Soften My Heart - Beth Williams Gospel Songs

One of the greats by Bob Dylan in 1962.   This song has been covered by Elvis, Eric Clapton, Waylon , Willie and Merle, John Mayer, Ed Sheenan ,Peter Paul and Mary,  and the list goes on.   Wow- this song has been with me a long time.  I can't do it justice but this is a simple version that I enjoy playing.

Neat 

The Promised Land

Oliver originally sent me his piano track for this tune back in September (3 months ago) and at the time I was very busy and did not have a chance to work on it.

Then another couple of tracks arrived and it was almost forgotten about until now!

Whilst I had some time off work I was working on various musical projects and re-discovered this track 'New Project 100918' and loaded it into my DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). I listened a couple of times and heard some melodies in my head, which I recorded using some orchestral strings and harmonising guitars. I then added the choir, timpani and ended with a gong - finally adding some drums at Oliver's suggestion.

Oliver's original piano idea had become quite an epic and deserved a suitably epic title, so I called it The Promised Land (evoked by the biblical epic films of Cecil B De Mille).

Yes, we need a little Faith 
Oh Yeah, Faith
We need it to walk this world 
We need a little Faith
Maybe, we’ll find a shell with a shiny pearl?
And, if we have Faith…..
Will we trust in things we haven’t seen?
Oh, Faith
Why, some people need theirs laced 
…….with just a little green
(Chorus)
Anyway….
Find something to believe in
Find a way…..
Keep pushing along
Maybe, that’s the way
We keep our spirits strong
(Bridge/Verse)
Takes courage to just let go
Even though deep down we surely know
When the unexpected becomes all too real
Why…Don’t let yourself forget to feel

Sim, precisamos de um pouco de fé
Oh sim, fé
Precisamos que ande neste mundo
Precisamos de um pouco de fé
Talvez, encontraremos uma concha com uma pérola brilhante?
E, se tivermos fé ...
Vamos confiar em coisas que não vimos?
Oh, fé
Por que algumas pessoas precisam deles?
…… .com apenas um pouco de verde
(Refrão)
De qualquer forma….
Encontre algo em que acreditar
Encontrar uma maneira…..
Continue empurrando
Talvez seja esse o caminho
Mantemos nosso espírito forte
(Ponte / Verso)
É preciso coragem para deixar ir
Mesmo no fundo, certamente sabemos
Quando o inesperado se torna real demais
Por que ... não se esqueça de sentir

Sunny Beaches All Around

You’ll be remembered someday
Forever trapped in the play
Like a cold December Day
You’ll be home-schooled away
. . . Home-schooled away
You'll be home-schooled away
 
And when you find true love
The bastards will have their say
Chasing their tails and setting their sails
Like a castaway 3x

Date with protest, you gave a shout
Mixing your feelings and laughing about
Torn by the way you held your own barking dog
And pressured friends to Network jobs

I’m was feeling kind of jaded
Self-effaced and hated
Selfish and frustrated
and never created
 
Ran through the back door and held the key
Wind screamed through the dusty screen
Scores of crows were circling the sky
The omens were bad and the adults always lied
 
I’m was feeling kind of jaded
Self-effaced and hated
Selfish and frustrated
and never created

You’ll be remembered someday
Forever trapped in the play
Like a cold December Day
You’ll be home-schooled away
. . . Home-schooled away
. . . Home-schooled away
 
And when you find true love
The bastards will have their say
Chasing their tails and setting their sails
Like a castaway 10x

Darren Sullivan / Bluedusksun Collab ~ Seven Twelve

Looking for Somebody

wow. WOW. It is released. It has been "finished".

This has been one of the most challenging and rewarding collaborations to date. Interesting as *thommo* (https://soundcloud.com/thommo_tunes) was the first person I ever collaborated with over soundcloud. Our first track "Alchemy" kind of just fell together within weeks.  4am not only took over a year but has 3 very different versions.   The first version was 6 minutes long, very fast and the lyrics were much darker.  The second had the same lyrics but the beat was much different. 
*thommo* and I started going in different directions and we both kind of threw our hands up. My communication dropped off due to life changes. *thommo* every now and then would send a message reflecting on wanting to revisiting the track but I was consumed with a far different life than I was living the first time we collaborated. 

