Lost At Sea

Yo Peeps!

I figured it’s about time I posted something new, something positive. I’ve cooped myself up in my little studio world to work on a lot of new tracks for my band lately. In between I got caught up with producing a song for a new film, through one of my Los Angeles connections.

Now after listening to it several times I must say I am very, very pleased with the results. The song is called LOST AT SEA and it’s meant to portray that romantic, seafaring vibe that so many people have in their mind when they think about working on a ship or being out on the ocean.

If you take a look at the lyrics below, you can see the story of a man who is missing a woman. Yeah, I know, nothing new and that’s just the reason why this song works, ha! Anyway, give it a read and after that have a listen. Feel free to comment below.

Lost At Sea – written by PMG Music

It’s been three years and a day or so since I last saw you
For all I know you think I’m dead
On the eve after we made sweet love for the first time
A drunken fool got hit on the head
And woke up at sea with the world behind me

Many days and many nights sailing under the same sky
that you look up to with a tears in your eyes
Wondering just where I’ve gone because now it’s far too long
And it’s coming to the time where you move on

I’m lost at sea with the world behind me
Drop a tear in the ocean when you think of me
Your love and devotion will always haunt me

This sea of love in motion is floating me high above the ocean
I can see a child who’s loved and wholesome, your family
Can’t get beyond the notion it looks like me

Drop a tear in the ocean when you think of me
Your love and devotion is still haunting me
From ocean to ocean and sea to sea
Your love and devotion will always be
Like a tear in the ocean it’s so hard to see
Perpetual motion I’m lost at sea

I’ve wanted to post this for sometime now but couldn’t find the dang MP3′s to put here. Now that I’ve landed back in Europe for a time, I’ve been able to hook up some old hard drives and to my happy surprise, I’ve found my version of “HURT” as well as Trent Reznors and Johnny Cash’s.

Here they are for your enjoyment. As you’ll hear, I managed to combine the two, to some unique extent. I love ‘em all! Let me know your thoughts in a comment.

You know what, I just dug this out of a hard drive containing dozens of so-so recorded gems. I really think it’s great and now I’d like to recorded proper. Anyone want to help out? It’s worthy! Scroll down for lyrics and leave a comment.




“TIME” written and performed by Kamary Phillips

We’ve followed you for centuries
A million moments multiplied by infinity
Only God can shake the hands of time

Everyone needs time
We’ll change the world in time

Don’t forget the time, peace and tranquility
It lives and breathes in our humility
Don’t forget the sympathy that you lent to me
I’ll give it back in time

Everyone needs time
We’ll change the world in time
It all revolves around time

I remember the time when I was 15
I fell in love with a girl named Cindy
We played spin the bottle and she had to kiss me
That was my first time

Everyone needs time
We’ll change the world in time
You’ll get yours in time
We’ll find the cure in time
We’ll win the war in time
Once upon a time
Don’t waste your precious time
Until the end of time

We’ve followed you for centuries
A million moments multiplied by infinity
Only God can shake the hands of time

Everyone needs time
We’ll change the world in time
You’ll get yours in time
We’ll find the cure in time
Lets turn back the time
Once upon a time
All wounds are healed in time
Until the end of time

You know it’s time

Like it? Pass it around…

Kamary Phillips Band Is Born Again

Posted on by

After several years of virtual nothingness, Kamary Phillips returns with an all new line up for an old act, KAMARY PHILLIPS BAND or KPB, that's been around the block at least once over the last decade. Follow the development of this exciting, original project right here!



The official Bio looks like this;

KAMARY PHILLIPS BAND or KPB was formed by Kamary Phillips, an American and European singer songwriter.

Kamary, who fell to obscurity following a brutal major label merger, returns to the spotlight once again performing his brilliant, soulful original catalog as well as original interpretations of rock, pop and soul classics.

KPB keeps it simple with the amazing Will Lovell (Long Beach Orchestra) playing Upright Bass, the energetic fireball known as Mark "JR." MacDonald (Wesley Music Ensemble, Plutonic) playing Drums and Kamary Phillips (Aimee Mann, Joe Cocker, Xavier Naidoo) sings and plays a mean Acoustic Guitar.

Kamary Phillips Returns To Solo

It's been a few years folks and a few crappy record deals since I last called myself KAMARY PHILLIPS in front of an audience. Well, the deals are far behind me although some of the tragedy lingers on.

Recently, I met a fine, young gent by the name of Will Lovell and after he explained to me that he plays my beloved Contra-Bass (the giant bass Jazzers bang on) I was inspired to ask him for a little jam session. About 20 minutes later, literally, we were playing music together.

A week or so later, I figured it was time for our first public outing. You know, to test the waters. Here for your listening pleasure is that wonderful sonic experience, less one song (I forgot to press record) and rest assured, there will be more to come. I dare say, I'm returning to professional music and with a vengeance. My goal, to win a Grammy. Go on, laugh it up. I'm giving myself 3 years from today. Mark it on your calendars.

NOHO New Years

We had a great, intimate New Years hang at the studio of the great Randy Emata. Since Randy moved into our neck of the woods, we've had a new and important center to our little community of "analog friends". I'm personally thankful for Randy's friendship and continuous generosity!

Here's a bit of jamming, which we actually don't do enough of when hanging at the studio. I had the honor of joining these A CLASS musicians while playing bass and singing on this "USE ME" interpretation.

Here's a right cool jam. I really like the drummer on this one. I don't know his name however. Since I don't own drums nor have a place to play any, its the instrument I have the least practice on and which I enjoy playing the most. I try and play every chance I get at jams. This night, there were no bass players, so I got pulled into that corner almost all night. On this track, I show up around 5 minutes in, start playing bass around 7 minutes or so with Randy yelling chords at me. Rock and roll..."

This is a strange transition. I'm calling it FUNKY WHITE XMAS. First, I'm playing a funky-ass bass line (I still find cool as shit) that just doesn't catch on. It's like, no body's feeling it but me, no body really jumps on the jam. Then, Randy goes off on "Merry Christmas" or some shite, so I join him. I'm going back to that jam sometime.

PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC is the perfect name for this track. Sick drumming skills going on. It's an island-y thing I'm doing on bass until Randy comes in slingin' his Steinway muscle around, LOL! It comically peters-out in the end with some 'famous last words'.

Yeah, this kid can play...and he shall remain nameless.

Kamary Takes It WAY Back To 1922

Well, I couldn't resist grabbing this 1922 classic and making it my own. Public domain baby! A cell phone company was looking for some music and they wanted old school. I do mean old... They also wanted by 3pm and I got on it around noon. I budgeted about 30 minutes at the end for guitar parts. They were ringing in my ears so I already knew what I was going for.

When I plugged the cable in to play, I discovered it was a badly shorted cable and made nothing but noise. I repeatedly fiddled with it to no avail. All the other cables, were in my room mates car since our last gig the other night. No guitars kiddies. Maybe I'll be inspired by cellphones and finish this diddy up one day. Maybe not.

Some major artist will likely take it and make it happen big anyway, so just remember where you heard it first. :)
