There is often lots wrong with the UK and we might think we aren't privileged. But we are, and the fact we're all amazingly privileged is really obvious when you move to a place where many people aren't so much, for example, Nairobi...

Stop The Cavalry - Den Miller (Jona Lewie cover)
มุมมอง 347หลายเดือนก่อน
Here's my Christmas John Lewis advert (Jona Lewie's real name). This song was written primarily as a protest song, and my autoharp and harmonica version is a nod to what that might have sounded like, had not the record label marketeers heard the line about Christmas. We need peace in the world, and Stopping The Cavalry is for life, not just for Christmas.... To find out more about my music, go ...

A song about why I keep on writing songs and performing them in front of people. The original guitar and vocal is from the 2009 studio album "Still A Beautiful World", recorded in Yorkshire.

Judas (by Den Miller) - the betrayal that is terrorism

A song about the betrayal that is terrorism. Betrayal of those the terrorists claim to represent. Betrayal of the religion they claim to follow. Betrayal of the humanity they claim to fight for. Betrayal of justice by killing the innocent. Betrayal of the truth by replacing it with their own version of it. Betrayal of logic, building by destroying.

It Matters If It Matters To You (live) - Den Miller

One of my favourite things to do with my autoharp is to try and work out songs of mine that I didn't write on it. The autoharp only has 21 chords, so not all songs can be played on it. However, this one can - all except one chord. If you spot which one I've had to replace, put your guess in the comments! For details of where I will be performing, see www.denmiller.com/live

    Excellent Cover! Also, I reckon one of the reasons Den is such a great songwriter is because he listens to other writers' work and knows what goes into a good song. So many singer-songwriters don't seem to do that, with the result that all their songs come out sounding very similar.

    Just found out that John Lewis passed away a week ago. He read out The Knifesmith poem at Baccapipes Folk Club a couple of years ago and that was the first time I'd heard it. Granted, it's a good poem, but he delivered it so well that it inspired me to write this music to turn it into a song. Rest In Peace John and thank you so very much.
