Some of my Soundcloud Favourites #49

Written when I had just turned 15 (1982). I had forgotten about it but someone found a tape of me singing it back then. I then purchased a  MacBook in 2020 and decided to record it as a learning exercise/demofor using GarageBand. Naive and simple, but an innocent song for challenging times.
Lyrics:

John the fisherman 

They call me John the fisherman 
And I can be seen every day
Working and risking my life as a fisherman 
Sailing out on the waves

I live in a cottage on a cliff, 
I never move far from the sea
I live on fish and homegrown peas
And sleep with a bible close to me

The only things I respect in my world
Are god and the sea 
For they both have claimed the lives of many who meant so much to me
(I say) I never fall in love any more
I’ve been hurt too many times
 (I tell them) I know all loves pitfalls 
I’ll leave that game to the fools! 

They call me John the fisherman 
They say that I’m so hard to please
I disagree with war and many policies 
And dislike people who criticise me

All my friends and family have long since gone
And I’m left with memories 
Some say I’m mad because I talk to myself 
It’s only because I’m lonely 

I wish I had someone to love
Someone to share my life
Someone to talk to on the cold winter nights
And cheer me as I grow old
I wish that I had grandchildren 
Who would smile and sit on my knee
I’d tell them stories of my life and would love them dearly 

They call me John the fisherman and I can be seen every day
Working and risking my life as a fisherman 
Sailing out on the waves

(Hymn to the sea) 
The sea provides but takes away 
It’s power demands respect
Our care and love are ours to give
To guard and to protect 

Our thoughts and prayers are offered up
For those at risk each day 
To feed us all, may they be safe
Working on the waves

Machine Head #1

This sound "Introduction" has a special soul.
This is the sound produced by my friends Genesis 12 teamwork chemistry. Mastered by Grammy Award-winning Chris Gehringer (Senior Mastering Engineer).
Chris complimented the sound so much that it gave him confidence.

Waste My Time   -   The New Vigos

This is probably the last track for the Ancillary Justice soundtrack. It's also an alternative soundtrack for Jon Mupasi's mesmerising 8-hour video, albeit just three and half minutes with my track...  I guess you could put it on repeat! Haha! It's on YouTube and mossandfog.com - Worth a look, I promise!

Georg Boehme joins me on my special rendition of Wayne Shorter's "Footprints".
When I initially invited Georg to join in on this track, I did not expect to get from him the additional sounds of a small sax/brass ensemble. 
But evidently that is what Georg loves to do, and I'm thrilled with the added dimension of sound and music he created here!

Kuyale

Neon-drenched synths, gentle guitar riffs & chilled beats — this album brings cyberpunk calm. Perfect for focus, late-night drives, or simply unwinding under neon skies.

At home producer of electronic tracks in varying styles - I really enjoy experimenting with melding different genres. 
Been writing songs since the mid 70's whilst playing bass & drums in various bands (the first one was a punk band) and digitally writing since 2006. Retired now, so much more time for having fun with music :) It's just a hobby for me these days; Soundcloud is just a great place to share music & connect with people who have the same interests.  All my recent music is free to download - if you want to download any that don't have a download link, just let me know :)
I appreciate - and love to listen to - all genres, from orchestral through to metal. 

Thank you for reading, and hope you enjoy the music.
