Walking The Road To Salvation

For my father who left us a few days ago...he was a bass player and gave me the love of music and nature...I miss you so much and wish you a few more great performances in heaven... I miss you and your cheerful nature

Thinking Of You

'Electromonk Walks A  Long Road' Is a Fusion track and which I am very happy to say is my 500th upload to Soundcloud. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this 'Long Road' and to all the players who have shared their immense talents with me on this journey. A journey which I am also very happy to say that is far from incomplete.
This version is now a remix and features Georg Boehme on Winds. Georg contacted me and asked if I would like him to add some wind parts to the track. Of course I was instantly in agreement and here now is the amazing outcome of Georg's addional work on the piece. You can find Georg's incredible catalogue here:https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme

Georg - All winds.  https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme
Alan - Composition and arrangement.All Keys and Synths, Drum and Percussion Programming, Bass, Brass and Strings

Probably already knew this, but recently I discovered that if you hand me any sheet music (especially of music in the public domain), I'll most certainly make something bizarre out of it. Sorry, Mr. Bartók!

4. Paddy Brings Peace To My World  - my other grandfather was a Wellington pilot in the RAF during World War Two. He sadly died in 1943 so I never met him. His death left a huge impact on my grandmother (who never married again) and my dad. She said he was very loving and thoughtful and felt he would have been thinking about them right to the end. That’s the approach in this song. His nickname for her was Paddy. No idea why!  Mastered by RCD Audio. 
Paddy brings peace to my world 

Crete below us, and in this night sky
Angry fires around us as we fly
They want to stop us but they can’t win
Got to see the ones we love again  

Duralumin beams form a latticed frame
Carry and protect us from flack and shells and flame 
We’re just so frightened, five anxious scared young men
Just want to see our homes again 

And I pray that they’re safe
I did what I could 
Took leave and followed Anderson’s plans
and dug 3 metres into the Surrey soil 
14 pieces of aluminium, a small sump in the floor 
All I could do to protect them from this damn war 

Because 
This crazy world has lost its mind
Angry, cruel, insane!
Paddy brings peace to my world
She soothes and she calms and she’s kind
I keep her here, in my heart and my mind
Paddy brings peace to my world 

A publishers accountant , a chippie and two clerks
and a teacher all together, up here in the dark
We’re doing our duty, the best we can
But we’ve taken too much damage and I doubt we’ll land 

Radio messages, saying we’re on fire and losing height 
We’re trying to put them out, we’re all paralysed with fright
Just trying to make it back

And I’m imagining what’s next for her
She’ll be told at first that we’re missing
Maybe dead, or prisoners of war
But she’ll never give up on me 
That’s why I’m trying to make it back 
to Paddy 

Because 
This crazy world has lost its mind
Angry, cruel, insane!
Paddy brings peace to my world
She soothes and she calms and she’s kind
I keep her here, in my heart and my mind
Paddy brings peace to my world

5. Hospital Windows- our grandson was born in early 2024 in Berlin. We had an emotional visit to the hospital to meet him. As I was enjoying the celebration of meeting him I suddenly reflected on less joyous visits to hospitals with my close family, especially my mum, in recent years and wrote these lyrics on the plane home. My thoughts are with everyone going through those difficult times. In relation to the birth, I am a very excited grandpa! Mastered by RCD Audio. 

Hospital windows 

An emotional reunion, then welcoming young Hugo to this world of ours 
Hugs and celebration 
Relief it all went well
Then sitting on the bed, 
Kissing his sweet head
Overcome with joy! 

Hospital windows, 
How many times have I
Sat there looking out 
Tears in my eyes
Facing tragedy and grief
Blinking in disbelief 
At the pain, the coming loss?
But not today, no not today
I’m looking out of this one and 
It’s about our celebration
About this celebration

I remember her distress, having just received the news that she’d been fearing 
The obvious conclusion 
To the life she’d led
Sitting in the chair
Feeling such despair 
The worst of days

not today, no not today! 

Hospital windows, 
How many times have you
Sat there looking out 
Reeling from the truth
Facing tragedy and grief
Blinking in disbelief 
At the pain, the coming loss?
But not today, no not today
I’m looking out of this one and 
It’s about our celebration
About this celebration

Here I am
Just feeling joy and love
But I know that in this building, above me or below me, will be some poor soul will be gazing
Out of their hospital window
Wondering how they’ll cope

Hospital windows, 
How many times have I
Sat there looking out 
Tears in my eyes
Facing tragedy and grief
Blinking in disbelief 
At the pain, the coming loss?
But not today, no not today
I’m looking out of this one and 
It’s about celebration
About this celebration

LOOK WITHIN:

If hearts were made of steel
We’d forge them to the shapes we wished
If eyes were X-rays
We’d see the pitfalls at our feet

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control!

If tongues were silver white  
All our words would come out right
If ears were angels wings
We’d only hear the best of things

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
All we ever can control…….. 

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow

If spines were carved of oak
Their strength would serve to make us bold
If feet were light as air
We’d rise above all things unfair….

Inhale and sense the scent of danger
All these things combine to make us
Is anything as intriguing
When we can touch it’s mystery..?

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control! 

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow...
The rest will follow...
