This is a collaboration project named Under This Sun with Sarge a musician and producer from my home town Birmingham.
A song about the things that we aren’t proud off and stay with us forever.
Stranger In Disguise 
Enjoy

Stranger In Disguise by ~ Under This Sun

A song relating to the trials and tribulations of relationships that are volatile and a rollercoaster ride. We break up, we make and we repeat the process over and over until we realise that to make this work tough love is needed for responsible behaviour.
We need to fall apart just to know how to come together.

Fall Apart  ~ Conscience Of Kings

More of a dance feel track and a change in direction for us. An amazing piece of music from Noobly and the added touch of Nat Daniels amazing voice and her own lyrical section. 
Nat as become a firm favourite with Conscience Of Kings for her professionalism, enthusiasm, incredible vocals and most of all a she’s a lovely warm person. 
My  lyrics were spurred out of watching a TV program were people marry a complete stranger.
The chances of that turning out really well are extremely low and to be honest these people must have their own personal reasons for wanting to take part.
The objective  to fall in love or simply seek 15 minutes of fame only the individuals know.
The term Selling Sunshine is a guide for building a business starting from scratch to a successful sale.
And this is what the show is offering but like any business there are no guarantees of success. 
Watching it reminded me of how emotions are a roller coaster of highs, Lows and deep despair just like setting a business up and waiting for the ride.
You either fail or it becomes a major success,  then that as to be continually maintained to stay successful.
One lady stood out for me she was determined to make a mismatch work but unfortunately the marriage failed. It wasn’t through the lack of not trying it just  wasn’t right.
Just like life everyone’s got an opinion were it’s all going wrong. 
Best to sort your own shit out before going after someone else’s

Selling Sunshine ( Hall, Brown, Daniels) 

V1 

I’m Selling sunshine 
To dry your tears 
That’s the  way 
 It just feels 
It’s Wild frontiers 
On a  Awkward silence 
That’s louder than life 
I just can’t enough 
Of this tonight 

Bridge

Tonight  
Blinding like the burning sun
Turn it up, and push it down…
Staring at an Angels light
Help me to forget … tonight


V2 

I’m Selling sunshine 
To dry your tears 
the  best I can do 
To help your fears 
21 gun salute
Would be for you 
In your secret sadness 
To free you from
This utter madness 


Bridge 

So let’s unpack this 
begin to stack it 
To find what is wrong 
Find where  we belong 
Where we belong …. x2
Belong


Outro 
The one thing she said 
Don’t come for me 
Unless I send for you 
For you x2

Selling Sunshine ~ Conscience Of Kings featuring Nat Daniels

WHO PUT BELLA IN THE WYCH ELM ! 

A true and fascinating story of an unsolved murder that is literally five minutes from my house in Hagley Woods.
When I first moved to the area more than 30 years ago I would see homemade signs around on the road islands saying……
Who But Bella In The Wych Elm.
No internet or google to look things up, so I was puzzled to what it meant for a while until a local newspaper did a feature on the story explaining.
Back in the early 1940s four  teenage boys found the skeleton remains of a female pushed down into the hollow of a wych elm tree in Hagley Woods while they were out poaching for rabbits and bird eggs to supplement their diets in war time. The skeleton had been there 18 months or more.
There are many wild and wonderful theories of how and why she was put there but still to this day no one knows the real truth.
She was wearing a wedding ring and had been a mother according to the police’s original autopsy. Why wasn’t she missed someone must have known her. 
The world  still goes crazy for the unsolved murder with films, books , plays, BBC  podcasts and documentaries still being made. One site on YouTube as received over 6 million streams, so this isn’t  just local gossip.
This lady was named Bella after the early graffiti chalked on walls in the surrounding areas that said Who Put Bella In The Wych Elm .
She deserves to be treated with compassion, respect and dignity. 
I hope this song goes a little way to that. I fitted the lyrics around to a wonderful piece of music that Noobly had already created. Sometimes it’s just feels he as a catalogue of perfect instrumentals to fit certain themes, what a talented man & friend.
If you want to find out more 
then the  BBC have probably the best  story that  kind of makes sense and cuts through the nonsense and bullshit that surrounds the murder.
Check it out on their podcast called The Body In The Tree by journalist Nicola Goodwin. Eight short episodes of fantastic honest journalism. 
The cover picture is the actual Police map that marks out the wood and where the Wych Elm was, so I’m told.
My fascination with this only exists because it’s on my doorstep and when I drive past the wood I always give her a kind thought. Her skeleton was never been  buried and stayed in Police archives for years and got  moved around the city . They have said they have lost her skeleton so are unable to do a modern dna test to trace her identity. 
More like it’s to costly and resources are better spent on recent crime not a murder over 80 years ago. She will never be laid to rest. 

BELLA
Bella oh Bella x2

V1
It seems you once were a mother, 
and you may have even been a wife
Because you were wearing a wedding ring on that fatal night
And we’re  you from around here
Surely you were missed you my dear
You’ve become a local iconic figure
know one knows you but your so familiar 
Oh Bella 

Chorus
It’s a story that still intrigues and know one seems to know 
And the graffiti as always showed 
Who put Bella in the wych elm
Bella x2 baby you deserve so more than this 
Bella x2 baby was it covered up or was something missed 
Bella baby 

Who Put Bella In The Wych Elm

V2
They gave you a name to make you exist
Bella is beautiful in Italian so hard to resist 
Theories without fact so many tales  & stories 
It was a long time ago now back in the 1940s 

Chorus 

Who Put Bella In The Witch Elm 

Into :
Bella Bella baby what was your name 
Bella Bella baby forever in fame
Bella Bella baby you deserve so much more than this 
Bella Bella baby I think  something was a miss 
Bella baby

Bella ~ Conscience Of Kings

This Sound Society 

The first release under this name with me and Mike Fox and as we often invite other artists to collaborate with us we were thought it would be better to have a working collective name. 
Then we could list the individuals who contributed  in behind the track instead of loads of names on the covers. 
A song about one way relationships and the effects it leaves.
You try and nothing changes so you are done by the third verse. 
Hope you enjoy .

