This is the second collaboration I’ve worked on with the very talented Mark Spruce (Original Spruce).  

This is a folk song exploring the boundaries between this world and the spiritual world and tells the tale of an encounter with a Robin in a churchyard. 

Lyrics by Mark Spruce
Music & performance by James Whiteman. 

Best with headphones. Hope you enjoy it. 

Take care

Lyrics:

Sky light Grey 

I stood in the church yard
Cold winters day
My back to the beach tree
Sky light grey

On the branch above me
Cock robin perched 
He sang then stared intently 
I returned his gaze

He repeated his song
And looked again
I smiled and nodded
Like we were friends 

I turned so slowly
As he moved to another branch
Eyeball to eyeball 
Repeat performance 

We both stood still
Locked in our game
He moved on once more
To repeat his refrain

I turned one eighty
When he landed behind me
My smile got wider
My heart got lighter
Watching each other
I'm absorbing this experience 

Then he came closer
We had circled the tree
A mystical moment 
This bird and me

You said your father
Would return
In the spirit of a robin
Watching over us one day

As I stood in that churchyard
Lost in that moment
I felt your father 
Came back to say

I'm here, I'm still here
I will always be here

Salt into, to my wounds
Breaking all your rules
I’m not here to lose

Obtuse, abstract, complicated
The fear inside wants me to play dead…
Vanish to thin air….
This I swear

Two arrows split my ribcage
The air left my lungs in haste
Blood drained, pale, lifeless
Don’t know how I survived again

Stood up, buried my sword in his heart
Somehow, I found the strength
Push on everything you have
Use it for everything you’ll gain

Up, up, never give up, up
Don’t you give up
The world is yours

Salt into, to my wounds
Breaking all your rules
I’m not here to lose

Nothing in life comes easy
Paying the price costs more than you know
In tragedy we must stay the course
There’s no running away

Whispers In The Shadows

You build yourself up while the world breaks you down 
Feeling untouchable till the walls are crashing down 
All the strength you gather be gone in a second 
Everything forgotten can come back and fucking wreck it

One day you're standing tall
The next day you’re going to fall 
Everything’s going, going away
Everything's going, going away 

One day you’re standing tall
The next you’re on the floor
Contemplating how the fuck you can take anymore
Your resolve will be tested by the limits of your soul
You dissolve every method it begins to take its toll

So many white walls that need a big hole from my fist 
So much of this fighting is over all of this shit 
I conquer conquer conquer but the fight still rages on 
I wonder wonder wonder if I can go on at all

But my mind is there to save me and to gather up my will 
My mind is there to save me and repeat I fucking will 
The torment will keep rising but the dog in me bites back 
The universe is winning until I am fighting back 
My heart is beating loudly but my chest gathers the air
The start was so profound but the enemies still there
My energy is binding and its blinding to the hurt
I will not be defeated this was needed for me to learn 
This was needed for me to learn
This was needed for me to learn

Lyrics:

I see the moon above me
I hear the whistling from the wind
But I don't see you 
Not even your shadow
I'm all alone
Under the moon
Moonlight embraces me tightly
The wind is my only friend...

You used to love me deeply
You used to whisper in my ear
But now all I can hear
Is the whistling from the wind
It tells me I'm alone
Under the moon
Moonlight embraces me tightly
The wind is my only friend...

I hear the wind is calling
It tells me to lay down
Under the moon
Moonlight embraces me tightly
The wind is my only friend...

back and forth(talking to myself)

My quiet place is playing the piano... and just for the sake of it!

A Quiet Place

Sometimes it takes a few months to figure out what it takes to complete a track fully. 😛  I'm pretty sure this is the complete version now. 😁

Hide In The Dark Chapter II * Instrumental

I'm a British-American Electronic musician by the name of Nathan who currently lives in the Pacific NW. ... Sometimes I take extended Social Media breaks for my sanity. Lol! 😅 ... So if I ever miss responding to a comment or returning a follow, it's only because it's hard catching up when I've been gone a month.

I play vintage synths which I've had for decades(because new ones are expensive. Lol!), but in the last couple of years I've been working much more with DAWs (which is awesome because my fingers don't work as well as they used to), with the occasional flourish from my aging synths.

I'm influenced by all varieties of electronic and electronic-adjacent music from 1960s/70s - 2020s, not to mention a bit of Prog and Metal, and Jazz Fusion. 

My focus tends to be on Trance, Ambient, Synthwave, EDM, Synthpop, EBM, Industrial, Darkwave, Futurepop, and the occasional hint of Jazz Fusion. (Sometimes all in the same track).

That's what happens when you're hooked by the Doctor Who Theme at a young age. ;-)  

I'm not always entirely sure which subgenres many my tracks are closest to, So I try to pick the broadest and most dominant one for the main tag. The first row of tags are the other ones I reckon they're closest to, and the rest are an assortment of other related tags, some closer than others.
