A sleepless night

Align

I was experimenting with the Tenor Sax vst in NI Session Horns and came up with this. Helen said it reminded her of the frenetic ebb and flow in the final mating flight of mayflies as they battle against time to find a mate and complete their lifecycle within a few short hours of emerging from the water.

Mayfly

I found this old track of mine that I still really liked, and since it sounded a bit more soulful/organic/pop than the more electronic stuff I usually do, I felt it would be a good idea to ask Mark (@markjbennett) to see if he would be up for the challenge to add some vocals to this. 

Thankfully, Mark agreed, and he came up with some lovely vocals. 
I'm really happy with the result and I hope you'll like it too!

Thank you Mark for another awesome collab!

LYRICS: 

Like Nothing I've Ever Known

Feels like nothing I've ever known
Takin’ me so long, 
A long way to go, 
Don’t know where I’m goin’, 
Don’t know what I’m feelin’, 
While my head is reelin’, 
Not sure what I’m sayin’, 
Am I goin’ or am I stayin’?

Like nothing I’ve ever known. 
Passion and exhilaration.

Takin’ me so long, 
A long way to go, 
Don’t know where I’m goin’,
 Don’t know what I’m feelin’, 
While my head is reelin’…

Passion and exhilaration.

…Takin’ me so long, 
A long way to go, 
Don’t know where I’m goin’, 
Don’t know what I’m feelin’, 
While my head is reelin’…  
Takin' me so long,
 Takin' me so long, 
A long way to go...

Won’t be the first time,
 Nor the last time, 
That I fall, fall in love. 
Yet this time, It just feels a little serious, 
Not a bad way, 
Just a sad way, 
I don’t know how to take.
 Yet this time,
 It just feels a little curious. 
Won’t be the first time, 
Or the last time, 
That I fall, fall in love. 
Yet this time, 
It just feels a little serious.

Feels like nothing I've ever known. 
Passion and exhilaration.

Takin' me so long, 
Takin' me so long, 
A long way to go...

Won’t be the first time,
 Nor the last time, 
That I fall, fall in love. 
Yet this time, It just feels a little serious, 
Not a bad way, 
Just a sad way, 
I don’t know how to take. 
Yet this time,
 It just feels a little curious.

Like Nothing I've Ever Known (Wane of Summer & Mark J Bennett)

Mystery

Look at this space
A void of no consequence
A measure of indifference
A hollow existence
Flood light into this space
Bright light
Fill this space with sound
Sweet sound

Thoughts. Inspired by Led Zeppelin - c r u m i u s  +  David. k. A. Spencer.

The ancient metropolis of Istanbul probably derives its name from the Greek 'Stin Polis' ('in the city')(according to Sean Lusk's excellent book 'The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesly)having previously been Constantinople the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
This incredible city spans the continents of Europe and Asia and reflects aspects of both in its culture and people. 
(Photo taken from a trip on The Bosphorus...the waterway dividing the city's continents.)