Sofa Surfing ( Brownie & Fox)

V1
Can we try try & fix this
It’s diy a diy relationship 
Can we take it take it somewhere 
Instead of going, going  nowhere 

Chorus 
Cause you and me, 
Are not meant to be 
Your love  is like I’m  sofa surfing 
Sofa surfing 

V2
It moves from one place to the next 
Never knowing what is for the best
I get feeling something is reeling 
I would like a duvet day your never around to stay 

Chorus 

V3
Its your friends again sleeping on my sofa 
Im running around like a personal chauffeur
So I’m calling it a day now I’ve had my say
I’m Protecting myself from you & my mental health 

Chorus to finish

Sofa Surfing ~ This Sound Society

Kissed By The Sun 

We wrote & recorded this back in March it somehow got lost as it ended up on a private playlist. I rediscovered it when on holiday scrolling through my files and it was on Nooblys private list.
So glad to rediscover the track as we record so many in the aim to just use the best but I really liked this on hearing it again with fresh ears. 
The time out on holiday gave me a chance to catch up so many unreleased tunes which some can be revamped to present in a different way. 
We have been so prolific in our writing that we ploughed through and onto the next. We both also do solo stuff and collaborations so  it becomes a conveyor belt of one after another. So I’ve promised myself to slow down and listen more to the art that’s created and appreciate it and the people involved. So a special thanks to Noobly and everyone else I have worked with it’s been a pleasure guys. And thank you to all those people who listened, commented and reposted. 
Now onto the next tune !
Only joking …..
I hope you like Kissed by The Sun. 




V1 
You like me because I’m  a bit in the rough 
I liked you because you were posh & abrupt 
Your name runs through this like a stick of Blackpool rock
The good times shared are now moments lost 

Chorus 
You kissed me 
like I was kissed by the sun
You made me feel 
Like i was your number one 
So kiss me again 
And kiss me like the sun


V2
I’ve been Chipping away at your marble again 
Trying to understand your domain 
I’ve touched the mirror lite another cigarette 
Staring back at me  are my regrets 

Chorus 
You kissed me 
like I was kissed by the sun
You made me feel like 
I was your number one x2
So kiss me again 
And kiss me like the sun
And let me feel your rays ……

Outro 
Kiss me again x3
Kiss me like the sun 
You Kissed me like I had been kissed by the sun…..

Kissed By The Sun ~ Conscience Of Kings

A song that we wrote and recorded around three years ago. It was always a favourite of Nooblys so he has remixed it and gave it  a new lease of life .
The lyrics are based around a friend who got stuck out in Japan in lockdown. He was out there visiting his young son and couldn’t get back to England due to all flights being grounded.
This was a regular journey he had to make to stay in his sons life. 
His ex partner of many years decided to return home to her native country and took their son with her after the split. 

Stop Digging Me Out 

V1
I’ve travelled over 5000 miles
Just to see one of your gorgeous smiles
This is the hardest thing I ever can do
Spend all my time away from you

Bridge
I will ask you once
ask you twice
ask you till the
morning light 

Chorus 
Please……
So stop digging me out
You know why I’m here
Stop digging me out
I’m trying to be sincere 
Stop digging me out
This is harder than before 
Stop digging me out

V2
I have deep routed emotional rscars
These are there visible from  the highest stars
Our young child plays now alone
Cause you took him 5000 miles from home

Bridge 
Chorus 

Middle8 
The time as come for me to leave 
Another sinking feeling time to grieve 
Another carbon footprint left in the sky
Me holding back tears  from my eyes

Lead break 

Bridge 
(Till I catch my flight )

Chorus to finish…..  
I’m hurting through to my core

Stop Digging Me Out ~ Conscience Of Kings

When a complete stranger reaches out to another complete stranger in their hour of need.
She spends the time to find out what’s wrong and how it can be fixed.
Sits for hours just talking with tea, toast and sympathy. And most of all she listens in a world that talks at you. 
It’s a cry for help that’s answered  so he will always be grateful for Miss Rose White.

V1 
I could see her white dress silhouette heading for the railway  bridge 
Across the park as I’m balanced on this single ridge 
She said what are you doing hanging around up there 
I’m waiting for the last train cause I lost the will to care 
Well you will have a job cause the last one left the city at 11 o’clock 
It’s now two in the morning climb  down and tell me all your story 

Chorus 
On this night Miss Rose White she saved my life x2
Im not sure I would jump 
I was just a little drunk 
Hoping to be saved
And then you came 
On this night Miss  Rose White saved my life x2

V2
She asked my name I asked her the same she said Miss Rose White 
Such a pure beautiful soul 
On such a beautiful night 
My place  is just across the way 
You can have some tea and sympathy 
Everyone’s got a story to tell
So we sat for hours 
til  we bid our  farewell 
yesterdays battles have all been won
and try &  understand its all done
And let it go what’s in your head
It makes sense every single word she said



