PLUIE ET LUMIERE prélude

Une goutte de pluie
Une goutte de pluie
Une goutte de pluie

C’est quand tout déborde et puis s’emplit
Quand tout explose et puis se fige 
Que la rivière sort de son lit
Que cèdent les barrages établis 
Tant de non-dits
Quand vient la pluie 
Quand tout s’enfuit
Quant tout s’oublie
Tout me fuit
(Tout me fuit)  
Tout me fuit 

Quand tout se brise
Quand tout s’épuise

Une goutte de pluie
Une goutte de pluie
Ouh…



RAIN AND LIGHT prelude

A drop of rain
A drop of rain
A drop of rain

It's when everything overflows and then fills up
When everything explodes and then freezes
Let the river come out of its bed
When the established dams yield 
So many unsaid

When the rain comes
When everything runs away
When everything is forgotten

Everything is running away from me
(Everything is running away from me)
Everything is running away from me

When everything breaks
When everything runs out

A drop of rain
A drop of rain
Oh...

Pluie et Lumière -prélude (with Anastasiya Ihnatovich)

Day Trippin....

We're on the blue line 
Aboard the 2a
Robotic voice says
Next stop

We're going forwards 
While facing backwards
I see reflections
Next stop

We pass the old guys
On the the benches 
Putting the world right
Next stop 
 
We're on the left side
Look out the right side
I see the cannons
Next stop 

We're on the blue line
Day trippin
Yeah 

Crowds of people
Frome many places
Hussle bussle 
Next stop

We'e in the old town
We're in the new town
A feild of new cars
Next stop

We're day tripping

We're on the blue line
Eleven this time 
Into the mountains
Next stop

It's green as grass here
7 euro's a glass here
We catch the last bus
Next Stop

We're on the blue line
Day trippin
Yeah (repeat)

Bus contoler 
Steam roller
Pick up the beach bums
Last stop

Day Tripping

Day Tripping.

Lyrics by David Cooper:

When you talk to me - I still hear your voice
Though you’ve been gone - A long, long time

When you talk to me - Tell me what you see
I see the pictures - Running through my dreams

Chorus

I hear you calling my name
I hear you calling my name

In the morning it’s okay - The daytime it’s fine
But when the evening comes around - It’s missing you time 

Though I tell myself - This just ain’t right
It happens every time - I turn off the light

Chorus

Bridge

My name - I hear you calling my name

I hear your voice - It’s there again
When I close my eyes - I can feel your pain

I hear your voice - In the darkest night
But it disappears - When I turn on the light

Chorus

Solo

When you talk to me - I can hear your sighs
Show me your fears - I can see through your eyes.

When you talk to me - I begin to see
Don’t worry baby - Just let it be

Chorus

Outro

Calling My Name (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration with Video)

Dark skies whisperin' thoughts in my head
Why's it always silence right before the thunder
Hollow echoes where we used to stand
Tears fallin' like the rain we both used to wonder

Shadows linger in the corners of my room
Memories drownin' in the sea of forced laughter
Eyes holdin' stories only darkness assumes
Chasin' ghosts knowin' we're fraggin' ever after

Scream in the silence break these chains
Lost in the echoes crossin' our veins
Cryin' inside where no one can see
Wishin' for freedom but never quite free

Walls closin' in with invisible force
Life's a jagged path forged in pain's fire
Half-healed wounds from the relentless course
Cravin' connections while sinkin' in the mire

Scream in the silence break these chains
Lost in the echoes crossin' our veins
Cryin' inside where no one can see
Wishin' for freedom but never quite free

Eyes meet the void when the lights fade out
Hearts poundin' fierce in a desperate bout
Holdin' together moments of weak
Brick by brick rebuildin' from the bleak

Echoes In Silence (Original Mix)

"Jungle" is a techno track with a rich blend of house and tribal elements. The beat sets a hypnotic pace.

It's All Because Of You

It's All Because Of You ( Fox and Harris )

Lyrics by Tony Harris  US	
Vocals, music and mix by Mike Fox  UK	
	
DADDY STOPPED FARMING	
WHEN I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD	
CAN'T MAKE NO MONEY	
HOEIN' THEM ROWS	
	
STARTED BUILDING HOUSES	
IN A NEAR BY TOWN	
MAMA WAS SO THANKFUL	
FOR THE JOB HE'D FOUND	
	
I WAS BORN IN THE COUNTRY	
NINE MILES FROM TOWN	
DIRT ROADS AND PINE TREES	
SCATTERED ALL AROUND	
	
NO BIG HOUSE OR FANCY CAR	
DOWN ON OUR LUCK	
ALL MY DADDY HAD TO DRIVE	
WAS HIS OLD PICK-UP TRUCK	
	
HAD SOME CARPENTER SKILLS	
WAS GOOD AT DRIVIN' NAILS	
THE NEAR BY TOWN WAS GROWIN'	
NEW HOUSIN' WAS BOOMIN'	
	
