Recorded at A Sharp studio's Sydney.
Engineered and produced by Ben Briddon.

Mastermind

Little Digger is about how most Australians are feeling at the moment with the cost of living crisis. I used the Echidna to represent the song as they are tough resilient creatures, just like most Aussies. There is also a subtle reference to the Australian soldiers past and present who without their efforts we wouldn't have the freedoms we enjoy today. 
Recorded at Kiln studios Sydney. Produced by Ben Briddon. Vocals by Damien King. Paul Cullum on guitars and bass.

Take Back The Days

90’s indie vibes for your listening pleasure — Manchester in the house

Can’t sleep ?

Giving And Taking
Cloud Stepping
(Chorus)
Life is relative, to the one that’s living it
Inside outlook, to giving and taking it
Experience god’s works, all senses
We were given just a little bit
We couldn’t handle it all 
the few we have can nearly fit
the few we have can nearly fit

(Verse1)
If we knew it all, and all, and all
Then nothing would matter
It’s all a puzzle to be solved
We have always been the answer
The plan of god without reward
Evolves in different ways
We are all awake in different dreams
To let the devil play

(Verse2)
Who amongst us hear the screams
Of millions of lives lost, 
and don’t look on it as savagery
And wonder what’s the cost
What’s the worth, and what’s the cost
Are we listening or not
Are we listening or not

(Chorus)
Life is relative, to the one that’s living it
Inside outlook, to giving and taking it
Experience god’s works, all senses
We were given just a little bit
We couldn’t handle it all 
the few we have can nearly fit
the few we have can nearly fit

The Carpenters are the Favourite band of all my celebrities.

Their songs have been a part of my childhood, my teenage years and even
now. Especially Karen's voice.
She had a fairly deep, medium-range voice, warm and colorful,
with an exceptional tone.
She was not only a singer, but also a very talented drummer.
Her brother Richard also has an extraordinary voice and does a lot of
backing vocals.

Their two voices alone amply cover the harmony of their tracks.
They're Unique.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love this song; it's well-paced, as well as the bass and especially the drums.
For me, this song is very hard to sing, 
because the key starts off very low and rises quite high,
and the tempo also increases.

Honestly, I struggled to keep up with the rhythm in both choruses.
As I was saying, my voice isn't what it was 20-30 years ago. 🙂

Learning to live

Dear Emily

Words and Music Dave Rose.
A slow blues tempo for the current situation we find ourselves in.
Headphones essential 🎧
Lyrics
How’ve we let it get to this, it really seems ridiculous 
These gangsters criminals fanatics and lunatics 
Drag us into the abyss 

So tonight let’s just put that all aside and let the music play 
And if this should be the last song for you and me
Then let’s just sway

Or am I just being pessimistic should I be more optimistic 
And maybe I’ll see that history won’t simply be repeating itself 

So tonight let’s just put that all aside and let the music play 
And if this should be the last song for you and me
Let’s just sway….

But the moon 🌙 still turns the tides
And day follows night
We awake to find a brand new day 
And this doesn’t have to be the last song
And life still goes on 
Life still goes on…….

The Last Song

I wrote this story for an old friend in my hometown who dedicated his life to Rock´n Roll, lived thru all the ups and downs  and never regretted the decision he  had made when he was very young.
I am really grateful for the collab with Mikey Falls  @MyKingFalls Collective who did a great job creating a catchy Rocksong ("working his magic on it!") with extraordinary vocals and vocal performance , a great hookmelody (right from the start!) and an impressive backing punch. 
I hope you enjoy this track as much as I do. Play it loud or use headphones. ´Yes, it is late Seventies Rocktime !

Life For Rock & Roll

Born in a place kind of middle class home
Working class quarter but pretty unknown
He grew up on music of his alltime icons
Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks and The Stones

He got gripped by music when he entered the scene
Played in clubs when he turned fifteen
It didn´t take long to get famous in town
A musical rebel with a sensitive soul

He lived for his passion and Rock & Roll

Just playing his music, never went with the flow
He followed his dream , he was ready to go
For the good, the bad and the dirty deeds
The price for it all had to be paid on the streets

A musical rebel with a sensitive soul
A fighter for passion and Rock & Roll

In the old days he was hungry, his brain so wired
He wasn´t so much older as he was tired
Found him drunk on the day he hit the ground
And the cold winter rain was pouring down

A musical rebel aiming higher for more
But he gets back up when he hits the floor

A musical rebel with a sensitive soul
He lived for his passion and Rock & Roll

My SoundCloud friend from the UK Martin Dean recently took me up on a suggestion that we create something beautiful together. Something spoke deeply to me while listening to his Cloud, and after about a month of consideration he settled on this improvisational piano piece of mine, and worked to orchestrate it along the 'less is more' principle.                              And OMG... something wondrous was born as you can readily hear.  Bless your Ears and your Soul, Martin!  and Thank You for engaging.

You can hear more of Martin's work @martindean

May you enJOY!  And btw... I'd recommend putting this one on Repeat.
