A fun song made up from a couple of nonsense lines that were randomly said in the workplace, which I tried to make mean something.  It is about a scare crow, basically.

Scary Mary  (1035)  1st Version

Written after I too voluntary redundancy in 2021.   Started to invest on the stock exchange and, initially, done very well, but then it all crashed.

It’s All About The Money  (0988)  1st Version

This is a play on further away, but about a father who never stayed long enough to realise he left a trail of kids behind him.

Father Away  (0135)

This was about going into stock market investing to enable me to make money without the worry of not having a job.  

It's All About The Money  (0988)  2nd Version

This is the 2nd AI upload of a very old song which was recorded back in the early 1990s.

Come Dawn  (0041)  2nd Version

This is a very old song which I recorded but never released.  I did update these lyrics recently (in A.I.M The Lost Connection) but this song features the original lyrics.

Unknown Origin  (0171)

This is a song I wrote back in 1992 and wanted to record it for decades.  I finally recorded it and released it on my 12th album in 2024.  I was pleased with the result but not streaming as well as I would have liked.  So, I thought it was time to let AI have a go at it.
It's about not knowing whether someone you fancy is the right one for you.  And, as they say - time will tell, so go for it.

Test Of Time  (0069)

A song that was started in the late 80s but finished in 1992.  It was recorded in the mid 90's (on a 4-track tape-recorder) but not released until 2021.

Turn Down Suicide  (0079)

Written and originally recorded in 1994 - the year I was offered a publishing deal.  never did get featured on any of my releases.  This is not a perfect representation of the song but the best AI can do for now.

https://the-lost-connection.com  is the place to learn about me and my history.  Although I am just a Warehouse Picker, I am also a songwriter/keyboard player (IPI.  1069682323).  I have written over 1000 song lyrics since 1989 and have released 12 albums.  My productions have never been good enough to promote and I'm happy being an unknown artist, writing and recording music for pleasure rather than as a professional.  In April of 2017 I created my own website.  If you are interested in my songs then please save and stream on internet streaming sites, such as YT Music and Spotify.   If you like my words then check out my book ‘The Words Behind The Music Volume One: Lost In Reality’.  There will be a 2nd book within the next year, The Other Ones Before (Then After).
 
I released my first album, 'Lost Property' in December 2019. In the following months I released 5 Best Of albums.  They contained 87 tracks which I'd recorded between 2011 -2019.  In March I decided to release another album of songs which I'd recorded on tape (1994 - 1998) although 'Love Music' was updated in 2018 and the poem , Arrival... In Due Time', was recorded to complete the 'Reality In Dreamland' story not long before the album release.  

'2020 Vision' is the final album release for 2020.  This contains the single 'Voluntary Redundancy' which is very significant in regard to the album and the year in general.   Plans to collaborate more are very much my objective for the next year(s) to come.  

The next album release was  'New Lost World 19-20-21' (released on 1-9-2021 and features songs recorded in that 3 year period) which does feature one song that was re-written in a collaborative format.  Many of the songs were recorded (or re-recorded) during my year break after redundancy.

Soon after 9th album, I released 'The Lost & Found History', which was a duo that never had enough time to get ideas up and running, but the brief recording moments occurred and this album shows the results.  The recordings were done between 1999 - 2013, but a couple of the tracks were initially, just music.  Lyrics were added and, in 2021, the vocals were added to complete the songs.  Other songs were meant to recorded but we never found the time.  

Progress was made during the COVID years few and 'Whatever Happened' is an album that reveals the the results of attending a sync-writing course for 6 months, writing to briefs and collaborating, mixed with personal, poignant and humorous songs.  it features lyrics from as far back as 1990. Before the release of the album 2 singles were promoted on Spotify: Won't Stop' and 'I Am Just Me'.  I am glad to reveal that the album will contain another version of 'Won't Stop' but called 'We Won't Stop' featuring Tim (the other half of The Lost & Found') on guitar and vocals (and co-writer of the music).

I may promote 'Voluntary Redundancy' from 2020 as I never gave it much exposure when first released.

Prior to focusing on my website and my  own releases I was in a heavy rock band...

At the beginning of 2013 I became the keyboard player with Innovator.    At the beginning of 2015, 'Time Is Running Out' but the first album was recorded before I joined the band.  'Spare Time' I introduced to the band and it was modified into an Innovator collaboration.  The song has been pre-recorded in it's original musical format , but lyrics amended since 2009 and is on '2020 Vision'.  A single was released on DistroKid in January 2016 for which I had a very big influence, called 'Southern Lady'.  It was a variation of a piece of music called 'The Lost And Found' recorded as a song many years before, but never released (as vocals not added until more recent years).  On this SoundCloud site I have deleted all the Innovator songs as I left the band in June 2017.  ‘Trapped Behind The Looking Glass’ was the 3rd album whi ch was released in August 2018,  on which I played on 6 of the songs and did backing vocals on ‘Dogs Of War’ (the deep chorus vocals).
