A tribute to Mike Oldfield with a Guitar Instrumental rendition of the classic tune, Moonlight Shadow. Thanks for listening. Information gathered from Wikipedia; Released as a single on the 6th May 1983 by Virgin Records, and included on his eighth album, Crises, of the same year. It has been suggested that the lyrics of the song are a reference to the murder of John Lennon, despite the fact that the events in the song do not correspond with those of Lennon's murder. When asked whether "Moonlight Shadow" is a reference to John Lennon's murder in a 1995 interview. Oldfield responded.. "Not really... well, perhaps, when I look back on it, maybe it was. I actually arrived in New York that awful evening when he was shot and I was staying at the Virgin Records house in Perry Street, which was just a few blocks down the road from the Dakota Building where it happened, so it probably sank into my subconscious. It was originally inspired by a film I loved – Houdini, starring Tony Curtis, which was about attempts to contact Houdini after he'd died, through spiritualism... it was originally a song influenced by that, but a lot of other things must have crept in there without me realising it". — Mike Oldfield Lyrics; [Verse 1] The last that ever she saw him Carried away by a moonlight shadow He passed on, worried and warning Carried away by a moonlight shadow Lost in a riddle that Saturday night Far away on the other side He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight And she couldn't find how to push through [Verse 2] The trees that whisper in the evening Carried away by a moonlight shadow Sing a song of sorrow and grieving Carried away by a moonlight shadow All she saw was a silhouette of a gun Far away on the other side He was shot six times by a man on the run And she couldn't find how to push through [Chorus] I stay, I pray See you in Heaven, far away I stay, I pray See you in Heaven one day [Verse 3] Four A.M. in the morning Carried away by a moonlight shadow I watched your vision forming Carried away by a moonlight shadow Stars move slowly in the silvery night Far away on the other side Will you come to talk to me this night? But she couldn't find how to push through [Chorus] I stay, I pray See you in Heaven, far away I stay, I pray See you in Heaven one day [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Far away on the other side Caught in the middle of a hundred and five The night was heavy and the air was alive But she couldn't find how to push through Carried away by a moonlight shadow Carried away by a moonlight shadow Far away on the other side But she couldn't find how to push through.

Our Father - produced by Mike Oldfield from the album Light & Shade. Another homage to the legend, keeping his music alive with a guitar cover of this great piece of music. Words from the man himself : "I worked on it around the time Pope John Paul II died, 2005, and what a fascinating and wonderful life he had; when he died, it didn't feel like he was gone, and it all just seeped into my consciousness, and ended up with this title. For me, it encapsulates the whole man's lifetime, and his death" Thanks for listening. No copyright infringement intended.

A cover of the classic rock ballad Lucky Man by, Emerson Lake & Palmer. I'm dedicating this cover to, Daniel Hoffay a.k.a https://soundcloud.com/kogwonton here on Soundcloud where you'll find many more of his great covers. Daniel sent me his guitar recordings for this track just before he sadly passed away 19/05/2022. R.I.P Dan, this collaboration is for you. The origin of the song, as stated by Greg Lake in interviews is that it was the first song he wrote when his mother bought him a guitar when he was just 12 years old. With the first chords he learned (D, A minor, E minor, and G), he wrote an acoustic version of the song. In early 1968, Lake would later rehearse the song with King Crimson. The song came to be used on Emerson, Lake & Palmer's debut album when they needed one more song. Lake played the version he had written from childhood, but the rest of the band did not like it, feeling it would not fit with the other album tracks. Lake, then worked on it in the studio with, Carl Palmer. Lake, added numerous overdubs of bass, triple-tracked acoustic guitars, electric guitar, and harmony vocals until it "sounded like a record." This version of the song — with a second electric guitar solo in place of where, Emerson, would later overdub his Moog solo is featured on the album's deluxe edition. Unlike several songs on the album, which use a distorted fuzz bass to sound like a guitar, "Lucky Man" is an acoustic ballad. The lyrics tell the story of a man who had everything, went to war, and died. Thanks for listening.

Lyrics He had white horses And ladies by the score All dressed in satin And waiting by the door Ooh, what a lucky man he was Ooh, what a lucky man he was White lace and feathers They made up his bed A gold covered mattress On which he was laid Ooh, what a lucky man he was Ooh, what a lucky man he was He went to fight wars For his country and his king Of his honor and his glory The people would sing Ooh, what a lucky man he was Ooh, what a lucky man he was A bullet had found him His blood ran as he cried No money could save him So he laid down and he died Ooh, what a lucky man he was Ooh, what a lucky man he was Songwriters: Gregory Lake, © 1968 Lucky Man lyrics © BMG Rights Management, Music Sales Corporation

Experimental sessions with the Mellotron 4000 virtual-synth. Always loved the sound of this 60's-70's haunting synth so i've put together an arrangement and composed several transitioned verses in a progressive rock-guitar style around this iconic synth. The sound produced from this virtual-synth are actually sampled from the genuine unit, and i've picked four of it's many presets in this piece. With a few twists and turns it's a bit of a mixed genre, i started off with a kind of Morricone/Leone idea of a wild west spaghetti-western vibe, then a friend and musician Dave Svensson (thx D :) suggested i expand on it, thus creating a blend of Spanish, Folk, Classical & Rock guitars with a dash of Blues, fused together with this classic synth.

A guitar cover/improvisation and collaboration by David Svensson and Mike Hilton, and a dedication to the life of Dr Oldfield, whom sadly passed away recently. Father to Sally, Mike, and Terry Oldfield. We dedicate this version of "Let There Be Light", one of Mike Oldfield's brilliant pieces of music to the Oldfield family, we are also greatly inspired by these gifted and very talented musicians. David, asked me to perform some guitar on his version, and is one of his favourite pieces by, Mr Oldfield, and I gladly accepted. This is also one of my first at an improvised cover, and a great choice by, David, indeed. And I must say it was an absolute pleasure working on his superb arrangement.. a very talented player devoted to music, and sincere friend. More of, Dave's, great music here.. https://soundcloud.com/davidjsvensson (no copyright infringement intended) Many thanks for listening.
