Original song and lyrics, guitars and vocals from Dirk Taubenheim (The Gatsbys)
Arrangements, mix and mastering : Richard Gonfrier

I'm feeling very proud today to contribute to Dirk's work, and share with you the outcome of our collaboration on one of his songs. 
Dirk kindly offered me to have a thought on some of his unfinished songs, and I was immediately touched by this one, One Of A Billion Stars for the meaningful lyrics and the message of Hope it delivers.
Since the beginning, I knew I wanted the same lush guitar I used for the song 1.00am, fitting so well with Dirk's voice. But this time I wanted it more subtile and more in the background than it was for our previous collab.
Then I realized that the chord progression Dirk composed was a perfect base for an instrumental chorus, with more guitars and spatial synths sounds. Finally I added a catchy synth lead line, modestly recalling Justice, which gave the modernity that this pop ballad needed to get revealed.
As I told Dirk, this song was a rough diamond I had the privilege to shape. Big Thanks for your trust Dirk, and if you want to discover and listen more of his work, please just run to his SC page https://soundcloud.com/the-gatsbys
I hope you enjoy, and all your feedback is much much appreciated. 
We are all one of a billion stars....

LYRICS:
When you think you' re all alone you may be sure someone cares.
Love cannot be seen but we all know when it' s there

Sometimes we have to wait for years and that may cause us many tears
but no one leaves this world unloved.
It may be more than you can bear that makes you cry and often swear
but someone will fix your broken heart.

Oh, ohoho, ohoho, oho
Oh, ohoho, ohoho, oho

Who' s been telling you those lies that life sucks and is a bad compromise?
Don' t believe in things like that, all they will do is make you sad.

Sometimes we have to wait for years and that may cause us many tears
but no one leaves this world unloved.
It may be more than you can bear that makes you cry and often swear
but someone will fix your broken heart.

Oh, ohoho, ohoho, oho
Oh, ohoho, ohoho, oho

Don' t you be afraid no more to lose or fail - God loves you as you are.
He created space and time and you are one of a billion stars

All actions have a consequence so there is no coincidence
that means our lives really make sense.
Take care of others, spread God' s love, try to be part of heaven' s staff,
praise the Lord and that' s enough!

Spark (feat. The Windscale Blues Experiment)

Walkin through the water leavin footprints in the puddles
let it wash away…from the trouble trackin me
woman talkin… tellin on her pain
but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t know the same
so which of us is blind…me and her in darkness or the one’s ignoring signs

stop your crying…get back in line…I escape my mind
fly off with a frenzied murder…blackest raven driving at the heart
maybe be a tragic hero…maybe even bleed
pull up your boots…get on your feet
yea
walkin through the water leavin footprints in the puddles
let it wash away…woman realizing how far away her spirit stayed
from the horror waitin in her mind…but she closed the distance
airing out that pain…she wants to feel again…so she’s

Walkin through the water leavin footprints in the puddles
let it wash away...

LYRICS - I LOST YOU
Eleyan Di Palma for Grooveclowd



I started to walk
Started to walk away
I started a fire
Watch it all decay
And I lost you
And I lost you, oo oo oo
And I lost you
And I lost you oo ooooo

VERSE

I started to live
Started to live my life
Then, things went wrong
Everything out of si-ght
And I want you
And I want you oo oo oo
And I want you
And I want you oo oo oo 

Please know that I miss you
You're the one
You've always been the One--------

And I Lost You - Eleyan Di Palma

Woke up with a plan to do some backyard smoking today on my Oklahoma Joes Canyon Smoker.  Just had to finish this song. Enjoy!

Smokin in the Back Yard

Independently unpolished band who like to be happy.  Unintentionally retro. Effortlessly uncool.

We'd describe ourselves as unpolished with dashes of introspection, cynicism, irony & humour. Tom Robinson describes us as ‘optimistic jangle fuzz merchants’.

We're very pleased to have had lots of radio play & positive feedback from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Introducing East Midlands, Radio Caroline & Exile FM Radio amongst others. We’ve also been chosen several times as a Fresh On The Net 'Fresh Fave'.

Despite being quite a reclusive band with modest ambitions - we like our music to be heard outside of our own heads!

All our music is available for free download on Bandcamp.
