Good morning to all readers!

At the moment, most of my lyrics I am typing on my FaceBook ‘notes’ section and then linking to them to my ‘Complete Songs, Lyrics and Poems List’.  If you want to view  the lyrics which I have added go to www.facebook.com/thelostconnection.  Come into the world of ‘Lost’ but not forgotten, lyrics’.

Thanks.

Colin

Back in the 1990s when 4-trackers were cool, I recorded lots of songs. Unfortunately, when burgled by a lodger on December 21st, 2001, the 4-tracker was stolen amongst many other things.  Between 1994 and 2001 lots of songs were recorded, but just remained on tape and, after moving several times, the recordings were hidden away and forgot…  Well, not forgot, but I forgot where I hid them.  Some of the recordings were transferred into computer formats, but many remained on tape and were never to be heard.

Over the next few weeks I will transfer these recordings onto my SoundCloud website.  Meanwhile, I will upload the lyrics to these songs and see what response they get.  They will all be attached to the ‘Complete Poems, Lyrics and Songs List’, so they can be listened to by anyone if they want.

The songs that I will be uploading are:

1.  Twist
2. Do It!
3. Let Me In Your Tunnel Of Love
4. Radio 1 – The Nation’s Number One
5. You’re My One And Only Love
6. If Only! (the complete version)
7. Time For Change
8. Shadows And Light
9. Unknown Origin
10. Love Music (the original version)
11. Goodnight, Sweet Love
12. Moment Of Despair
13. Blue

There maybe more, but that is all I can remember at the moment.

I cannot guarantee that they will be liked, but I will be happy to upload them finally, rather than leaving them to continue to collect dust and never being heard.

Thanks for reading this and I hope you check out the lyrics and songs which I will be uploading soon.

Bye for now,

Colin

As you all know, I am not a very good singer in the grand scheme of things (and certain people might say I’m ‘not a singer full-stop!’) so I was wondering if anyone out there is interested, or knows somebody who maybe interested, in adding vocals to some of my music to complete the songs.  I have uploaded loads of ‘music only’ tracks and am gradually adding all of the lyrics to my FaceBook site.  If you like any of the tunes you hear (or even any of the lyrics I have posted) and would like to have a go at singing them then let me know.  I will make sure the music is complete and matches the lyrics, if it’s not already, and then look forward to the result.

If I like what I hear then I may actually invite the vocalist(s) to record a song with me properly.  If you are not interested in doing this, but still want to show off your singing skills then I won’t be offended, but will still be pleased that you partook in this opportunity.  If the final result sounds good then I will upload (or maybe release the song) as ‘The Lost Connection (ft, yourself)’

Thanks,

Colin (The Lost Connection)

This song I have not put on FaceBook yet, and I definitely haven’t shared it, as there are loads of innuendos (and I mean LOADS!).   If you don’t understand the real meaning behind this song then don’t worry, you won’t be the first.   If enough people like it I may share it with more of the world.

Verse 1

I was lying on my sack, feeling slack, something was lacking
I was feeling thin, the shape I’m in, something is missing
I need to get out, and about, and do something
‘Cos while I’m lying here, it’s clear, I’m good enough for nothing.

Chorus

I’ve gotta get out, I’ve gotta do something
Get my blood pumping and shake my stuff
I’ve gotta get out and get back into shape
I’ll straighten-up and lift my head
And rise to the occasion.

Verse 2

So out of the house I went, hell bent
For some fun
I decided in my mind it was time
To get things done
So I headed into town, looked around
For some action
I followed the sound, and I found, the main attraction.

And there stood before me, a beautiful sight to see.

Chorus

I’ve gotta get in, I’ve gotta do something                                                                                    Feel my blood pumping, gonna shake my stuff
I’ve gotta get in, get back into shape
I’ll straighten-up and lift my head
And rise for the occasion.

