The melancholy is transmitted from the fashionable song and it is wonderful 🌙🍸🎶

@mskathyfreeman Thanks so much for listening and your kind feedback.

knowing the person you turned out to be --there never was anything in it for me   --that's on the Leonard Cohen level!

This playlist is a sonic journey that stays on the more tame side with very expressive pieces that are piano dominated. 

The Acoustics start it off with a long journey of a song that is sparse and plays with a soundscape foundation with sparse elements that slowly evolve over and alongside hypnotic drums and chant like vocal parts.  Abrasive synths coming in and out add an element of surprise and urgency.

Next is Alec Tunks with a mystical, nocturne like tune that shows what power can emerge from simplicity. His composition echoes some of the classical greats like Chopin and Debussy and could definitely yank some tears out. Personally my favorite piano style and I could listen on repeat

third is one of my favorite songs on soundcloud which is Home by Skyline tigers. The loose kit sound creates a sparse groove that allows a swirl of piano and pads to accommodate Her gorgeous emotive voice that evokes nostalgia and comfort. She really did capture the bittersweet dichotomy of feeling perfectly safe and comfortable at home but also knowing it will never feel the same as it did when we were young and carefree.

Next track "the Pattern" words will never satisfy. The vocal Mix of SLT and Last relic is a thing to behold.  The lyrics along with *thommos* arrangement  create a quietly epic and melancholic commentary on the mysteriousness of the Universe and our journey through the seemingly infinite patterns we navigate to get closer to "heaven" and or the place of ultimate unity. (my personal take on it) The thing that stuck out to me was how well this song captured that grander story line that weaves in and out of our daily awareness and our own concerns about whether or not we are even on the right path.  When trying to find the correct word all I could think of was 'ineffable' and how well this song makes me ponder on the ineffable of the greater origins of this experience of life.

Next song "song 955" (WOW THATS A LOT OF SONGS) is a contemporary classical piece on the warm strings of a nylon string guitar. Classical elements on acoustic guitar warm the heart and sooth the soul. This particular piece calls to a lovely blue skied day but not without the memory of hardships and the pain experienced to arrive at a temporal bliss. Guillaume Lecointe skill is impossible to deny. 

More interpretations and descriptions soon! Gotta do stuff

Shake It
I wake up before the dawn
Watch the sunrise as I drive along
Find a good song on the radio
And start off another day

Will it ever cease to wonder
Every second, come what may
Just when I think I’ve seen it all
Life simply takes my breath away

Can ya hear the calling from way on high
Listen closely now and you can hear em say

Come on and shake it
Come on and shake it
Shake your life on up a bit

Come on now...

Now as it all goes, racing by
Leaves an imprint etched upon my mind
And realise it’s just a matter of time
Before it slowly slips away

So I think I’ll just take a ride
Out into the countryside 
Just need to clear the mind
And get me a little bit of fresh air

Can ya hear the calling from way on high
Listen closely now and you can hear em say

Come on and shake it
Come on and shake it
Shake your life on up a bit

La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la

Oh yea
Oh yea

Devil’s Smile

Well I’m a man of distinction, a man of means
And I lay claim to everything I see
Got this world in the palm of my hand
I’m on a mission and I got a plan
And as I rise all fall for the Devil’s smile
Devil’s smile

Well I take from the poor and I give to the rich
Yea and that’s ok cause you know, well life just a bitch ain’t it
I’m the hand of God one of the chosen few
And I was called to reign over you
As I rise all fall for the Devil’s smile
Devil’s smile

So¯\_(ツ)_/¯lo

Wrapped in a flag, cross in my hand
I'll leave my mark scorched across the land
Nothing to sacred for me to screw
You know I’ll get mine and I’ll get yours too

Cause I’m your public servant, the peoples choice
For the right price I’ll be your voice
Do what I want, commit any sin
And all you fools just vote me back in

Got this world in the palm of my hand
I’m on a mission and I got a plan
And as I rise all fall for the Devil’s smile
Devil’s smile
Devil’s smile

Dreaming by the fire...

