For funk, hip hop, alternative, soft rock and jazz, margot du bois, rapster and numerous collab partners, the main ones being Tom King and The Ratman...
Ive been an online singer since 1999/2000. I first encountered online collaboration via Steinbergs "Rocketnetwork" which came free with Cubase back in those days.. I was totally awestruck by the fact that I could make music with people worldwide who Id never met personally before. Since those days Ive written and sung countless, completed songs and always have many others in various stages of completion. As you can see by the list I have dozens of collab partners, some of whom have become very close and dear friends in real life. Infact the first persons song I ever sang on was by Steve Pearce, who is now sadly deceased. He became one of my dearest friends and through him I met and became very close friends with the late Clint Warwick, who was the original bass player with the Moody Blues and Danny King who was one of the founder members of that band. Some of the people that I made music with in the past on and off line:- ..My dear friend, the late Clint Warwick, also Danny King and... steve pearce... sheck... lennie... bigmoon... bop... timmymacdd... jack miller... mixmaster mark... tfolie... jako2k... zauberflute... music1961...

(Those people were all members of the now defunct "Rocketnetwork", "The Rocketears"...... More recent people are,:- Teecee... ZIGGma... Steve Dinsmoor... Dirt Settlers... D Form... Lil Drizzy... Syngularity... Uncle fester... Violent... Tom KIng... Ratman... Yerrickl... Loren Risker... CBS Productions... Pete Consodine... Dace... Blue Tom... JDK... Sisters... Mick Wilson... Shedman...

Aimlessjazz... vvsdesign/Volker...TNuT...Frank Northcutt...Uberthrall... last, but always first... My wonderful partner in love, life AND music, JOEY/Joe Nickerson/RAPSTER/Nicky Quick... Because the list is long its possible I may have forgotten to mention someone here, so if I have please give me a nod and Ill fix that.. Im so very thankful to everyone whos made their music freely available to me, to the many whove written and created pieces especially for me and to those whove helped me along the way, believe me there have been so many...Thankyou to all of them.. I NEVER try to sound like anyone else when I sing, always prefering what comes naturally to me. I rarely if ever sing other peoples lyrics as I can only feel what I personally feel, thats not to say I dont appreciate what other songwriters write, I love reading their lyrics and listening to their songs, those are their feelings..:-) My lyrics are generally minimal. I dont feel I need to write a book when I can say it in a sentence..:-) Im very happy to be uniquely and uncontrollably me..:-)

Lyrics
This Far I never thought, as I was taking my time... That I`d get this far down the line... This far... This far Down the line... I`m waking up from a dream... I`m waking up from a dream... I`m waking up from a dream... Behind me... It`s where I`ve been... Oh life is a merry-go-round... First we`re up... An then we`re down... All the swings and roundabouts... The Beatles... N twist n shout... Twist n shout... Elenor Rigby, picked up the rice... Not very nice... How did I come this far?... How did I come this far?... I must`ve had a guiding star... How did I come this far?... Let me off of this merry-go-round... Let me off of this merry-go-round... Let me off of this merry-go-round... I need my feet back on the ground... How did I come this far?... Copyright margot du bois

Really like this one Margot! Great 60's/70's feel to it. With a real drum track on it I'd call it perfect. Great guitar and keys! Sweet melody and vocals!
Really wonderful track. This has such a great feel to it. Emotion perfectly conveyed in music, that gave me more than a few tingles up my spine.