However, *thommo* kept pushing on this track and eventually sent me the first draft of this newest version and all of the excitement and passion jumped alive. It was the best of what both of us saw the tracks potential as.  

So HERE WE ARE! Full circle with our completed collaboration ready for your listening enjoyment.  From EllE of Cycle of Hands and *thommo* we bring you: 

4 A.M.

lyrics:

There are some things that wait until the quiet
Time of night
To take over your mind before the day gets bright
When everyone’s still asleep I feel like I might
Be the only one alive so I look to the sky

I take comfort in the stars and the moon in despite
Of their distance from my room where I sit and write
Pieces of ideas from this muse deep inside
She’s the higher form I use to free my light

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

I Ignite a little fire to see where I am
In the A.M. I get tired but I still can’t land
Mayhem of creation doesn’t care about plans
I made when my intention was lights out by 9

But Inspiration beckons and I can’t reject the call
If it is passed to me it’s disrespect if I drop the ball
Of energy like electricity from the wall
It’s all I see and I know its me who needs to crack this vault

It’s 4 am and I am
In the deep end 
No sleep then
For me this night

It’s me and my mind
I can’t unwind 
I wonder 
I hunt for 
What is life

It’s 4 am and 
The world is small
This screen the window 
And my wall

No sounds are heard
Except my own thoughts
They go Back and forth 
And it ticks me off

My eyes are glued to this new creation 
I can’t stop, drop or leave this inspiration 
Inside me theres a key to the ignition 
When its turned There is no chance of intermission 
I’ve been hitting on something much bigger than fiction 
I know Because it comes straight from my deepest intuition 
It can’t wait to escape from everything I’ve written 
Leaping from the words the moment you see em

So tonightt I am defying my sleep cycle 
Gonna try to give life to these dreams that I pull
From the hat on my skull That been getting too full 
With ideas and scenarios playing like a film roll 
On repeat so I need to hit focus and record
Can’t miss a thing double checking every cord
I know that the final piece is my only reward 
I blow through minutes and hours with every step taken towards
My gold

4am (*thommo* and EllE)

CONFINEMENT BLUES (Alfonso LLorente)

On Empty Streets

Original Lyrics by Tony Harris (a little Hot Rod fun during these troubled times)
Blues Music by Bob Warner

I WAS A BIT BORED
WHILE CRUSIN' ONE NIGHT
IN MY OLD 31 FORD

AND THEN I SAW A GTO
WITH IT'S PIPES BLASTIN'
I KNEW IT WAS ALL SHOW

HE WAS LOOKIN' AND SMILIN'
AND WE SAW NO COPS
SOON, OUR TIRES WERE SMOKIN'

WE RAN SIDE BY SIDE
FROM RED LIGHT TO RED LIGHT
MAN, HE WAS HURTIN' MY PRIDE

AS HIS LIGHTS WERE FADIN'
OUT OF NOWHERE
BLUE LIGHTS WERE FLASHIN'

THE COPS CAUGHT THE GTO
AND I KNEW HE WAS IN TROUBLE
HE HAD NOWHERE TO GO

ON THE OUTSIDE OF TOWN
I HID BEHIND A CHURCH
WHILE MY NERVRS SETTLED DOWN

THE DRIVER OF THE GTO
SPENT THE NIGHT IN JAIL
I WAS LUCKY DON'T YOU KNOW

YEA, I WAS A BIT BORED
WHILE CRUSIN' ONE NIGHT
IN MY 31 FORD
THEN I SAW A GTO
WITH IT'S PIPES BLASTIN'
I KNEW IT WAS ALL SHOW
YEA, I KNEW IT WAS ALL SHOW
