These are most of the SoundCloud tracks I reposted in 2023. There's no quick way to create this, I had to scroll through all my "likes" and find the ones I reposted as well. Probably missed some, sorry! I limited artists that I reposted more than once to one track on the playlist. If you hear a track on this list you really like, check out that artist, they probably have more stuff you'll enjoy!

Such GREAT STUFF! We truly are providing an alternative here on SoundCloud, us unsigned, "unknown" artists. Thanks for sharing your music and keep it up in 2024!

Ballad with more than a touch of melancholy. (Scroll Down for Lyric)  One of my favorite lyrics CW has given me for one of my tunes.  My scratch lyric was “I Don’t Know”.  What an improvement!!  
The solo was played with an e-bow for the guitar geeks out there.  
I expect to evolve the piece with remixes.  So any and all feedback deeply appreciated and will be honestly considered.

Lyric below:

I’ve waited so long for you to turn my way
Standing aside (x2)
And now that you’re here I wonder if you will stay
Could you have lied (x2)

I have my answer
For Today (x3)

A walk in the dusk, the air is still, warm, and dry
You reappear (x2)

I have my answer
For Today (x3)

Winter will come and everything seems to die
Will you still be here (x2)

I have my answer
For Today (x3)

For Today

With your name - Text and Music by Flavio Pozzaglio

I wish he was here
But it's only one day without her
And I don't know and I don't know ...

In this space that
it seems more empty than ever
I look and I don't know if it's true or not

Sometimes it happens that one day it takes away
The desire to share life
It's easy, but it's just one more illusion

Feel free from all that gives freedom
But then if you go home, everything is still and nothing remains

I wish he was here
But it's only one day without her
And I don't know and I don't know ...

See you return from a light cloud
You can call him by your name if you want, love

See you return from an endless story
If you want you can call him by my name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Con il tuo nome - Testo e Musica di Flavio Pozzaglio

Vorrei che fosse qui
Ma è un solo giorno senza lei 
Ed io non so ed io non so …

In questo spazio che
sembra più vuoto che mai
Guardo e non so, se è vero o no

A volte capita che un giorno si porti via
La voglia di dividere la vita
E’ facile, ma è solo un’ illusione in più

Sentirti libero da tutto ciò che da la libertà
Ma poi se torni a casa, tutto è immobile e nulla resta

Vorrei che fosse qui
Ma è un solo giorno senza lei 
Ed io non so ed io non so …

Vederti ritornare da una nuvola leggera
Se vuoi puoi chiamarlo con il tuo nome, amore 

Vederti ritornare da una storia senza fine
Se vuoi puoi chiamarlo con il mio nome

Con Il Tuo Nome

Forgotten Lies

Serendipity (Little Bit)
Music: Fogey		Words: CW and Fogey

THE LITTLE BIT OF TIME THAT’S ON OUR HANDS 
COULD GET TOSSED AND NOT BE MISSED
THAT LITTLE BIT OF TIME COULD BE OUR CHANCE 
TO GET LOST AND THEN GET KISSED
JUST LIKE MOTHERS EVERYWHERE TELL THEIR CHILDREN
Things HAPPEN all FOR A REASON
THAT LITTLE BIT OF SMILE YOU GAVE ME
COULD BE THE BIT OF SMILE THAT SAVES ME

THAT LITTLE BIT OF LUCK PROVIDED US
THE TIME AND PLACE TO CHAT
THAT LITTLE BIT OF LUCK INVITED US
TO MAKE IT SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT
THERE’S A MILLION REASONS I CAN COME UP WITH
TO STOP FOR A MOMENT AND THINK
BUT HERE WE ARE IN THE THICK OF IT
AND I CAN’T EVEN THINK A LITTLE BIT

FACED WITH SOME IDLE HOURS AND
A BIT OF CHILLY WEATHER
IT’S GOOD TO BE TOGETHER 
WHEN THE COLD TAKES HOLD

A LITTLE BIT OF ICE BEGINS TO THAW
YOUR LAUGHTER MAKES IT MELT
THEN THE CLOUDS START TO WITHDRAW
THE SUN COMING OUT CAN BE FELT
SO MANY OTHERS MIGHT HAVE MISSED THE CHANCE TO FIND
WHAT STARTS with  THE TINIEST SPARK
THE FIRE THAT’S IN OUR HEARTS BEGINS TO GLOW
BECAUSE WE TOOK THE CHANCE TO GET TO KNOW
A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE

Serendipidity (A Little Bit)

MIX/MASTER: Woods Studio

NOTE: This tune came to me three days after the news of Burt Bacharach's passing. I dedicate the song to the great man's memory. 

