Vey nice track. Greta vocal. Makes me think of Ben Folds.

Was playing around with some chords and was stuck for inspiration on a theme. My 9 year old wandered into the "studio" (spare room) so I said give me a title for a song. He told me he had only come in to say he was "missing pieces" of lego. So I said Missing Pieces will be the title and it grew from there 😃
I asked my good buddy Johnny from No Killie Fish to lay some of his awesome guitar lines for the lead guitar and I think it has really added some flavor to the track and the solo is killer!! He is an exceptional player and an even better person, check out his page at https://soundcloud.com/johnnymc2

Missing Pieces (with Johnny McFarlane)

recorded at home on my 8 track

here's the lyrics for folks that like to read along. Cheers for all the love and inspiration fellow soundclouders.

I'm getting sick and I'm getting tired
morning smog filled up my lungs
has swollen my desires
but don't go pointing no pistol in my face
I'm going to mess you up and
put you in your place
gonna put you in your place

you're getting ferile I'm getting wired
the magazine was loaded and
uncertain shots were fired
but don't go blowing no smoke ring 
in my face
I'm going to mess you up and
put you in your place
gonna put you in your place

where the children go, nobody looks 
nobody knows
place where the children go
when they have got no fixed abode
place where the children go
where nobodies gonna miss them
when the go
don't miss them when they go

batten down my hatches
I'll seal you to your fate
boil you up for breakfast
then pour you on my plate

but don't go pulling no hood over my face
you've lost when I have won the race
I've put you in your place


something like that, cheers for listening and reading, if you got that far👍


In Your Place

Further Than The Moon (demo)

This is for the performers and my SC brothers and sisters, brave enough to stand in front of an audience and sing their own material, but not be heard. This is for the artists who resign themselves to the fact they will never 'make it', but this is especially for the people who despite this, keep going for the love of music.

Ballad for a Ballad Singer

This is my second collaboration (that was actually completed in July, but this is me just getting round to uploading to SoundCloud now.) which features satosii and Rylei Nathaniel. It all started with a sequence bass guitar melody from Rylei and a beat and a guitar from satosii. Vocal chops, piano, synth  and the finished melody was done by me and we ended up with two versions.

Version one: Dial Up (https://www.instagram.com/p/CRCYnsCAZQL/)
Version two: サイバーパンクな夏の夜 (https://www.instagram.com/p/CRKIgQQA6rO/)

Videos for both versions are made by Rylei Nathaniel.
You Tube video made by Decan Usmic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUNKdFYc8G0
This song is slightly different from my usual genre, but I hope you find it uplifting. Many Thanks for listening and for all your support!

Love is something we can't make ourselves feel (Feat. Ajahn Sumedho)

Me every night
I go out to party
Me every night
They call me

I take my car
With friends
What a waste
Always the same

I am a witness to (Lalalalala)
I am a witness to the night
I am a witness to (Lalalalala)
I am a witness to the night
(Lalalalala) x2

Do not look for me when there is sun
I'm sure I'm not
I am a witness to the night
I don't have to tell you
What are you looking to find me
It's a lifestyle
I wear a brooch moon


I take my car
With friends
What a waste
Always the same

I am a witness to (Lalalalala)
I am a witness to the night
I am a witness to (Lalalalala)
I am a witness to the night
(Lalalalala) x4

Testigo De La Noche

I don't know what this is really,probably just more DV bollox!

The inspiration for the track came last year when part of my favourite walk was closed for renovations,but I sneaked in past the barriers most days anyway!
Being alone is a landscape prompted be to imagine I was the only person left alive. This in turn took me to what we are doing to the planet and what we might do to help.
Yeah,I was right the first time,more DV bollox!

Taking the shortcut
Past the sign pathway closed
I know I really shouldn't
But as long as no one knows

The sea is ever present
Turning pebbles into sand
As I begin my descent 
Into no man's land

Could be the world has ended
Erased the human race
There are times I have pretended
We didn't leave a trace

Fragile our existence
Living unaware
Yet somewhere in the distance
A rolling nightmare

Reflecting on our being
We seek to understand
Looking but not seeing
We live in Wonderland

Could be the world has ended
Erased the human race
There are times I have pretended
We didn't leave a trace

Wonderland

9:30 Alberta is a story of change found in a place of opportunity. 
The Berland River Alberta is the backdrop for this untouched sound .. an expression of natural beauty and an appreciation for all that it gives.

"The Line"

(v1)
Why you go and make pretend
That you were my friend
When all this time 
You  were keepin' score

How's it feel to live a lie
And tell me that I'm wrong
How you gonna testify
If you never sang the song

(p/c)
Don't know what's been goin' on
Inside your head
All the time you spend alone
Has left you with a deficit

(Ch)
It's hard to know the line
But you crossed it the last time
I ain't got no more time
For you

(v2)
Life has its ups & downs
One day it can turn around
I ain't never said 
I'm better than you

You've got me at the precipice
It's a stupid way to get your kicks
I think I've done
All I can do

(p/c)
Don't know what's been going on
Inside your head
I think it's time for me to fly
Don't need your recompense 

(ch)
(ch)

The Line

Lyrics + Chords

Chorus:  
I don’t know what to say 
Taking it day by day 
We are united today 
No matter what people say 
Choosing to be me is choosing to be free
Let us all be okay 
In the night and day 
(D)

Verse: 

(Chords: G | Em,C , D) 

Might be feeling a little frustrated 
Might have even hesitated 
But happiness is forming 
But here is our story  
We’re going home to glory 
Looking for a better day 
Better get up and go say hey
I know they say I might be crazy 
But I’m sane knowing in my brain
that I needed to gain help for me 
So wake up now this your moon 
Catch the sky, stay tuned 

        Chorus:  
I don’t know what to say 
Taking it day by day 
We are united today 
No matter what people say 
Choosing to be me is choosing to be free
