Description: first song I've written in a while and spent the last 2 days playing around with it on audacity, nice to be back doing what I really enjoy 💜 video here https://youtu.be/py3OPp084FY

this is so very nice Aine wonderful writiung and singing

Your delicate voice flows so sweetly in this tender, relaxed song. You harmony style is very effective. Durge

Creative, unique chord  progression, but your smooth, gentle harmonies make it feel so easy.

Is it to go somewhere far away on the way, or to sit on the seashore to this song?

Wolves is a poem written by my brother Ciarán, I loved how descriptive and emotive the words were so put them to music and recorded it in an earlier acoustic version and here it has been transformed again by 2Rightly, his profile here-

OKAY I WON'T                 Janine Levinson 2022

Song, bass, keys, vocals: me

Don't be sad    
Don't be shy    
Don't give yourself to every guy

Don't be hard 
Don't be small            
Don't be anything at all

Okay Mom, I won't      
Okay dad, I'll be     
Just what you want
But there's one thing 
I won't be me!

Don't be weak   
Do what's right   
Don't stay out too late at night

Don't be fat 
Don't be lazy  
Keep your mouth shut 
Don't act crazy

Okay Mom, I won't      
Okay dad, I'll be     
Just what you want
But just one thing 
I won't be me!

Time will tell if you destroyed me
Or just simply took my joy
Could it be that I annoy you
Or did you wish you had a boy?

Don't be me
Just be them
Satisfy their every whim

Don't be real,
Don’t be ferocious
Don't reveal my real emotions

Okay Mom I won't
Okay Dad I'll be
Your nice little girl
But just one thing
I won’t be me!

Okay I Won't  -with Jonathan Beckenstein

This is a song inspired by current events not about a current war but all wars ..the only way for the human race to survive is to try and live in peace and harmony and respect all living creatures..
lyrics
I dont want to live in a world like this
everyday on the outside getting hard to exist
running out of fuel ..they keep raising the prices
theres a war down in europe and i know we are in crisis
we need a solution/to put an end to all wars 
dont need these dictators or what they are fighting for
telling you and the others/how to live your lifes
all there dirty agenders on the edge of a knife

What if your country changed and lost its peace took center stage
and all the guns and arms were gone to love you all and sing some songs
WHAT IF ? there was no police and protests to take belief
surrender all ye fellow men lay down your arms and start again
dont let the weight of this world
rest on your fate or what you been sold

I dont want to see all this pointless suffering
dropping bombs and killing and nobodys gonna win
tell all the people its for freedom of the land
and the media machines are there to take your hands
Dont need these intruders/invasion of the skys
guns and blood and tears now /open up your eyes 
no care for environment. no fear takes the blame
all for gas and religion we dont think the same 

live together in harmony rest together in peace
respect every living creature try and find a release
lay down your arms my friend what you fighting for
theres no winners on the edge of abyss of a stupid war

Unfinished lost project from right before I lost Logic Pro X...
It was done with a midi keyboard in logic and I used their drummer feature for the drums. 

Lyrics:
When modern prophets of metropolis flow through the stream of consciousness
They're skipping like stones across the water
How many times can we bounce this fire
From the stream into the open air
Before it sinks back into the water
To reunite with the all aware

Set the stream aflame
Let spirit illuminate the current
Ignite the living fire within
So we can dance through life and meet its rhythm

Every step we skip across the 
Water leaves a 
Dilating stretch of 
Waves that transfer
Energy from the 
Portals that have opened up in the
Steps that we have taken to
Connect with the worlds of the profane and sacred
In a dance that eternally unravels the soul

Set the stream aflame
Let spirit illuminate the current
Ignite the living fire within
So we can dance through life and meet its rhythm

(Tibetanized Amitabha Mantra for Rebirth in Pureland)

https://namo84000en.wordpress.com/2011/03/31/amitabha-mantra-for-rebirth-in-pureland-2/ 

I like to write music that I might remember one day when I'm dying and transitioning to the bardo - this mantra is one of the things I would like to remember - not because I'm superstitious, but because I would like to be thinking about the “eternal, pure light, which is the source and primordial ground of our being” as I die:

Lyrics before the mantra were inspired by the book: 365 Tao: Daily Meditations by Ming-Dao Deng: http://dengmingdao.com/books/365tao.php

Thank you all who take the time to listen to my music, I really appreciate every comment, like and reposts 💜 I've discovered so much amazing music on soundcloud and so many talented and lovely people too. 
I've been writing songs on and off for over 20 years, I write mostly about life experiences and anything that I'm passionate about or situations that I've been in but sometimes imaginary too.. Music means so much to me and I'm really enjoying recording more in this strange lockdown year...
I like how Rumi says it.... 
'You are not just a drop in the ocean, you are the whole ocean in one drop'
