Before 30-09-2020 this was a badly recorded song but hopefully sounding like a better recording/mix.  A very quickly recorded song.  The lyrics were written for a specific singer but I sung it instead.  Vocals have been re-sung since original upload and more amendments to be made in the future.   To be re-recorded at some point,

Got the engine running 
It's time a do something 
Get the wheels a rolling 
Don’t know where we're going yet 

When we get a moving 
We'll be a cruising along 
And something will show 
Ready, steady, let's go

Now in the driving seat 
Going forward, time to meet 
Whatever we decide 
But for now we'll just drive 

Foot down 
Ain't gonna hang around 
Moving at last Into the vast
Looking out 
Seeing what's about 
If nothing catches the eye
Just enjoy the ride

Now in the driving seat 
Going forward, time to meet 
What ever we decide 
But for now we'll just drive 

At this point we'll slow down 
Pullover, what have we found? 
Not sure what we need, or where to arrive 
Should we plot our route, or just continue to drive? 

Drive! drive drive drive 
Drive! drive drive drive 
Drive! drive drive drive 
Drive! drive drive drive 

Whatever comes, comes 
Whatever goes, goes 
But when in the driving seat
We can decide what we meet 
And when the journey is complete
Time to jump back Into the driving seat

Now in the driving seat 
Going forward, time to meet 
What ever we decide 
But for now we'll just drive

Now in the driving seat 
Going forward, time to meet 
What ever we decide 
But for now we'll just drive

Tunecode:  447738CQ
This is an updated version of 'All Or Nothing Kind Of Man' which was released on 'Lost Property'.   it's same tune and riff but just a slightly different style and cleaner production, and a fuller piano solo in the middle.  This is the 2and version of this song and was uploaded on 22-08-2020 to replace the first version.

Nothing too little and nothing too much 
In the middle and never lose touch 
With my finger in every pie 
I can remain a happy guy

I am... the man in the middle 
I’m an in-the-middle kind of man 
I am... the man in the middle 
I am a in-the-middle kind of man, yes I am 

I am the man in the middle 
I am the man in the middle 
I am the man in the middle 
I am an in-the-middle kind of man, yes I am

Nothing too shallow, nothing too deep 
Simple pleasure is all that I seek 
And now I go with the flow 
And with whatever comes or goes

I am the man in the middle 
I’m an in-the-middle kind of man 
I am the man in the middle 
I’m a in-the-middle kind of man, yes I am 

I am the man in the middle 
I am the man in the middle 
I am the man in the middle 
I am the in-the-middle kind of man, yes I am 

In the past I was O.T.T
Ended-up where I didn’t wanna be 
Now I’m glad to be where I’m at 
And can say as a matter of fact 
I’m a man of leisure and not of greed 
And on pleasure I now feed 
Want no more than what I’ve got
Got what I need to hit the spot

I am now the man in the middle 
Know when to shoot and when to dribble 
Now no troubles, my life is in tact 
Score when I need to have an impact 
Ready whenever, whenever 
I am ready whenever that maybe

I am ready whenever that maybe

I am the man in the middle 
I’m an in-the-middle kind of man, yes I am 
I am the man in the middle 
I’m an in-the-middle kind of man, yes I am 

I am the man in the middle 
I am the man in the middle 
I am the man in the middle 
I am an in-the-middle kind of man, yes I am

Lyrics written in 2015 and may be featured in the 'Under The Influence Of...' album as well.

Love, love 
Love, love, love

Friendship is good 
But love is dramatic 
A life changing feeling 
That can be so fantastic 
Never know it’s coming 
But know when it shows 
It can’t be ignored 
Like a seed it will grow

Love, love love 
Is a wonderful thing 
Creating emotions 
Nothing else can bring 

Love, love
Love, love, love 

When it arrives 
The more you’ll desire 
Love is a drug 
That burns like a fire 
Fire gives warmth 
Comfort and energy 
But it can burn 
And become an enemy

Love, love 
Love is s a wonderful thing 
Creating emotions 
Nothing else can bring 
Love, love
Love, love, love

Love takes you high 
But can take you low 
Great when it’s present 
But painful when it goes