Chorus 
On this night Miss Rose White saved my life x2
I’m sure I would jump 
I was just a little drunk 
Hoping to be saved
And then you came 
On this night a white rose saved my life…….. x2

I thank you Miss Rose White

Miss Rose White ~ Conscience Of Kings

The acoustic idea I presented to Mike to evolve was based on the idea of creating a Beatles meets The Doors vibe.
Magic Mike worked his wonderful skill ranges including his great harmonies and invited Axel on board to give it the Doorsey Hammond/Wurlitzer sound.
A massive thanks for their incredible contributions and for being just really good people. 
The second one from me & Mike on This Sound Society project.
Hopefully more planned for the future but I think Mike is far to popular as everyone wants a piece of him. The word prolific can’t even keep up with him !
His turn out of songs is truly remarkable so if you haven’t already listened to his music go and check him out under Mike Fox along with Axel Menningen. 
I hope you like it may be a bit of a grower for some but it’s just a fun quirky pop tune.

Polly-Anna Swift (Brownie, Fox & Menningen)

Chorus 
oh Miss Polly~Anna  Swift
I know I should’ve of kissed 
Your red glossy lips 
Oh Miss Polly ~ Anna Swift
They looked so inviting 
like a  perfect gift
Oh Miss  Polly-Anna Swift
I thought you were forever the optimist 

V1
Your world is fluffy pink and perfectly round 
My world is spiky a little ugly & loud 
And When two worlds collide 
We need to compromise 
Put  our differences aside 
That’s  better now you smiled

Chorus 

V2 
So what’s my chances as i can be optimist
Did I blow it for you so I could taste your lips 
I’m hoping your thinking some good comes out of this
Even if it’s unlikely to be Mrs instead of Miss 

Finish on Chorus

Polly-Anna Swift -This Sound Society

This is the first track I've done with Noobly  where I haven’t written the lyrics!  They were inspired following a trip he made a while back to the Somme WW1 battlefields in France.  He had  been a few times and was always immensely moved.

He had a loose idea for a vocal melody too which I copied and then some with his vocal recording to bring this to fruition.

We recorded it about 18 months ago but thought we'd release now to coincide with the impending remembrance / poppy day commemorations.

On Our Way ~ Conscience Of Kings

A song that was recorded October 2023 that was just sitting in the list of unreleased songs.
I listened and thought this would work as a duet. Noobly agreed so I put it out there to an ex 90s chart star, Soundclouders and artist I know of  but with no success as the vocalists were either to busy with there own projects or some didn’t even reply with a nice no. 
I always ask Nat usually but thought for a change it might be good to work with a different vocalist as I feel I have asked a lot of her recently and didn’t wanna take the piss and for her to feel  obliged.
How wrong was I  because I spoke to Nat and she loved the track .
Her vocals on this are incredible. I’m not exaggerating when I say I was blown away by her delivery.
There is another track on our clouds called Divine Intervention with Nat  in the same style which created a little noise outside of Soundcloud among publishers a few years ago but never really got the credit it deserves. Check it out if you like a duet ballad.
We have asked Nat to do another with us so I want to thank her for the time, commitment, enthusiasm and most of all her amazing vocal range. She is a lovely person with a passion for her talent.
She is such a professional and throws herself into the moment of the song making it special. 
So as before she will always be my first choice again. 

This is a simple young love story under the stars in a tiny festival tent.

Stitch Your Name 

V1
She said words can be beautiful but love is action 
So stop talking now and show me that attraction 
So I poured another glass of wine
I said tonight is the night then we combine
My God your so cheesy but being with you just makes easy 

Chorus 
If it’s on let’s think it 
If it’s on let’s want  it 
If it’s on let’s do it 
The tapestry of natures, embroidery
Stitch your name into my heart
The first letter is always athe start 


V2 
I take that as compliment not treat  it with contempt 
Underneath the stars in a field in  this tiny festival tent 
Listening to the echoes of the weekends  event 
Will stay with us forever and be  always meant 
And I don’t think I’ve ever this felt so content 

Chorus to finish

Stitch Your Name ~ Conscience Of Kings With Nat Daniels

A song recorded in 2023 inspired by a documentary I watched based on the child care system in Great Britain.
So as we all get ready to enjoy Christmas with our family and friends spare a thought for this. 
There’re was a little boy who shared a memory that all he as left of his life with his real mother  was a few toy soldiers and a snow globe.
They sat on a shelve for him to think & remember that for whatever reason his mother gave him up. 
He was one of the lucky children who managed to get adopted and find a new loving family to take care of him. 
Others not so and stay In children’s homes until they were 18.
And here is the problem once they became 18 they became no longer a problem for the system. 
With  little or no help they  are expected to leave & fend for themselves without the love or security like a normal young person would expect from his family. 
The system is so floored & totally under funded hence kick the can down the street & watch it land at another’s feet.
Not the government’s problem anymore.
The adoption system is such a long draw out process that it puts future potential step parents off. 
So many children just stay in the system until they are 18 and then are classed as adults.
They may be adults but not ready for the world alone, outside the door.
We still guide our own adult children through their journey into further education, work, relationships, home buying & beyond.
It scares me that we have youths carrying knives & even guns for protection and in other cases just to conform to gang culture and be the big man. 
Im sure that a lot of these youths have a loving family, warm house, food in their belly & wear designer clothes. Yet still find the urge to harm someone because it makes them feel good and show off.
I’m sure we could write a fluffy Christmas song with all the cliches  but we choose not to. 
Hope you enjoy and pause for thought.
So we bring you Tiny Soldiers & Snow Globes…….. 



