An ear for my thoughts? Holworks nominated for a Golden Kayak? Three times? Road Dust, Three Wishes, and Male Artist of 2018? Yep, that all happened. I did not win, but to be nominated by peers, well that is cool.

This page is nothing more than laziness. I am using music from Audio Blocks to write my stories to, laziness, nothing but laziness. I'll endure laziness for sonic clarity any day. It's all about production to me now. Besides, I have so many poorly recorded songs already. It was time to upgrade.

Here is how it started so many years ago. I walked into a room. A band was playing music. There were no words or vocals to the music. It was country and it made me think of a line dance in the backyard so I sang Backyard Eutopia to it.

I heard more music. I wrote more words and sang. These songs are from my most recent recording ventures. Maybe I can make you smile, or feel something that I did. If you watch enough YouTube videos, you'll hear some of this music scattered in a pet video or another. Someone else liked the music. It made me sing after all . . .

Thank you Lord!

Holworks	1/23/2019 8:17:10 PM Thanks to all the folks on IMP for listening to my songs and liking them enough to nominate Holworks for a Golden Kayak. Though I didn't win, it is nice to know that all the hard work I have put into making these songs in 2018 has merited your attention. This is not supposed to be, just ask anyone close to me. If I had a band, maybe it would be different. Still, I am a grateful conduit, returning what the Lord gives to me. I wish everyone all the best with your music!!!!
Psyche's Muse	1/3/2019 10:05:10 AM CONGRATULATIONS!!! Golden Kayak Award Nomination! -M-
Psyche's Muse	11/28/2018 12:03:45 AM Road Dust!!! Fine as shit man! Love listening to your stuff! Thanks for posting it here! -M-
Holworks	9/23/2018 10:13:35 PM Yay! It is all fixed. . . !
Holworks	9/9/2018 8:34:23 PM My songs still do not play when I click on play. I generate quite a bit of traffic to this site but not if the songs will not play for people who want to listen. I have asked Support to help. It is not my browser, computer, or device. The songs will not play on any device I own and they would on September 3, 2018. I thank all of you for your comments. Hopefully, Support will fix this.
Desperado Revue	9/4/2018 3:07:52 PM Good news, The songs are all playing when I stream my stations. However, they won't play if you try to play them individually. Norm
Desperado Revue	9/4/2018 11:57:49 AM Hey Mark. Just read your message on my page. No, do not remove any of your songs. However, I did notice that yesterday, a new entry appeared on the New Songs section on the front page of IMP, "Holworths Introduction ". That is when the problem started if that can help you with your dealings with IMP Support. Norm
Desperado Revue	9/3/2018 8:53:47 PM Thought I'd let you know that none of your songs are playing right now. Norm - Stations Manager
Psyche's Muse	8/30/2018 1:25:50 PM BTW- read your remarks below... have said a prayer for you... May God Bless! You! And "ALL" That You Do! Amen!
Psyche's Muse	8/30/2018 1:23:17 PM Thank You! ...for posting your wonderful music here. It has been a pleasure(yet once again) listening to it. =M=
Neil w Young	8/20/2018 1:20:40 AM Thank you for stopping by my page, Mark, and for your most kind words. That I would be so honoured and be seen as one who inspires you, truly is humbling. It is great to see the well-deserved recognition being given to you and your music of late on the site. As a long-time member of IAC/IMP, and that you have stood the test of time, speaks highly of you and your music. My thanks to you too for being a special part of our artist community, and for the part you play in breathing life and hope into the dream. Neil
Holworks	8/12/2018 5:41:01 PM For you reading this message, thank you! The last four months for me have been filled with headphones, overdubs, splicing, rehearsing, repeating, and generally getting lost in a morass of music. I wish I could do it all the time and didn't have to worry about whether or not I am going to lose my house for not working at something that is bringing in an immediate income. I do believe I am supposed to write songs, or else I never would have written one, let alone 150+. Alas, I contribute to cosmic noise as the stars have yet to align for me properly, or maybe they have and quicksand is my pound of flesh. Regardless, I hope the next 9 years reveal to me my musical purpose. I want it, but may not possess the skills needed to make it happen. My smile remains as I can listen to my songs here on Indie Music People to remind me - I give all!
Steve April	7/12/2018 10:35:16 PM You've got a "sleeping giant" quality to your songs, that seems to come with a kind of divine inflow, or inspiration, that I dig/have affinities with. Dreamlife on... cheers
Holworks	7/10/2018 9:02:32 PM Wow, nine years between comments, . . .I guess I should be more active, lately I have been. I quit writing after Forage in 2015. I thought what anyone would when a dream is no longer lambent, I Give Up to commemorate a song I had written years earlier. In April, I found myself unemployed, no longer a Honda salesman, which afforded me three albums in material over two of five years with three years in a creative black hole. I still had song ideas but I tried playing, performing my songs to anyone who would listen. Hundreds of Periscope, Facebook, YouTube video ventures to build an audience and have something to post to Twitter. Since I already recorded those simply, I found myself with a lot of time to headphone. I recorded seven songs in seven days for the DreamLyfe album. All of them are on this site.The tedious part for me is the music, . . .ahhh, . . .I am not fluent with it like those four year olds on YouTube. Well, enjoy my music, this colored air. Maybe I will correct the mistakes I hear in them and make some more songs soon to finish that album - DreamLyfe - I do want a T-Shirt. - Mark - Higher Order Language Works - Holworks
Psyche's Muse	7/8/2018 7:18:59 PM Yes! You DO!... "Color" the "Air" that is... just like a rainbow! Great work my friend! Great Work! -M-