Love, love love
Is a wonderful thing 
Creating emotions 
Nothing else can bring 

Love, love love
Is a wonderful thing 
Creating emotions 
Nothing else can bring

Love, love love 
Is a wonderful thing 
Creating emotions 
Nothing else can bring 
Love, love love 
Love, love, love

It’s medicinal - music medication 
It’s medicinal - music medication 
It’s medicinal - music medication 
It’s medicinal - music medication

We earn to spend
We eat to be fed 
We look to see
Listen to hear what is said 
But

Sometimes things don’t make sense
Confusing, frustrating
Need educating 
Is it them, or you or me?
Eye to eye we cannot see 
Turn away, block all vision 
Accept difference and division 
Slip into another dimension 
My escape’s my medication

Think, write, think, sound 
Think outside the common ground 
Think, write, escape, break 
Where it leads to is what it takes 

It’s my medication
It’s my medication

It’s medicinal, it’s my medication
It’s medicinal in my situation 
Turning negativity into stimulation 
And commendably leads to recovery

It’s medicinal - it’s my medication 
It’s medicinal - it’s my medication 
It’s medicinal - it’s my medication 
It’s medicinal - it’s my medication

Medication! 
It’s medicinal in my situation 
Turning negativity into stimulation 
And commonly leads to recovery

My medication! 
It’s medicinal in my situation 
Turning negativity into stimulation 
And commonly leads to recovery

We earn to spend, we eat to be fed 
We look to see, listen to hear what is said, but

Verse Sometimes things don’t make sense 
Confusing, frustrating, 
Need educating 
Is it them, or you and me 
Eye to eye we cannot see 
Turn away, block all vision 
Accept difference and division 
Slip into another dimension 
My escape’s my medication
My medication 
My Medication 
My medication 

It’s medicinal - music medication 
It’s medicinal - music medication 
It’s medicinal - music medication 
It’s medicinal - music medication.

It's My Medication (Song 906)  *16-12-2020 Remix*

Tunecode:  447738CM	
A quick recording of lyrics written in  1995.  Music created on 27-03-2020.  Vocals updated on 04-04-2020.  Latest mix done on 16-06-2020.

People say I’m crazy 
Just living in a dream 
But life isn’t always 
Quite as easy as it seems 

So are my dreams crazy? 
Am I crazy after all? 
Maybe, or more so 
Maybe not at all

To think realistic 
Ain’t realistic at all 
I’ll continue dreaming 
Whether regarded as a fool 

I feel you’ve gotta reach 
Reach for your desires 
Forget those who knock you 
Keep aiming for things higher

People say I’m crazy
 Just living in a dream 
But life isn’t always 
Quite as easy as it seems 
So are my dreams crazy? 
Am I crazy after all? 
Maybe, or more so 
Maybe not at all

The strange thing is 
While living in my dreams 
It all seems apparent 
And is now happening

For better or worse 
Dreams come first 
And the good will always shine through

Nearly there 
I’m gonna see it through 
Until it’s reality 
And my dreams become true 

People say I’m crazy 
Just living in a dream 
But life isn’t always 
Quite as easy as it seems 
So are my dreams crazy? 
Am I crazy after all? 
Maybe, or more so 
Maybe not at all

Between dreams 
Between dreams and reality! 
Between dreams 
Between dreams and reality! 
Between dreams 
Between dreams and reality! 
Between dreams 
Between dreams and reality! 

People say I’m crazy 
Just living in a dream 
But life isn’t always 
Quite as easy as it seems 

So are my dreams crazy? 
Am I crazy after all? 
Maybe, or more so 
Maybe not at all

To think realistic 
Ain’t realistic at all 
I’ll continue dreaming 
Whether regarded as a fool 

You’ve gotta reach up
Reach for your desires 
Forget those who knock you 
Keep aiming for things higher

People say I’m crazy 
Just living in a dream 
But life isn’t always 
Quite as easy as it seems 

So are my dreams crazy? 
Am I crazy after all?

Maybe not at all

Well, the first song written in 1994.  I chose to record this song because I never did properly record it back in the 90's so thought it's about time I did.   Written when redundancy was looming I think, after being stuck in the same job for over 9 years.

