Hello everyone.  Yes, it’s that big question – ‘What am I doing?’  Well, writing lyrics from time to time still and, now I have upgraded to Mixcraft 8 Recording Program, hopefully I will be producing better songs (but no guarantee).  If I don’t improve it’s no big deal (and if I do it’s still no big deal lol).  In those quiet moments in life I still manage to find time to ruin the peace and quiet by creating a new track.  Ideally, there are other people out there that do like the sounds I throw together and, if so, BONUS!!!  Listen and, if you do like them, great! but, if you don’t, then hopefully you may in the future.  Improvements on many of my recordings are required and, as time progresses, they will be made hopefully.  That’s all for now – update over!

This year is the 30th year of my lyric logging history and nearly at a total of 900.  Feel free to give your opinions on anything regarding me and my songs but, understand, many lyrics were written with no intention of impressing anyone.  It was just my way of exercising my brain at that particular moment in time in an expressive or creative manner (like an artist’s doodlings you could say, in many cases).

Hello everyone,

Since my website was repaired it has been inaccessible unless you are, or become, a subscriber it seems.  I have removed an app causing this and now I think it can be accessed by anyone.  If you cannot access  www.the-lost-connection.com directly please let me know.  Thanks.

Hello all readers (and subscribers)
Well, after wiping my song database clean and then having a glitch with this website, which disabled me from using it, all is working once again.  I am slowly creating new tunes and re-creating some of the old ones.  I’m still not in ‘pro-mode’ yet, but am getting responses from unknowns seemingly wanting to link-up with me.  I have 454 subscribers on this website and I don’t even know who they are without doing a bit of research, so if all the subscribers could interact a little and tell me what songs they like and dislike and maybe give me some tips.   It is very weird having this many subscribers and not knowing who they/you are and what they/you think.  So, just so I can get to know you all better, then how about sending me an email saying what made you decide to subscribe to my website, or even if you just say ‘hello’ that would be nice.  I need you to motivate me into being more musically productive, rather than doing very little in my home most of the time.   I am recording new tunes, but if I know that people out there are genuinely interested then I will spend a lot more time on recording them better and more frequently.  Thanks.

Hello all,

Finally, the hinderance has been removed (a plugin apparently) and www.the-lost-connection.com website is now up-to-date and can be viewed by anyone and everyone again. If anyone out there would like to subscribe to my website, please do. It has been 30 years since my first song lyrics were declared complete and now nearly at a total of 900 titles. As with most writers I cannot deny there are lots of moments when the lyrics were not very good, but the majority of my lyrical (and musical) pursuits and creations have been very fulfilling and hopefully can be enjoyed by other people like yourself. If what I write doesn’t interest you then that’s cool, but thanks for reading this despite the fact, lol. If you have any opinion to cast on it all just leave a comment but, as you know, it is what it is…

Hi all,
Been very lyrically active lately.   I am just about to update the ‘Lyrics List’ as I have now written 891.  As these lyrics are liable to become songs, and are often quite personal sometimes, then I will have to put certain restrictions on the viewing entitlements.  I have spent 2 years setting this website up, but haven’t learnt too much about the security and promotion side of things.  I am going to try and learn more about how to develop this website and make it more professional….  hopefully!  One side of me isn’t interested in the business side of writing and recording, but then the other side is feeling the need to protect my work and allow limited access only.  I do have some time off work soon so I will have to focus on how to deal with this side of things a bit better.
That’s all for now.

Hi to all followers and anyone else who is spending time reading this,

If I could find a way of sending this to only the people that are interested then I would, but not sure how, so sorry to all those that aren’t interested whatsoever.  Anyway…

Recently, as I mentioned, I wiped my whole backlog of music to my songs from my keyboard.  This put a bit of a downer on the creating of new stuff and couldn’t be bothered to try and re-create the older songs.  Luckily, after a week or so and having had a chat with certain people about my lack of interest now, I was inspired and felt encouragement again.  I will inevitably write new lyrics forever I expect, but I was fortunate enough to record another couple of songs recently too.  They were created very quickly and uploaded onto soundcloud soon after, despite having said that from now on I would spend more time perfecting them before revealing them in the future.  Okay, perhaps I lied, but at least I’m back in songwriting mode now.  ‘My Wishing Well’ was a song I wrote and recorded very quickly  and was based on my getting back in the songwriting and recording mode.

