More Music by Tobiah & Micah Atwell

Firstly, my superduper website (I love it) was designed by Micah Atwell - See Top Friends- Thank you x I have been writing songs and performing from the age of 14 when I was given my first guitar and two months later I performed my first solo gig in Ainsworth near Bury in Lancashire. I was lucky enough to be managed by Brian Freshwater (Joss Stone, Derek Bramble, Connor Reeves, Lynx, David Grant, Leeson and Vale, Foy Vance) for quite a few years and released my first single HOPE IN AMERICA © which achieved number one status on almost all the UK local stations. After a period with Crysalis/ EMI, I released my first E.P. TRUST ©, produced by Rod Argent of Zombies fame - and Pete van Hooke - Mike & the Mechanics / Van Morrison. Then, in 2008, I wrote and produced my first acoustic album, TRAVELLER ©. Just me, my harmonies and my wonderful Washburn semi - acoustic. I write mainly ballads and have over 100 songs in my catalogue. Now I am collaborating with my talented novelist friend, Ginny Vere Nicoll, another romantic like myself. I wrote the song, THE SMILE © for her first book, THE SMILE, published in 2008. The plan is to release a CD of my songs to go alongside her next book, UNDER THE OLIVES, with a percentage of sales going to the amazing charity, FACING THE WORLD which restores the faces of disfigured children in Third World Countries. It was very sad to hear last May of the tragic death of one of the key doctors in the charity, Martin Kelly, who was only 43. I feel so much for his widow, Natascha McElhone for I have shared her heartbreaking experience. I wrote TRAVELLER IN TIME © as result and it is so good to know that it has helped others who have experienced such profound loss. I've wanted for a while now to take some time to tell you about my songs on this page and why I wrote them. NO CRY ©- this was written for a very good friend of mine who just wouldn't believe that she could sort out her problems and be happy. This song is for everyone.. we all have the power to be happy if we are positive. TRAVELLER IN TIME© was written for my first husband, Julian Thomas, an amazing guitarist who died so unexpectedly and so young at the age of 28 before he'd had chance to prove himself. He and Derek Wood took Plymouth by storm with their amazing virtuose rock duo, Don't Pick the Daisies. From Hendrix to Beethoven's Pathetique, Julian's playing was astonishing. This song is dedicated to all those we have loved and lost. HEAVEN © was written for my first producer Bob Carter. He wrote MAMA USED TO SAY with Junior. He was such a talented and gifted musician whose vocation was writing film music. I'm so glad he had found true love, Jo, and his path in life before he died so cruely of pancreatic cancer. I SEE YOU NAKED © is about falling in love - a feeling we should never forget. It is the song which has and continues to provoke the most reaction. Even Will Smith phoned me and raved about it, putting it on hold for an R&B group on his record label. I have a wonderful R&B version of the song as result but sadly, they were dropped before it was released. I think this is a big song.. we'll see. TRUST© - this speaks for itself. The legendary Rod Argent and Pete van Hooke produced an amazing version of this. The lush chords sound fabulous but somehow, I like this simple and poignant version just as much. To lose trust is to lose everything. Now, at last I have my own studio and I have started work on my second album. The first three tracks , SOS.GOD ©, MAKE ME STRONG © and THE SMILE © are posted for you to hear. It's so fab to record and produce- to do just what I want with no time pressure. If you want to know about SOS.GOD, visit the Blog. UNDER the OLIVES © is my latest song. It celebrates the power of endurance, the triumph of love, and, of that special place under the olive trees in Greece. Some say my best song so far?! Well, that's it. Thanks for reading all this - you are a star! I hope you enjoy and PLEASE let me know what you think. Tons love Tob xxxx tobie.thomas@ucs.org.uk Main Photo: Delila Dyson. Song Images: Penny Histead

Just wanted You to know I care about You and Love You Tob. Try to keep a smile on your beautiful face, and at times I know that can be most difficult. Have a most beautiful Thursday Tob.
Colyn	Nov 3 2009 12:22 PM ANNABEL LEE It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of ANNABEL LEE; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. I was a child and she was a child, In this kingdom by the sea; But we loved with a love that was more than love- I and my Annabel Lee; With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted her and me. And this was the reason that, long ago, In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling My beautiful Annabel Lee; So that her highborn kinsman came And bore her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulchre In this kingdom by the sea. The angels, not half so happy in heaven, Went envying her and me- Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of the cloud by night, Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee. But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we- Of many far wiser than we- And neither the angels in heaven above, Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee. For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride, In the sepulchre there by the sea, In her tomb by the sounding sea. Edgar Allan Poe ;

Poetry In Ocean™ Lynn	Oct 27 2009 6:48 AM Two very strange creatures (aliens from another world) head out in their spacecraft on Halloween night. "It is the biggest night of the year in outer space!" The two put on their costumes and start off with a visit to the Pumpkin planets and then they visit the planet Suzy and Gargo. The real treat is planet Reba Del Ray where kids can request their treats. When the brothers finally get to earth, they are not too happy because all they get is candy and encounter lots of traffic. On the way back home, they get lost in a black hole. An ET treat ~ Hugs Lynn ©
John	Oct 26 2009 9:25 PM How is my Beautiful Tob today? I certainly hope fully recovered. I am doing 100% better now and am ready now for the 16 hour days on My Space again. How is the CD coming along? Had a beautiful comment from Ginny the other day and hear that the new book is coming along just fine. I am nearly done with the "Smile" and it is a most beautiful and well written book, I read it a little at a time, I did manage to read almost half of it when I went to visit Mike, but then I had no computer to work My Space. I see that Your fan and and Friend base is really picking up and I so recognize many of the Friends. Wearing those heels yet? I sure do hope so. Love You Beautiful Tob and just keep up that good work.
Sue	Oct 26 2009 5:38 PM Hope you have a wonderful start to your week and all is going well for you :) Hugs ~ Sue
Poetry In Ocean™ Lynn	Oct 24 2009 7:15 AM Ravens have a long history of myth and lore associated with them. In some native tribes they are known as the "Keeper of Secrets." It is believed they hold the teachings of mysticism and magic. Their inky black color is associated with darkness where unconscious fears live. With creepy sensations ~ Lynn©