LYRIC
Why watch the clock 
Count hours by the minute
I may be wrong but for right now
We have to live in the present
Let’s let the sky show us how

It has the signposts giving us guidance
And even if at times they hide  
We know they’re there inside or out

Good morning, good night
And that’s not to slight
A good afternoon
Twenty four hours of
Shining upon our love 
Are the sun and moon

Sometimes the times are some of the best
And sometimes they’re best forgotten
Who knows what this the day has got in store
  
Good evening, good day 
And may I just say
We work hard at fun
Climb in and out of bed
While always overhead
The moon and sun

Awake, asleep and so in love
Our besties hang above
Reality it seems  
Is a galaxy of dreams

All day and night
As gravity pulls us
Toward the core of [our] existence
What’s the use trying to fight it
That wouldn’t make any sense at all

Good morrow my dear
At last it’s here
Not a minute too soon
And not a minute late
For us to celebrate
With the sun and moon

Good morning, good night
la di da da
Hang loose, sleep tight
la di da da
Just stay in sight
Day and night, endlessly  
For me you’ll always be the sun…and moon

The Sun And Moon

All That Glitters
Words: Fogey and CW		Music: Fogey
Mixing: Jack Holston

All that glitters may not be gold
But the allure of something shiny never seems to get old

I should know better than to fall
For the lure of something skin deep like a siren’s call

Initial Attraction and short-term satisfaction
May not be a winning recipe
Subtler charms and welcoming arms are for me

A queen and her drama should raise an alarm, ha
That Ego’s a glutton that brain is unbuttoned
Better beware son danger lurks there son
Here’s the story that is seldom told
All that glitter soon gets really old
A true heart is true gold

I felt so special when she smiled
And slyly glanced then my heart danced just like a wild child

Some time later she smiled again
But this time it was for somebody else so it begins 

Don’t take the plunge she’s an attention sponge,
It’s agreed, her wandering’s guaranteed
Smiles that are earned and not merely learned are for me 

A queen and her drama should raise an alarm, ha
That Ego’s a glutton that brain is unbuttoned
Better beware son danger lurks there son
Here’s the story that is seldom told
All that glitter soon gets really old
A true heart is true gold

(Let this be told)                                 All that glitters may not be gold     
(A true heart is true gold)                  All that glitter soon gets old

Voyage

The snow is fallin' on Christmas Eve
And I'm walkin down familiar streets
Warm food waits for me at home
Right now I'm happy just to feel the snow

But when we get back you'll be there
Smilin' at me from atop the stairs
The lights are glowing all around the place
A loving feeling resting on your face
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

Now I know where our home exists
It took awhile but I can admit
Not a place but it's all our own
Anywhere I'm with you, we're not alone

Presents and family are miles away
Along with memories of Christmas days
But we're together and that's all I need
warm on a homemade Christmas Eve...
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

All the promises that we have kept
replace the shiny new store bought gifts
The days ahead that we now see
Can't be wrapped under a Christmas tree...

