the political news cycle, the bitter partisan divides and the lack of quality candidates from either party.  

American Dream Master 2-7-25

A new interpretation of one of my oldest songs.  Normally played acoustically, an electric version here. Impossible to categorise.  Called it 'Ambient' because it has a plaintive atmosphere.  A soulful, nostalgic trip to the past....

Long Ago

This understated fusion of strings, sound design, and piano makes for a mysterious, emotional, musical environment.

Dark Specter-(Eb minor), tempo: Moderate-strings, sound design, piano

Dan Morrissey - Nothingness

Song For St Bees

An elderly lover looks back on a life well lived and wonders where the future will lead. A plaintive acoustic ballad with rich instrumentation, including cello, clarinet and bouzouki. A modern feel but melodically influenced by the songs of Ivor Novello.

Hi, I’m Kelly.
Thanks for checking out my songs!

I started playing the piano when I was five years old.   I also play some accordion and harp, and I am hoping to improve my guitar playing.   

What you hear here are 250+ of my original keyboard based compositions, mostly written in my spare time outside of work between 2022 and now.   

I like to add in layers and nuances and extra tracks.  I’d like to get better at midi editing and composing and making my own drum tracks.   I’m an imperfectionist and incorrigible publisher of songs with errors in them.  

My main keyboard at the moment is a Nord Stage 4 88 key instrument of my dreams; and I’m still learning and experimenting with its features and capabilities.   

I made some really cool iridescent and black high quality vinyl sevenmiddlenames stickers: sometimes I send them in the mail (for free!) to kind repeat listeners.  If you’ve read this far, perhaps you’re one of them.   The honor of anyone hearing and enjoying my work in a world of so many competing demands for attention is motivating and inspiring: thank you.   

I'd love some feedback.

My seven middle names  (six of which I made up and gave to myself when I was 15) are for my true friends to know.

I write and record songs in different genres.  

I have already had my songs played on BBC Radio 1 and 2 and loads of plays on BBC Introducing.

My aim is to have my songs published by reputable companies and have them performed by successful artists Worldwide.

A professor of Comparative Politics by day, Pierre Englebert makes music by, huh..., later in the day. His seven albums, released since 2019, combine pop-rock, classical and singer-songwriter influences. His lyrics are humorous, touching, and thoughtful.

Valhjim is a music composer with an eclectic approach to different genres: rock, pop, folk, New Age, and experimental electronic music. Greatly driven by imagination and poetic imagery, he combines multiple instrumental textures to fire the imagination of his listeners. 

His more experimental ambience and electronic music is built with layers of suggestive sound textures, rhythms, and melodic lines that stir the imagination into suggestive imagery and worlds unseen, true architectures of sound that open up limitless spaces to explore. Often Valhjim's melodies sail through genre thresholds, crossing over from one genre to another, from neo classcal to electronic, or from jazz to rock or new age.
