I love you more than the sun shines light, I love you more than the stars at night, I love you more than the past that's gone, I love you more than 'I love you' in this song.

Practice Sessions (for SoundCloud)

I Love You More Than...  (first interpretation)  (Song 010)

This track features Trevor George - the 2nd drummer who I tried to win over and, like the previous one, appeared for only one or 2 practices, and Phil Maffey on guitar.  Steve Emm was not at this practice. It was due to Steve not wanting to be the singer, as already in another band, and not being able to complete the group at the time that led to the band not taking off.

In The Doghouse  (Song 019)  Music Only - guitar and drums

Practice session featuring Steve Emm, Phil Maffey and Trevor George.  I didn't play anything on this Fleetwood Mac' cover.

Rain On Me (Ft. Martinel) (Song 026)   12-08-2021

This isn't what my father said - he tended not to swear, but the sentiments are similar I think.  They are another set of lyrics from 1991 which I have finally turned into a song.

What His Father Said  (Song 029)  15-02-2022 Update *OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE*

Recorded early in 2022 but no vocals yet.

Forever Together,  Me And You  (Song 1017)  Music Only (Basic Version)

This is a true love story!  Back in the first part in mid 2019 and through until  mid 2020 my life wasn't brilliant.  I was made redundant at the end of August 2020 and then life improved in certain ways, but it was at the end of October that things got even better and, hence, this song was written.

Whatever Happened

Forever Together, You And Me

Forever Together, Me And You  (Song 1017) 2nd Version  *11-10-2022*

Just me taking the mickey out of one-liners back in the 90's.  Finally got around to turning these ones it into a song.

Don't Forget

Don't Forget  (0248)  *10-05-2024 Update*

As I released a track called SongCast back in 2013, I thought I'd better write one about Distrokid too, as that's who I use to release my music now.

Our Big Day  (1044)  Music Only

This is still work-in-progress - wanna make this a great track.
Before COVID I was very slim but, after a year out from work, I put on 2 stone and 8 inches around the waste.   Luckily I don't appear to be very fat but I felt fat so I decided to write this humourous kind of song.

Glad To Be Fat  (1019)  *1st Version*

Inspired by the stories in the news and as I've recently recorded news related subjects I thought it might be time to record this one.  Recorded from scratch on 28-10-2023.

A summary of my musical releases with the titles used within the lyrics.  It is about life before, during and after COVID in regard to this album and the next due releases and my future plans for 2024.  The last part of the song reflects on the dangers of the future world, which carries on from 2020 Vision (written and released prior to and during COVID).

Midian + Protocol Demo

Protocol - Hour Glass

Another song I wrote which was recorded,originally while trying to form the WIcked Babies, at the beginning of the 90s.  Towards the end of 1998 I was allowed to have an input into the Protocol song list.  Unfortunately we split before it went any further.

Practice Recordings (without vocals)

Protocol - Dry-Ice Memory (Song 042)  Music Only

Can't remember the name of the tune, but it was  recorded back in 1997.  Music written by the band members before I joined in 1996.  The bass player was a keyboard player beforehand and composed this music which I played on this track (all in a soundproof garage using a portable tape recorder).

She's One In A Million

She’s One In A Million  (Song 402)

Lyrics:  https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-lost-connection/the-lost-found-song-452/2557130467707925/

A tune created in 2000 and lyrics added in 2001.   This tune we did not have enough time to record properly in 2001 but, with the help of recording technology, it has been transferred from a D90 tape and chopped and sliced to complete this song finally.   My vocals were added 18 years later.  The production isn’t perfect, due to a poor tape recording, but this is a tune I had great fun finally finishing.  This was the two man amalgamation in a very productive period and is my favourite lyrics and riff.  This riff also inspired an Innovator song during my period in the band('Southern Lady').  The main riff was modified and a slight verse chord change.

THE LOST & FOUND

VERSE 1
Me and him, he is Tim
When together we’re musically tuned in
He plays chords to me and inspires a melody
The two unite forming a harmony
The two of us create a musical statement
Of subconscious feeling
Lucid tones evolve when alone
Like self-controlled dreaming.

BRIDGE 
One, two, drift around around through different fields of sound
The future is unknown, but will always be “Lost & Found’.

CHORUS
The past and future is always ‘Lost & Found’
The past and future is always ‘Lost & Found’
The past and future is always ‘Lost & Found’
The past and future is always ‘Lost & Found’.