Intro Chorus 
Just kick the can down the street 
And when it lands at another’s feet
they can kick it on to the next 
That how they make out they are doing their best


V1
And the only thing on the upswing 
And what’s needed more & more 
(Are Tiny soldiers and snow globes
Just symbols of a life that he hardly knows x2)

Chorus 
Just kick the can down the street 
And when it lands at another’s feet
they can kick it on to the next 
That how they make out they  are doing their best
…………….
Tiny Soldiers & Snow globes x2
It’s an absolute mess 


V2 
And now it’s the end of care and totally unfair 
To defend  for yourself and to be thrown out
(Tiny soldiers & snow globes 
Are not something he can talk about x2)

Chorus 
Just kick the can down the street 
And when it lands at another’s feet
they can kick it on to the next 
That how they make out 
they are doing there best
……………….
Tiny Soldiers & Snow globes x2
Its an absolute mess 

 Middle 8  ending

And to all of you 
if only we really new
Just how lucky you really are
To be loved and treated 5star 
We all can’t have it all 
it’s really not fair 
Surely there’s enough love 
to go around and share
Unconditional love
for everyone 
but someone lost the will to care
And moved his chair x4
Tiny soldiers & Snow globes 
We all can’t have it all 



Tiny Soldiers & Snow Globes - Conscience Of Kings

The second track I have done with The Gatsbys and it’s always a pleasure to be asked to collaborate.
Dirk sent me the instrumental and like before I was blown away by his guitar work & melody.
I contributed the lyrics and vocal melodies to this.
It was an honour that he used Nothing left to defend on his latest album Cancel the winter.
So to be asked again was always going to be a yes. 
The  Gatsbys always create that live indie band sound on final recordings  especially with Bens percussion work. 
I hope you enjoy the track as I enjoyed singing on it.
We give you The Gatsbys with Gaz Brownie….



V1
He would never catch you when you fall 
Like humptey dumptey on the nursery tale wall 
I’m that 3am person who you can always call
I’ve got your back and I do what you ask 

Bridge
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s Drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. Oh my buttercup 


V2 
I will always show up when your down on your luck 
We’re all born to  places and seldom thunderstruck 
Somewhere along the way we all lose ourselves 
We must  come back stronger to say our Fairwells 

Chorus 
Whitheat happiness 
Will take away this   heavyness
White heat happiness 
It’s a long drive to confess your happiness 


V3
Let’s move away from what we only know 
To a place where we enjoy the feeling of the afterglow 
Where every single  eye only see the now
To Rebuild again & be happy Somehow 


Bridge 
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s Drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. Oh my buttercup 


V4 
I just wanna be your whiteheat happiness
And be that warrior who takes away the sadness 
Friends with benefits can’t last forever 
So look no further for your buried treasure 

Bridge 
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. buttercup 


V5 
Drive in my head im six months down line 
Time as been the healer and now you are mine
I am yours and there is another new bloodline
To be arriving in 9 months from treasure to a goldmines

Chorus 
White heat happiness 
Will take away this heavyness
White heat happiness 
It’s a long drive to confess….
Your happiness

Whiteheat Happiness - The Gatsbys with Gaz Brownie

Been at least 12 months since I last released a song I’ve recorded on the mini boss. The mini boss fits in the palm of your hand and is  a niffy bit of kit. Basically a 8/16 track digital recording device that can go anywhere in your pocket. 
Hope you like the simplicity of the recording that’s all done live and the theme of the song.
The mini boss and me give you ……
Life in a blender a song about cynical and comical modern estate life in Britain and the behaviour that we see regular on social media and main stream news. 

V1
This place just gets smaller the longer I stay
Its only the people who make it feel that way 
Look at you in last nights low cut bingo top
You won on 69 woooh who the Brighton line  
Then you kicked off in the chip shop 
On your way home 
Now strolling around the playing fields on ya expensive phone
Watching ya fella  play Sunday bloodbath football 
Let’s hope he is victorious as his reputation is notorious


Bridge 
We’ve seen it all before 
And now we see it even more 

Chorus 

Life in a blender x 2 
It Spits you out 
Chews you up 
Give you something that’s never enough 
Life in a blender 
Forgive for the love I cannot send you.



V2
Boarded up shops that can’t make a living no more
In fear of being robbed with a petrol bombed door
Dealers on corners opening selling their wears
Fake goods flood the markets 
Taxis don’t get there fairs
So you think your owed a living 
Hold out your hand so we can keep giving 
And kids that you produce
Shout Obscenities and abuse
The cycle starts over again and the offspring does the same 
We are Running on empty at a lost when there should be plenty 

Finish On Chorus

Life In A Blender - Gaz Brownie

A song evolved from an acoustic sketch that I sent to  Noobly and he liked it and set to work on it. 
He used the original vocal from the sketch so with his magical wizardry  created this wonderful piece of work. I didn’t have to do anything really. 
Nothing complicated just a song about stealing that girl’s heart .
So Conscience Of Kings give you their first song of 2025 
Romantic Thief…….