Lyrics
Cold, stormy evening
Free my mind to unwind
It's my time for feeling
Safe and warm
Out of site
Winter night's revealing 
Memories, creeping in like thieves

Stare at the ceiling
Taking flight, in my mind
To a time when we were young and free
Memories breathe serenity into my dreams
Dreams of liberty

By my fire
By my fire

Hey

My home is where I am
My home is love
My home is where I am
My home is love
My home is where I am
My home is love
My home is where I am
My home is love

Home for the evening
Free my mind to unwind
To a time where we were so happy
Young and free
We can leave and turn this fantasy, to reality

By my fire
By my fire

Hey

Home

His world was destroyed by the death of Aiko.  He spent his nights sitting by Tokyo Bay, listening to the ghost of her, contemplating their reunion.

Tōkyōwan No Himeko Aiko

As I sat on the drop off of the edge right there....

The Sea

Little Echo  Ian Read Apr 2019 (remastered Jun 2020)

The hint of your perfume is still in your drawer
The yellow umbrella is still by the door
In muffled reflection the shadows of stories
Come back from the walls of this empty space

Down at the market they ask where you are
I start to explain but I never get far
Before drowning the whole thing again at the bar
But I’m hearing again what you said to my face

Little echo, coming back to me endlessly,
Little echo, coming back to me endlessly,

Knowing the person you turned out to be
There never was anything in it for me
Now on reflection I struggle to see
A drop of remorse for your cheating

The hope of redemption decaying away,
The song of the bell at the end of the day
Rings in the well of the things that you say
Always repeating

Little echo, coming back to me endlessly,
Little echo, coming back to me endlessly,

It hardens my heart when I hear it again,
The tone of your voice a familiar refrain,
Your hollow apologies all sound the same,
Little echo

Oh sick sorry angel reprising your song
Your pale band of sorrows all tagging along
Now I don’t have to listen, to reasons for wrong
For reasons that I can no longer explain

There isn’t a place for your shoes in my hall
Or a place for your picture no more on my wall
Or an ear for your lying whenever you call
That’s a place you can’t ever regain

Little echo, coming back to me endlessly,
Little echo, coming back to me endlessly,
Little echo, coming back to me endlessly,
Little echo

I wrote this a long time ago and asked Last Relic Studio if he would be interested in working on it. Not only did he agree but without me knowing, also managed to get the wonderful Skyline Tigers involved. Their voices work so well together and I am so pleased with how this has turned out. Massive thanks to both of them for everything. This song is for you, Lisa.

The Pattern (feat Skyline Tigers And Last Relic Studio)

After working with some very talented artists recently, I guess I needed to prove to myself that I could still work alone & write new things. Hence, 'Red Zero', which is not exactly house, nor dance, nor pop. In fact, I have no idea what it is  but I hope you like it and play it LOUD!

Play on Spotify now!

WhenWeAllGetTogether

Like a change in the weather
There’s a storm on the rise
All around the world now
In people’s hearts and minds

When we all get together you know it’s true
There ain’t nothing we can’t do
For me, for you and the whole world too
Yea the whole world too

You know if doesn’t have to be
A world of rich and poor
Somewhere in the middle now
Is the key to evermore

This world could be a paradise
If we all could learn to play nice
It’s time to start making up
Stop trying to blow each other up

When we all get together you know it’s true
There ain’t nothing we can’t do
For me, for you and the whole world too
Yea the whole world too

Solo

I know it sounds a bit naive 
But think of it like this
If something isn’t done soon
Well we’ll all be in a fix

So come on lets talk it over
Find some common ground
Make this world a better place
Spread the love around, spread it all around
Then you know there will be
Peace, love and harmony
For me, for you and the whole world too
Yea the whole world too
And the whole world too

Then you know there will be
Peace, love and harmony
For me, for you and the whole world too
Yea the whole world too
And the whole world too

When we all get together 
When we all get together 
When we all get together

WhenWeAllGetTogether

An expression of the shock and despair when covert first impacted our lives
