I wrote this song for my friend Stefan in January 2023.
Inspired by a great picture that hangs on his wall in his company.
It was created by a painter from Rammingen near Langenau.

This is an iPad production.
Recorded with MTStudioPro, played with Roland V-Piano and Sax from Resch - Mellotron.
The guitar is triggered via channel 1 from the StrummerFx app to an old Roland SC8850 via midi out and recorded live.
Parallel to the recording, the drum app SoftDrummer was used to record from the iPad.
Some background sounds are from AKAI MPC One Touch - Fabric which are played as instruments via the V-Piano.
The saxophone was later recorded live with the Resch - Mellotron in overdubbing to the new song.

I saw this picture there - and I suddenly found it beloved
Colours of deep Blue - like the sky from above
Shades of Blue - like an dolphin in the Ocean.
Darker blue spots round it like the shadows of his swarm.

If you would change your view on it, then you can feel the guiding 
hand  - of the painter behind it.

Solo

If you would change your view on it, then you can feel the guiding 
hand  - of the painter behind it.

Maybe you will see something oher than I do.
Well that could be. But I find dolphins beautiful.

And what’s to you. Tell me what you see there  - in this great picture hanging on the wall

I saw this picture there - and I suddenly found it beloved
Colours of deep Blue - like the sky from above

Shades of Blue - like an dolphin in the Ocean.
Darker blue spots round it like the shadows of his swarm.

If you would change your view on it, then you can feel the guiding 
hand  - of the painter behind it.

Cause Toujours

Yet another version of this little Rock and Roll number, this time dropping back to the 1950's again and how it might have been influenced by the American R&R movement.

This 'n' That - 1950's skiffle influence

Let’s not mince words here. Trump is the embodiment of corruption, greed, and incompetence. He’s a man who has spent his entire life looking out for himself, exploiting others, and leaving chaos in his wake. As De Niro so eloquently put it: *“He’s a dog. He’s a pig. He’s a con. He’s a bullsh*t artist. He’s a mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”* This isn’t just about politics—it’s about morality. It’s about standing up to a man who has no respect for the rule of law, no respect for the truth, and no respect for the American people.  

Trump’s presidency was a disaster. He divided the country, emboldened hate, and failed to deliver on his promises. He’s a man who thrives on chaos, who lies with every breath, and who cares only about his own ego. As De Niro said: *“He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a mutt. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s an idiot. He’s a fool.”* And yet, here we are, facing the possibility of him returning to power. We cannot let that happen. We cannot allow this man to continue to poison our democracy.  

This is not just about Trump—it’s about the people who enable him. The sycophants, the cowards, and the opportunists who stand by his side and allow his corruption to flourish. They are just as guilty as he is. As De Niro said: *“They’re all scum. They’re all mutts. They don’t know what they’re talking about.”* We need to hold them accountable. We need to stand up and fight back.  

The stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines. This is about the soul of our nation. It’s about protecting our democracy, our values, and our future. We cannot afford to let Trump and his enablers win. We must vote, we must organize, and we must make our voices heard. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna fight back. We’re gonna fight back with everything we’ve got.”*  

So let’s do this. Let’s come together and defeat Trump once and for all. Let’s show the world that we are better than this. That we will not tolerate corruption, lies, and hate. That we will stand up for what’s right. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna win. We’re gonna win because we have to.”*  

This is our moment. This is our fight. Let’s get to work.

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.
