This song is inspired by George Orwell's book Coming up for Air. Suppose I ought to go and read it.

Coming Up For Air

A thieving from Nathan Ehrnman's track "Flint"
https://nathaniel-ehrnman.bandcamp.com/album/tread-lightly

He had (I think) 3 tracks of various guitars, I added 2 guitar tracks, a field recording of a thunderstorm, and made 2 midi tracks of Nathan's tracks and converted those to both LABS and Alchemy (@pple's version, not the original one)
Oh, and some vocalizer tracks...

There's a cold wind
blowing through me
And my thoughts
ain't so tender

I'd always hoped
you'd reconsider
But your lies
flowed like a river

You're just a digger
you're just a taker
And now my thoughts
ain't so tender

I ain't whistlin
past no graveyard
I ain't standin
neath no ladders

I'm just waitin
shotgun and D-ought
For you and him
to just step out

And I'm not carin
what comes after
I'm not caring
if I get caught

You won't be
lying anymore
You'll just be
lying in the cold

“Walk Softly and Go Far”  by Luke

Thank you for your interest in my music. And I'm glad you're reading this. I know there will be many turning points in your life. I'm going through a not-so-good transition right now, and it's exhausting to accept it. I was in that mood when I was playing the guitar and this is what I came up with....hahaha

Dark Clouds And Mental Landscapes

focal point

I was going through the Tony Harris collection and came across this little gem he'd written years ago , so I asked him if I could have a go at a complete revamp , he said yes and this is the result , I hope you like it as much as I do ! On the 22nd is a super song with Gaz and Nat , and on the 1st of September is my first outing with fantastic German orchestral composer Axel Menningen , I'm doing a duet with R and B singer Kim . Working on a new song with Axel and Charlotte at the moment , as usual it's all go ! Thank you so much for listening !

Born In The Country

Born In The Country ( Fox and Harris )

Floating Emotion

I shared a Latin Pop version of this song two years ago with vocals performed by our friend Richard John (thank you Richard).  Well, here is another version of the song which existed back then that was not pursued.  As I'm scrapping the barrels, thought I might as well give it a go.  This is Celtic folk approach with a different ending where I added an additional verse of new melody & lyrics.

One of my favourite compositions.  Just see what you think.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Let me lead you through the silver stars			
We can kiss under the moon			
And wrapped inside each others arms			
I can show how your path could be			
If you walk in peace and come along freely with me			
		
Watch the sun slip away into the night			
Hold each other till it goes out of sight			
Don't ever hide or stop thinking of me 			

(Chorus)			
I only want to be your secret dream			
No-one else can see, no-one else can dream			
When the sun comes up	and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you run inside my head			
Thoughts of all we shared			
			
If you like, we could dance under the rain			
Life will be full of magic as it begins to change			
I'm watching you thru my lattice window			
Behind the glass just like a shadow			
I can show you how I will guide your hand
	
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental break
 			
As you lay down alone and turn your head			
Feel the cold from your empty bed			
Close your eyes and keep thinking of me			
			
Have a secret dream		
No-one else can see			
No-one else can dream		
Only you can see			
When the sun comes up and I have to wake			
Thoughts of you run inside my head	
Thoughts of all we shared	

Watching you through my lattice window.......
       as the sun slips into the night.............
Watching you through my lattice window.......
       as the thoughts go out of sight

New Collaboration with the Multi-Talented Lou Osiavo ( Ian Greaves )
Please show him some love with all the brilliant work he does on Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/user-659662265
Lyrics :-
If it's working for you
Entitled to your 
Point of view
But it's not working 
For me
I would rather find the truth
No matter
What the scholars say
They don't 
Mean much these days

History
Don't reflect
And it 
Don't resonate
Brave new world
We found out
What this place
is about

If it's working for you
Entitled to your 
Point of view
But it's not working 
For me
I would rather find the truth
No matter
What the scholars say
They don't 
Mean much these days

Don't mean much these days

I did this song for Pride 2022, and I couldn't get it right until I added the Rhodes, and after that I just left it. It was never mixed properly, I had it way too hot going into the master, and the vocals were not done well. So I reworked it, I pulled it up a third, keeping and transposing the Rhodes MIDI track and warping the rhythm guitars as best as I could, and redoing the acoustic gtr and vocals. It's a little better now. I thought I would post it since the last few have been kind of downers lol

With my complete and heartfelt apology to Anastacia...

