Martin Valins - A Page in His Life
A Page In His Life. Written and Performed By Martin Valins.
I was in two minds as whether to post anything today following the tragic events in Nice on Thursday. But then I heard someone say that we should not let minds that hate dictate what we do in the name of love. Plus the song on Fanda by Richard Trudeau Joyce Walsh and friends, Lennon’s Across The Universe “Nothing’s going to change my world”. So with a heavy heart we move forward.
“A Page In His Life” is another song from my album Arcadia. The album is built around the search for the Greek legend of a mythical and unspoiled wilderness called Arcadia, where there is harmony and peace in abundance……
Our traveler is now nearing what he hopes will be his Arcadia. But before going forward he must confront his past. If the stages and changes in our lives are like chapters in a book - so at each point we turn a page for a new beginning.
This was an actual page in my life……….
The video was a dream I had of a Fanda concert or a Fanstock.
I hope you enjoy ……..Peace love and understanding to all.

How long have you been playing?
I have been singing since I was two years old. Music has been a part of me always. I am not sure I can call myself a musician but rather a songwriter and recording artist.
What was the first concert you ever went to?
Well it was The Beatles in 1963! What a start! My Dad somehow managed to get tickets. It was in Finsbury Park London. I can still clearly remember seeing them in their crew neck suits. Amazing.
What gear do you use?
I have a semi acoustic Ibanez that I love to play plus a Les Paul and a Brice bass . I also try to play keyboards but I am essentially a guitarist.
What are you looking for from Fandalism?
Connections with other songwriters and musicians that I can share my music with and learn from.
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
It has to be the Beatles. They were so revolutionary- Its hard for younger musicians to see that but in the context of the 1960's we were listening to music that sounded so different from anything that had gone before. Just listen to Tomorrow Never Knows.
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
Since joining Fandalism I have made so many friends that I now collaborate with fellow musicians around the world. So you could say that I am in a virtual band that is everywhere with everyone. My first band was called Loopy's Lot at school - then in the 1970s I was in a number of bands with Martin Lukeover and Richard Knowles. Richard was Johnny Rotten 5 years before Punk ! At the Poly I recorded with Andy Borzy a great bass guitarist and we got to play our songs to a record executive at Transatlantic Records - but they passed.
If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
Oh I am not worthy to jam with my favorite musicians. But I would love just to sit in on a gig with too many people to mention here.
What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
We had a packed hall of I think about 300 when I was in the band with Richard Knowles the band was called Synthesis Fusion The smallest and most precious audience was just one - when I played some songs to this beautiful woman back in 1994 - who is now my wife.
You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
Oh my Despite loving each Beatle record It may have to be Court and Spark by Joni Mitchell because its so perfect. I first heard it I think in 1974 - not sure It has so much depth in both music and lyrics.
Lori Oz and I are excited to announce that we will be releasing a new song which we co-wrote called “Sugar Baby” on Saturday October 7th. Here is a clip from the video which we recently made in New York City. We will post the full video and song on Fandalism You Tube ReverbNation and Facebook, on that day, so be sure to look for our posts on that day !! See you then

Fantasia based on a Theme By Alice Coltrane
My god-daughter Betsy came to stay for an all too short week in February and among the many fun times we had, we spent some time in my studio.
Largely improvising we laid down three tracks – two of which were worth completing and releasing.
This piece is a Fantasia based on a Theme By Alice Coltrane.

Salisbury are excited to present to you their third music video “I Told Her Once” The song was originally written and performed by Martin Lukeover and Martin Valins and then Richard Knowles back in London UK in the 1970’s. With Salisbury reforming in 2017 it was a natural decision to revisit this old favorite with added lyrics and verses by Richard and arrangements by bassist Andrew Barton. On this 2018 video Salisbury are joined on stage, with grateful thanks, by Monica Bergo. So let the party begin ……………………Here is - I told Her Once - By Salisbury

With love from Salisbury Naked and Free - (Knowles/Valins)Soul searching for an answer, for a love that’s clearly over He treats you oh so badly, yet you seem to love him madly How could I have turned you, to the man that you have turned to? Though my heart may still be burning, for now I’m finally learningThat no one control what’s deep inside of meAnd the thing that I want most in life is to be naked and free, Our love is really over, your coldness made me sober Memories of love and hate, still make me sit and contemplate But life only gives you one shot, so make the most of what you’ve got Though my heart may still be burning, for now I’m finally learningThat no one control what’s deep inside of me And the thing that I want most in life is to be naked and free, That no one control what’s deep inside of me And the thing that I want most in life is to be naked and free, I’m waiting for the waiting, for my time is getting older and the distance getting smaller, for the love you can’t get over I’m the man who screwed you sober, and the wheels that keep on turningfor my heart that still is burning, for now I’m finally learningThat no one control what’s deep inside of meAnd the thing that I want most in life is to be naked and free,

