FeelBetter

A little bit of kindness 
Spread throughout the day
Guaranteed to make it better
In each and every way

You don’t have to be a martyr
Don’t have to be a star
Reach out to one another
Wherever you are

You’ll feel better 
When you 
treat one another like you’re…
Sister and brother

Yea there’ll be some that
Just not to friendly
They’ll make hard just to
Get through the day
But you don’t have to
Pay them no mind no
Let all their griping go 
Right down the drain

You’ll feel better 
When you 
treat one another like you’re…
Sister and brother

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ wha wha wha ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Now you don’t have to worry no 
Cause it’s so easy to do
Just be kind to everyone and
They’ll do the same for you

Then there will be

Good times feeling fine
Free and easy
Nothing going to ruin the day
Sunshine on my mind
Bright and breezy
Blowing all the dark Clouds away

You’ll feel better 
When you 
treat one another like you’re…
You’ll feel better 
When you treat one another like you’re
Sister and brother
When you treat one another
Like you’re Sister and brother

FeelBetter

Dear Nicole

Based on an improvised jam with keyboards and guitar drones. 
This extended soundscape shifts between lighter and darker textures seeking to ascend. The photo was taken in February 2022 at Castle Rigg stone circle.

DO IT  Do you fill lucky

Quantum Supremacy

Original song and lyrics by Linda Straub

A Stand-up Man

The red rocking chair was for his visitors, 
the ones that barely ever came;
that rocking chair is all that is left
of the true love I'll never see again. 

You see, it's no fun getting older
when your health and home are stripped away;
what is left is but an empty shell,
a lifetime like a dandelion blown away. 

Once full of vim and vigor 
a lion who stood up for his fellow man, 
and gave with a humble generosity, 
Oh yes, he was  a standup man. 

Somehow, he just became a shadow
of the vibrant person he used to be;
at least that's how some people saw him,
but he was so much more to me.


The red rocking chair was for his visitors,
the ones that barely ever came;
that rocking chair is all that is left
of the true love I'll never see again. 

Once full of vim and vigor,
a lion who stood up for his fellow man,
and gave with a humble generosity,
Oh yes, he was  a standup man. 

Oh yes he was a standup man.
Oh yes he was a standup man.

A Stand-up Man (Original)

The Only Solo I Know

Halcyon 2

This track was created for the Naviar Haiku group.
It's my first participation in the Haiku challenge, a Philosophical question wich I answer with a dreamy ambient piece with elements to discover within the music, representing the wondering mind.

This track will for sure not make me a popstar, this one either. I can live with that, it's from my inner mind so then you know what a mess its there.

Strange Flowers - Where Are The Bell's? (Naviarhaiku 292)

This track was made for the Naviar Haiku challenge 293
https://naviarlab.tumblr.com/post/187000222072/naviarhaiku293-each-time-they-roll-in
The track was mastered through bad headphones(Logitech..for lync) so the overall soundquality isnt what I could want it to be, better next time.

Each time they roll in
the beach waves break up
the plovers
