@the-glen-granthem-band: It worked out great.

Oh this is a fabulous track guys , well done !

Cheerful music. Lyrics are a bit ambiguous ie not entirely cheerful at all. Thinking about people who have died and growing old... almost like being pushed out by babies being born ... and so the cycle continues  Where does the individual belong in all this?

Oh yeah, such a nice and easy feel with some fine vocal blending. Smooth and ultimately provides a really enjoyable vehicle to tell the tale we will all encounter, along the way. Great job guys!! Durge

This song has a great feel to it... Well sung, cool harmonies and music.

I really like the backing vocals in here, sounds really good

Luc Clouseau is the proud son of the French inspector Jacques Clouseau and his ex-wife Simone Clouseau. Having the same talent as his father for investigation, he is to police investigation what P.D.Q. Bach is to music, a total disaster. Stay tuned on Fetchflix TV during the next months and enjoy this new series called “The wacky adventures of Inspector Looso”.

Musical note: You may recall the theme I used in the Rust & Bones Inspector Looso track. However, this time I tried to use the humor and derision of John Williams and added the sarcastic tone of the American composer and musical satirist Peter Schickele who created the fictional composer P.D.Q. Bach as well as the Gerhard Hoffnung humoristic music.

A Shade of Blue

A Shade of Blue Revisited: Collaboration

In the family of water lilies, Nelumbo nucifera or the lotus flower is also known as the sacred lotus because it symbolizes qualities such as purity, rebirth, enlightenment, longevity, and resiliency. In muddy swamplands the lotus has thrived for more than a thousand years, producing beauty in the midst of muck. 

I hope you enjoy my lotus-inspired tribute of a powerful symbol of overcoming adversity and relentless creativity.

Set at a hypnotic 83 bpm, I’ve included a mix of sounds — a little synthpop, jazz, R&B, Latin, neoclassical, and definitely chill. 

P.S. One of the ancient Sanskrit names for Lotus 🪷 is Kamala. ❤️😀✌️

Sacred Lotus

No Sun On Monday

I sketched a short piece out of some melodies that came to my mind while I was dozing off early in the morning.

Simba, the adorable cat in the picture(2015), used to live in my neighborhood, but seems to have moved into the cat world a long time ago... I wish him all the best!

Voici Une chanson composé par Steve Zeitoun, 
Paroles : Steph Ouna

Afin d'égayer un peu notre vie et d'y croire car tout est possible quand on y croit vraiment, très bonne écoute et merci !

Paroles :

A l’intérieur de mes rêves
Se dessinait un jardin
J’attends que le jour se lève
Pour commencer dès maintenant ce chemin

J’ai laissé, mis de côté
Ces pensées qui appartiennent au passé
Dès aujourd’hui un nouveau départ
Il n’est jamais trop tôt ou ni trop tard

Chevauchant sur le dos d’un dauphin
Me disait allez viens / c’est une histoire sans fin
Découvrir de nouveaux paysages
Alors suis-moi, / viens ! je t’emmène en voyage

J’ai des frissons et la passion
C’est si fort dans mon ventre alors j’invente
Je n’en peux plus de faire abstraction
Une pulsion urgente, puissante, et dévorante

J’ai laissé mes valises à la gare
Désormais je n’ai plus besoin d’elle
Si j’attends demain, il sera trop tard
Alors j’ouvre tout grand mes ailes


Refrain : S’ouvrir au monde, découvrir ce qui n’a pas de prix
Là où la joie inonde, ceux qui ont la paix dans l’âme
Sourire au monde, découvrir ce qui n’a pas de prix
Là où la joie inonde, ceux qui ont la paix dans l’âme

Oui les dés sont jetés
Un désir si fort et qui vient de l’intérieur
Sans trop penser à demain
Libéré, j’écouterai mon cœur

J’ai soif d’aventure, j’ai gardé l’espoir
Au fond de moi comme un murmure, me pousse à croire
Chaque battement de mesure, inspire, incite à s’émouvoir

Se laisser guider par la musique, instant précieux, éternel
Un mouvement doux et magique, un cadeau du ciel

A la rencontre de terres rouges et sauvages
Là où l’on chante le bonheur
Vivre libre vers de nouveaux visages
L’amour et l’espoir dans le cœur 

Allez viens ! donne-moi la main ! 
Ecoutez ce qu’ils ont dans le cœur, ce qu’ils ont à dire dirent, leurs histoires

Sourire au Monde

Written by David Cooper and Ralph Donkin.

Performed by David Cooper and Glen Granthem.

A DGR Production.

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin:

Pick it up - Put it down
There's nothing in my head
Pick it up - Put it down
Till I regain the thread

Wish I could - But I can't
Suppose I never will
Wish I could - But I can't
Make the time stand still

Chorus

TRYING TO REMEMBER
IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG
TRYING TO REMEMBER
IS THIS WHERE I BELONG

Time has flown - Winds have blown
Now look at where we are
Time has flown - Winds have blown
We've not come very far

Feeling tired - Growing old
Trying to kid myself
Feeling tired - Growing old
I could be someone else

CHORUS

BRIDGE

What have I forgotten
It seems so strange
What I have forgotten
It’ll never be the same

Solo

Thinking straight - Knew the score
Nothing in my way
Thinking straight - Knew the score
Seems just like yesterday

Another day - Another night
Another morning dawns
Another day - Another night
Wish I could right the wrongs

Way back when - Long ago
When everything was clear
Way back when - Long ago
Now I just shed a tear

Say hello - Say goodbye
Another one has gone
Say goodbye - Say hello
Another one's, Another one's been born 

CHORUS x 2 to the end

Pick It Up (Cooper/Donkin/Granthem Collaboration)

Fool’s Gold

The Righteous Brothers were one of the most inspiring music acts to me growing up in the 60’s. I always dreamed of singing like Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield  and this song is one of their numerous classics of the era. Written by Cynthia Well and Barry Mann, I made a raw iPhone recording and simply added some harmony vocals, complete with living room noises and generally lo-fi ambience. But I thought it captured my passion for those times and those dreams of my younger days. Dedicated to the yellow roses...

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!
https://shockthealgorithm.bandcamp.com/album/ultraviolet-cosmos

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.
