TILL IT'S TRUE     -    Written, Performed, Produced by Pete Rubissow

One day I’ll fly to the moon
One day I’ll fly there with you
Up into the heavens
Rushing through mach seven
As we fly up into the blue
In our silver capsule
Just me and you

We’ll build a house with a view
Paint it all white and sky blue
We’ll be so happy
Without any gravity weighing us down
Bouncing off the walls
Impossible to fall
In our house on the moon

Dream is all I can do
Dream till it comes true
Nothing can stop me
And I see you there
Smiling at me
As we rise on our wings
Together we’re flying
Inspiring
We’re dreaming this dream
Till it’s true

We’ll see the earth from afar
As we drive round the moon in our car
The earth looks so tiny
Blue, green and shining
Like a jewel
Spinning in the dark
Billions of hearts
Seen from afar

Dream is all I can do
Dream till it comes true
Nothing can stop me
And I see you there
Smiling at me
As we rise on our wings
Together we’re flying
Inspiring
We’re dreaming this dream
Till it’s true

Till It's True

Updated mix of a new tune:

I've got a pocketful of memories
Leaves falling softly from old trees
How many more, tell me pretty please?
Oh that's a trick question

I'm not ready for the slowdown
My mind is racing all around
So many seeds still in the ground
Now where is the lesson, tell me?
I'll keep you guessing

Oh I am a relic, a monument of time
A month of Sundays following behind
Standing at the edge of every borderline
I am a relic

And I've got a closet full of skeletons
I can hear them banging on their drums
Takes me back to the once-upons
Oh I still remember

And I can tell you what's coming
Listen to the wheels, they're humming
Doesn't matter if you're running
You'll never reach forever
And it's only when, not whether
Yes soon enough

Oh I am a relic, a herald from the past
I'm here to tell you the die is cast
The odds are so high, they're unsurpassed
Oh my little one

I am a relic, I'm a pantomime
No need for words, soliloquy or rhyme
The curtain falls, you join the line
Oh I am a relic

I Am A Relic (update)

Scarborough Fair Canticle

I've been manifesting this one for a while now. 

A lot has happened since you last heard from me - growth, birth, death, change.. all while I was unable to use mixing music as my muse through it all. 

So here is my release. 

There are messages in the journey of the track selection, for those that listen, symbolizing how I've persevered.

I hope this carefully woven soundtrack finds you with a little comfort & reassurance that you are exactly where you are supposed to be.

Never Leave At All

From SongWeb's review of Michael Lyon's album, What Could Be: “Rain or Shine” is a monument to the tenacity and the capacity to weather life’s storms, which Lyon’s words and melodies reflect wonderfully. Lyon’s vocals are determined, and the music is encouraging. It is sweet yet forceful, and it makes an indelible impression. The melody, in particular, provides a delightful experience." https://www.michaellyonmusic.com/

Rain Or Shine

From SongWeb's review of Michael Lyon's album, What Could Be: The album finishes with the title track, “What Could Be,” which reflects the general theme of the album. Lyon’s profound words, along with the beautiful music, result in an emotional climax. He regularly hits the mark with his delicate fingerstyle guitar playing that churns out soulful melodies, which is no surprise given his vast experience in the field, along with his honest style of creating lyrics, and this song is no exception.  https://www.michaellyonmusic.com/

Grittel Gadfly - Bridge Over Troubled Water

I went to see Paul Simon in the 3 arena in Dublin as part of his Gracelands tour and whilst the gig was amazing, the song of the night was this one and to me it just proves that all you need with a good song is a guitar and a voice and the lyrics are still so prevalent today as they were back when the song was first written.  Thank you Paul. 

Written by Paul Simon 
Performed Live by: Johnny Mc Farlane

The Sound of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel)

Grittel Gadfly is an international superstar and opera-trained singer who is known for her 25 octave "whistle soprano" vocal range, excellent song-writing abilities, and diverse talent in music. She holds the official world record for the highest note ever sung, and can shatter glass with her voice.

Cordelia Therese is Grittel Gadfly's alter-ego, who plays more sophisticated music. Her style is influenced by Celine Dion, Lucy Thomas, Whitney Houston, the Bee Gees, Pat Benatar, Tina Turner, Barbra Streisand, ABBA, and Alison Krauss.

Grittel Gadfly (Cordelia Therese) is a member of Catfish Ravioli, a band that plays a fusion of different genres, including country, rock, jazz, pop, and so on.

I'm a NorCal based Songwriter, Record Producer and Guitarist.

This is the place to hear all the songs & music I write & produce.

I write music in the Pop/Rock/Electronic realm and sometimes crossover into other genres for fun. I also score movies from time to time. 

Besides writing and releasing my own songs, I produce and develop rising Pop and Indie Rock artists. 