V1. 
She knows Real is rare
And real is something we share 
Our energy’s are alined
From Timbuktu all the way to mine

Bridge 

So Before tomorrow comes 
I’m Sitting here working out the sums 

Chorus 
How this  romantic thief 
Who can seal you so complete 
This romantic thief

V2 
She knows real is rare 
And rare makes you care 
Can I wrap you up in cotton wool 
I’m an Taurus china  shop bull 

Bridge
Chorus 


Romantic Thief ~ Conscience Of Kings

The Tower ( Brownie, Fox & Daniels)
By :This Sound Society 

A song inspired by taking my 89 year mother to The Vintage Boys  Rock n Roll show.
A three piece harmony group backed by a fantastic band.
After the gig my mother reminisced about her own rock n roll days mainly at The Tower Ballroom where she danced the night away with her sister, brothers & friends.
So I thought I would love to create a three part harmony song with a twist of vintage and modern rock n roll thrown in. 
Magic Mike Fox loves a challenge and Nat Daniels is always up for a sing a long with me & Mike . So from basically an acoustic version to this power house. Magic Mike waved his wand and it’s happened. 

The Tower Ballroom was an attraction in Birmingham England which opened to the public in March 1876 and closed permanently in 2017 and was demolished in 2022.
It held 150 years of history and It was located beside Edgbaston reservoir. 
The Tower Ballroom hosted a wide variety of events, including roller-skating, ice-skating, dancing, discos, weddings, boxing matches, theatre, and musical performances including many famous names that graced its revolving stage. 
It was the place to go in the late 50s/60s onwards for the young people of Birmingham to enjoy the thrill of a big live music and dance venue.
Many romances, marriages and divorces were down  to The Tower . 
My own parents meet at The Tower and went on to  have a wonderful marriage.
So I dedicate this tune to my parents and all those stories my mother told me about it and how iconic it was.
It feels like a part of me and I did visit it myself a few times for a night out  usually after yet another refurbished in the 80s/ 90s. 
The picture cover is a photo of the queue for that last ever afternoon dance. Couples who meet at The Tower and got married were asked to attend to give it a good send off before being demolished. 
Would especially like to thank Mike for his patience as always with me and most of all his incredible musicianship, producing & nice guy skills.
Nat for  another awesome vocal performance and the infectious energy she always brings.
Top people are hard to find and I’m eternally grateful to have collaborated with so many on this app and look forward to another fruitful year creating great music with great people.
This Sound Society gives you ….

The Tower 

V1
She looked across the reservoir 
Where she stood for many  years 
The Cupid of this 2nd city
With romance marriage & tears 
And if wasn’t for the tower I wouldn’t be here right  now 
It where my parents eyes meet on a dance floor somehow 

Ch
Come on …let’s  meet at The Tower
What a time to be alive 
Come on …. Let’s meet at The Tower 
walk , bus, tram or drive 
Come on. Feel the power 
Welcome to the Tower

V2
To all them happy endings & tales of the reser  banks
This is our song we are singing to send love with a massive thanks 
She had Bowie, New Order, The Smiths, The Who just to name a few 
From the 50s, 60s, 70s,  80s 90s  what decade were  you 

Finish on a double chorus ..

Alaska Does She Miss Me (Gaz Brownie)

A song on the mini boss again.
Inspired about reading an article on Alaska oil rigs and story’s from the roughnecks who work on them.
It’s a harsh cold place and they spend months apart from families, wife’s & partners.
One particular story of an Englishman that stood out was that he wasn’t certain that his love would be still waiting ….

V1
Ice flowers form 
on my windowpane
The Hope of spring and all it’s brings 
a painful winter out here
eternity since I last kissed her 

Chorus 
Alaska your so cold
Oh Alaska I wanna go home
To the warm embrace
Of my English Rose 
Alaska I wanna ask her 
Oh Alaska I need to ask her 
Does she miss me x3
Like I miss her

V2
The oil rigs they can dwarf a man 
The moneys good for the roughneck 
Saved a deposit for a our house
But being away there is no doubt 

Chorus 

V3
It’s time now for me to return 
The cold in my bones as made me old 
I hope everything is as it should
No reason to be misunderstood

Finish on chorus

Alaska Does She Miss Me? - Gaz Brownie

Another duet for Conscience Of Kings with the amazing Nat Daniels. I’ve lost count the amount of times we have shared a song we have become the husband & wife of duets lol. 
Another song I thought would work well as a duet while lying on a sun bed in Croatia catching up on older tracks last summer.
Noobly as done a remix enhancing to another level as always.
A song about a relationship that as broken down and when the spoken word of communication stops.
The rhythm of pure love as gone and nothing rhymes.
So from Prose to Poetry they aren’t no longer singing off the same sheet.
Conscience Of Kings second release of the year we  give you ….

Prose & Poetry 

V1 
We made this to be broken 
After every word, we’ve spoken
Now we Feed every  line 
Trying to make it rhyme 

Chorus
And now were somewhere in between 
Prose and poetry it seems 
We gotta let it go 
Our Prose and poetry 
you know x3

V2 
The party is no longer fun 
Wallflowers  we’ve become 
What happened to our desire 
Our flame only  flickers on the fire 

Middle8 
We drop shade into our light
Prose & poetry tonight 
The novel as come to its end
The  lyrics now condescend 
Shadows falls over us
Nothing  left to discuss 
Amplifier that bleeds out noise
Prose & poetry is Destroyed

Chorus to finish ….