VERSE 2
I’m Lost, I’m buried, so I burrowed
Two days before what is tomorrow
One step ahead, two steps behind
Always in two frames of mind
Dusty books, faded looks
Photographed thoughts were took
Underneath a naked state
Not everything in life is fake.

BRIDGE

CHORUS

BRIDGE 2
Lost at a cost, but hide in a pride
Found with a sound, out from the inside
Lost causes, no applauses please
Let the past be….

My very first logged set of lyrics (1989)  but I have added parts to this song since originally writing it. The vocals were reinforced on the chorus, but could have been sung better (in terms of pitch and sync).

One of my favourites.  Get the headphones on - good mix and a pumping tune that summarizes how I felt about routine life.  This song may not work when heard through speakers, but on headphones it sounds a lot better.

ANIMAL IN A CAGE

When I want to free my mind
I realise I am trapped
I want to look forward 
But keep looking back
On what I had 
And what I’ve got
Life ain’t that bad
Although it’s not a lot

It is time to change my life
I’m on the wrong track
I want space to prosper 
And that is what I lack
Where I have arrived 
And where I could have been
Are worlds, worlds apart
So it’s time to skip the scene.

Feel like an animal in a cage
I feel like an animal in a cage
Feel like an animal in a cage
Feel like an animal in a cage
Animal in a cage, animal in a cage
Animal in a cage, animal in a cage
Animal in a cage, animal in a cage
Animal in a cage, animal in a cage.

Compared to what could be 
It’s nothing like what should be
It’s all about survival
Even if in captivity
Like an animal facing extinction
Locked up in a cage 
What could be young and wild
May now become boring 'til old-age.

Animal in a cage, animal in a cage
Animal in a cage, animal in a cage
Animal in a cage, animal in a cage
Animal in a cage, animal in a cage.

In the space, this space I have 
I try to create 
But the more I try to focus 
The less people relate.

Time for imagination
And try to reach outside
And then gain attention
From the world from which I hide.

An animal in a cage
I feel like an animal in a cage
I feel like an animal in a cage
I feel like an animal in a cage
Animal in a cage, animal in a cage
Animal in a cage, animal in a cage
Animal in a cage, animal in a cage
Animal in a cage, animal in a cage.

Animal, animal, animal, animal, 
Animal, animal, animal, animal, 
Animal, animal, animal, animal, 
Animal, animal, animal, animal, 
Animal, animal, animal, animal, 
Animal, animal, animal, animal, 
                                         animal!

Animal In A Cage (Song 567)

Tunecode:  447738CR	
Lyrics from 1997 which were finally turned into a song and completed with vocals, on 28-06-2020.

Now I feel happy within
I get a guilt trip, I can’t win
I feel like a sinner, once I was a winner
It’s hard to be happy in a world that is sad
That’s life – too bad

I am guilt tripping on happiness
I am guilt tripping on happiness
I am guilt tripping on happiness
I am guilt tripping on happiness

Guilt’s getting heavy and it’s pulling me
Into a depression, my mind’s in recession
I was having fun It was annoying everyone
Jealousy of joy a bitter world’s become

I am guilt tripping on happiness
I am guilt tripping on happiness
I am guilt tripping on happiness
I am guilt tripping on happiness

Happiness is loathed by the sad
They’ve forgot what it is to be glad
So I go from high to low
That’s how the story goes
I guilt tripped and now I’m just another 
Sad git

I am guilt tripping on happiness
I am guilt tripping on happiness
I am guilt tripping on happiness
I am guilt tripping on happiness
I am guilt tripping on happiness
I am guilt tripping on happiness
I am guilt tripping on happiness
I am guilt tripping on happiness

Originally written with a James Bond theme in mind.  It was originally called 'A Bond For Life' and had lyrics.   To make this music more suitable for any action packed film then I have modified the music.  Amendments can still be made as necessary as I have all the master tracks and rights.

The Cosmic  (434-Tune)  *30-07-2021 Update*

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 and songwriting then let me know and ‘like’ where appropriate.  

I released my first album, 'Lost Property' in December 2019.  then by February I released 5 Best Of albums which 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.  

'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 recordings brief recording moments occurred and this album shows the results.  The recordings were 1999 - 2013.  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 very deep ones on the chorus).   The songs which I contributed to mostly were:  ‘Spare Time’ and ‘Southern Lady’ (and a slight influence on ‘I Can’t Take it').