Sugar Baby Lori Oz & Martin Valins The song Sugar Baby started life just as a sketch of an idea I had - but once I shared it with Lori she transformed it into a dramatic piece in the best tradition of a classic torch song. It has been a real privilege to witness at first hand the creative process of this incredible artist. This is our first collaboration and we are looking forward to working together on future projects.

Martin Valins In Concert - The Songs Of Andy Staines - Live.
Andy Staines in the 1970s had long hair a beard and was a very happy hippie. He had a voice like honey and a beautiful smile.
I met Andy at Loughton College in Essex UK. The same college that Mark Knopfler taught at before turning pro in Dire Straits. I just loved the music Andy played and after I showed him some of my songs, we became good friends.
Andy and I wrote songs just two two acoustic guitars and an old Philips reel to reel tape recorder to capture the moment. We did a lot of live concerts. If you were at University in London during the early 1970’s chances are you saw Andy and I play at the college gigs.
I lost contact with Andy - but these songs are too precious not to share with my friends and fans around the world.
You can also hear the original Demos we made at my Bandcamp page http://martinvalins1.bandcamp.com/album/demos-ep-1971-2-andy-staines-martin-valins
This is my tribute to those past days and to Andy’ songs.

Sometimes its OK to go to a dark place for no reason why.
She is coming near
You will no longer fear
For the one who holds out the light
Just look into her eyes
Thank you to dear Monica was what I consider an incredible performance both theatrically and musically !!
On a lonely street
Distant souls will meet
Looking across the night
For no reason why
If you find me there
If you really care
For the one who holds out the light
Just look into her eyes
The winds begin to howl
Darkness is all around
As you walk into the shrine
For no reason why
You are all alone
You have left your home
For the one who holds out the light
Just look into her eyes
There dancing all around
The one is coming down
As you calling out to cry
For no reason why
She is coming near
You will no longer fear
For the one who holds out the light
Just look into her eyes

Lets Find The Love Monica Bergo Martin Valins. Monica and I are very happy to present another song we have collaborated on. The theme of the song is to find the love that appeared to be all around us in the summer of 1967 - As more than ever today we need more love for everyone. Thank you Monica Bergo for singing with me on the song and the video and for the 60”s costume. As always it was fun to make and we hope you will like our song Lets Find The Love. This will be the first single from a new album I am working on called Rosecroft Avenue.
Lets Find The Love By Monica Bergo Martin Valins.
I’m crying
Crying out in pain
I’m hurting
its happening again
Look for a reason
When theres no reason why
Look for the rain clouds
With not a cloud in the sky
Why can’t we get along together
Why can’t we see, each others side…
We’re running out of time my brothers
To find the love
Thats here and deep inside
Who can we turn to
Who do we believe
Turn on the TV
Politicians deceive
Why can’t we get along together
Why can’t we see, each others side…
We’re running out of time my sisters
To find the love
Thats here and deep inside
No more tears
Look to the stars up above
No more fears
So let’s find the love

If I Thought - Martin Valins
I never really knew you
But I always knew you were there
And how would I ever miss you so darling
If I thought you didn’t care
…………….. you didn’t care
I never had my moment
To share my love with you
We were never alone but
Its time to start a new
Yes its time to talk it through
Living our lives
But not living for each day
We could lose all we have
Thats the price we could pay
We must have a moment
I want to be be near
We can never go on living
If I thought you didn’t care
…………….you didn’t care
Yes we must have our moment
When you and I could share
Just a lifetime together
Then I’ll know you really care
Will have a love to share
Then I’ll know you really care
Yes Ill know you really care…….

