Aube

Feel the eyes hear the cries
Feel the eyes upon you hear the cries inside you
Demon here demon there
This ain't no time to be scared
Your hands have got to grip the hedges
Your feet stay firm on the bridges
It's you who chose to journey alone
Why couldn't you just stay home?

If you aim your desire
You could live by your own fire
Even when your spirits draw away
Hear them shaking in the grass
Can you feel them watching you as you pass?
The tiny voice that soothes is coming from you

Fear the night fear the day
The dead or the living when they pass your way
Demon here demon there
Everywhere

If you aim your desire
You could live by your own fire
Even when the spirits leave you lone
Remember long ago
What you already know
What you already know
Your way home

Demon here demon there
Don't be scared. Stay aware
You gotta stay clear. You gotta stay bold
Hands and feet gotta hold
Demon teams demon dreams
Woven out of the moonbeams
Voicing from below in echo

Carve a sigil cast a bone
Make an altar of a stone
Call to the beast beyond the foam
A gentle hand, a knowing eye, a loving tone

Feel the eyes hear the cries
Feel the eyes upon you hear the cries inside you
Demon in the heat. Demon on repeat
Why didn't you just stay home?
Now you're just all about the sight
Of the towns at the foot of the mountain
With their beckoning lights

Demon teams demon dreams
They called you out again
Now your hands have got to hold
Your legs have got to stand
Feel the eyes hear the cries
The howling of the beast
You're the howling in the peaks
You are the beast you seek

Save Your Words For The Widow (Live)

This one is very dear to me. I was asked by my composing friend Patrick Zelinski to make an arrangement for string quartet of his song Meu Amor. He wrote it to his wife for their wedding day.
This recording is made by a a quartet in London.

Dream Of The Future (Pure Electronic Version)

MantraRay is two long-time friends, Trevor Brill and Billy Raymond-Barker. Trevor lives in Cardiff, South Wales and Billy lives in Brixham, Devon. Back in the 90’s, Trev and Billy worked together in London and were part of a five-piece band gigging around the London pub circuit, Billy on guitar and Trev on the drums. Then life got in the way, children were born and the band went their separate ways. Fast forward thirty years and the boys, well, two of them, are back! The magic of electronic file transfers has made their collaboration a reality despite the geographical separation. 

Their music covers a variety of genres but is mostly filed under Alt Rock. Musical  influences include the Manic Street Preachers, Pink Floyd, Joni Mitchell, Super Furry Animals, The Cure, Rush, Stone Temple Pilots…..the list could go on and on….way too many artists that they both love and enjoy, mainy from the “rock” genre but not exclusively, also enjoying Ska, Motown, Pop and Electronica. Their lyrics often reflect the emotional turmoil existing within personal relationships, grief, loss, love, sex as well as events such as 9/11 and the war in Ukraine. 

They released their first album, MantraRay – The Collection, in October 2021 and quickly found themselves many new fans who enjoyed the diverse range of songs, even being nominated for Tim Burgess’ Album of the Year 2021 by Ricky Spence. Their single releases have been similarly well received, Just Like the Sun being voted into the top 30 songs of 2022 in the Indie 100 Cup on In Your Ears Music and Sunflowers being selected as Duggystone Radio’s single of the month for January 2023. 

Their second album, Between The Lies, was released on 1st December 2023 and all profits from sales were donated to the mental health charity, Mind, Body and Sole. Reviews were glowing; "Stunning" "One of the best albums of the year" "Awesome - full of soul" "WOW - something else this album - I'm hooked" "My God - such a fantastic album"...a CD is available for purchase from our Bandcamp page (see our linktree below).

Active on social media, they are big supporters of the new music scene and love to see people they know doing well. They have no interest in “monetising” their music but get their thrills from knowing that people are playing their music on the radio or listening to them on streaming sites.

After a lot of discussions around practicalities, the band have decided that they will not be playing live gigs and will simply concentrate on sharing the creation of new music online. They continue to live the message “Enjoy yourselves, it’s later than you think, but never too late!”