Prose & Poetry ~ Conscience Of Kings With Nat Daniels

Another acoustic song taken on by Mighty Mike Fox for This Sound Society project.
Can’t thank him enough for his efforts,  skills & enthusiasm for the ideas. A double busy top bloke.
This song is about a personal experience a long time ago that still to this day can hurt when mentioned.
Then 20 years after the dust as settled the opportunity arises out of the blue to cut to the chase and talk truth & transparency about the situation.
Always two sides to a story and their version strangely favours the brave but they take no responsible for their actions and the feelings of others after they shit on you from a great height after you have been always helpful & decent to them. 
You may still love these people and forgive them but you never forget.
So it’s about people who are close to you wether it’s family or friends. 
We have probably all been there and feel betrayed but because of who they are you rise above to be a better person. 
They don’t change with time just turn inside out.
They will still be out for number one and would sell their Granny for personal gain .
To be deceitful, lie and play you like a fiddle leaving you in the dark.
This Sound Society gives you the second track of 2025.
20 years……..

V1
Time as a habit of bringing things to the surface
So if you want to get into this then it better be worth  it 
My versions different and your gonna deserve it 
20 years as passed since that day  in earnest 



There’s  a time to talk this through 
Now’s the time time for me & you
To talk……..  transparency & truth x2

V2
There’s always an excuse for why it shouldn’t of happened 
You only have reasons that  you just imagined 
And just because it’s 20 years doesn’t make it old fashioned 
So take a seat and let’s watch it all Unfasten 

Chorus 

Lead break

Finish on double chorus

V1
I thought I would remember 
 most of everything 
I can’t even remember 
a single thing
My heads out of  the window 
Just  trying to remember 
I see a white flag flying 
for a bitter surrender

Ch
Do you  know what this is it’s me talking to myself 
Do you know what this I’m talking about you too myself 
I’m a student of our history 
And your a sweet little mystery 
It’s Generation Talk x4


V2  
Love  Peace and self worth 
is all I ever really wanted 
From the birth of this 
to the way we departed
She said I love 
I said l love even more 
She said that’s impossible 
All is fair in love our war 

Chorus 


Generation Talk - Conscience Of Kings

I must admit of late I haven’t been very productive and not so active on SC so I apologise if i have been vacant in listening to your new tunes.
I needed a hiatus for a while to clear the head get some renovations done around the house without having music to think about and distract me.
This tune was bubbling away a while ago and almost used  the lyrics for a Conscience Of Kings track but it didn’t work. I decided to persevere, wrote some cords and evolved it by just doing a little bit now and then.
Eventually I finished it and this is the final result. 
I’ve kept the original live vocal and acoustic guitar that was the guide because it catches the moment. Decided on no backing vocals and just to keep it solo and I don’t use auto tune either.
And added on top with electric and keys in the chorus. Put a house drum mix sound and I think it’s cool for a mini boss recording.
The songs about capturing that first moment of saying how you both feel about each other. I hope you like it comment & repost it .
Gaz Brownie gives you Consequences…

V1
You harvest the light so beautiful
With olive tones are Indisputable
Im totally wrapped and falling under
Is that the sound of you stealing my 
thunder 

Chorus
I like the   Consequences of my good intentions 
I like the consequences of the things I just mentioned 

V2 
There a choir of angels on your shoulder 
Harmonising to the things  I just told you.
Take a breath in the lungs of this City 
As night falls you’ve never looked so pretty 

Ch 
I like the  Consequences of my good intentions 
I like the the consequences of the things I just mentioned 

Middle 8/outro
You have the flare for the dramatic 
You make me feel fantastic 
It’s starts with us 
and it ends with us 
There nothing in between 
Only us x4

Consequences -Gaz Brownie

Well I’ve  gone for that Rock N Roll gravel voice on this tune. Thought I might experiment to give it that dirty gritty feel after all I was blindsided.
Wrote this back in 2021 as a sketch and now Magic Maestro Mr Mike Fox as evolved it into this cool indie rock track. 
He thinks it’s the best tune to date for This Sound Society, we have done so many and I’ve enjoyed every single one so I couldn’t really say myself. The one thing  I can say is that there are no preferences to a formatted style we cover what ever mood direction the music takes us. 
But I do know one thing I am super grateful for his hard-work in making these tunes happen.
And also thanks to Mikes lodgers Kim, Sandra & Arther for their amazing backing vocals . 
We have talked about making an album in the future which seems inevitable with all these great tunes piling up. 
I’m writing this after watching an intimate night with John Power taking us through the  journey of his musical career. Hard to believe he is in my local town hall tonight and then playing 6 nights at Wembley stadium in the summer supporting Oasis with his band. A long hard journey in the music industry and a million miles from us Soundcloud remote recording rock stars.
Went off there in a tangent and a bit random ! 
So for now This Sound Society gives you
Blindsided My Dear …….

(Brownie & Fox)

V1          
There’s a crack in everything 
Cohen  said that’s how light gets in
So we circle the wagons and breath deep within 

Chorus 
You don’t know what’s it like 
You Blindsided me tonight 
When I least expected to be
You Blind…Blindsided me 

V2
It’s the things you least expect that hits you the hardest
And you never understand 
You just reap the harvest 

Chorus 
You don’t know what’s it like 
You Blindsided me tonight 
When I least expected to be
You Blind…Blindsided me

Middle 8 
You came out of nowhere 
And dug in your heals
You came out of nowhere 
Do you know how that feels
My dear 
You blindsided me my dear

Chorus double

My dear




Blindsided My Dear - This Sound Society

A song I will let you make up your own mind to what you think it’s about.
Another solo effort as I’m trying to get a better understanding of organic recording & mixing while pushing the limits to my mini boss.
Gaz Brownie gives you ……..