I wanna go 
To places that I’ve never known 
I wanna see things 
That I’ll never be shown 
You only live once, gotta take a chance
Can’t wait for it to come 
No good dreaming if it’s something you believe in 
It’s gotta be done -  from the cage I’m on the run

I’m gonna get out 
And find what it’s all about 
Gonna experience feelings 
That I’ve never felt 
Life’s a test and you need to progress 
And find what you wish you had 
Need to glad, don’t wanna be sad 
So I’m looking for fun 
From the cage I’m on the run

Freedom seeker! 
Freedom seeker! 
Life to me seems bleak 
Unless I go out to seek 
Freedom! 
Freedom! 
Freedom! 
Freedom! 
Freedom seeker! 
Freedom seeker! 
Freedom seeker! 
Freedom seeker! 

You can call me a cynic, but it’s how I see it 
When stuck in the cogwheels of time and space
In the working place 
The only time I show my face 
No time for anything, so things have gotta change 
The working life’s fine, but I feel it isn’t mine 
Feels like I’m doing time, living like the sun shines 
I’ve gotta move, gotta prove
That I’m not stuck in a groove 
So I feel the time has come 
From the cage I’m on the run

Freedom seeker! 
Freedom seeker! 
Life to me seems bleak
Unless I go out to seek 
Freedom! 
Freedom! 
Freedom! 
Freedom! 
Freedom seeker
Freedom seeker
Freedom seeker 
Freedom seeker

This was recorded from from scratch on 25-04-2020 but original solo added the day after on this track.  A song I introduced to Innovator but was amended to suit the style of the band (was called 'Spare Time'.  This is the original way I wrote the song but never managed to record it back in 2009 when it was first created (but tried).  It was the first tune to enter my head after a long break from music.   This was called 'Spare Time' but changed due to having been called this on the Innovator album in a different layout and style.

Spare time goes to waste 
Stuck in a rut in the same place 
Going nowhere - lacking in drive 
Sit around moaning ‘bout everything in life
We need a break or we’ll break down 
New things need to be found 
Seem to have lost the will to progress 
All efforts seem to lead to stress

We need to see who we are 
What we are and can be 
Enjoy what we do 
Gain belief and achieve 
And through happiness, succeed

In time prevent decline 
Less TV and use our minds 
Start to think and create 
Life’s too short to hesitate 

Let’s start to motivate 
Brain engage, get in the mood 
It is time for all of us 
To prove life can be good 
Another day and I fear 
That the end is drawing near 
Got to stop and think clear 
Things ain’t as bad as they appear 
Look back at what we enjoyed 
Revitalise if not destroyed 
What was good we shouldn’t avoid 
All hopes should be deployed. 

Spare time we should embrace 
And time never ever waste 
If fed up refuel desire 
The more we do we less we tire
Now we look back in time 
And this is what we find 
What has gone can come back 
When we discover what we lack

We need to see who we are 
What we are and can be 
Enjoy what we do 
Gain belief and achieve 
And through happiness, succeed

We need to see who we are 
What we are and can be 
Enjoy what we do 
Gain belief and achieve 
And through happiness, succeed

We need to see who we are 
What we are and can be 
Enjoy what we do 
Gain belief and achieve 
And through happiness, succeed

We grieve for the deceased
And pray for the dying
One big army
Together we are trying to
Stay alive
Hoping to succeed
Doing what we need
To enable recovery

When times are tough
We all need each other
One big army
To aid recovery
In whatever capacity
We can.

It takes a tragedy
For universal harmony
One big army
No longer enemies
Fighting in unity
Battling atrocity
To continue to exist
And maintain humanity

When times are tough
We all need each other
One big army
To aid recovery
In whatever capacity
We can

A deadly enemy
An undercover killer
Invisible to the eye until it gets inside
Can only protect and deal with the effects
This world maybe never beat it
But hopefully not be defeated
Survive until it finally
Retreats and fades away

When times are tough
We all need each other
One big army
To aid recovery
In whatever capacity
We can

But when we recover we’ll need each other still
To rebuild the industries and maintain stability
But will everything change? Will we be better people?
Or be the same as we used to be?
Will gang wars still occur?
Death, poverty and theft?
D & D behaviour, Saturday fatalities
Marriage and divorce and adultery

Hopefully life will
Become better
For everyone
In the end

Social distancing creates long queues
Online
But if the internet goes wrong
What will then become?
Will life be better or worse
In the long run?

