Oh i was pleasantly surprised. Your voice is amazing. This is a beautiful song and will be sharing this on my underground SC playlist so hopefully more people discover your talent! I love the radio kind of effect you put on your voice as well

Absolutely beautiful song, Jonathon - love it!!!!

Jonathan, the lyrics touched my heart❤️

you just made Soundcloud better. This is beautiful.

This is a cover song that Rekha and I did.  It's a Carpenters track and we held on to most of the original arrangement but took some creative license otherwise 

For me the Carpenters are like John Denver or the 80's hair metal scene - something I enjoy but don't tell just a whole lot of people about.   Doing this one was Rekha's idea and I think she nailed it.   This track is brought to life by her killer performance.  

There's a guitar intro to this thing here.

Another note - I personally want to dedicate this track to my good friend and synth-master Steve Fullyard (@steve-fullyard) who married his lovely bride K very recently. I wish them both all the happiness they can handle.

Cover of We've Only Just Begun by the Carpenters
Songwriters: Paul Williams / Roger Nichols
Made popular by the Carpenters
Vocals - Rekha Iyern [Fe]
The rest - TMS 


Lyrics
We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
(We've only begun)
Before the risin' sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun

We've Only Just Begun - w/ Rekha

Who's that girl across the Street-Stone Pony

After a trip through the Mediterranean with the paramour of my life years ago... these lyrics emerged as an expression of gratitude and love. Yesterday those lyrics found home in this new original composition.

Forever thinking about you and the family we've made baby.

Thinkin' About You [Instrumental]

Truly an honor once again to feature Jorg Joerxworx on track.  He always seem to have the missing piece to the puzzle.  Recently sent him a request asking him to do his thing on this track, and man did he deliver. Jorg is a very talented musician who plays a variety of instruments, including the Tenor sax, which I was fortunate enough to have him grace this track with. Thank you Jorg! 
Please visit his page: https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx
Enjoy!

Another track inspired by "The Wake", a post apocalyptic novel by Paul Kingsnorth.

Buccmaster and his friends visit a village untouched by the Norman invasion. They participate in a village celebration, which Buccmaster looks back on as the very last joyful day. Even so, everyone there fears for the future.

I used my Flamenco guitar again... but economically, my early versions were too Iberian!

This is the story about a Blade of Grass....

A Blade of Grass -  by Nat Daniels

There’s a blade of grass , stuck on my shoe
It weathered many storms 
And bathed in sunny hues
But it never saw the sun 
Like I saw it in your smile 
And it never saw a kiss so sweet
Like a gentle breeze 
‘till you moved your lips on mine ..   

Chorus:
It had lead a simple life 
‘Till I tracked it through your door
It was happy and content 
Now it’s torn in knowing more
For it never knew what people do
And that love can be so beautiful 
Like Yours and Mine 

2. 
So that Blade of grass boarded a train
And it crossed a sunny border in the pouring rain
It had traveled all the world
Seeing splendour in all things
But the little grass would trade it all 
To be there with you .. 
It would be her only wish.

Chorus:
Now it’s resting on a shelf, 
By those worn and travelled shoes
And it longs to glide on wings,
In a journey back to you
To relive the dream ..  
Of Me and You
On a starry hill that’s made for two 
.....  Made for Two

There’s a blade of grass, next to my shoe
And it knows a fairy tale 
Of a night so deep and blue 
If it only had one wish 
It would wish to be a star
And to lead me back into your arms 
And to smile on us from a far..

Blade of Grass