Glide Across The Lake 

I’m breaking bread inside my head
After every single word that you said 
Your the closest thing to perfection 
I need another fix
just just another one of your injections

Chorus 
I watch you 
glide across the lake 
With elegance & grace 
I watch you 
glide across the lake 
With elegance& grace


V2
And the papers headlines reads today
She glided even better than yesterday 
The Angel of the water doesn’t make a splash
She makes it look easy for love or for  cash 

Chorus 
 
M/8

Angels on earth are now 
a witness to my life
The past doesn’t have to be the 
future 
please take me across 
tonight x4

Glide Across The Lake - Gaz Brownie

A little Christian Grey 

Noobly and myself constantly write and record and have a vast unreleased back catalogue of songs . This particular song was only finished a few weeks ago and so we have decided to release it as we loved it.
A little Christian Grey a song about you can fear the fear but just do it anyway and you may even like it!
Different things for different situations you can use your own imagination for this one.
Conscience Of Kings gives you ….. 

A Little Christian Grey 

V1
If only my emotions were that easy to turn on and off with you
I will always leave a space in my diary just  for me and you

Bridge
Fear the fear and do it anyway 
Doesn’t matter if it goes a little Christian Grey 

Chorus 
Don’t stop I like it
Your getting inside my head 
Don’t stop I like  when sharing your bed
Don’t stop I like it
I prefer this instead 
Don’t stop x3 I like it x2

Bridge
Fear the fear and do it anyway 
Doesn’t matter if it goes a little Christian Grey 

Quite Chorus

Music fade out ….

A Little Christian Grey - Conscience Of Kings

Back in 2003 I was in a covers band called Airplay and we went in the studio off the advice of our agent to record 3 live cover tracks for promo.
This was so we had a product to use as a reference for bookings. 
The Darkness -I believe in a thing called Love
James - Sit Down 
& The Undertones - Teenage Kicks 

I read recently that 
The Darkness have scored a Number One on the US iTunes Rock Chart after Taylor Swift was seen dancing to the band’s seminal hit ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’ with boyfriend Travis Kelce at the US Open tennis.
Thinking to myself after reading this I thought I’m sure I recorded that track the same year it was released in 2003 as it was a great energetic party track for the set. I’m sure there are many covers of it on SC but this one was literally months after its number 2 chart position in England. 
I finally found it and converted it over,  so for a bit of fun I’m thought I would release it and maybe release the other two in the future at some point.
First time I’ve released a cover so should be interesting how it’s received.
I give you Airplay the covers band with me on lead vocals.
Lee Hughes - Guitars
Andy Harris -Bass
Kev Smith - Keyboards 
Dave Robins - Drums 

I believe in a thing called Love……


I Believe In A Thing Called Love (Cover) Airplay

A very recent recorded song that we felt we wanted to release as it tells the sad story of two close friends.
One friend was always referred to as the other ones Wingman.
The wingman is a man who helps, protects, or guides a friend and always has his back in any circumstances.
The story is set in the early 90s when the British underground warehouse party scene was rising. 
These two friends would travel to them after having tip offs of its location as it was always kept low key. 
They attended many of these raves that would carry through into the next day sunrise,  if they wasn’t busted by the law.
Until a fatal pill cost the wingman his life.
His friend never got over it as they were close as a coat of paint.
Conscience Of Kings gives you …..


Fallen Wingman 

Now I’m your fallen wing man 
Now Ive left you doing the best you can 

V1
Those  warehouses parties in secret locations 
They were underground with so many complications
We always found it  no matter what 
Loved that feeling of sticky  & hot 
The first glimpse of the sunshine as the doors opened wide 
We never knew what time it was except the time of our lives 
Then we hitch hike and try & find a ride 
Somehow always managed to arrive back on time 

Chorus 

Now I’m your fallen wing man 
Now Ive left you doing the best you can 
We were running it were gunning it
Under the heat of the lights 
You would say your either first 
Or your nowhere in this life
Good bye I will see you in the afterlife 

V2
I was there floating above you in the room 
Looking down on you with sadness & gloom 
I know you wanted to be so strong for my  Eve 
It doesn’t matter my friend everyone can see……

Middle8

All those tears your shedding for me 
Raise your glass  drink my favourite JD
Please  don’t rush you can come much later to avoid the crush 
I will be waiting waiting for you 
I will be waiting to do them things we used to do 

Chorus 
Now I’m your fallen wing man 
Now Ive left you doing the best you can 
We were running it were gunning it
Under the heat of the lights 
You would say your either first 
Or your nowhere in this life
Good bye I will see you in the afterlife 



Fallen  Wingman~Conscience Of Kings

Originally recorded as an acoustic song and released in my Acoustic Sky Sessions in August 22. 
This time again we invited the incredible vocals of Nat Daniels to do yet another vocal duet with me backed up by  Mike Fox on backing vocals. 
Mike as played & produced the track as on all of the This Sound Society material. When we are ready we will pick ten of the best and hopefully release an album. 
No rush as Rome wasn’t build in a day and we wasn’t on that job either. 
In the words of Mike :
What I really love about this is it's short and to the point !
We blast in , rock it up for 3 and a half minutes , and before
you know it we're gone , job done , thank you very much !
The idea is based on the male voice expressing his strengths & weaknesses and the female voice answering and how she deals with it and sees him through it.
Massive thanks to Mike for his hard work as always and super skills. Always inspiring, enthusiastic and a believer in the ideas. 
Nat for always being ready to oblige with that  fantastic vibe she brings to match her gorgeous vocals. An energy & voice that never fails to deliver. 
This Sound Society gives you …….

