Love this - I'm sat at the back of an empty concert hall, wondering why the bottle is empty and why my head is spinning, and which way the night bus is... but it's ok cos there's a bloke on the stage playing the noises in my head.
Johnny pushed and shoved and heaved; it was no small accomplishment to have finally manoeuvered 'Joanna' to the edge of the sink-hole (known by local indigenous people as "Cyclops" and rumoured to be several hundred metres deep) - it was, indeed, a grand effort.
"Goodbye, Baby" Johnny whispered as one last push sent Joanna a-tumbling. And as she tumbled and bounced off the sides of old Cyclops, Johnny heard not a single tone - not an alone-tone, but several tones; several tones that slowly developed into a melody. Joanna, it seemed, would have the last laugh; 'don't forget me' she appeared to cry as the darkness enveloped her; as she dropped like a stone...
Hi Johnny,
I've been taken by this song. I hope you don't mind, I wrote some lyrics to go with it.
Adeline you’re the reason why
I greet the sun in the morning sky
You’re the reason that I’d walk a mile
Just to see your perfect smile
It’s just a feeling that I get from you
It’s everything that we’ve been through
I’m the most happy when I’m here with you
I only hope that you can feel it too
We’ll watch the stars together you and I
And when you say you love me I’ll reply
I can’t imagine what my life would be
If you weren’t here with me
Reaching out I hope you take my hand
We’ll make each day together something grand
Because I want to spend my life with you
Until our days are through
Adeline you’re the reason why
I greet the sun in the morning sky
Inspired by Tess' little Morwenna and my (getting bigger) Jessica. Writing back and forth with Bethan, I came to realize that a song needed to be written about the significance of the statements that so often come from the mouths of babes…
I cant seem to play this unless I do it live....
That is something new to me...
Used to be the other way around....
This is called "Do or die"...
Do or Die
(words and music by Tharek Mokbul)
Do or die, that’s what Everyone here is…
A few of you know I accidentally wiped out one of my SD cards that had all my works in progress on it. I'm just starting to piece it all together again - A slow process. This was supposed to be a reprise to "In My Head", but ended up being in…
I'm going through something of a dark time at the moment and it's a rare evening I actually have something tangible to show for it. Mostly it's frustration, depression, and a blanket of grey despair. Tonight was different and I can only hope that…
Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…
Cant sleep....
Thought I'd write a Tune....
Had to be fairly Quiet on this, so as not to wake the Baby...
Hope you Like it.
Lyrics
“It Allâ€
By Tharek Mokbul 2010
I can’t find the,
Place where I kept,
My Love…
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
This is my first effort with real bongos. I've been so inspired by Norm's talents, that I had to give it a try. I borrowed a set of bongos from my brother Asa.

I had to play 18 holes of golf to get my hands…
Some more good fun with Brian Bazeley and Jarvis.
I added some drums and some horns to Jarvo's noodling.
There's probably room for vocals if anyone is feeling froggy.
Thanks Brian and Jarvis
A song about Rising to new challenges...
Even though you Might not want to really....
Geir Alfsen on Vocals Lyrics and Guitar..
Me on the rest...
Hope you Like it...

Another short piece I threw together when I had access to a keyboard. If I ever have any extra money, I need to get a keyboard. Though I'm technically inclined, sometimes…
Really nothing more than some voice leading practice. Unfortunately, I had no keyboard or orchestral samples when I did this, so I used Lilypond and TiMidity++ and step programmed it in a text editor. I've since bought Cubase and EastWest/QuantumLeap…

You got the magic Johnny!

tinkle them keys.... sounds great!
Have always loved this tune - great version!
Good Stuff! A twist on a classic!
Lovely stuff there!
..agree with Greg - also made me think of a possible James Bond theme song..
I suppose you meant 'Fifth'. A cross between Beethoven's celebrated disco period and "Knightrider".
Pretty
