Development of the idea I posted a couple of days ago with added arrangement and mixing.

Relent

Gustav Holz did Jupiter on The Planets, but chose a variation for the theme, I Vow to Thee my Country. A much longer orchestrated version of this piece was played at Winston Churchill's funeral. If you can find it on You Tube, listen. Prague Philharmonic did the piece.

The Blue Nile are the most enigmatic band in pop. Releasing just four albums in twenty years. Yet fans of their melancholic perfection include everyone from Peter Gabriel to 2016's hottest act, The 1975. Ken Sweeney's In Search of The Blue Nile airs the 28th of December at 10pm on RTÉ Radio 1

In Search Of The Blue Nile

boring

A song written in tribute to the late Talk Talk vocalist and songwriter, Mark Hollis.

You found a ragged star
And looked beyond the light
Stepped between the doubt and dare

When it took all of you
And everything you knew
To find the home inside despair 

Feigned like love
All ghost and hand
They walk away in fear

Lost again
But lingering
A bright rain at Tangier

A moment half undone
You walked a rare divide
It's not a road that you forget

And when we all succumb
We'll find another name
For the treasure and the debt

Rain At Tangier

A Minor Remake or remix rather of my last song from 2012. I tried to make this more on the industrial side, which is the direction my stuff for 2013 will be going..  who knows though.. 

Blue Box V.2 instrumental

He likes weird chords, epic top-lines and beats that break ankles.