And for all the above ( Brownie /Fox & Daniels) 


V1
I’m strong because I’ve been weak
(Ive wiped the tears rolling down your cheeks)
I’m fearless because I’ve been afraid 
(Your not religious but I know you’ve prayed) 


Bridge
My river cuts through a rock
My persistence never stops 
So take me for who I am 
I will always be this man

And for all the above x2 

That’s why I need your love x2


V2             
I Wear my confidence with total pride
(He won’t be silenced and I will not hide)
Our eyes can speak louder than our words
(One blink and he will never be deterred )


Finish on Chorus

And For All The Above-This Sound Society

Another song recorded recently.
I’m always blown away by Nooblys production but this was off the scale for me I literally send him files of main vox & backing harmonies and leave him to it. My reaction was Wow  this sounds ridiculous.
I never know what to expect as he loves to experiment with them and chops and changes the arrangements for maximum effect. Such a talented producer as well as musician and great friend.
The song tells the story of how you evolve from a relationship to realise that it isn’t going anywhere. She thinks it just a blip but you know it’s just your evolution from the situation & time to move on because now you are ready. 
Conscience of Kings give you …….

My Evolution 

Intro
Our traffic lights of life
Went  from Blue green yellow to red
passing souls  in the night 
Knowing something isn’t right 

This is my evolution 
Not a mini  revolution 

V1 

It’s not the person who changes it only the mask that’s falling off 
There are reminders everywhere 
To a time when I really cared

Chorus 
This is isn’t a revolution 
Just part of my evolution 
There is no solution 
This is just my Constitution
To my…… evolution 

Lead break

V2 

So I’m going to finish it 
and leave it right here 
Don’t wanna see what tomorrow brings 
I know we’ve been closer than Close
That seems like a long time ago, now I feel like your ghost

Ch

Outro 
You can call it a mini revolution, it’s
It’s still my evolution 
It doesn’t make a difference. There is no solution.
It’s just my evolution from you

My Evolution ~ Conscience Of Kings

A bit of a new thing for me to be involved with but I enjoyed the challenge that faced me. Firstly to sing someone else’s lyrics is a real first on a collaboration and to work off a sketch that was to be finalised.
The Eclectic Collective is an open collaboration where musicians are invited to contribute. 
Ken of K2  & the three invited me and sent his sketch and the lyrics by Joseph Shelton for me to work with. 
Joseph's lyrics I liked and  Ken’s sketch was tempting enough for me to think this can work really well. 
So I hope you enjoy the song and I thank everyone involved for bringing it together.
There are four different mixes on the cloud of this song I’ve released my favourite. 
Generation X a song about being kids in the years born between 1965 and 1981. The good old days apparently!

Generation X

V1
Where were you on those days gone by
Were you out by the tracks where the lone train whistle cries
Or kicking up rocks on those dusty roads of dirt
Or skating on streets 
wrestling on the grass beneath endless sky

Chorus 
On days gone bye
On days gone by
To be back there again
On days gone bye
On days gone by
For all its lows and for all its highs 
Where were you on those days gone by

V2 
In an attempt to release their star light
Bonded by hours
To a brotherhood we believed would never die


On days gone bye
On days gone by
To be back there again
For all its lows and for all its highs x2


Middle8 
All the times we returned bottles for cash
All the times we placed coins on the railway track
All the times we watch the street lights when they came on it was time to go home

V3. 
Where were you on those days gone by
From within this dull petrification of time
On days gone by
On days gone by
On days gone by

Lead break 

V4
Where were you on those days gone by
With a tape in the walkman
Playing the soundtrack of passing time
On days gone bye
On days gone by
To be back there again
For all its lows and for all its highs x2
On days gone by
For all its lows for all its highs 
On days gone by 


Generation X -Eclectic Collective

Gaz Brown, a singer songwriter and the other half of Conscience Of Kings with producer and multi musician Noobly.  Also I’m  a writing partner for Under This Sun with producer and multi musician Sarge, Mike Fox multi musician and producer of This Sound Society, multi musician & producer Jeff Roberts under The Bird Thiefs .
Also two tracks with Denmarks The Gatsbys 

I fell back into writing during 2020 after a 20 year absence. I think the hiatus￼ must have done me a world of good as I haven’t stop writing since, with over 200 songs recorded in studio or demo form. It’s just great to be back doing it again and not having to rehearse in sweaty lock ups and constantly playing live. I have the comfort of my own small studio room and do everything remotely
Having previously only ever fronted bands, the most successful one being 90s psychedelic original underground indie band This Elegant Chaos. I finally bothered to learn guitar and keyboard in the past couple of years .I just wish I had bothered when I was 15 as I might be decent by now!
My songs on this page are just born out of being creative and probably don’t sound nothing like my influences unlike the band page on sound-cloud of This Elegant Chaos.

Influences include late 70s new wave, late 80s indie guitar bands and the 90s explosion of ￼￼the Brit pop era and anything else that’s decent, whatever the style. If it’s good it’s just good!

The demo songs have all been recorded on a Boss Mini BR80 that fits in the palm of my hand. 
It’s all my own work except the  collaborations that are listed above 
Always open to doing any collaborations with other Soundclouders, don’t be shy to ask. 

Hope you enjoy and please feel free to comment and follow. I will always check out genuine follows who put a shift in on my music . 
Remember this is a music community and support is vital without it what’s the point . 
Thanks Gaz 👍
