Thank you JJ what a lovely message.  Well I love your poems.

Really good track and vocal, Erris. Great new version.

it's the original version. I got no responses from DJ's so o thought there was domething wrong with it  paid 1500 to have it redone.    aaah sure we all make mistakes.  I love Larry Hogams stems though, he's so professional.

The burning eternal question - do you love me?
Do you love me, you love me?
Well so do people who sell ice-cream
They'll say anything, they think I'd like to hear

Do yo love me like they do?

Hey girl, you better watch out
cos people care not for what you may
Though it's written on their faces
They hide behind sweet words

Anybody for ice-cream (or tennis)?
(a nod to @nic_nic_nic: Nic for tennis suggestion)

Hey Ho

time to finally upload a song with a bit of orchestration.  We all sometimes needs a reminder to keep holding on.

Keep Holding On
When all the darkness surrounds you
You don't need to know the answer
Keep Holding On

Don't be afraid
Just let the world crash around you
You don't need to know for certain
Don't be afraid

We're too far gone by now

They say life is too short
To figure out your destination
The stars keep shining bright without us
They say life is too short

Keep holding on
When all the darkness surrounds you
There ain't no need to know the answer
Keep holding on

We're too far gone by now

Keep Holding On

Happiness (for Núria & Mia)

In response to "how many flats does Doria have?".

Doria had two flats. However, freaky Phrygia barged in, took her 6 sharps along, sat on Doria's spot and sewed herself a pillow. Everybody got enharmonically confused. Ancient Greek chicks, haaah. Leave them alone for a minute and there is a quarrel.

Usurpation!

There's a last time for everything and it is possible to be sentimental over an old trusted machine. I must make one last journey in the old ship before the technology revolution makes it uneconomic or, worse,  socially unacceptable.

Thanks to Elena for allowing me to participate again in her cover of this beautiful Elton John's classic . A great pleasure to have tried to bring an accompaniment to support her superb vocal interpretation.  Use headphones for better listening                                                                                                                                      Vocals : https://soundcloud.com/echosonica

Photo from personal archives. In the foreground, my ancestor, buried and left for dead for several hours on the Alsace front in 1916.

Lyrics :

I am a man, in a trench,
Here the Germans, there the French,
I'm still alive, is that luck ?
How to survive the clusterfuck ?

Mud and water everywhere,
Smelling powder in the air,
Corpses around as context,
Unready to bound, who is next ?

For a long time I've been waiting
For the end of the killing.

Holding the breath, for shooting,
Going to death while charging,
Whistling bullets, raining bombs,
Sounding trumpets, and crying moms.


Desolation, absent god,
No desertion, firing squad,
Cannon fodder, Sacrified,
Angry masters, satisfied.

For a long time I've been waiting
For the end of the killing.

Choir trained, classical piano when I was young. Had fiddle lessons 9age to 14, every Thursday night. taught myself tin whistle, and I learnt to play guitar when I was in my 30's. Still not a great musician, but I love to sing and harmonise. sang lead and B.V in Irish pub bands in my 20's, then ran a music venue for a while. life took over and loss and heart break made me write lyrics. before that I just wrote music at PHD level. inspired by Irish music, Mary chapin carpenter, Mary Black, Enya, and Lady A. People say I write like Carol King, I kinda agree. Doing radio promotion presently, in UK and USA. Will work closely with Tim Bond to complete the 1st album. I've written 3, maybe 4 by now.
