Finally, we reached the summit of Geomeun Oreum. The summit had a trail along the ridge. Walking along the ridge, we could overlook Jeju City and the sea beyond. Looking west from the summit, we could see Aewol-eup in the distance, with rows of oreums visible there as well. It is said that long ago, the villagers used it as a pasture where they collectively grazed cattle and horses.

At the summit of Geomeun Oreum, the wind was strong. It was clear, but a cold sensation still permeated. Except for the pine and Oriental arborvitae trees along the ridge, not a single leaf had yet emerged. However, a silver magnolia tree with glossy leaves caught my eye. And in the fierce wind, the silver magnolia tree often swayed heavily, making rough sounds. I was able to record the strong wind and the swaying of the silver magnolia tree at the summit of Geomeun Oreum right away.

Shine a Little Light for Me - Single

Shine a Little Light for Me

A laid-back reggae-funk track that follows a park ranger cruising through tropical roads with a trunk full of pickles. It’s a carefree, feel-good tune about living free, embracing his passion on the road.

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
He’s rollin’ down the highway, under the sun,
With his trunk packed tight, he’s havin’ some fun.
Got the pickles in jars, stacked up high,
Every flavor you need, he’s your pickle guy.

From dill to sweet, spicy to sour,
Pickles in the trunk, it’s his superpower.
No bags, no clothes, he don’t need a thing,
Just that briny love, it makes his heart sing.

(Chorus)
He packs 'em in the trunk, yeah, he’s on the run,
Pickles in the back, soaking up the sun.
Funky flavors, green and bright,
In that reggae groove, he’s feelin’ alright.
From bumper to bumper, you can bet,
It’s a pickle-filled vibe, don’t you forget!

(Verse 2)
When the bassline hits, you know he’s near,
You can smell that brine, fresh and clear.
People ask, “Hey man, what you got inside?”
He just laughs and says, “It’s my pickle pride.”

No worries, no stress, just a crunch in the breeze,
Pickles in his life, yeah, they put him at ease.
He’s got reggae in his heart, funk in his soul,
And a truck full of pickles, that’s how he rolls.

(Chorus)
He packs 'em in the trunk, yeah, he’s on the run,
Pickles in the back, soaking up the sun.
Funky flavors, green and bright,
In that reggae groove, he’s feelin’ alright.
From bumper to bumper, you can bet,
It’s a pickle-filled vibe, don’t you forget!

(Bridge)
No room for stress, just that island sound,
Pickles in the trunk, as he’s cruisin’ around.
Every jar’s a hit, every crunch’s a beat,
In his reggae funk world, life’s just sweet.

(Chorus)
He packs 'em in the trunk, yeah, he’s on the run,
Pickles in the back, soaking up the sun.
Funky flavors, green and bright,
In that reggae groove, he’s feelin’ alright.
From bumper to bumper, you can bet,
It’s a pickle-filled vibe, don’t you forget!

(Outro)
So if you see him ridin’ with that groove so deep,
Pickles in his trunk, and the vibe’s complete.
In a reggae-funk rhythm, he's livin’ free,
With a pickle in hand, and sweet harmony!

Lost and Found

This is a rock instrumental with an undulating bass line that, along with the drums and percussion, provides a sensual foundation for the horns and lead guitar.

Bump On My Bump

Bump On My Bump - John Flanigan

Here is a chord progression I've been playing and developing for quite some time. I applied it with a slow tempo and analog ambient sounds to establish the base of the tune. I then added solos over the progression, including a wonderful flugelhorn sample from Soundpaint for the first solo. Finally, I thought this one needed a real signature/icing on the cake final solo, so I brought in my good friend, Brian Nutwell to add guitar to take the song out. I think the results speak for themselves.

Rhythm track - Deep Pool by In Session Audio
Base pad - Model 15 by Moog
Secondary pad & string pad - OP-Xa & Solina by Arturia
Bass - Session Player by LogicX

Here Today Gone Tomorrow

"Chasing Our Story"

(Inspired by Ed Sheeran)

[Verse 1]

I found you in a crowded room, lights low, hearts in tune,

Your eyes were like a melody, pulling me to you.

We danced under the starlit sky, no need to question why,

Like a photograph, you’re framed inside my mind.

[Pre-Chorus]

And I’m thinking ‘bout the nights we spent,

Running wild where the river bends,

From the castle hills to the city’s end,

You’re the song I’ll sing again.

[Chorus]

So take my hand, let’s write our story,

Chasing love, no need for glory.

We’ll dance in the rain, hearts beating in time,

Like the Galway girl, you’re forever mine.

Oh, love, we’ll find the shape of us tonight.

[Verse 2]

We’re painting dreams on a canvas sky, with colors bold and bright,

Every touch feels like a lyric, every kiss a rhyme.

When the world feels cold and broken, we’ll build a place to mend,

In your arms, I’ve found my home, my lover, my best friend.

[Pre-Chorus]

And I’m dreaming of the days gone by,

Climbing rooftops, reaching for the sky.

From the small-town streets to the ocean’s cry,

You’re the spark that lights my fire inside.

[Chorus]

So take my hand, let’s write our story,

Chasing love, no need for glory.

We’ll dance in the rain, hearts beating in time,

Like the Galway girl, you’re forever mine.

Oh, love, we’ll find the shape of us tonight.

[Bridge]

And when my hair’s all gone, and my legs won’t move,

I’ll still be loving you, like the first day I knew.

We’ll sway to the rhythm of a life well-lived,

Every scar, every laugh, every moment we give.

[Chorus]

So take my hand, let’s write our story,

Chasing love, no need for glory.

We’ll dance in the rain, hearts beating in time,

Like the Galway girl, you’re forever mine.

Oh, love, we’ll find the shape of us tonight.

[Outro]

So here’s to the nights we’ll never forget,

To the love we found, no room for regret.

In the shape of you, I’ve carved my heart,

Our story’s forever, we’ll never part.
