Before - During - After!   COVID 19 caused loads of changes and this album is the result of the musical pursuits and progressions made in that time.  However, it does feature lyrics from over 30 years ago too, but most were written and recorded this year, or last year.

Whatever Happened

An old song recreated into a new one. Similar theme, but new lyrics co-written with Jodylynn Tevali.

Shattering

Shattering (Song 984)  Lyric Co-write  *06-05-2022 Update*

Written to the theme of 'If' presented the night before this was created.

Ifs And Buts

Ifs And Buts (Song 994)  *29-08-2022 Update*

Just a random song I wrote about no-one in particular.

The Best

The Best  (Song 996)

A new lyrical version of 'My Tribe' which was started within a lyrical co-write originally.  The music I created with 'What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor' as a reference track.

A thanks to people who I was originally collaborating with when this first began developing.

(Feel The Vibe)With This Tribe

(Feel The Vibe) With This Tribe  (Song 985)  *23-01-2022*

This is the 1st amended version of a tune which my mate and I jammed over 20 years ago.  A solo section is a new addition to this old idea.  It has been developed into much bigger tune than originally, and now has lyrics.  This will be the first song on Whatever Happened and probably a single too.  The other version features an extra bridge section and guitar.

Won't Stop

Won't Stop  (0971)  *22-07-2022 Update*

I Am Just Me

I Am Just Me (Song 1015)   (Single)

Lyrics written in 1990.  Thought it would be fun to record this as a song finally.

Golden Anniversary

Golden Anniversary  (0013) *27-01-2022 Update*

Just a controversial song reflecting on things that happen in life and trying to put people's opinions and beliefs into perspective.

What Is Justice?

What Is Justice?  (0974)  *16-08-2022 Update*

Here's a song that was created from lyrics originally written in 2018.  The music was created on 01-02-2022 and a full song structure created (and first recorded on 03-02-2022.

Fastest Man In The World  (Song 842) 06-08--2022 Update!

This has slightly different lyrics to the original version which was written in 2018.  Both versions were recorded in 2022.

I Don't Like What I Do

I Don't Like What I Do (2nd Version) (Song 851)  07-05-2022

A love you song with a difference, but written from the heart.

You  (Song 1020)  *12-04-2022 Update*

Inspired by food adverts that show food wanting to be eaten.  Sausage, baps - time for the onion man!  Loads of innuendos, as always and in this case onions do make people cry and hot dogs need sausage.

Hot Dog

Hot Dog  (Song 040) Mk.2  09-07-2022

The final song on the album - an updated version of the 1st song on the album and the oldest reincarnation of a jam session.  This temporary photo cover is the two of us, quite a few years before we decided to form a band (1977 approx).  Unfortunately, I do not have photos of us between the late 80's and 90's, which is the period when this tune was first jammed.

We Won't Stop!

We Won't Stop (The Lost & Found) (0971) •13-11-2022•

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.

Forever Together, You And Me

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

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 Battle Within

Beep! Beep!

Beep! Beep!  (Song 970)  21-12-2021

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').