I guess I don’t spend hours upon hours perfecting my tunes because I like the spontaneity of creating them and am enjoying those moments rather than over-doing it.  I find it hard  wasting time on one song when I’ve got hundreds of others to do?  Okay, they may all be average (or not even that lol) instead of being mostly average and a few amazing ones inbetween.  On the other-hand if anyone can tell me what is likeable and worth working on a bit more, please do.  If people are following me then I feel I should acknowledge the fact and focus on improving my songs.  On the other-hand, perhaps everyone is just happy to check out what I’m doing and don’t wanna be too critical (?).  That’s cool, but as I do have ‘followers’ then I feel I should allow everyone of them free downloads as a ‘thankyou’ gesture.  I will have to discover how to do that (where only these people who do follow me can download my songs).  So just tell me what you think and I’ll see what I can do.

Hi everyone,

I had my second interview on Chat & Spin Radio today, about the song ‘Falling In Love’ on the Innovator album ‘Trapped Behind The Looking Glass’. I was not planning to do anymore interviews but there is a chance I might now but, next time, it maybe in regard to my own music. And on that note I’d better crack on with my recordings, artwork and releases. A bit pointless talking about something that isn’t out there so to speak. It might not be faultless, but it’ll be a milestone to the end of ‘The Beginning’ and time to get a bit more serious about future song productions.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my songs in the future as well my backlog catalogue on SoundCloud and, also, checkout out the Innovator album(s) which I am featured on.

Bye for now and time to start the next song.

Hello all,
As you will see, or have already seen, I have changed the main page on my website.  Now the songs I like the most (of the ones which were recorded during the last 10 years) are now included within these 2 playlists.  Unfortunately, I cannot include every favourite song and some in these collections are not produced, or sung, as well as they could have been but I hope to release them, nonetheless, as 2 albums (around 150 mins of music).  It is my way of preserving my musical history as an ‘in-home, unknown songwriter, learning how to record and produce my own crafted songs with no help from anybody’.  From this point onwards, I will record all my songs with more professionalism I hope, although I may release the whole of my backlog in due course which spans over 25 years.  ‘Love Music (Ft. LuZ)’ is an example of how my productions should, or could, sound in the future (as I spent much more time perfecting this song).
Love Music (Ft. LuZ)).

The Best Of The Lost Collection 2
The next song I will be recording is ‘Inner Suns’.  I did record this song recently, as well as a couple of decades ago, but this time it will be a lot better hopefully.

I realise that the majority of people may not be able to get into this kind of music I write and record, but if there are a few out there that do like any of my songs then that is good news, but to those following me I am presuming you will like them otherwise you wouldn’t be following me, lol.  Before I finalise these two collections let me know if you think any of the songs could be replaced with other ones I have written/recorded and I will consider your advice.
Thanks,
Colin E. Pyle

The Lost & Found

Hello to all reading this.   Well, I have contacted the Yamaha Music Company and am waiting to see if there is anyway of restoring the data that was lost last week.   I’m sensing that everything I ever composed and saved in the PSR-9000 memory (over the last 10+ years) has gone.   I have various options to consider now:

1/  Try to replicate/re-record the tracks that were deleted but, because that could take literally forever, perhaps just re-recording the best songs

2/  Re-create the old songs in a more contemporary style

3/ Concentrate on creating new songs only

4/ Upgrade to a more modern keyboard now I have nothing left on my current one (except presets)

5/  Postpone new recordings and just concentrate on designing artwork for the songs that  I have already created so far and am promoting, or going to promote

What do you reckon?

I do have a plan, but it’s all about getting re-motivated after having lost 100s of hours of musical hard work that is near impossible to replicate .

That’s all for now and hopefully good things are coming!

Hello everybody reading this,
Today I discovered that every single song you can hear on this website, via SoundCoud, was accidently deleted from my keyboard.   This means that over 100 songs containing multiple tracks, with multiple sections (intro, verse, chorus, bridge, solos) and multiple sounds (drums, bass, piano, brass, etc) have been permanently deleted!!   The only good thing about this unfortunate occurrence is that I have a virtually endless amount of space to create new songs now, although that doesn’t really make me feel better about what has happened.  Luckily, despite this unfortunate occurrence I am feeling quite laid back so I’m definitely mellowing out in my old age, lol.    10 years of music gone in a second  )-8.  Perhaps I will release the best songs that are on SoundCloud to preserve them and maybe try and recreate them again sometime, hopefully.

PS.  Feels like when I was burgled of all of my possessions back in 2001.
