 "A smile from you might make it a nicer day"
 For everyone who DOESN'T have someone this year, as well as those who are in an unfulfilling relationship that's lost it's spark, or never had one in the first place....Valentine's can be a source of pain and heartache for people the world over, whether single OR in relationship.....we all feel lonely at times....In my personal healing practice, when a client comes in wanting to find a meaningful love relationship, I have to find the part of them that is lost and lonely by connecting with that part in myself.......To feel the times I've been lonely and grasping and gasping...It's called empathy....Usually, once we truly feel our loneliness and stop running from it through overwork, drugs, alcohol, non-commital flings, etc.....we come to a point where we have to face it.....whether true friends help us, family, a healer or we do it solo, we come to that place of pain in our hearts. Feeling what's really there, the sadness, we do what needs to be done and eventually find a breakthrough and don't feel so lonely cuz we've come to love ourselves in a new and powerful way, at which point we can truly "find" someone who is meaningful or has real potential......a real "Valentine", whatever time of the year they happen to come..... 
 This song can help you connect with your Loneliness. I connected with my Loneliness and longing while making it, I've been a single father twice over, been isolated missing my lover or favorite friends...Had to learn alot of tough lessons about loneliness...In December, while I was working on this, My wife came down while I was making it on the first day and said "I have to have you right now, I can't take it anymore" ---Split second decision and I took care of her right then and there. This song took her to her loneliness even while making dinner in the kitchen upstairs.
 Tell a friend you love them. You care about them. Whether they are single or in an unsatisfactory relationship. Fuck all that shallow shit. You don't need to be that way. Be a lover and warrior for Love.
 Sometimes we can't be with the people we love the most. Not now, not ever (in this life). That is also a painful realization I've had to be help clients and friends through over and over...You'll find a new love....And then, there's the people who've departed from us in the physical world and "left us behind", and you can only wait to find out the truth when you die......my heart goes out to all of you in this song with Bill, and I've arranged it so that he is You speaking to THAT PERSON, or those people. Echoing what's in your heart. 
 Mark Twain said "the 2 most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why" I'd like to add a 3rd, it's the day you stop caring what anyone else thinks about you expressing your deepest truth and feelings and you take the leap and do it. Over and over and over again. Peace.

SHOUTS: My Wife Sarah's smile is the most amazing thing. She's taken me out of some dark places....My Best Friend's Ness, Nu, and Bastid all have smiles so fucking dope they can take me out of any loneliness while I'm with them... My Son's smile is brighter than the sun. My daughter is a teenager and getting her to smile is A CHORE. Ha...

Smile For Me

I've been absorbed in music since the early 80's listening to electro, soul, Chicago house etc. Discovered funk and disco in the early 90's when away at Uni and have spent the past 20 + years buying back into this amazing music genre. Don't get the time to play out much nowadays but I have DJ'ed at Funkademia in Manchester a few times over the past year or two which is always a top night and great place to play! The older I get the more I seem to appreciate not only the music I have collected, but all of the hidden gems I am discovering through edits posted on either Soundcloud or new releases from one of the many talented producers/ editors currently in the Disco Scene. Big fan of labels such as Disco Deviance, Editorial, Midnight Riot, Editors Kutz, Razor N Tape, Whiskey Disco, Chopshop, Hot Digits etc. In my mixes I try to blend the records as subtly as possible and be respectful to what has already been created.