A Friend For Ever
I look at the stars up above
They will be here forever
I look at the sun keeps me warm
What is harder to keep a friend so true
That be will forever
All I know is deep in my heart
Your my friend forever
Whatever you keep in the dark
Whatever you show me
Whenever you need to hide
You can always tell me
But what is harder to keep a friend so true
That will be forever
All I know is deep in my heart
Your my friend forever
For those who have told you lies
For those who deceive you
You will no longer need to cry
What is harder to keep a friend so true
That will be forever
All I know is deep in my heart
Your my friend forever
To have a friend close by your side
Its not just for pleasure
Someone close to talk and confide
I will never intrude on your space
You are free to be whoever
I will honor you with grace
You are free to be whoever
What is harder to keep a friend so true
That will be forever
All I know is that deep in my heart
Your my friend for ever
So I give you my word here today
Your my friend your my treasure
Let me promise now let me say
Your my your friend forever

Of a time
When I held you so close
The time of my life
Love can stay the same
When you both carry the flame
Every year takes away our time
But I will ………………….stay by your side
Love can stay the same
When you both carry the flame
Every year takes away our time
But I will ……………..stay by your side
How many days
Will I still remember

There was a time
When I held you so close
The time of my life
Oh what a night

When I held you so close
The time of my life

When loves goes wrong - at the time it may seem your world had ended - Not true. It's just a beginning, always, to a brighter future and a better day.
You turn around and after the healing you can say "I'm Doing Fine With Out You"
I’m Doing Fine Without You - Martin Valins
How many Times did you think of me lately?
How many times since where’ll through?
And how many times did you want back so badly?
Well I’m doing fine with out you
The sun went down and was dark when you left here
What you said - nothing was true
Now the you’ve gone I changed my life completely
and I’m doing fine without you.
Our lives are on path
Then how did I get lost
For being who I am
The wires got crossed
When you came - you came around
You think you are pretty smart
By breaking my heart
Then how do you explain
These feelings of pain
But I turned I turned around
Thinking it over I must have been so sad
But how could you be so cruel
You may ask if that made me mad
Well Im doing fine without you
Time had come to ease away the pain
You left me alone for someone new
But when I look at where I stand today
I’m doing fine with out you
Our lives are on path
Then how did I get lost
For being who I am
The wires got crossed
When you came - you came around
You think you are pretty smart
By breaking my heart
Then how do you explain
These feelings of pain
But I turned I turned around
Now my days are passing so quickly
I wonder what is left to do
If you ever worried what happened to me maybe?
Well I did just fine without you
How many Times did you think of me lately?
How many times since where’ll through?
And how many times did you want back so badly?
Well Im doing fine with out you
Our lives are on path
Then how did I get lost
For being what I am
The wires got crossed
When you came - you came around
So look out on the street
To find a friendly face
Smile in their direction
Show them every grace
That you’ll come - you/ll come around
………..and If you you worried what happened to me lately
Well I’m doing fine without you………………

Song For Dream Martin Valins/Monica Bergo
I love the songs that you sing to me
I love the music that we play
Its not clear what they are meant to be
How could that be
But in my dreams I want this to stay
La notte la mia mente vola e va
E mondi nuovi creerà
La nostra musica trasformerà
in un sogno, questa mia realtà
I had a dream that you were with me
We played our music in the sun
It felt so good to be near you
Oh Yea Our journey had just begun….
un incantesimo profondo
che sfida questa eternità
se apro gli occhi ancora canto con te
e la magia si rinnoverà
Its been some time since Ive felt this way
Its been a while since I could say
You and I live in harmony
For eternity
And in my dreams I want this to stay
Di che sono fatti questi sogni miei
Dell’entusiasmo dentro noi
e questa musica ci avvolgerà, ci nutrirà
al sicuro ci custodirà
And I awoke and it is morning
Feeling cold I face the day
And you are gone and was never really here
But in my heart you want this to stay…….

Samantha and I are so excited about our second collaboration "Walk Away”. I had a basic chord structure that I then just threw to Sam. She turned this around with a vocal melody and lyrics that just blew me away. Her voice is as sweet as an angel yet listen to her lyrics and there is something much darker going on. Working with Samantha always pushes me higher I am so thankful to be her musical partner on this song. We are already talking about working on an EP together and I cannot wait.

A Song For Lukie By Martin Valins
Lukie’s been my friend for a long long time
We met when we were fiveand every day I think of him and how he changed my life
Hey Hey We have the love in our hearts
Hey Hey We were friends right from the startI guess you could say
We were just two kidsDidn’t know much and didn’t care
Coming Home from school playing in the yard Having so much fun to share Hey Hey We have the love in our heartsHey
Hey We were friends right from the start
Driving in our cars
Music playing loud
and thinking we looked so cool
Flirting with the girls and Making all the moves
They thought we were just two fools
We are still the same Across the years and milesI think of you every day
We are just as close and such good friends and in our heats this will will stay
Hey Hey We have the love in our hearts
Hey Hey We were friends right from the start
Looking back I celebrate my friend and those memories from the past I still smile at those crazy crazy times Yea that right we’ve had a blast
Hey Hey We have the love in our heartsHey HeyWe were friends right from the start

