Words:

Fire serpents and dragons are stirring 
Deep down in the hard, cold iron of Earth. 

Slithering land wights are waking, 
And wriggling and stretching, 
Woken from their sleep by the return 
Of the song of the Sun, 
Its melody singing all dreamers awake,
To light the cauldrons and fasts to break. 

Lady Slipper yawns and opens her petals 
To a bold west wind ruffling her labellum.
Thunderclouds above ominously threaten. 

An ash in full livery, its leaves right on time,  
Stands next to the winter-nude of an oak. 
So the old wives mutter in iambic rhyme,
“Ash before oak, we’re in for a soak.” 

Great Spotted Woodpecker drills Mars’s drum 
In a military tattoo, to marshall the bugs,
The soldier beetles and bark-gnawing weevils, 

Now Luna turns russet red in Earth’s umbra, 
A covenant of balmier days without number. 

Wyrm moon, Cold moon, Sap Moon
Pulling on the tides, rising 
And not just in the flooded rhynes, but 
Coursing up the loins of men too, 
Their reveries of love fine-tuned 
To Jack in the Green’s reciting 
To the tremolo thrill of Pan’s piping

Labyrinth Spider stands guard on the dell, 
While Salamanders ring the bluebells 
To peal out harsh winter’s fare-thee-well. 

Pixie-cup lichen arrives in the Vale, 
And elves riding turkeys with blue ruffled tails
Then ... Amanita Muscaria sings her aria, 
And Cuckoo tells us Spring is finally here.

Martin Hughes - By Your Side

Sunrise

"Take that"

Words and Music Andrew Smith/Vitor Pegas

So Down in Lisbon Town as I walk these streets tonight 
Graffiti on the Wall It’s a wake-up call, I’m so happy I can see the light 

But waiting here by the Ocean Pier
Night time is falling, my heart is calling
got your letter, feel the tremor

Half a million Souls in this land of old, sway to Fado in the air
Heading for Alfarma, I am Vasco Da Gama, just a lover without a care

But you’re not there in Rossio Square
Saint Jorge is smiling, Castello’s beguiling
Vasco Da Gama, he knows what I’m after

10,000 Miles just to see your smile, like a rider in the night
Lost and Found as I as I hit the ground, heaven knows I’ve got the right

And you’re not there in Rossio Square
Saint Jorge is smiling, Castello’s beguiling
Vasco Da Gama, he knows what I’m …tonight

Now I’m home but you’re not there
Your scent lingers in the air
Walls they whisper what’s been said
…and your there sleeping in our Bed!

So Down in Lisbon Town as I walk these streets tonight 
Graffiti on the Wall It’s a wake-up call, I’m so happy I can see the light 

As I lay down beside you and as   I close my eyes
Saint Jorge is smiling, Castello’s beguiling
And Vasco Da Gama, he’s got what he’s after…tonight

Lisbon Town

Please enjoy this journey with me and never stop dreaming!

Things in life often depend on your point of view... You can turn any classical piece into a metal song. Thanks to Mr. Maurice Ravel for this wonderful composition, Boléro, in 1928. Now, it has been reforged.

I'm a music producer who loves creating emotional music, mainly in the Trance/EDM genre. 

I do a lot of sound design as well as making my own tracks, collaborations and remixing.
I want to share my music with as many people as I can, while taking time to listen to what other musicians/producers create. 
The reason I make music is purely passion for what I do, hopefully meeting like-minded musicians along the way.

I've been making music for a few years now, making original tracks and entering remix competitions.
I previously had an album release on Beatport and iTunes and some remixes I made are also released on Beatport.

I aim to get as much feedback as possible to try and make my music better in any way I can, to reach more people and to help others along the way. 

Please take the time to listen to my tracks and let me know what you think. If you think your fans will like it, kindly repost. 
I will always aim to do the same for others, helping them on their journey.

Thank you to everyone who supports me on my journey.
