It Is What It Is

The friends accompanying me on this one are the sea, the shingle beach and the seagulls on Brighton seafront!

Lyrics (what the sea seemed to be saying)

Don’t you be afraid
There’s nothing to fear
Life is always good
Love is always here

I am in you all
I am in your heart
Longing for love
I’m in every part…

…of the universal being
willing us to be
and you are universal
You are beautiful and free

I can hear your voice
speaking endless tongues
Dance forever
to destiny’s drums

And with every beat you’re curving through
a moment of change to a meaningful whole
and the arcs illustrate to me
you are my centre of gravity
You are beautiful and free

Beautiful And Free

Inspired by Maurice Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin - No.4 Rigaudon 
Mary Jane joins our midnight session, adding the fifth guitar and helping spirits soar.

Midnight Jam

Original song recorded live on my Grandmother's old Baldwin piano that she gave me. This song came quickly late one night during a dark time in my life. Reality can be so hard. Piano and vocals only using a Tascam Portacapture x8. Thanks for listening!:) This is my first SoundCloud upload! History!

Blue Eyes

The climb was actually fun
But now I'm coming undone
Way up here is not what it seems 
Reality has darkened my dreams
So much 

The weight within my mind waves crashing in 
The air is thin God help me breathe again 
Oh this battle I cannot win 
Without you Oh you're the one
That made my eyes blue

I miss that beautiful Lilly 
All alone hidden deep in the valley
A million moons ago since I left that place
Take me back down there so I can fall on my face
Oh I'm so bound up here

The weight within my mind waves crashing in 
The air is thin God help me breathe again 
Oh this battle I cannot win 
Without you Oh you're the one
That made my eyes blue

Oh my eyes they dont feel blue up here
Oh my eyes they don't feel blue up here 
Anymore 

Please... make them blue again

Beneath The Velvet Alt Ver

This is an homage to all the cultures that have contributed to my musical journey so far. It is also a bass solo sandwich. Most of the track is a soup of different loops I found on loopcloud. I take credit for the production and the playing of the double bass. The composition is original. All rights reserved. I have a license to use the loops in the composition.

The bass you are hearing is a Shen SB 80 Fully Laminate with 39.5" scale length. It's a 5/8 size. The strings are all Savarez Corelli Medium long scale. The G string is a nickel wound unlike the others which are steel. I recorded the bass with a RODE NT1 Signature Series condenser facing the center of the top approximately 2 feet from the bridge tip. The mic is fed into an SSL2 audio interface with the 4K emulation engaged. There is some subtle eq and a little reverb on the bass track. No compression or limiting on the bass track. There is light compression on the overall mix.
