The Lost & Found

Every song I have ever written (in numerical order) that has been recorded in some way or another.  The recordings may have been using a tape recorder, 4-tracker, camera mic, or computer recording software (Mixcraft and/or Logic X)  The places in which the recordings took place range from storerooms, bedrooms, living rooms, practice halls and even a recording studio (for the Protocol 3 Track Demo).

Way Above My Head

Tunecode:  532534EQ
The first song off of the 6 song release in 2011.  (Originally a tape recording).   The chords were played to me by Tim, the guitarist/vocalist, and I wrote the lyrics as he played them.   In his absence I created the rest of the track and he added guitar and vocals at a later date.

Way Above My Head  (0014) 2nd Full Version

Lyrics:   https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-lost-connection/how-long-will-it-take-song-002/1474225989331717/

This song has now been reloaded onto my Mixcraft Recording System and is now therefore a louder better mix.  Lyrics written in 1990, based on a girlfriend at the time.  Music only just composed and recorded on 17-09-2017 (and now on SoundCloud).

The lyrics were written with no tune in mind and the melody and style of the song was completely was established when I finally got around to recording it.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

I thought I'd clasped my sense of direction
And I thought the wind was on my side
The compass had been offered, I chose to accept
Offered as a present, but when it was unwrapped

It wasn't what I expected
But this gift I couldn't refuse
You may say it has no point, for now it has no bearing
I'll settle for no direction except for this life I'm sharing

How long will it take 'til we intimately speak?
How long will it take 'til we're alone in the weak?
How long will it take for the body to break free?
How long will it take? Will it take? Will it take?

My self commitments have been close to this day
But now it's time to let the roam free
To give me more time and allow room for change
But I find this room I'm in is really kind of strange

I don't want to be negative
Because hopeful signs are there
If I let this chance go by I'll never be the same
I'll regard it as a mistake with only myself to blame

How long will it take 'til we intimately speak?
How long will it take 'til we're alone in the weak?
How long will it take for the body to break free?
How long will it take? Will it take? Will it take?

I'm relying on time to take it's course
I'm allowing the time it takes
I value her presence when I'm with her each day
But a compass with no with no needle the future's hard to say 

How long will it take 'til we intimately speak?
How long will it take 'til we're alone in the weak?
How long will it take for the body to break free?
How long will it take? Will it take? Will it take?

Will my patience fail me? It's a limited resource
Will I repair the compass or maybe jut replace?
One likes to keep moving And time is standing still…
Either I go alone Or break the magnetic field 

How long will it take 'til we intimately speak?
How long will it take 'til we're alone in the weak?
How long will it take for the body to break free?
How long will it take? Will it take? Will it take?

How long will it take 'til we intimately speak?
How long will it take 'til we're alone in the weak?
How long will it take for the body to break free?
How long will it take? Will it take? Will it take?

How long will it take? How long will it take?
How long will it take? How long will it take?
How long will it take? How long will it take?
How long will it take? Will it take? Will it take?

Recorded at least 4 years ago with Tim Kerley on guitar and vocals only, but I have added two vocal tracks to it on 26th March 2018.  Poor quality recording but it’s the only thing we’ve done for a while.  If we improve it I will replace this recording.  It was originally written and recorded in the Wicked Babies duo in 1991.  Gotta admit it sounds terrible on my phone, but okay on my headphones through my computer.

Way Above My Head  (Song 014)  *New Vocal Mix*

Tunecode: 490640HP
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….

A very old song that I have finally reinterpreted 27 years later.   I never played any of the music on the original upload, but this time it's all me.  This is the first vocal version so it may be improved in due course.

This song has interesting lyrics.

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).