A Song For Everyone by Martin Valins
Happy New Year !!
To start the year………here is “A Song For Everyone”. A play where the song is a metaphor for harmony happiness and peace. The video represents us all. With our own hopes and dreams being linked by a song, here played by Monica Bergo, as she dances around the world through the streets and over mountains and seas to bring peace and harmony for a better life. The message being :
“Can we find a song for everyone?
Hold onto love that day will come
When we have a song for everyone
Love is the only answer
Love will help us cope
It’s all that really matters
To give us all hope”
Thank you to Monica Bergo for being our song.
A Song For Everyone by Martin Valins
There’s so much suffering
There so much pain
A world of darkness a world of shame
Can we find a song for everyone?
Hold onto love that day will come
When we have a song for everyone
Why do we fear?
Why do we hate?
In our souls we are all the same
Can we find a song for everyone?
Hold onto love that day will come
When we have a song for everyone
How can we stop the madness
How can we see the light
I cry for all the sadness
We have to make it right
Love is the only answer
Love will help us cope
Its all that really matters
To give us all hope.
Open the doors
Open the minds
Tell everybody we have to try
To find a song for everyone
Hold onto love that day will come
When we have a song for everyone
Lets end all the suffering
Lets end all the pain
Look for solutions
Without any blame
We will find a song for everyone
Lets have a song for everyone
Hold onto love that day will come
Lets have a song for everyone

Judgement Day Words and Music Martin Valins
Up on the mountain
Looking out on the sky
Seeing no reason
No reason to wonder why
Hey you in the corner
You with the heavy load
Take my hand now
Get on the right road
Yea I’ve been waiting
Waiting for judgement day
My clothes are dirty
and I have lost my way
I came to the Mountain
I came here with this book
It says if you believe
You don’t need a second look
Waiting Waiting for Judgement day
Waiting Waiting for Judgement day
Hey you with the money
You gonna have to share
No need to worry
cause your gonna have to care
The time is coming
The time is almost here
No use running
There is nothing left to fear
Waiting Waiting for Judgement day
Waiting Waiting for Judgement day
Its no use talking
If you don't have something to say
No use listening
If you want hear there’s another way
Oh I’ve been trying
Trying so hard to see
To understand the meaning
Of your philosophy
Waiting Waiting for Judgement day
Waiting Waiting for Judgement day
Oh I’ve been crying
Crying out in pain !
Won’t somebody help me !
To take way this stain
So I look above
Can I see or am I blind
Can I reach out
For that light to find
Tender in life my body lays
In from your heart
My soul will stay
Let light of your love show the way
Up on the mountain
Looking out on the sky
Seeing no reason
No reason to wonder why
Hey you in the corner
You with the heavy load
Take my hand now
Get on the right road

HOME AT LAST. Samantha Rose and I are so excited to finally release our first single “Home At Last”. When love goes wrong you find out it was not love after all. Then when true love arrives like the sun it brings light and warmth to our souls. It has been a pleasure to write and perform this song with Sam – I am very proud of what we have created together.

To celebrate the conclusion of my album Arcadia - we start at the end……..Journey was the last song on the album but it was the first song I had written for this piece which really evolved from this song - I am so grateful to Kathy Shortt for making this Journey so special…….
JOURNEY - WORDS AND MUSIC MARTIN VALINS
We are on a journey
Caught up on this journey
Where will it end
We cannot know.
Some will get there sooner
Some will get there later
All we can do right now
Is let flow
All we are hoping for
All we are reaching for
and all we are waiting for
is there is there
Looking out across the sky
Where are we heading - how do we try
The Oceans are rising the deserts on fire
In the dark of the night I will cry
We all are looking for love
So make this mine
Make this mine…………
And when I reach there
Will I find my love
If love is there - I will go
We are on a journey
Caught up on this journey
Where will it end
We cannot know.
All we are hoping for
All we are reaching for
and all we are waiting for
is there is there

Just Smile - Written and Performed By Martin Valins
I wrote this song last year [2015] and just made a basic demo ……..then as I began to compose the Album “Arcadia “ the words and music seemed to fit it’s concept of a collection of songs built around the search for Arcadia. The Greek legend of a mythical and unspoiled wilderness where there is harmony and peace in abundance……
Its a song about finding peace and happiness to such an extent - that the only thing left to do is Smile. I do hope you enjoy both the song and the video………..Please also check out my You Tube Channel for my other songs. You can also find more music to download or stream at by web page. martinvalinsmusic.
Peace and love to all
Martin.