We're at war
But not with each other
One big army
Aiding recovery

We’re at war but not with each other
One big army aiding recovery
In whatever capacity
That we can
We’re at war but not with each other
One big army aiding recovery
In whatever capacity
That we can
In whatever capacity
That we can
In whatever
Capacity
We can

But what is the future plan?
For now we live in limbo
And manage to do 
The best that we can.

This was a poem I wrote in the late 80's or early 90's originally.  It was not confirmed 'complete' for a while as it only viewed life from a very young perspective.  Would have been a good song to have been recorded by the 
'Wicked Babies' if we'd developed into a band.   

I recently tried to extend this 'Life' theme in a song called, 'N.E.W.S.'. The first was version 'Life As We Know It' and the 2nd was 'Lost In Life'.

Life is a fusion
Of imagination and disillusion
The first answers we find
We see when we’re half blind
All the results
Then widen our vision
The vision, the vision
The vision that creates our minds

Events that we see
From varying degrees
Pictures of scenes
Of things that have been
Reflected on the minds
As focussed through the eyes
The eyes, the eyes
The eyes that create our guise
And lives

Facts are intrusions
On our earlier forgone conclusions
Once focussing on the ground
But now looking all around
The more our results
The more we make decisions
Decisions, decisions
Decisions that decide our fate

Life, we live, learn and die

Here is another old 1998 song.   It may be changed slightly in due course, but this is the 31-05-2020 recording and mixed on 01-06-2020.

I’m in a maze
Don’t know where to go
Don’t know which way to turn
No openings seem to show

I’ve gone down many roads
That lead to dead ends
All I seem to be doing
Is going around the bend

Life
It’s a maze in
Life
It’s doing my head in
Life
Don’t know where to begin
Life
Get me out this maze I’m in

Some say life’s amazing
It’s a maze in life
Will I ever escape
Or forever trapped inside?
Some say life’s amazing
But not so much for me
I’m trapped in the middle
Of not where I should be
Not where I should be
Not where I should be
Not where I should be
Not where I should be

Life
It’s a maze in
Life
It’s doing my head in
Life
Don’t know where to begin
Life
Get me out this maze I’m in
Life
It’s a maze in
Life
It’s doing my head in
Life
Don’t know where to begin
Life
Get me out this maze I’m in

Lyrics written 30 years ago and just decided to finally record it.  I had worked out the chords when I first wrote it but just never got around to recording it.

I’m tired of analysing life 
Like many, more than any, myself 
We all ask the question, “Why are we here?” 
We’ll be asking forever and it still won’t be clear

And I’m sure and I trust that we’ve learnt from the past 
And that love holds the key to the door to eternity 
And I’m sure and I trust that we’ve learnt from the past 
And that love holds the key to the door to eternity

The meaning of life is a big mystery 
But now we are here understand 
That realisation of utilisation 
Of the resources we have, or are given, is a must

And I’m sure and I trust that we’ve learnt from the past 
And that love holds the key to the door to eternity 
And I’m sure and I trust that we’ve learnt from the past 
And that love holds the key to the door to eternity

Independence can be good 
But has adverse effects I suspect 
Not just to people, but to countries as well 
If things remain the same then time will surely tell... 
Time will surely tell...

But I’m sure and I trust that we’ve learnt from the past 
And that love holds the key to the door to eternity 
But I’m sure and I trust that we’ve learnt from the past 
And that love holds the key to the door to eternity 

Sure and I trust that we’ve learnt from the past 
And that love holds the key to the door to eternity 
Sure and I trust that we’ve learnt from the past 
And that love holds the key to the door to eternity
Sure and I trust that we’ve learnt from the past 
And that love holds the key to the door to eternity 
Sure and I trust that we’ve learnt from the past 
And that love holds the key to the door to eternity

I’m tired of analysing life 
Like many, more than any, myself 
We all ask the question, “Why are we here?” 
We’ll be asking forever and it still won’t be clear

Was meant to be in more of a rock style when lyrics written in 1992 but decided to turn it into this style instead (whatever that is!!).

