“Finding YOUR WAY does not mean that you always know where you are going. The important thing is that you know how to find your way HOME…”.

“TAKE ME HOME” feels nostalgic and familiar in its essence as the soundscape and lyrics remind you that our biggest quest is to uncover our truest selves and discover where we belong. Home is 
where you feel the most comfort and the most inspired, and when you arrive at that place, you'll never want to leave again.

Take Me Home

O du fröhliche (Trad. Weihnachtslied, trad. Christmas Song)

Ninety nine air balloons
When the lies come raining down

like every dry season comes the monsoon
All the ugly will perish, the truth will wear the crown

Ninety nine air balloons
The earth will be flat(once again) 
and ships will be crashing down(no more crazy captains)

No one on the helm a cruise to no mans land
No more control, no more rules to bend

Ninety nine air balloons
Your burden is lifted
This curse, on this earth, shifted(Hold on my dear)

Ninety nine air balloons
When the lies come raining down

like every dry season comes the monsoon
All the ugly will perish, the truth will wear the crown

Ninety nine air balloons
So many beautiful colors but colorless
Like music it doesn't discriminate

Ninety nine air balloons
No more borders only free states.

A small nod to the song 
Nena 99 Luftballons (1983)

Lyrics by Amarya Illude

99 Air Balloons

Inspired by music from noir films and Twin Peaks(ish) things.  I imagine this piece playing as, you guessed it, the film credits are rolling, after all is concluded.

Roll Credits

Vacances de pouvoir - Prod. Gaxillic

       This song I wrote back in 2000 and it's another one of the first songs Charle and I recorded together. Written during my bachelor mid-life crisis phase when I was in between marriages. Needless to say I was feeling alone and blue during that time but even worse than that, I was bluer than blue!? So that made me Blue Blue! I rocked out on this one a bit in the solos and Charlie sang it very well, I double-tracked his voice, and I think Charlie played some harmonica on this one too! I had my old recorder so please forgive the quality. The video is brand new, I put it together last month and played around with colors and strobes, so be careful if strobing effects bother you. The video will drop on March 1st.

 I like my lyrics here, they are very simple but to the point and I think it sounds ok. It's actually a very fast uplifting song with a kind of anxious lyrics behind it, so whenever you're blue just remember that I used to be Blue Blue! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼  

“BLUE, BLUE"

MAYBE I’M PARANOID OR A LITTLE BIT OFF TRACK,   
CAN’T HELP BUT WONDER EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE,   
IF YOU’RE EVER COMING BACK,

I KNOW IT’S FOOLISH AND IT MAY SEEM IMMATURE,   
BUT THIS FEELIN’ OF EMPTINESS,  
FILLS ME EACH TIME THAT YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR,
         
I’M BLUE, BLUE,          
AS THE SKY IS, 
BLUE, BLUE,             
AS THE OCEAN,         
BLUE, BLUE,         
WHAT I’M FEELIN’ EVERY SECOND I’M WITHOUT YOU,
      
I KNOW I’M CRAZY WITH A THOUGHTLESS JEALOUS HEART,             
AND I TEND TO OVERREACT,   
WHEN YOU DON’T CALL AND TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE,   

MAYBE I’M INSECURE AND IT HURTS ME WHEN YOU’RE GONE,     
BUT ALL I DO KNOW FOR SURE,               
IS THAT WITHOUT YOU THERE’S NO NEED IN GOING ON, 
   
I’M BLUE, BLUE,         
AS THE SKY IS, 
BLUE, BLUE,         
AS THE OCEAN,        
BLUE, BLUE,         
WHAT I’M FEELIN’ EVERY SECOND I’M WITHOUT YOU,
I'M BLUE.

the whisper

A sweet and slightly psychedelic pop ditty about the happiness of finding Love.

Early Morning Mist (2024) Anthology CD4 Track 09

When the skies collapse

Born from ash.
Raised by flame.
Carved from every moment you should’ve fallen but didn’t.

The Phoenix erupts with alternative rock fury,
guitars tearing open the sky,
drums landing like the heartbeat of something ancient waking up.

It’s rebirth and rebellion in the same breath.
A soundtrack for rebuilding yourself from the wreckage,
for choosing fire over fear,
for rising when nobody expected you to.

A Hempenology anthem for the ones who refuse to stay buried.

The Phoenix

No AI is used in the composing, arranging, performance, or mixing of my music.
I started my songwriting career playing in a power trio in the late 80's and early 90's as Singer and Guitarist around London and Essex, England. Moved to Brighton, England in the mid 90's and formed another power trio which became a 4 piece and had some success around the millennium supporting well known bands and playing headline shows around England.

Around this time I met Tony Clarke, best known for producing the Moody Blues and many other great acts. I worked with Tony for over a decade and he taught me the fundamental elements of mixing and producing. Many years later I met Mykel Dunn who ran his own studio in Kent, England. We started writing together and he completed my education in mixing. Myke and I went on to write music for TV shows and adverts and are still great friends and music partners. 

I recently had the absolute pleasure of producing, mixing and playing backing instruments on Ryan Athey's first album 'Next Same Town' which has been successful in it's first few months of release.

The pieces I post here are my own. Written, performed, mixed and produced entirely by myself  in my home studio in East Sussex, England (apart from a couple of numbers in Bandolier which were collaborations with Mykel Dunn). 
I am in my element when creating sound and enjoy experimenting with different styles ranging from Pop, Rock, Folk and Country to Orchestral, Ambient and Electronic. I don't use AI engines at all but It's all music to me and I hope you enjoy what you hear.
