Hello All
We just wanted everyone who has submitted a track to know that Smirks is continuing to work on these. We are both proud and pleased to say that your response was simply amazing, with such brilliant pieces to work on and, because we want the finished product to be the best it can be, putting everything together is taking time.  Smirks also contracted Covid some weeks ago, which has laid him quite low for a time - another reason things have been held up.  But we wanted to assure you that the project is very much ongoing.  

So Smirks decided to put this together to give listeners a taster of what we want the end product to be.  He hasn't included any of your submissions because he didn't want to spoil the element of surprise for everyone involved.
There are many collabs currently being put together - even my brother Tel and myself are working on something - so it's a very complex entity, all things considered.  But rest assured, we are getting there.
Thanks to all for all your patience.  (Gary Reeves)

ONE BIG COLLABORATION UPDATE - Please read description...

MY DAYS IN EYDON.
=============================

Second time I collaborate with Peter.

Great musician, exceptional lyricist and masterful social critic. All his work is full of social winks, a memory of something or someone or a beautiful poetry, and you can see it in the link below.

https://soundcloud.com/user-264930040

The first time he was kind enough to give me, on top of music I sent him, wonderful lyrics about my city, in which I feel deeply lucky to live. Do not publish this song as a gift, but you can listen to it in the following link.

https://soundcloud.com/user-264930040/hot-seville-night?si=d574dcbb06ff45648b332f9ffaca4522&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

That's why I decided to finish an unfinished song in December 2015 so that I could describe the town where he lives and return the gift to him.

Thank you Peter for your patience, enthusiasm and dedication.


Lyrics.

Ghosts
Float through my mind
Souls from ancient times
Speaking in their song of bones
Through tombstone telephones
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering

Stones
Spangled with iron
In perpetual denial
Of earthly ticks and tocks
Doing time in village stocks
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering
…..........they're whispering.... now....

Earth
Soft as the bells
Old hands forged them well
When you can smell the time
And hear the fires shine
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering

Ghosts
Float through my mind
Souls from ancient times
Speaking in their song of bones
Through tombstone telephones
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering
…..........they're whispering.... 
…..............but the whispering …..is mine.....
…...................it's all mine....

My Days In Eydon (Peter & Midisound)

You Can't Take It With You (by Paul Kelly)

North Star meaning also plays a key role in astrology as the term used to refer to an individual's “north node” or destiny, the path of more fulfillment and purpose. It's part of two of the most visible constellations in the sky – The Big and Little Dipper.
This song as a slight slant towards Christmas and to all those people missing from families for one reason or another. 
They have left to find their North Star, some might find what they are looking for and many won’t but it doesn’t stop people searching.
And it doesn’t stop families worrying how they are and where they are.
Come home for Christmas that’s all we ask .
Happy Christmas to all you Soundclouder’s it’s been a pleasure I look forward to 2023 with you to do it all over again.

^v^  HIGH ON A MOUNTAIN  ^v^
---------------------------------------------

Hey Babe!  What brings you here when so many seasons have gone & disappeared?
Thousands of suns & moons have drifted out of touch!
So are you gonna tell me now, we've really changed that much?

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly
When the whole wide world was wondrous
Can we hold on to that time?
We were high upon a mountain and we thought that we could fly!

We all have a story and we've found our way
But are we still the people that we once were, today?
So tell me, tell me now - what, what do you see?
Do you see the angel you always saw in me?!

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!
When the whole wide world was wondrous
Can we hold on to that time?
We were high up on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!

Pretty boy you've got silver hues now!
Distinguished eyes distinguish truth...
Did your wings grow wide?
Did you fly again?
Did you touch the sky - did your dreams transcend?

What's your poison Babe? What have I missed?
Do you set the stage to show your hand or will we reminisce?

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!
When the whole wide world was wondrous - can we hold on to that time?

High On A Mountain

Edens Daughter

Solo acoustic rock n roll! 🎸🎤

I am a solo guitarist mainly playing acoustically. I am a rock n roller with folk, country, blues, jazz and classical influences. It could be summed up as cowpunk.

I have written two songs, Mexico and Solution, and have also written a number of instrumentals. As I don't have many songs of my own, I like to learn to play standards so I have developed a bit of a repertoire.

All originals are copyright. 

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy it! This is NG, bluesing out!
