ABOUT

I'n a songwriter and keyboard player. My main interest is writing songs and require people to help these songs develop. I hope to form a writing and recording collaboration that creates songs suitable for other artists but, if all goes well, possibly release the songs as our own. At the end of 2019, and the beginning of 2020, I released many of my songs on 4 albums.

MUSIC

Animal In A Cage (Song 567)

Animal In A Cage (Song 567) Year: 2011 Album: Single Genre: Alternative
My lyrics, my composition, my vocals and just my keyboard.
The Lost Waltz
The Lost WaltzA wild little tune which I was quite proud to create when I was about 22 years old. I've spruced it up a bit 29 years later.
Be There For You (Song 799) Music Only
Be There For You (Song 799) Music OnlyWritten for someone else but, as they didn't want it, I eventually used the music for my 799th song.
Cloud 9 (Song 777) Music Only
Cloud 9 (Song 777) Music OnlyTHIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE TUNES. WOULD BE GOOD FOR THIS TUNE TO FIND A HOME AS A THEME TUNE TO SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE. PLEASE ‘LIKE’ IF YOU DO LIKE IT. THANKS. Originally called ‘SoundCloud’ but changed into a song instead of an instrumental. As I was unable to sing it very well I thought I'd upload it as just an instrumental aswell.
The Psychotic Gothic
The Psychotic GothicA tune I recorded one afternoon in 2016 possibly, which I only just discovered in my iTunes collection.

I Love You More Than... (Song 010) 2019 Music Only
I Love You More Than... (Song 010) 2019 Music OnlyAn old song which I have re-recorded. The lyrics have more commercial potential and therefore that's why I have decided to work on this one next. Singing to be added in the near future hopefully.
The Lost & Found Innovator
The Lost & Found InnovatorA tune for which I have written 2 sets of lyrics. It is a little monotonous without vocals as most 'music only' ones are! Original lyrics were The 'Lost & Found' and tune had more musical parts. I wrote 'Innovator' to this piece of music too (but never used). This is just verse, bridge and chorus chords. The musical fill-in has not been included.
Daughter (Song 605) Music only

If You're Not Happy (Song 669) Music OnlyThe chord sequence was written by Tim Kerley and the lyrics, which had been written already, were selected for use with this chord sequence. Once paired I created this track, just waiting for guitar and the vocals to be added (one day!!!).

Drought (Song 026) Music Only
Drought (Song 026) Music OnlyDROUGHT V1. I feel so alone I’ve got nobody, I’m on own As I lie here crying, It feels like I’m dying It feels like I’m sinking in the Sand… CH. Do you understand how I feel It feels so unreal Without anybody Without the one I love Heaven’s above… Rain on me. V2. I feel incomplete Too unstable for my feet As I lie on the ground It feels like I’ve drowned It feels as though I’m drowning in the Air… CH. Do you understand how I feel It feels so unreal Without anybody Without the one I love Heaven’s above… Rain on me. V3. My wish when I die Is I’ll rise to the sky To the heavenly pools ascend To unite once again But for now my love lies on the Wind… CH. Do you understand how I feel It feels so unreal Without anybody Without the one I love Heaven’s above… Rain on me. © 1991 – Colin E. Pyle

One Tu’ (Music to 'Feeling Sound')
One Tu’ (Music to 'Feeling Sound')My favourite tune which was written over 15 years ago. The guitar solo, at the end, was recorded while Tim was jamming along to this tune. Recorded back in the early 2000’s when writing and recording was always a great pleasure. This tune inspired the lyrics 'Feeling Sound’. The early stages of this tune were recorded back in 1995 by 'The Sand Bar Donkeys' and called ‘Feeling Sand’, but didn't contain the 3rd part of this tune.
