Hello dear friends. It's been a long while. We've all been through hell some way or other and I wish you love joy and strength.
It was great having Brian visit us in Durban this past month (the old boy's leaving on Friday). Well while he was here I got him to do some backing vocals. And he was a big help with the mixing as well. Thanks Brian!

Legerdemain - words and music Johnny Minstrel 

Bring out your entertainers
the jugglers and the clowns
We’re in the belly of the beast
as the world shuts down
All is smoke and mirrors
I hear someone say
Living the illusion
till Judgement Day 

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

He’s gonna blow your mind
Mo Magic’s back in town
There’s always something kinder
Whenever he’s around
Today is like tomorrow
Uncertain and unclear
Spill your drink of sorrows
God knows that’s too much beer

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Well there’s nobody here
Anymore than somebody there
Guess I’ll meet you in the ether
On some dodgy cable line
And if you see me turn the corner
Wave a hello or goodbye
Who knows where I’ll be going
And who I’ll be next time
Who I’ll be next time 

Bring out your entertainers
All the world’s a stage
Just looks a little smaller
In this virtual cage
So, throw in a coin dear missus
I promise you a thrill
Not stealing from the masses
Or teaching how to kill

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Everything that can be heard was sampled from IPG1's fab vocals, except the one-bar Sting interlude. Thanks for keeping on doing this Ian!

I was never satisfied with the final mix and master of this track from over 3 years ago. Having learned a few tricks of the trade I revisited the mix and made quite a few changes involving selective limiting on some stems, saturation, upwards compression, cleaning up the drums, rebalancing of some of the levels, fixing the vocals, eliminating a superfluous synth and probably more that I can't remember. I decided to relaunch the track as I think there is a huge difference.

A rueful look back at what might have been.....if only.

IF ONLY

If only you could see through my eyes
If only I could find just one more way
If only we could go back in time
If the two of us didn’t feel so lonely
If only could be sublime

And I will never forget
I remember your tender embrace
I miss gazing into your eyes
I miss hearing your laughter
Seeing your smile
Feeling your love 

And yet
There’s so much more
Why I walked out that door
I can’t ever forget
Lying on my back 
On a cold floor

If only you’d never got mad
If only you hadn’t made me sad
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

If we could get back to just having fun
If everything could be undone
If we could live on regret
If the two of us, had never met
If no-one had to run

If only you’d never got mad
If only you hadn’t made me sad
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

I pray from Monday to Sunday
I pray for both of our souls
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

If Only

If Only Revisited | Amanda Kim Sanderson, N.o.B.S, TheGat(s)

Call To Love is the first song I recorded in studio.

This experience was a huge step in building my confidence and started my journey towards really working on producing my own stuff. 

I like to think of this song as a sort of personal mantra to live by. And when life gets tough, I return to it as a much needed reminder to myself of beauty in the world. 

Glad to finally add this to my SoundCloud collection. I hope you enjoy :)

Lyrics:

I follow the call to love
Knowing that I am enough
I follow the call to love
I pick up my heart from the dust and
I will remember
I will remember oh oh
Remember

She looked up at me that day
Watching me do it my way
And I will be free every day
These words I heard her say
I will remember
I will remember oh oh
Remember

Drop your sword
And kiss me while I sleep
My hand in yours
Is a memory I'll always keep
Hope is a road
Meant only for the brave
And as I paint my poetry
The sun rises on another day

I follow the call to love
Knowing that I am enough
I follow the call to love
I pick up my heart from the dust and
I will remember
I will remember oh oh
Remember

This is a call from
My heart to you
Knowing love
Is something I know how to do, so
Take my life
Exactly as it is
And as I paint my poetry
It falls so gently on
Your ears

I follow the call to love
Knowing that I am enough
I follow the call to love
I pick up my heart from the dust and
I will remember
I will remember oh oh
Remember

I follow the call to love
Knowing that I am enough
I follow the call to love
I pick up my heart from the dust and
I will remember
I will remember oh oh
Remember

To love
Call to love
Call to love

My friend Jeff Roberts did an incredible remix of this humble song and turned it into something really fantastic, more than I thought possible! He is also responsible for the  bass and drums, and additional guitar, keys and all the other cool things in the mix. He is a talented musician as well as a  great producer/engineer. Thank you Jeff!
