Well... I thought the music biz and I had kissed goodbye to each other some years ago, then Madonna had the good taste to record Ray of Light, (or "Sepheryn", we called it), from a Curtiss Maldoon album of the 70's (I was Curtiss), and my world changed in an instant.. as fings does. That was about 12 years ago, and since then I've made indolence into an art form, until quite recently, when it was suggested that if I was going to continue to write, then I may as well put them "out there", so to speak, as play them to myself in my front room.
So.. these are a few of the results. I wont bore you (or more importantly, myself), with a potted history of my musical career... it's no longer interesting, but I hope that you will at least give my new stuff a listen, particularly the new version of Sepheryn, which I think gets some way toward capturing the spiritual nature of Clives original inspiration. Clive (Maldoon), is no longer with us, which is a tragedy, but I know he's looking on. God bless you Clive.
It would be great, dear reader, if you could leave feedback on my songs, bearing in mind what your Mother used to say, "if you cant say anything nice, better not to say anything at all". I leave it with you and your conscience, considering that my entire emotional well-being, not to say future career, is in your hands. No pressure.
Light and Love, David Atkins
