From a different time and place, the creation
begins all over again |
|
John brings you a different
tone and style to his music
in this new single along
with a special included
track. We hope you will
enjoy these new released
compositions.
"I had the opportunity to
play on a grand piano for
the first time ever in a
small empty concert hall. I
sat down and "Final Day" was
written there and then,
recorded on the spot to my iPhone. Again, a moment not
to be lost. I hope you will
enjoy this un-rehearsed
piece in its original pure
format. A few days later I
found myself in a music
store and sat at an
electronic keyboard and
re-wrote "Final Day" with a
twist and "End of Day" was
born. The canvas textures
can be many for me but the
brush, only one, and the
beauty of music is that a
composition is never really
final until I stop playing
it. It can be endlessly
modified to create new and
beautiful compositions all
the time. So the brush has
been put away on these two
compositions with no mixing
or mastering, just as is, and I hope you
enjoy hearing them in their
pure format as I did
creating them". -John- |

Change can bring about magical and wonderful
moments |
|
For this single, John
stepped off from his usual
keyboard that he records on
and onto another that he has
never played on before and
it was a refreshing change
of tone for him. It has
paved the way ahead for his
continuing musical journey.
He is pleased to bring us
this beautiful musical piece
and we hope you will enjoy
this latest single from
John. "With certain musical
compositions for me, I love
to hear them in a totally
new way. Different tones,
different tempos, constantly
changing and modifying in my
own special way. It happens
in the blink of an eye for
me sometimes and those are
the best moments. I recorded
this tune on my first
attempt at modifying a
previous tune and the result
was wonderful. So what you
are hearing is what I too
heard for the very first
time. My music is constantly
evolving for me and with
each composition that is
added I wonder if the
journey's end is near, a
journey I hope will never
end." -John- |

Finding that balance can be difficult, but
when found, so rewarding |
|
The musical highway never
seems to end for John and he
is pleased to bring
us another wonderful
keyboard composition. A
break from the guitar
compositions that he is
currently working on. For
John, it's a rest stop for a
moment on the path to
collect ones thoughts. We hope you will
enjoy this beautiful single.
"Life's little twists and
turns on our daily journey
pulls us in all directions
sometimes. We try to search
out for those moments in our
day that will make us feel
at peace and connected. Not
an easy task these days. But
once accomplished you will
have found that wonderful
sense of balance in your
day. I hope you will find it
as I have in my music" -John- |

In an instant it can be gone forever,
don't let that moment go |
|
The path keeps winding for
John on his musical journey
and he is pleased to bring
us another beautiful musical
piece. We hope you will
enjoy this latest single
from John. "When something
we cherish so much is gone
and we no longer hear the
sound, the steps, the
voice... we long for one
more chance to hear even a
whisper, just one last time.
Our hearts cry out for what
will never be heard again.
We know deep down it can
never happen, and we hold on
to what keeps us strong. For
now I will let the music
speak to me and it will
always keep the conversation
going". -John-
On this
CD single there is a special added track which was recorded on
the same night as the
single. It was an improv
moment where the "speak to me"
track was played back over
the headsets and I played
along with it for the very
first time. Moments like
that come in the blink of an
eye, and its best not to
blink as it could be gone in
an instant, and so it was
recorded. Many thanks to Tom
at Cave1 for capturing the
moment on track. It could
well be for me "the answer"
to speak to me. I hope you
will enjoy it as I did at
that moment. -John- |

Your heart drives you, your eyes guide you and
the path
taken reminds you where you've
been |
|
The journey continues for
John, and he has brought us
another link in that path
well known to him. His
signature style reveals
itself more and more with
every step taken on this
journey and we are pleased
to announce this latest
release from his musical
compositions.
"We seek out our rights, and
we search out equality, we
fight for freedom and make a
stand in the name of love,
but we fight most for the
right to live this one life
given to us. The fire burns
inside us to succeed in
whatever we do. Some stand
back from the flame that
burns and others make a
stand and hold dear what
binds them to that flame.
Hold on to what you believe
in, hold tight to that light
that burns within you and in
doing so, you will never let
go."
-John-
This single is dedicated to the memory of my father Patrick,
who's dream was to live out
his retirement in the
village where he grew up in
Ireland. He held on to that
dream and lived out the rest
of his days in peace with
his dream in the palm of his
hand. -John- |

There is no limit to what you can do,
as long as you follow your heart |
|
John has again completed
another single as part of a
journey with his musical
compositions. One of
his very own favorites,
"Struggle Within"
encompasses John's guitar
style in so many ways as he
becomes one with the
composition and guitar,
effortlessly winding his way
through each chord
structure. This
composition began as a
simple chord melody and John
worked it into the
composition it has become,
by adding, defining &
redefining the chord
structures that have become
his signature style today.
"We strive every day to
manage our lives as best we
can, to guide not only
ourselves but others around
us in a path that will lead
us to life’s accomplishments
and our own inner peace.
That inner peace is often
broken far too easily, a
peace we all strive for in
our lives, a peace some will
never see or reach.
The day to day struggle is
always a challenge, but the
Struggle Within is always
the hardest. I hope
you will follow on this
journey with me and hope you
always enjoy the path
taken." -John- |

For every storm you will find a rainbow
& for every tear a smile |
|
John's latest single is a
continuation of what he has
begun with his guitar
compositions &
continues with his very defining style.
This composition in itself,
is complete with no
background instrumental
works or rhythms to obscure
its purity. We trust
you will
enjoy this composition, the
second in a journey you are
invited to follow. "We
live in a world of turmoil
and we live in an age of
uncertainty. Every day
someone sheds a tear for
this world, yet they are
unseen and unheard. It can
only begin with one, and one
will make a stand. The clock
is ticking, we will forever
pay the price and forever
shed eternal tears."

A truly unique & defining style, created
from the heart and written with love |
|
This single is the
first of many guitar tracks
which will be recorded by
John. This work shows a very
defining style that John
has created when playing the
guitar. No background
instrumental works or
rhythms were added to this
piece as John wanted to let
the composition be itself.
Created from the heart and
written with love John
brings you this latest
single. We hope you will
enjoy this composition, the
first of many more to come
in a journey for john.
This piece was originally
created for John's mother
and is now dedicated in
honor of her memory. "I have
finished what i began
writing for you. I am sorry
you never got to hear it,
but I know you will forever
hear it now. I wrote it for
you and it will always be
yours. You are forever in my
heart, you will never be
forgotten and you will
always be with me"

Two worlds apart, locked in one heart,
never to be forgotten |
|
This single from John, is a
reflection of a time past
and a world far away. The
composition is a step back
into a life that was very
different and its melodic
flow will help you
understand that no matter
how far away that world can
be, it will always be close
to your heart. "I hope you
enjoy this single as much as
I have enjoyed making it,
and may it take you back to
a place that is close to
your own heart." -John- |

The emotions captured in this composition are
truly
amazing.
This is definitely a must
listen to single |
|
Out
of the many compositions
that John has written to
date, he took time to get
this one just right and it
really shows. As he puts it
himself “it is truly an
emotional piece for me”. The
composition actually
comprises of two different
and very unique compositions
in their own right. John has
combined them seamlessly to
produce this magical and
unique melody. As always,
his amazing skill for both
composition of songs and
mastery of the keyboard is
just what we've come to
expect from him. "Enjoy A
Moment In Time and may you
take that moment to cherish
the wonderful world around
you." -John- |
