The following tracks are a selection of the fantastic independent musicians that use AtomCollectorRecords.com:

Aeroplane by Flicker

Aeroplane by Flicker.
Album: At Least 1000 Words (2002).

Music by G. Davies/D. Danielli/P. Jones/L. Welsman.

Performers:
George: guitars
Dave: Plank, drums, synth, keys, samples
Lucy: cello

Fun Facts:
Aeroplane is a tune composed in a non-standard guitar tuning.
It uses DADFCE and was the first tune George wrote upon moving to Prague.
Phil the Fiddle played some lovely soaring thermals in it during their frequent performances on the Charles Bridge.
When it was time to record the piece, no fiddle player was available, so Lucy did much of the same kind of thing on her 150-year-old blonde cello, which shook the whole room.

LYRICS

Oh, my Lucy, I’ve searched the world for the rarest of pearls.
Lucy, oh Lucy, I won’t ever find a more precious girl.

When I think of the time we met, as the stars had conspired above,
I remember you instantly lit up my heart and I opened to your love.
When I remember all the things that you’ve done, I tell you,
Lucy, my Lucy, baby, baby, baby.

When you’re walking to me,
When you’re talking to me,
Everything about you does make me so proud.

Oh, my Lucy, you are the best I’ve ever had, girl.
Lucy, oh Lucy, you make me smile even when I’m sad.

Blind by Mysterioso

LYRICS

When I look into this crazy world
Seems everybody's looking out for themselves
Put your love on the shelf
You can't see need when in love with yourself
One word, one world, one thought
Is all you really need
U.N.I.T.E., U.N.I.T.E.

I bleed and my pleas
The way of the world got me on my knees
It seems to me
We've all forgotten one simple theme it’s
One word, one world, one thought
Is all you really need
U.N.I.T.E., U.N.I.T.E.

It's time for everyone to light the lights.
Take a look into your brother’s eyes and do what's right.
Come on and put your hands together.
Come on and put your hands together.

So, united we stand,
United we fall,
United has no colour,
United has no wall,
United’s in your kitchen,
United’s in your hall,
United’s in your heart,
United's in us all.

But when will it ever happen?
I don’t know when this time will come.
But when will this ever happen?
I don’t know when this time will come.

So, I am here alone
And sitting on my own.
I can’t believe that no one cares
And no one’s even there.

Let’s get united, let’s all unite!
No need to light it, no need to fight!
Let’s get united, let’s all unite!
No need to hide it, let's make it right!
