Guiding light

Well I just don’t know where I’d be without you
Or if I’d be anywhere at all
And it chills me to the bone to think about it
When loneliness comes knocking at my door.

You’re the only one
Who truly knows me.
And yes, indeed you put up with a lot
And in return I’ve tried to do the right things.
But mostly more often than not.

You were still there for me
Wrong or right
When the end of days becomes the night.
When I can’t find my way through the darkness
Make no mistake.
You’re my guiding light.

Sometimes you can’t fix what’s been broken.
Then a man just has to just accept his fate.
But I thank the Lord above that you still love me.
To help me bear that crushing weight

And you’re there for me
Wrong or right
When the end of days becomes the night
When I can’t fight the way through the darkness:
Make no mistake
You’re my guiding light.

Make no mistake
You’re my guiding light

Make no mistake
you’re my guiding light

Guiding Light

Sea (Morcheeba cover A Capella)

Home recording of Chris and Jonathon Brenner. Yes we are actual brothers.

Mean Old World

Bit of a Rocker this one , just letting off a bit of steam !
Next one out on the 15th is a Country ballad where I actually play Lap Steel and a bit of Harmonica , a change from distorted guitar !
On the same date Charlie and the Fox have a double release , ooo !
Your support is outstanding , thank you so much !
This song is about getting the hell out of a place I really wasn't happy with , hope you like it !

I'll Be Gone

A song about waiting in line at the grocery store and trying to resist the urge to read the tabloids. I usually end up looking.

Tabloids

This is a song inspired by a wonderful poem of the same title that I came across on the web recently.  It's written by a guy named Christopher without further information (not me though).   I eventually took the liberty & converted it into a song.  I gave it a bit of a country feel and hope you would enjoy listening.

[LYRICS]
She looks into air, herself falling rain
Dripping coldness past, memories old pain.
Drops fall, the puddling her damp water-life.
Spiraling a mirror, self-lonely strife.

Clouds a-whorl, dark sky sheltering fair heart.
But how can she joy, while taking no part?
Covering cold soul, corona of defense.
Defying the stab of her fate's intents.

This is madness, she thinks in plaintive cry.
I'm here, on the cusp, of lay down and die.
What my destiny, but an empty-off dream?
A plaything with which gods and angels scheme.

Am I doomed then to live, time never-free?
Subsumed wholly 'neath life's scattered debris?
Is justice outside this torrential doubt?
Perhaps more than sorrow,  painful fall-out?

Instrumental break

Personal paradise, which I can own,
Evoking happiness, hither unknown?
She raises from streets of lonely no more.
Light slicing through darkness, hopes washed ashore.

Her withered gait now straightening with pride.
She glides like an angel 'cross future's tide.
Caressing the ground, sing the beat of her heart.
Into the sun seeking love's brand new start.

どうしてでしょう、不可能なことは何もありません

Pourquoi Pas, Rien N'est Impossible (why not, nothing is impossible)

Here's some wonderful new music from the UK's fine Andy "Sterling" McLean.  Andy created the entire tune, playing each instrument and then asked me to join him with a solo, which I did with a piano to match the piano comping he had added.  Andy started this over 20 years ago and broke it out in our new year to suggest the new start to something great.  

Follow Andy's very fine woodwind playing here, as well as his many jazzy compositions: https://soundcloud.com/mcleanaf

And to our listeners, have a healthy and happy 2024 and beyond - thanks for all your time listening, for your comments and for your shares.

classical guitar with tongue drum and drum loop

morning tea (relax)

A Kinks-esque romp through British lyrical whimsy

Turn On A Six Pence

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.