The winter deepens in the frosty days
And glowing fires still keep me amazed
Inside our home's everything we need
When you wake up next to me...
On our homemade Christmas
On our homemade Christmas

- V3.04

Your Homemade Christmas

I sway, like a leaf, in, the autumn breeze
I fall, verdant green, feeling so serene

Crimson, golden red, remember those words she said
And I, will have tonight, to hold your arms in mine
Yes, I will have tonight, to hold your arms in mine

GOING WITH ME

Words: CW Mullins and Fogey
Music: Fogey

HERE’S THE DEAL
JUST A NOTION
I KNOW PLACES YOU OUGHT TO SEE
GOT THE WHEEL
FORWARD MOTION
HOW ABOUT YOU GOING WITH ME

ON THE ROAD
OUT OF NOWHERE
LET A HOT WIND SLAP US AROUND
WE CAN STOP
YOU CAN SAY WHERE
ANY PLACE THAT WANTS TO BE FOUND

DESTINED TO REACH A SPOT IN THE SUN
WHY HANG BACK HERE? YOU’LL HAVE MORE FUN
GOING WITH ME

TAKE THE WHEEL
SET US IN MOTION
I’LL SIT BACK MAYBE MOO AT A COW
HERE’S THE DEAL
ANOTHER NOTION
HOW ABOUT YOU TAKE ME NOW?

DESTINED TO REACH A SPOT IN THE SUN
WHY HANG BACK HERE? YOU’LL HAVE MORE FUN

YOU CHOOSE THE ROUTE
I’LL GAS THE CAR
THIS POINT’S NOT MOOT
BABY, HOW FAR?

DROP THE TOP AND
PUT ON SOME LOTION
YOU LOOK GOOD BUT I NEED A TAN
TOGETHER WE CAN
CAUSE A COMMOTION
SPREADING JOY ALL OVER THE LAND

DESTINED TO REACH A SPOT IN THE SUN
WHY HANG BACK HERE? YOU’LL HAVE MORE FUN

DESTINED TO REACH A SPOT IN THE SUN
WHY HANG BACK HERE? YOU’LL HAVE MORE FUN
GOING WITH ME

Going With Me

2024 remix by Jack Holston

LYRIC
There’s no longer doubt
Time is running out
And it looks it’s in a hurry
Where it’s got to go
I don’t need to know
I’m not even going to worry
Let some future me
Stick around to see
Exactly what was all the fuss
With the mess that is us
yessiree
I’ll just leave it be
For some future me

Don’t ask me to think
I’ve got me a drink
And a hammock hung in the shade
I am now clocked out
My whole day’s blocked out
And I face my present unafraid
Tell some future me
How things ought to be
If I’m still around to hear
I’ll lend you all an ear
Honey bee
No charge, it’s all free
Thank some future me

At one time I’d gladly join you
For the common good
Now I’d only disappoint you
But ask a future me, maybe he would
If he could

Lucky future me
Just might live to see
An end at last to all the fuss
With the mess that is us
Glory be
We have to wait and see
I’m sure he’ll agree
That lucky future me

Future Me

As timely now as when lyric originally written (2016).  

WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

Words: CW Mullins and Fogey		
Music:  Fogey  

NOTHING ELSE SEEMED TO WORK
OTHER PLANS ALL FELL THROUGH
OPTIONS ALL EXHAUSTED
EXCEPT A MISERABLE FEW
SO THAT CHOICE WE’D REJECTED
SET BACK THEN NEGLECTED
MAYBE ITS TIME HAS COME ALONG 
AFTER ALL WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

[Chorus]
WHAT COULD GO WRONG?  WE ASK IN A SONG
DISGRACE AND DISASTER, THE END COMING FASTER
IF IT DOESN’T KILL US IT’LL MAKE US ALL STRONG
WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

GOLDEN LADS AND LADIES
THE BRIGHTEST AND THE BEST
SOMEHOW THEY ALL FAILED US
THOUGH THEY’D PASSED EVERY TEST
BUT THAT GOOF OFF WE’D SCORNED
ABOUT WHOM WE WERE WARNED
MAYBE HIS TIME HAS COME ALONG

[Chorus]

HOW DID WE END  UP GETTING BACKED INTO A CORNER
AFTER PAINTING THE FLOOR BROWN?
HE’S GOT THE PERFECT SOLUTION
JUST BURN THE WHOLE THING DOWN 

IT’S TIME TO START OVER
WE CAN RESET THE CLOCK
WITH A HARD HEADED LEADER
YEAH A BRAIN LIKE A ROCK
SO WITHOUT MUCH REFLECTION
WE’LL MAKE OUR SELECTION
HIT THE ALARM AND BANG A GONG
BECAUSE, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

