On completion of his diploma, in 2006, he went on to co-write and co-produce one female artist&#39;s  10 songs debut album in the pop/rock genre. This was an exciting singer from Doncaster. It was a worthwhile experience doing the project at Motion Studios in South London with Alan Van Kleef, of VK Drums now, as engineer.

On the other hand, Sydney&#39;s Guard attended several auditions from London film extra casting agencies which shortlist him for various projects to include Inkheart film by Brendan Fraser, The Other Man film by Antonio Banderas, Black Gold film by Marc James Francis &amp; Nick Francis, plus more small ones. Sydney&#39;s Guard is an optimistic artist who will handle any project with enthusiasm, maturity and professionalism.

THIS IS RICHARD ANDREW EVANS FROM LINKED IN ( thanks for connecting with me on there, follow me on here everyone reading ) :)  NEW ALBUM COMING LATER THIS YEAR:  ... now comment on this music video... almost like some 1990s &quot;radiohead - thom yorke&quot; solo style :) perhaps add a bit of reverb to the voice and I can imagine a nice bass line entering this song and then cymbals and drums slowly entering and building up to a beautiful organ to really enhance the emotion behind the song :)  I love the &quot;crispness of the acoustic sound&quot; you have made with your guitar :)good job :)

I had the ideas for this song for sometime in my head but only managed to finish writing it when I was on a bus, one afternoon, in Central London in the traffic jam after I had received a call that morning from home that my mother had died! Probably you may find yourself relating to it! It won't be a bad anthem for funerals either!!

Lyrics to Wonder Life 

Verse 1 
I wake up each morning wondering 
why am I here?
Sit up thinking asking
 Who am I now?
Is this the right way to go?
Who cares if I hang?

Bridge 2
I watch life glide me its way
My strong fight is weak I let go

Chorus
Wonder Life
Where do you come?
Wonder Life
Where do you go?
You are such a mystrey!
Wonder Life
Where do you come?
Wonder Life
Where do you go?
So incomprehendable!

Verse 2
I take a fag and go on wandering
All over these streets
Fight no man fight feelings 
But all time I am won
Left wailing what the life!
Who cares if I hang?

Bridge 2
I watch life glide me its way
My strong fight is weak I let go

Chorus

Bridge Variation
You bring me here, I don't know why!
Give me desires, don't satisfy
Show me sweet ends, don't let me in
Ask me to wait, it takes for good
Take me in the end, I don't know where!

Chorus

Chorus (melody)

Prophet Of Trouble

TEARS OF HEROES 

Verse 1
Here I am running away tonight
From the claws of hungry wolves
Somewhere I am searching a place alright
Free from these laws and country wars

Bridge 1
I say I won’t be here to stay.
I’ll walk out myself tonight.

Chorus
These are tears of heroes. 
Dripping down our eyes with rage.
These are tears of heroes.
Flowing down our shoulders every day.
These are tears of heroes.
Rubbed away by the children we bore.
These are tears of heroes.
Stained over walls of houses we sleep.

Verse 2
Here I am building a house of my own.
From the wages of my hopeless jobs.
Somehow I am wishing I was in town.
Where the dollars can easily be yours.

Bridge 2
I say I won’t be here to stare.
I’ll help out myself tonight.