We’ll all stars in our own right
Some just shine a brighter light
Some can’t be seen
But they’re somewhere in the night

Shine a light in the sky
For the ones time passed by
To all the bright survivors
That never caught the eye

We’re all stars, we’ll keep shining
In ourselves we are surviving
We’ll stay high and keep trying
Until we shoot and gone
Shine on

We’re all stars but so far
No-one’s seen who we are
We hide in the depths of time
But shine from afar

They seem to be like mite
Tiny specks of light
But they’re distant forms of energy
Far greater and more bright

We’re all stars, we’ll keep shining
In ourselves we are surviving
We’ll stay high and keep trying
Until we shoot and gone
Shine on

We’re all stars, we’ll keep shining
In ourselves we are surviving
We’ll stay high and keep trying
Stars, we’ll keep shining
In ourselves we are surviving
We’ll stay high and keep trying
Until we shoot and gone

We’re all stars, we’ll keep shining
In ourselves we are surviving
We’ll stay high and keep trying
Until we shoot and gone
Shine on

We’re all stars, we’ll keep shining
In ourselves we are surviving
We’ll stay high and keep trying
Until we shoot and gone
Shine on

All Stars - Shine On!

An idea I had a while ago regarding the two types of blue.  These lyrics were written in July 2020 and music created soon after.   Vocal amendments have been made a few times and probably a few more.   This could be the final mix now.

Two shades of blue
When I think of you
Two shades of blue
When I think of you

When it comes to us
What are we to do?
It’s like an ocean
And adventure or a view
When apart sad and dry
When together we could get wet
Feel the urge to enter
Or live with regret

Two shades of blue
Feelings I have for you
Together I think deep
Apart just a memory
Two shades of blue

Without, no doubt
I feel like singing the blues
Clouds appear, but when you’re near
There’s better things to do
The outlook is brighter
Feel good inside
Wanna jump on in
When you’re by my side

Desire craves for more
A different blue than before

Two shades of blue
Feelings I have for you
Together I think deep
Apart, just a memory

Two shades of blue
Feelings I have for you
Together I wanna dive deep
Apart, I dream of us on the beach
Two shades of blue
Two shades of blue
Two shades of blue

Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy

Time for a decision
A big one to make
Take the money and run
Could be a mistake
Head into the unknown
Or stay where I am
But things are a changing
So this is my plan.

Time for change
Time for pastures new
Find something better
For me to do
But where shall I go
And what shall I do?

Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy

My decision’s made
I signed on the line
Time to move on
And utilise the time
To find what I need
A better life for me
Time to find myself
And where I should be.

May need a little help
Is there anybody there
Who can show the way
I have time to spare
I have money saved
But no real income
I need to spend wisely
And not regret what I’ve done.

Voluntary redundancy

First day of trying to record this song.  Music created on 08-08-2020 and vocals done on 09-08-2020.  As usual the vocals will be improved as time goes on.

New year once again
Another end, another start
A new outlook, a new decade
New decisions to be made
And action to be took
How does the future look?
2020 vision, 2020 Vision

New year once again
Time to amend and improve
We’re making major moves
Brexit has now been approved
Leaving EU maybe strange
But it’s time for change!
2020 vision

2020 vision - things are so clear
2020 vision - clearly a mystery
2020 vision - will things develop or decline?
'2020 Vision' in my mind
What will be will be
2020 vision - c’est la vie

Times are a changing
For better or worse
Climate change is still a threat
Floods and fires to expect
Ozone layer diminishing
Or in self repair?
Will the world unite or fight?
We live in fear

2020 vision - things are so clear
2020 vision - clearly a mystery
2020 vision - will things develop or decline?
'2020 Vision' in my mind
What will be will be
2020 vision - c’est la vie

Wrote these lyrics in the same week as watching Captain Tom being interviewed by Piers Morgan.   Created the music soon after and this is the result of 19-09-2020's practice session.

