Late to the party with this IPG1 open collab, but as a revenge there's a quintuple shuffle rhythm lurking around the corner. Thanks Ian, that was fun!

Taking It Back ft. Ian Greaves aka IPG1

The Great Escape

Our family mascot in the cover photo is a pottery piece created by me and my wife.

Our Family Mascot

Swirling the silence amplified
Falling so crystalline
Whirring a distant hum that slides
Seizing unyielding time

Swathes of yellow fading
Fleeting moments swaying
Fragments breaking through
Moments we once knew

Veils of drab hollow magnified
Falling so crystalline
Whirring of dances reeling by
seizing unyielding time

Stasis of Reeling Dances

'Emeralds and Leprechauns' An Ambient track inspired by the many myths and legends concerning Leprechauns in the Emerald Isles.

Emeralds and Leprechauns

Cast of Characters:
The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel –MD-- vocals and lyrics in the choruses
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and vocalized tones at the end, verse lyrics and melody, composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, vocals on the verses

This is a song that originated with Ken several months ago. He wrote the whole thing on piano, guitar, and drums and presented it to the rest of the band. Of course, everyone was very excited to add their spin to it. Josh added his bass part first, as the foundation. Then JJ added his dynamic piano part, which ended up being both foundational and stylistic. Stephen added his solid foundational guitar to it, too, soon after. Then it sat, stalled out for need of some vocals. Of course, we asked TMD to add some, which he did in grand fashion. All that was left were the verses. Ken wrote lyrics, and gave Josh an idea for the melody, so he sang the verses to wrap it up. Of course, we asked Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did so well, as always.

  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Don't need no religion to pray
Don't need no opinion to say
Say what I feel
Pray when I kneel
It makes no difference to me

Don't need no secrets to keep
Don't need no dreams to sleep
Sleep when I'm tired
Secrets undesired
It makes no difference to me

Chorus

No tears
No fears
It's just the way that it is
No cheers
No jeers
It's just the way that it is

Don't need no physician to heal
Don't need no politician to steal
Steal from the poor 
Pain I'll endure
It makes no difference to me

Don't need no education to learn
Don't need to go back to return
Return to where
There's no knowledge to share
It makes no difference to me

Chorus

Don't need no flowers to grow
Don't need no ill wind to blow
Blow me a kiss
And if you miss
It makes no difference to me

It makes no difference to me
It makes no difference to me
It makes no difference to me

It Makes No Difference To  Me (Cooper/Donkin Collaboration)

Sinful life with you- our version of a Timbuk 3 song ( ours is better !)

Sinful life

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.