I STILL LIVE IN THE COUNTRY	
NINE MILES FROM TOWN	
DIRT ROADS ARE PAVED NOW	
THE PINES ARE STILL AROUND	
	
WOKE UP EVERY MORNIN'	
WITH SONGS FROM HIS HEART	
TO THE SOUND OF DADDY PLAYIN'	
ON HIS OLD WORN HARP	
	
PLAYED THEM LONESOME TRAIN SONGS	
WAS HOW HE STARTED HIS DAY	
MADE YOU WANT TO SING ALONG	
THEN HE WAS ON HIS WAY	
	
I WAS BORN IN THE COUNTRY	
NINE MILES FROM TOWN	
DIRT ROADS ARE PAVED NOW	
THE TREES ARE STILL AROUND	
	
THE DIRT ROADS ARE PAVED NOW	
THE TREES ARE STILL AROUND

Born In The Country - Collaboration by Tony and Mike Fox

Well this is a tongue in cheek rocker written by Axel , who kindly invited me to join him , we do spend so much time burning the midnight oil in our studios , that we really should be asleep by now , our wives even make a reluctant cameo appearance ! Fun and good time rocker , we hope you like it ! Me and Gaz have a cracking song out on the 7th , he's had one of his visions for a new one , so I will be visiting planet Brownie pretty soon !
But in the meantime I'm working on a song with Dave Cooper , done a few recordings with Kim , and we've done a couple of songs written by Mary Augustson ( Skippy ) that are getting played on Amazing Radio UK/USA , good grief I'm 63 , I should be reaching for my pipe and slippers !
Thank you so much for your kind support , and me and Charlottes album is still out there , it's definitely worth a listen !

Why, not take it slow….
Hey now, don’t you know?…
You are  -  My Sunny Day…….
As we sail a-long our way -  yeah
Time to swim in The Bay? 
Lot to see, lot to say?………
Touch the floor…..float Above?
It’s hot and wet with Our Love
(Chorus)
Whoa, Whoa……By Tomorrow, 
We’ll be in Sant-o A-mar-o
Whoa, Yeah, Hey, Hey…….
Time to enjoy Life….. To-day (-aw-yeah)
Cuz’ You know ……Days like these……. 
Don’t let ‘em get away - NO, Please !
In the deep, hopping Waves
Hold My Hand, help me fly……..
Grab a cloud 
….from the Sky! Yeah.
(Pause)
Going Here….. There…..
and Everywhere!
(Bridge)
Stop!……Breathe!….. Close your eyes! 
Your hair swirling…… in the wind.
Oh, yeah……(Let’s) take it all in!……. 
Feel the warm, cool
Up-on your skin!

Something About the Nighttime ©  - ROCK Version
Riff Beach Original
RiffWerx - 2017
There’s Something about the Nighttime
Something ‘bout The Night
Sometimes it just seems like The Right Time
It just feels so Right
Don’t lose your grip on The Day
Don’t lose your Inner Light
And, Don’t Let it Get Away
Keep it Shining Bright
(Chorus)
There’s Something about The Nighttime
There’s Something about The Night
Sometimes, it just seems (feels) like The Right Time
It just feels so Right
(Just feels so Right)
Bridge (Slow Transition - Key Change)
Passing Slowly
Passing Fast
Grab on Tightly
Before……The Future’s Past
(Last Verse)
In those Morning Hours of Reflective Thought
As the Sun rises slowly in The East
Well, those times, they just can’t be Bought
In which Wonders never seem to Cease
(Repeat Chorus and Out)

Up Is Sometimes Down (Lyrics Tony Harris - Music / Vocals by Eddie Harrison) Original 2012

Remembering old friends and places with such great images.  This song
was written by Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen Jr,. while they attended
Texas A&M in the late 70's. It was released by Lyle in 1986.  What an American singer and songwriter.  A gem of a song

This Old Porch   (  cover - Lyle Lovett)

Glen Granthem does his best to keep up the speed  of the lyrics and lead guitar to an american treasure...

Hot Rod Lincoln (Commander Cody) TRIBUTE COVER

I am an unsigned singer/songwriter from Sunderland in the north east UK.

I have been writing songs for a few years now and have CD's on various web sites such as CD Baby, Itunes , Spotify etc.  My goal is to write good songs and hopefully have come up with a few along the way.

I love wring and recording songs – it gives me great pleasure staring from nothing but a blank piece of paper and finally coming up with something that sounds good.

I have collaborated with other people while being on Soundcloud – my long-time partner Ralph Donkin writes exceedingly good lyrics and between us have come up with many a good song.

My other partner Glen Granthem from Sacramento in USA has also been inspirational in my recordings – he is a very talented musician and producer and has brought life to many of my songs that otherwise would have been second rate.  We also have collaborated on many songs.

I have written songs with other people and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their endeavours.

Thank you for all of you that have listened and commented on my songs and those who will in the future.  I am very grateful that you stopped by and listened – hope you have enjoyed what you have heard.

Again many thanks and good luck for the future in your musical endeavours.
