A love song with nature imagery, long flowing phrases and pungent vocal harmonies.  Stirring and poetic.

Ode to a horse, the 'Lully mare' (rhymes with Julie), passage of time, She'll be knowing I still know.

IMANU - Aching (On A High) feat. lia (flip)

Trigeminal Neuralgia, also known as Tic Douloureux, is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, the main nerve responsible for sensation in the face. The pain is often described as the worst facial pain, ranging from mild to severe. Its onset is sudden, severe, electric shock-like, or stabbing pain. Activities like speaking, eating, or sometimes just touching the face can trigger the condition. The pain is usually felt in the jaw, lips, gums, or cheek. But, may also occur in other parts of the face and last from a few seconds to several minutes once or multiple times a day.

It's a Blue Sky Don't Hold No Rain, by Pok the Bard.
Album: Anthology

IT’S A BLUE SKY DON’T HOLD NO RAIN
And I’ll try and try and try and try to get to you
And I’ll try and try and try and try again
And I’ll try and try and try and try to get to you
And I’ll try and try and try and try forever
Forever

We came across some bones of men
Scattered in the rust
So many good souls turned to dust
Within their shattered husks
And these people had worn jewels
And their heads had been held high
Speckled foreheads touched the sky
Behold the sparkling in their eyes

Don’t you know it’s a blue sky don’t hold no rain
Don’t hold your love in vain
Cos we’ve still got some loving to do

Some time ago the white man came
Bringing Bible books and swords
Bound them up in twining cords
In the name of their great Lord
They slew down the Aztecs
Inca, Ebu, Maasai
Now we hide in concrete lies
To my Mammon side I cry

What have we done
To the Mother Goddess Gaia?
Why can’t we nestle in her
Warm aching bosom?
Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah aah

Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain
Come bless this land again
Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain, rain, rain, rain
Just a little drop of rain
Come bless this land again
Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain, rain, rain, rain
Just a little drop of rain
Come bless this land again

Don’t you know it’s a blue sky don’t hold no rain
Don’t hold your love in vain
Cos we’ve still got some loving left to do

Now the world’s a spinning ball
Two thirds with none to eat
While we chew our scrawny meat
Can you hear those big bells beat?

What have we done
To the Mother Goddess Gaia?
Why can’t we nestle in her
Warm aching bosom?
Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah aah

Pok: It's a Blue Sky Don't Hold No Rain

[Verse 1]
Love can break a thousand times…
But still, I stand alone…
Watching time without you, my soul aches…
Every breath still calls your name…
Oh, oh, the aching…

[Chorus]
'Cause I’m missing you, oh…
I’m missing you, oh…

[Verse 2]
Touch my heart, pull me through…
Tell me this won’t fade…

[Chorus]
'Cause I’m missing you, oh…
I’m missing you, oh…

[Bridge]
Yeah, ooh…
Where are you now?
Where are you now?

Where are you now?
Where are you now?

[Chorus]
'Cause I’m… oh… I’m missing you…
I’m missing you… oh…

Where Are You Now

An aching cello joined halfway by flute and low drums to invoke the feeling of camping alone at night.

The Lonely Campfire

A song for my Shadow of a Fleeting Hope project. An aching yet hopeful combination of harp arpeggios, cello, and flute.

Ode to Hope

Ahmra

A haunting ballad about connection lost, and the emotional imprint it leaves behind. Blending glitchy electronic textures with melancholic harmonies, this track reflects on how echoes of someone can linger, teaching resilience even as they fade.

When the Echo Fades

Chad Everett is a guitarist, pianist, vocalist, and producer.  With slick R&B bass lines, layered guitars, sweet vocal harmonies, and Latin Jazz-inspired beats, his music embraces the groove.

Doksy. is a songwriter from British Columbia, whose music blends the soulful rhythms of indie, contemporary R&B, and psychedelic pop.

#Doksy. #Songwriter #Instrumental #Vocal #Producer

I’m a songwriter weaving stories of love, loss, resilience, and rebellion. My work spans intimate ballads about grief and healing, cinematic journeys of self-discovery, and sharp critiques of workplace life and social dynamics. As a lyricist, I craft heartfelt, cinematic narratives filled with rich, evocative imagery. My songs explore deep emotions, complex relationships, and personal growth through poetic and powerful lyrics that resonate with listeners on a profound level.

Solive Raye is the sound of solitude given form, quiet thoughts turned into raw, melodic truths. An engineer and lifelong observer, Solive Raye writes for those who feel alone in crowded rooms, where silence speaks louder than words.


Blending dark, atmospheric tones with flickers of hope, his music lives in the in-between: not quite despair, not quite light, but something honest.


Raised in movement, from football fields to refereeing lines, he now wanders more internal landscapes, shaping every lyric with the precision of an outsider looking in.


Solive Raye doesn’t shout. He resonates.

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.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