[Chorus]

WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO?
WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO?
WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO WRONG? WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

What Could Go Wrong

LYRIC:

ON THE WAY TO 21
SOME PROVE BRIGHT, SOME PROVE DUMB
LITTLE JOHNNY ROCKING HORSE 
PROVED HIMSELF TO BE WAY OFF COURSE
ON HIS HOBBY HORSE
RIDING ALL OVER TOWN
ALL OVER TOWN

THAT BAD BOY. BAD BOY, BAD BOY BAD
ONE HAND RIDE ON BARE HIDE
BAD BOY, BAD BOY BAD
SPENT ALL THAT HE HAD BANKED
NOW HE’S GOING TO GET SPANKED THAT BAD BOY BAD

FAITHFUL PAL AND TRUSTED FRIEND
WHEN WILL YOU SEE HIM AGAIN?
MAYBE WHEN THE ICE AGE STARTS
IN THE LAND NO ONE EVER CHARTS
IN THE FROZEN HEARTS OF LITTLE BOYS
AND LITTLE JOYS, LITTLE JOYS

BAD BOY, BAD BOY, BAD BOY BAD
EVERY NIGHT.  IS IT RIGHT?
BAD BOY, BAD BOY BAD
PLAYED WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE NAPPED
NOW HE’S GOING TO GET SLAPPED THAT BAD BOY BAD

EVERYBODY WANTS SO MUCH AND THEN A LITTLE MORE
EVERYBODY’S GOT A WORD THAT YOU’VE HEARD BEFORE
EVERYBODY WANTS SO MUCH

HERE HE IS AT 35
HE’S JUST HERE, JUST ALIVE
BUT IN THE ATTIC UP THE STAIRS
IS THE FRIEND WHO EASES WORLDLY CARES
HE RIDES WHEN HE DARES
FAMILY’S AROUND, SO NOT A SOUND
NOT A SOUND

BAD BOY, BAD BOY BAD, BAD BOY BAD
HOPALONG GET ALONG
BAD BOY, BAD BOY BAD
FLY ACROSS THE WILD PLAINS
AND DON’T PULL BACK ON THE REINS, YOU BAD BOY BAD

Bad Boy

NOTICE: I DO NOT PAY FOR PROMOTION. EVER.

SPOTLIGHT:  It's June and time to bring out the 2024 edition of my PRIDE playlist. Meanwhile, "Old Age' joins the previous songs in Sexagenarian Volume V, which is now half complete with 6 of the planned 12 tracks. Meanwhile Sexagenarian Volume I reached its belated completion with the addition of the 12th track, "The Last Laugh." Look for Sexagenarian Volumes II, III and IV in my Playlist section.

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!) and I've pretty much never stopped. These are mostly solo recording projects (my brother, Fog City Fogey, contributes sometimes).  I don't do much self-promotion, not a fan of Repost Exchange etc, so all of you who find this page and like a song or two - you are truly appreciated!

If you're into modern rock bands like Black Keys, Royal Blood, Nothing But Thieves, and Biffy Clyro, then the music from this closet rocker could be for you.
For older influences, you might detect some  Finn Brothers in various configurations (Split Enz, Crowded House, Neil and Tim solo and together), Brian Wilson, Grateful Dead, John McLaughlin, Gomez, Radiohead, Steven Wilson, Bowie, and a bunch of others I’m forgetting at the moment.
In general, I play all the instruments, do all the arrangements, and do the heavy lifting on the vocals.
I tend to love music that rewards repeated listening rather than ear candy. That’s the spirit in which I hope you'll listen to this music.
I do both solo projects and collaborations with brother, who is on Soundcloud and Spotify as CW Mullins.  
CW pulled Fogey back into making music with a bunch of songs he had written and wanted to get recorded.  Collaboration started in 1983.  CW has carried the load on lyric writing, writes a lot of songs that Fogey performs and arranges, and Fogey writes music for some of CW’s lyrics.
