Wicked Babies: Reborn

Written at the beginning of the 1990s.  This was a track that needed to be reincarnated and Donna AI certainly did that.  This was about nobody in particular, just my young imaginative mind playing with  words and creating funny and/or interesting scenarios.

La' Linda  (0011)  ft. Donna AI

A new take on a song which was recorded back in 1991 during a practice session featuring just a singer and acoustic guitar.  Although totally different to the original this is an interesting  style.

True True Love  (0065)  ft. Donna AI   3rd Version

A crazy fictitious story which was written in 1992.  It was recorded in the Wicked Baby sessions, but the original recording was only recorded on a portable tape-recorder with vocals and keyboard (organ and drum beat).  This is an updated Donna AI version.

Yoghurt Lady (0096)  ft. Donna AI

This was originally written as a slow track and nearly recorded in a practice session back in 1993.  

I Need A Love  (0070)  ft. Donna AI

This was a fast piano tune back in the early 1990s.  Something that Donna AI would find very hard to replicate, so here is a slow version of the song, much less heavier than the Protocol one on my SoundCloud, but a fuller version than the Wicked Babies practice session.

Moonchild  (0027)  ft. Donna AI

This is a song I wrote back in the early 1990s.  It was recorded with Steve Emm on guitar and vocals and me playing the keyboard.   This is sung in a similar way but with different chords and in a different style through Donna AI.

Dream Girl  (0056)  ft. Donna AI

Goodbye (0101) ft. Donna AI

A powerful song about enlightenment - suddenly coming to your senses when somebody opens a door you never knew existed.  Everything then becomes apparent.  This will appear on my first AI album release (The Lost Connection - Wicked Babies  (AIM 1).

Realisation (0080)  ft. Donna AI. 2nd Version

A song that was released in 2024, but recorded by myself and Steve Emm in 2016.  This is a new Donna AI version.

Cheap New Book (0015) 2nd Version

https://www.youtube.com/@colinpyle9270

Another version of one of my favourite songs.  The first version was amazing, but was accidently removed from my Donna AI library so I created another version.  This is a chunkier rock sound.  It's about a guy trying to get back together with his ex but finds she has a new man and that's why she won't let him in.

Love Me!  (0004). ft. Donna AI

About trying to help a young lady through the bad times and her Dad getting the wrong impression.

In the Doghouse (0019)  ft Donna AI.  2nd Version

A song dripping in innuendos which isn't noticeable on first listen.

The Lonely Heart Hotel (0075)  ft. Donna AI.  2nd Version

This was written in 1990 and is the 2nd AI upload but the 4th attempt on 02-03-2025.  There were other good versions but this just got the upper hand.

Way Above My Head  (0014)  ft. Donna AI.  1st Version

This was written as a love song, but this style is more fitting for 'The Wicked Babies' memory.

I Love You More Than... (0010)  ft. Donna AI.  5th Version

A song from 1991.  I can't remember what inspired me to write this, but it was probably something to do with news of racism and thinking the worst of tramps on the streets.

Dark Survivor In No-Mans Land  (0045)  ft. Donna AI. 2nd Version

A song about losing a love one (based on water symbolising love)

Drought  (0026)  ft. Donna AI.  2nd Version

This is the second AI version of a very old song that was only ever attempted once, during a Wicked Babies practice session.

Peace Of Mind  (0030)  ft. Donna AI.  2nd Version

A song that started off more like a poem: a short story in 3 verses with an abstract kind of vibe.  It was played in various formats in the early 1990s but turned into 2 verses and a chorus and was plated twice, then the third verse again at the end.  This is the new AI version chosen I decided to upload.

Dry-Ice Memory  (0042)  ft. Donna AI.  2nd Version

Wicked Baby  (0016)  ft. Donna AI  2nd Version

Come Dawn...  (0041)  1st Version

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' was the last album release of 2020.  This contains the single 'Voluntary Redundancy' which is very significant in regard to the album and the year in general. 

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 my 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 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.  It is 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).