My musical influences are broad. In no particular order I would say: Chopin, Butch Vig, The Beatles, Underworld, Miles Davis, HAIR the musical, Elliot Smith, Garbage, Caetano Veloso, Earth Wind & Fire, LTJ Bukem, Santana, Radiohead, William Orbit, Brian Eno, Shania Twain, Prince, The Pretenders, Mutt Lange, Pink Floyd, Hans Zimmer, Digital Underground, Sting, Beethoven, Neil Young, Herbie Hancock, Caravan Palace, Norah Jones, Michael Jackson, Elvis Costello, Kayhan Kalhour, Allison Krauss, Foo Fighters, Pop, Rock & Electronic music in general and countless loud rock and dance shows.

Whatever the music is, I want it to be in my face. It doesn’t have to be loud. It has to be real. I want it to be full of emotional power and to bravely show it. I want to feel it.

I grew up in Berkeley, California and then in rural Devon England during the 70s. I played violin as a kid, but at age 13 I suddenly announced I was dropping violin to take up guitar instead. 

As a young guitarist I was amazed by the sheer power of Led Zeppelin, Boomtown Rats and BB King. I taught myself all their songs by ear from listening to cassette tapes over and over and over again late at night - driving my mom and sister absolutely mad.

The reverb-soaked 70s song "Small Hours" by singer-songwriter John Martyn had a huge impact on me - which you can still hear in my instrumental guitar work today.

My Dad was a physicist/pianist and through him I developed a keen appreciation of Liszt, Chopin and Beethoven’s piano works. I memorized the melodies of their famous etudes, preludes and sonatas as I fell asleep hearing my Dad play them downstairs at night.

My sister loved Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, The Commodores, Chicago, Marvin Gaye & Aretha Franklin. And through our home stereo system I discovered all kinds of amazing music in my sister's collection of LPs.

My mother enjoyed straight-ahead Jazz and Be Bop, as well as show tunes. I must have heard My Fair Lady 20,000 times. Jesus Christ Superstar also.
Musical Theater is where some of the best and most creative music is being made.. Mom took me to my first Jazz shows and to plays in London's West End.

After high school I attended Berklee College of Music and focused on Guitar, Arranging and Composition.

Later, while living in Los Angeles I began writing and performing my own intensely melodic pop and alternative songs at clubs all over town. I also scored several indie films and documentaries. In the 90s, KCRW FM was the first to add and play my music in eclectic rotation.

Then I took a big detour working a couple decades in the wine business which is also a love and family passion. After exiting the delightfully exhausting world of wine in 2019, I immediately got back to work wiritng new songs, producing tracks and working with local artists to devlop and produce their work.

As a producer I’m always listening to what’s new and how artists and producers are crafting their sound and authenticity.

As far as what's on pop radio right now, Billie Eilish & Finneas make beautiful stuff. Taylor Swift’s “Lavender Haze” is brilliant, Taylor Swift is a pop song machine. I really like Olivia Rodrigo. Also, The Weeknd knocks it out of the park EVERY TIME. Dua Lipa and her producers really bring it. Lizzo too.

I write drafts of most of my music in my head or on guitar first, and then work it all out by recording rough tracks & beats in Logic and then gradually addiing, subtracting layers to find sounds and feelings that work.

All musicians are much more diverse than their recordings tell you. As musicians our influences help inspire who we are, but in the end, our own authentic voice is unique and may not sound anything like the music and artists we love most.

Here you will find little acoustic pop songs; melancholy, dreamy-folk things. Sometimes some jangly, fuzzy rock tunes or ambient pieces as well. Work-in-progress demos to finished tracks, informal playlists to official album releases. Enjoy.

Michael Lyon wrote, sang & played all the songs for albums 1, 2, and 3 - Pictures, Waking Up & Curiosity - and just NOW-released: #4, What Could Be. https://www.michaellyonmusic.com/

With a heart full of gratitude and a soul full of attitude, this girl loves to get down with the basslines and intertwine with the melodies. 

As a seasoned event goer, and avid music hunter, Luna has been quietly growing her own alias as a creative track mixer and dance maker over the last decade. Her passion on the dance floor has inspired her to produce the feeling she gets, unto others. With a vast collection of genres, house music is her happy place. Her endless selection of soul food always has a way of transmitting a lift in energy, bringing the vibe up for all to enjoy and relate to. She isn't only about the sounds you hear, but the emotions you feel. Let the magic move you - inside and out. 

In an ocean of music we move with the flow ☯. - Dub FX

Shades of Simon - an outstanding 5 piece band presenting the story and authentic sound of the songs of Paul Simon.

I am a singer/songwriter from Ireland loving SoundCloud and the ability to be able to put my songs up here for people to listen to and comment and to be able to collaborate with other musicians around the world is really amazing. Loving the technology that makes all this home recording and sharing possible and  i am totally knocked out by the talent out there it is frightening and brilliant and i am in awe and very happy to be part of this amazing forum.