Young Tom Moore was an officer in the war
Back in '39
Serving Queen and country whilst in the army
On the front-line

Never been a man like him before
Captain Tom Moore
Never been a man like him, before
That is for sure

"Tomorrow will be a better day"
Tom would always say
He hadn't an easy life, but he'd managed to survive
For over a century

Never been a man like him before
Captain Tom Moore
Never been a man like him before
That is for sure

An achiever, a fighter, a giver, a survivor
Full of positivity
It's fair to say and I'm sure you'll agree
Captain Tom lives forever in our hearts
And in history

He gained love from far, wide, and above
What he ever dreamed
Just a family man doing the best he can
But the future was greater than it seemed

He's a hero of our time
Modest and honest and Tom we promise
You will be remembered forever 
And ever in time

Never been a man like him before
Captain Tom Moore
Never been a man like him, before
That is for sure

Never been a man like him before
Captain Tom Moore
Never been a man like him, before
That is for sure

Here is the poem modified into a shorter version so it become a reasonable length song.

It was goodbye
From me to you
Time to go
The high that was
May never ever show again my friend
Now furloughed.

Now we hide
Away inside
Caged apart
We do to survive
A mental test, urges suppressed
Now furloughed

Distanced, segregated
Trapped inside, frustrated
But safe alone 
In our homes
Communicate by mobile phones only
Now furloughed

2020 was looking good
Plans were finally 
Going to plan - how they should
But now reflecting
On what could be or maybe not...
Now furloughed

Thoughts had grown, feelings remained
Close, but deep down inside we are going insane
Captive but free from danger 
And fear, but too far from near
Until we reappear but
Now furloughed

Normal isn't normal
Nothing is clear 
Reality isn't really
Real anymore
We live in hope, but hope can't give
We try to cope and live
While furloughed

Will we ever see the end
Of this pandemic my friend
Apart we stay in our bubbles 
We grow apart, not knowing
Anything
While furloughed

While furloughed
While furloughed
While furloughed

While furloughed
While furloughed
While furloughed

While furloughed
While furloughed
While furloughed

While Furloughed

Lyrics written and a few days later the music created on 29-09-2020.

I'm a man on a mission
With a 2020 vision
Smiling with adversity
No-one can understand
No-one can see
What's going on in my head
No-one but me

New world
New beginnings
New outlook
Big decisions
Which only I can make
But sometimes in life
Chances you've gotta take.

Time will tell
If right or wrong
It's not about where I am
It's about where I belong
The destination is close
The journey was long
Time will tell, the time is now
Very soon

If all fails
I can handle that
With failure I'm familiar
As a matter of fact
Sitting on the fence
Misses opportunities
But ain't gonna do
Something that ain't really me

Time will tell
If right or wrong
It's not about where I am
It's about where I belong
The destination is close
The journey was long
Time will tell, the time is now
Very soon

I'd rather fail doing
What creates pleasure
Than succeeding at what
Is a meaningless endeavour
Too many wasted years
Playing safe in first gear
With time and money
My vision is clear

Time will tell
If right or wrong
It's not about where I am
It's about where I belong
The destination is close
The journey was long
Time will tell, the time is now
Very soon

Time will tell
Time will tell
Time will tell

Time will tell
Time will tell
Time will tell

Time will tell
If right or wrong
It's not about where I am
It's about where I belong
The destination is close
The journey was long
Time will tell, the time is now
Very soon

Time Will Tell

Time Will Tell  (Song 943) *16-12-2020 Version*

Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy

Time for a decision
A big one to make
Take the money and run
Could be a mistake
Head into the unknown
Or stay where I am
But things are a changing
So this is my plan.

Time for change
Time for pastures new
Find something better
For me to do
But where shall I go
And what shall I do?

Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy

My decision’s made
I signed on the line
Time to move on
And utilise the time
To find what I need
A better life for me
Time to find myself
And where I should be.

May need a little help
Is there anybody there
Who can show the way
I have time to spare
I have money saved
But no real income
I need to spend wisely
And not regret what I’ve done.

Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy

Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy
Voluntary redundancy

Time for change
Time for pastures new
Find something better
For me to do
But where shall I go
And what shall I do?

Voluntary Redundancy

Voluntary Redundancy  (Single)  (0940)

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').