The Love In Us All. I thought I had finished this song. But when I played it for Monica she came back with an incredible top vocal over the chorus that made the song 100 times better. Such is her talent and musical ear. I am so thankful she agreed to record her vocals over my original version and then to create such an exciting video that is so full of life! I am sure War will agree with me that making videos with Monica or Kathy takes so much pressure off of us guys as we know for certain that no one I mean no one will be watching us when Monica or Kathy are on the screen ! Anyway Monica and I hope you like our song “The Love In Us All” - Love and light - Martin x

Summer 71 Written and performed by Andy Staines. This is the original home recording of ‘Summer 71” I had to remove as much tape hiss as I could so pease excuse the poor quality of this recording however - what I hope you hear is a very delicate song sung quire beautifully by Andy Staines. I really do not know what happened to Andy after we left college - I hope wherever he is that he may one day hear this and know that his talent and skills as a musician and songwriter is still being appreciated many years on and far from where this home recording was made.

Addisyn’s Song. This is the last track from the Album ’”In From TheOutside” I have so enjoyed sharing this, my second album with my friends at Fandalism. The song is about and dedicated to my granddaughter. The spirit of the song is also dedicated to my darling God-daughter Betsy. I am sure you would say the same about your own children and grandchildren and God-children there is a very special love there. You only want good things love and happiness for them, and worry about the challenges they may face ahead.
“May you always find sunbeams and sweet dreams and love,
And divinely be guided with light from above”.
Peace & Love Martin x

And all we are hoping for
And all we are reaching for
And all we are waiting for
Is there ………………………………….
Just once in a while you come across a voice that is so full of feeling and soul that you just have to hear it. It almost demands that you stop whatever you are doing and just listen. Such is the voice of Kathy Shortt. Her solo and collaborative work on Fandalism You Tube and elsewhere is all of such high standard that I very nervously approached Kathy with a song that I thought would fit both of our vocal styles. Kathy has been such fun to work with……..It is my honor to share our first collaboration with our friends. Thank you Kathy for all you have done to make this Journey with me. Martin x

Profondità By Monica Bergo and Martin Valins
We are excited to share again our collaboration on the song Profondità
We are sharing this on the first anniversary of its original release. The translation of the Italian word “Profondità" into English is "depth”. The river of love and good friendship has great depth - and that is what this song is about…….finding that river is our quest ……..and it will take time because we are all on a journey…….
As well as being fun from start to finish, it was an honor and a real privilege to create this song to share with our friends.

The Perfect Prize - I have always loved the band “Squeeze” - their songs have that Beatle touch and are also essentially English - well more London. I wanted to write a song in that vein and The Perfect Prize is what emerged. About a guy who gets on a train to see if his love would be there to meet him at the station. Like a Squeeze song it has a narrative a beginning and an end. I do hope you like it. This song is from my Album “In From The Outside” - You can download it at iTunes or stream on Apple Music. Thank you for listening - Love Martin x

“Could it Be Love” . Words and Music by Martin Valins [Another song from the Album “In From The Outside”] I wrote this many years ago. This is a new Iive version [Voice and guitar]. A song about first love and it showed me how true love endures through time and never dies. That true love only knows good and is not possessive and cannot be defined. The more we love the more we will overcome all that needs to healed.
Words and Music by Martin Valins. This song is available now on iTunes, and for streaming at Apple Music, Spotify, Groove and Google Play]. Hope you enjoy the song ……….Martin x

Summer 71. I was art college in Loughton Essex in the early 1970’s and began playing and performing at folk clubs with Andy Staines. He was a beautiful guy, long hair very laid back. He wrote some amazing songs and was an accomplished guitarist and singer with a voice like honey. One day round at my parents house he played this song to me and I was blown away. It’s about a lost love after a warm romantic summer. I lost touch with Andy and really do not know how he is or where he is. If any one was at Loughton College 1970 - 1972 please let me know if you have any information. I[He lived in Epping] In the meantime I offer to all who want to listen, this beautiful song Summer 71 words and music by Andy Staines.

As Paul McCartney once sang "I go back so far I'm in front of me" This was my school band called Lopp... read morey's Lott. We played several local gigs and I actually wrote "When The Light" at this time and my good friend Pete Spence arranged it for the band. We recorded this in 1968 at Pete's parents house all cramming drums piano and guitars into one room. Forgive the quality as it's a home recording...........it has a lot of good memories and its now my favorite Golden Oldie.
