Description : Monday afternoon I had the devastating news that a far away friend is diagnosed with cancer (treatable, but still).
These are the moments we want to be with our friends, hug them, talk, cry, maybe laugh. But sometimes we are far from our friends and family, and that's not so easy.

But we are creators, and we can always let them know how we feel with a song. This one is for you, Cindi.

Here's a rare video of me performing it :)

    Yikes man, so sorry to hear about your friend. One of my really close friends was diagnosed this year too actually and sitting by without being able to DO anything to help is so frustrating. Your care and concern for her really do shine through in this song. From what you've said above it sounds like you were trying to say something deeper and more impactful than just the words you sang in this song and you definitely succeeded. Well done!

    Holy crap Jonathan, I'm so sorry :(
    I actually had to stop and sit down for a moment. That hit me like a hammer, and obviously nothing like it must have hit you.

    I read a poem the other day that moved me to tears (I also wrote a song for it). It's also comforting though, through the pain. I hope it might give you a sliver of comfort.

    The poem is by Donna Ashworth:

    When I go,
    dont learn to live without me,
    just learn to live with my love,
    in a different way.

    And if you need to see me,
    close your eyes,
    or look in your shadow,
    when the sun shines,

    Im there.

    Sit with me in the quiet and you will know,
    that I did not leave.

    There is no leaving when a soul is blended with another.

    When I go,
    dont learn to live without me,
    just learn to look for me in the moments.

    I will be there.

    It's true that emotions make the best tracks.
    Unfortunately this is terrible what she is going through right now but let's hope and assume that it will be ok.
    To hear such a beautiful track from a friend will definitely give her a lot of support.
    Very well done!!

    You know what, I just played it again and it was great to again sing along at full power. I'd be looking forward to playing it live even (too bad I can't clone myself to sing and play all instruments at the same time ;) ).

    Hello, I think right now in this pre-Christmas period, one should think about the people who are not doing so well. To the people who have to endure great suffering. To the people who are lonely, whether loneliness is in their hearts or they have no one around them. There are so many people worth thinking about. Sick people, hungry people, displaced people. I think your song stands for all these people who should be given a nice thought, even if your song is about a good friend. Folks, just stop, stop what you're doing, close your eyes and just give someone your thoughts for a second. Greetings Manuela

    Thanks Manuela, that's beautifully said and I couldn't agree more!
    Btw some minor cleaning and updates applied and shortened the track a bit.

    Sometimes the best work we do is when we have an emotional goal, as you have presented to us here. The song is sublime, and the mix is great. I really like your vox treatments on your voice, it fits your style well. I could hear you play this live and extend the instrumental part as a coda at the end, sort of how Roxy does that on "More than this", or Mark Knopfler with "On every street". Otherwise Brilliant and my thoughts are with Cindi's recovery, Your a good friend to her mate!

    Yeah you hit the nail on the head as usual. I'll work a bit more on the bridge (wherever we are) and the ending (I'm here for you) but this'll do for now :)

    Thanks for your warm remarks buddy!
    Yeah it was cathartic, which is I guess why I wrote it in 24 hours. Let's hope it helps her a bit in the tough times ahead!

    Thank you so much Angie. Yeah there is real emotion here - sometimes my lyrics just tell a story, but this is straight from the heart. I'm also surprised at how I wrote the whole thing basically in 24 hours. I'll pass on your wishes, much appreciated!

    And good to see you active these days, you posted some wonderful songs!

    Thank you Aleksandr!

    They say my friend will be ok, but I think 2023 will be a very tough year... surgery and radiation is not a lot of fun. But medical science is amazing in how much we can do these days and how much is considered treatable, so I hope for the best.

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.

Description : I've Just looked at my old music archives and thought to bring some of them out for you guys to listen to.
Guys, a couple of friends and I, we've got Lowdown with this track.
One of us started with a chord and we followed each other.
I must say there are no sounds like the sounds of real drums.
I hope you enjoy it if you do then please leave me a comment.
