Beautiful song my friend! Heartbreak always makes for good music!

Really love the rhythm of your acoustic playing,

Lovely song Dave , well done both you and Glen !

Very nice.  Takes me back to high school, when this type stuff was topping the charts.

Had another blast on this , fabulous track !

Like this 'the writing's on the wall' lost romance song Dave and Glen.

Alien Mind
Mankind is slaved
Call Me, Call me now
I'm running
Running in the infinite sky

Alien Mind

Brain Storm

The last lemming didn't jump and all my counting eggs have hatched, for it seems my desires are the walls of my prison sometimes.  Stepping forward into our future, from time to time you got to get drop heavy.

Tomorrow’s World Symbiotic

Traditional Welsh folk song ("Llwyn Onn") 
English lyrics by Thomas Oliphant (19th century)
Vocals and Instrumentals by Layna Claunch

The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking
The harp through it playing has language for me
When over its branches the sunlight is breaking
A host of kind faces is gazing on me
The friends of my childhood again are before me
Each step wakes a memory as freely I roam
With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle o'er me
The ash grove, the ash grove again is my home
 
Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander
When twilight is fading I pensively rove
Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander
Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove
'Twas there while the blackbird was cheerfully singing
I first met that dear one, the joy of my heart
Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing
But then little thought I how soon we should part
          
My lips smile no more, my heart loses its lightness   
No dream of the future my spirit can cheer
I only can brood on the past and its brightness
The dear ones I long for again gather here
From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me
I lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome
And others are there, looking downward to greet me
The ash grove, the ash grove again is my home

Lyrics by Glen Granthem

I have to let her go, it's time to let her go
Cos she don’t want me  -  "She don't want me" 

It's hard to say, yet so easy to see 
That girl don’t want me  -  "Girl don’t want me"

Chorus 1

Overpowered by the price she paid when she was younger
She says she’s in control but controlled is what I see

Because it's in her eyes, that pain she hides  
It still lingers   "It still lingers”

She guards her heart, from the better parts 
So not to love me  "Girl don’t love me "

Chorus 2

I must admit at times I’ve failed to understand her
She needs her time and space, so desperately 

Solo  

Chorus 3

Like the freedom in the sun and wind, she can’t be smothered
But they'll never be a place inside, her heart for me

I think I’ve always known, So I must let her go
That girl don’t  love me  - "She don’t love me"

Although I love her so, she’s gotta go
That girl can’t love me  -  "she can’t love me "

Outro ending  

She don’t love me, she don’t want me,  she don’t need  me
   
That girl  don’t want me...................

I Must Let Her Go (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration with Video)

How far have i gone 
What is this road i’m on
That leads so far from home

Are you here with me now, 
Now that i need you, No, 
i lost you long ago

And I’m barely hanging on 
I need to find the way today
And darling, I miss you so
just give me a sign and lead the way

If it’s the last thing i do I’m coming home to you
back where i belong
I’ll find the way No matter what it takes
down this road so long
You don’t know what’s here till it's gone

In some other life, Or maybe a distant dream,
that i don’t quite recall
But I close my eyes, and i’m there it seems
where you and I had it all

The sound of the children play
And the dogs out in the yard  
The fragrant flowers bloom away
It all seems so near and yet so far

If Its The Last Thing I Do

Then I Think About His countenance

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.
