Singer,musician,songwriter,animal activist,love older people,I believe in life after physical death – i believe that the point of power is in the present moment

Bonding is what Robyn is about, with the ears and spirit. One is drawn to his enthusiasm and positive messages. He is really inspiring in a time when we need it. These humble ears find his voice to have range and beauty. He’s refreshing in his collaborations, especially The Journey. Gary Pratt, Robyn Youlten, Chris Scheri are remarkable in their intent and execution. They went for something really big, they reached, and the effort left us with something remarkable to go back to.

The Lennon Tree Newcastle Upon Tyne, Britain (UK)

by

I spend much time at Soundcloud these days promoting music and participating. It has been rewarding. I listen to many new artists every day. I will be presenting my selections of good playlists as I find them. The artists need exposure and we can do what little we can to help an ailing and emerging new industry.

nuff said

The Lennon Tree combine the folk characteristics that should be successful, Good voices, crafted songs and a great name. I find them darn well worth listening to and a worthwhile find in a day when we are submerged in noisy culture. It’s good to relax and enjoy like we are in a special club and a new band is on stage.
We look acroos the room. The lights fade.

Those who are aware of Genet’s works & life & those writers who prevailed in getting his freedom from prison such as Cocteau & Sartre, will find this interview fascinating of one of France’s most extraordinary writers & poets. The subtitles are excellent in English but you might have to use the caption button to secure them.

    Nice and truthful ! A genuine piece of soulful folk music, with pretty lines of acoustic guitar and a most touching plainness. ***

    Here’s another sad song
    that’s all I have
    I’m just getting along
    doing the best that I can

    All I know is
    wishing you were here
    And all there is
    Is sitting here alone

    I was wrong
    and now I pay the price
    of lonely days
    and sleepless nights
    I was wrong
    and I’ve acted quite the fool
    It’s like I set out all along
    to just be mean to you

    They judge me so hard
    They say that I’m no good
    And I’m sorry doesn’t have
    the ring that it should
    and missing you
    is the price that I have to pay
    I’m so sad that it turned out this way.

    So here’s another sad song
    It’s the best I can do
    and I’m just getting along
    missing you