Verse 3

But everybody, in the street, only wandered by
The pubs were places, where they raced, to enjoy the night
But I liked what I saw, and the doors, drew me near
I lifted up my head, and I said, “Can I come in?”.

Chorus

I’m gonna get in, the fun will soon begin
My blood is pumping, gonna do my thing
I’m gonna go in, I feel I’m in shape
I’ve straightened-up and lifted my head
And risen for the occasion.

Verse 4

But when I went to enter, in the centre, they said, “No!”
The two fat, hairy, lippy bouncers, said I had to go
Always remember to bring a member, if you wanna enter in
If you haven’t got such, then you haven’t much, chance of succeeding.

Chorus

I’ve gotta get in, I’ve gotta do something
Gotta find a member for things to begin                                                                                      I’ve got get in, I was feeling in shape
But now I’m feeling down, can’t believe what was said
After rising for the occasion.

Verse 5

I wandered off, well pissed-off, with my head hung low
A member I had to find, although a bind, I had to go
So I went to a bar, not too far, down the hill
Got talking to a few about a view to a thrill:

I saId, “If I pay, what do you say – will I be let in?”

“Yeh! Sure, You’ll be cool, Johnny is a member.”
Verse 6

When Johnny and I arrived, no surprise, the doors opened at last!                                        But they us getting in, said one thing, before we passed:
“Now wait, get this straight, before you enter in:
“Remember John’,  you’ve gotta get on, before things begin.”

“See the sign, ‘No spillages allowed!’
The member, Johnny, will be liable for spillages within the hotel.
You may now enter.”

Hello to anyone interested in reading anything I write.

I have noticed a drop in views and listens to my songs.  I am not too worried about this as I am still building the website and improving the songs on SoundCloud where need be.  During the week I did remix a song or two incorrectly, but luckily that has been amended.  When mixing a song it is hard to get it to sound perfect on all players (eg. laptop, car, hi-fi, TV, etc.) especially especially when using Logic X (apple mac) as the sound balance changes significantly when it is saved (unlike when I used Mixcraft 5 on windows).  But I am slowly getting there, although there are still areas to perfect and vocals to add, as well as old new songs to record and brand new ones to create.

Anyway, that’s all for now and I hope what I am doing and continue to do, will be enjoyed by some (or even one is okay, lol!)

Colin

Over the last week, and I will continue to do so, I have typed out the whole lyrics to some of my songs.  They are accessible through my my www.facebook.com/thelostconnection, or through my, ‘Songs. Lyrics and Poems Titles…’   If you are interested in my songwriting as just an  interest or on a business level (seeking songs or a songwriter) please like my FaceBook page as it will make me feel that I am not just doing this for me, but hopefully for somebody else as well.

PS.

Love Music (Song 016): a song about love (sex) and music being enjoyed in unison.

Twist (Song 147): about people (a metaphorical library) and, in this instance, one person who was like a book with an unpredictable ending.

Never Too Late (Song 696):  a song that was based on a particular person, but ended up sounding as if I was writing about myself (?).

Just A Question (Before Things Get Heavy) (Song 008): a song about me and my music, which I used in a story (‘Reality In Dreamland’) along with 19 other songs and a poem.

In The Doghouse (Song 019);  a ficticious story, but not for some… possibly (?).

Love Me (Song 004):  Was originally called ‘**** Me!’  I’ll say no more, lol!

“I’m content in life, married with a wife, but my music got pushed aside. Bad things happened, I lost the fire, but underneath was still the desire. So now here’s my plan – reincarnate the lyrical man.”   

I just realised that during how my songwriting slowed down when I met the woman who became my wife:

2004 – I song     2005 – 3 songs     2006 – 0 songs     2007 – 0 songs     2008 – 0 songs

2009 – 5 songs    2010 – 6 songs       The lyrics 522 to 536 were the only ones written – Shocking!!!!

Perhaps I was engaged in other things…  oh yes, I was engaged from 2004 to 2008, lol!)
