Trying to get back to some semblance of normality but thoughts just keep returning.

My saving passion, apart from my darling wife, family friends however is the very essence of my being music and that has given me a great outlet and the situation has given me a burst of creativity.

I wrote a piece of music for mum and it was played on the day entitled All of My heart (Owed to Mum). Listen here.

I re-worked it and added programmed drums, bass guitar and strings here.

I wrote lyrics and did vocals on another Dave Patterson song entitled Are You Lonely that I will post a link to shortly that captures my thoughts through the difficult time..

Lastly, I re-worked the vocals on a song that is in for the Penguin books James Bond theme song for the new Bond Movie Devil May Care that you can hear here, with the credits as follows -

The Rock version of DEVIL MAY CARE Credits Steve 'Pleasuredome' - Vocals, Lyrics, and Spoken words. Dave 'Studioplayer' - Original music, Guitars and Bass Bill 'R4M' - Lead Guitar Paulo - Keys Aidan - Strings Todd 'Moseskane' - Drums NickT - Mix/Master, and final song arrangement CosmicDolphin - Additional lyrics/production assistance, song arrangement

DEVIL MAY CARE in the city stands a tower so tall if no-ones there who will hear it fall foundations built through many years covert party approaching near an end in sight, transgressors justice unexpected, but possible life-twist to kneel, resigned to meet lead's destiny or queen and country to win the day all because you must make the break with protocol, you must break the rules when you set out your stall when representing the few, must keep your eye fixed on the ball with no escape they won't even try to crawl when you break with protocol rules are there, some say to be broken unwritten words so softly spoken body language that's never seen behind grand gestures, so clearly token whispered direction from unlikely places concise instructions, but never faces if they fall on deaf ears are they heard inaudible guidance with no human traces all because you must make a break with protocol, you must break the rules when you set out your stall representing the few, your eye must stay fixed on the ball with no escape, they will have no curtain call there's just one chance you have at this you must prepare the hit without confusion's mist closing in where angels dare fulfill the mission, DEVIL MAY CARE the time is now to make your break with protocol, to break the rules, clearly set out your stall representing the few, never lose sight of the ball with no escape, they will have no curtain call you only have one chance at this you must prepare the hit, the enemy dismiss enter the arena where angels dare to hell and back, DEVIL MAY CARE now's the time to break with protocol you can't be late to make that break with protocol protocol

So, as you can see, things have been fruitful, but born out of sadness