Here’s to the ones that feel like they don’t belong,
That are looking for a reason to keep hanging on
You’ve got a friend in me and you know that it’s so
And together we are stronger than you will ever know

If there’s a way to stand out you’ll find it
When it’s your time to shine you will blind them!

Now there’s a word going ‘round they’re tryna shut us down
Cause we don’t act like the others in their country club towns
And they’re spreading lies, they try to dehumanize
But they’re just putting us down to bring their selves up high

And we’ll never back down, we’re gonna stand our ground
And we won’t shut up, we’re gonna shout out loud

It’s our life and we’re gonna live it
They don’t have what it takes to break our spirit,
There’s a word that they hate, but they’re gonna hear it,
We’re gonna sing it out loud today, that word is,,,

Now it seems insane, they have so much to gain,
When they create some kind of drama just to smear our name,
We all have fear, and we all have pain,
But a little understanding goes a long, long way

And we’ll never back down, we’re gonna stand our ground
And we won’t shut up, we’re gonna shout out loud

It’s our life and we’re gonna live it
They don’t have what it takes to break our spirit,
There’s a word that they hate, but they’re gonna hear it,
We’re gonna sing it out from up above, that word is,,,
LOVE!

Love is the answer
Love brings understanding
Love pulls us together
It’s a word so demanding
Love wins over hate
It always prevails
Love tolerates,
Love never fails!
Love is what guides us,
It’s a beacon that blinds us
It will always finds us
Love will unite us!

i asked Stephen 

@texmex-shaman(TexMex Shaman) to add something to this already Strange Guitar-ish tune--Not one to shy away from a challenge, He delivered something appropriately and delightfully Quirkish in response much to my Delight.  So here it is Folks For Your listening pleasure--and a huge pre thank you to all those that do, and a special Thanks to Stephen for the music and the wonderful production Tweaks That took the whole production to another level--

The Pterodactyl and the Mongoose--featuring TexMex Shaman

This is the last one of 44 songs I wrote with my mom’s Spanish guitar in my university years, songs I’ve been arranging and posting to SC for the last 6 years (I’ve skipped 4 of them which will become a conceptual album soon).

I’m so glad to have https://soundcloud.com/janinelevinson’s help on polishing the English texts and lending her vocal and painting arts to such an important song for me.

Also must credit https://soundcloud.com/user-498459842 for kindly and freely mastering the track.
 
CANCIÓN TRISTE CUANDO ESTOY SOLO (SAD SONG WHEN I’M ALONE)

Canción triste cuando estoy solo, para que sepas que yo nunca me iré.
Canción triste por todo lo que amo, último recuerdo de lo que pudo ser.

Sad song when I'm alone, so that you know I will never be gone.
Sad songs for all I love, are the last reminders of my ancient glow.

Do you think that someone somewhere else would ever care that I was here?
Do you think a future living man will give a damn for you and me?
Who could he be?

¿Piensas que a alguien a quien no conocí le importará si estuve aquí,
o no estuve yo?
¿Piensas que alguien que viva después se acordará de ti o de mí?
¿Quién podrá ser?

Canción triste…

¿Piensas que una nueva vida de amor nos bastará para creer,
para sentir?
¿Acaso te importa lo que piense la gente de mis intereses para morir por mí,
para morir por mí?

Do you think another life of love will be enough for us to see,
for us to feel?
Do you care what people really think about my pride, and will you die,
will you die with me?

Sad song…

Canción triste cuando estoy solo (ft. Janine Levinson)

A singer-songwriter who cannot read notes, doesn't play much instruments except a little keyboard & guitar and considers singing as the most difficult part for him.

So in case you're wondering how a guy like this would sound, just spare some of your time for a listen.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
